TGF-? receptor function in the endothelium
15 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
Genetic studies in mice and humans have revealed the pivotal role of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling during angiogenesis. Mice deficient for various TGF-beta signaling components present an embryonic lethality due to vascular defects. In patients, mutations in the TGF-beta type I receptor ALK1 or in the accessory TGF-beta receptor endoglin are linked to an autosomal dominant disorder of...
