Abstract excerpt
The roles of transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) in heart or skeletal muscle development and physiology are still the subject of controversies. Our aim was to block, in transgenic mice, the TGFbeta signalling pathway by a dominant negative mutant of the TGFbeta type II receptor fused to the enhanced green fluorescent protein (TbetaRII-KR-EGFP) under the control of a 7.1 kbp mouse beta-myosin heavy chain...
