Abstract excerpt
Effective blockade of the pluripotent cytokine transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta as a means of cutaneous scar reduction is a strategy with great potential. This desired effect may be achieved through the overexpression of mutant TGF-beta receptors within the wound milieu. Our goal was to examine the effects of dominant negative mutant TGF-beta receptor II (TGFbetaRIIdn) protein expression in a...
