Abstract excerpt
Human transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGFB1) is a family of polypeptides that regulate cell growth, cell differentiation, and cell function as a multifunctional regulator of cellular activity. TGFB1 is produced by osteoblasts and stored in substantial amounts in the bone matrix, which is an important regulator of both skeletal development and homeostasis of bone metabolism. In the present study, we identified...
