Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth beta-1 (TGF-beta1) appears to play a critical role in the regulation of arterial intimal growth and the development of atherosclerosis. TGF-beta1 is expressed at increased levels in diseased arteries; however, its role in disease development remains controversial. Experiments in which TGF-beta1 is overexpressed in the artery wall of transgenic mice could clarify the role of TGF-beta1 in the...
