Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) is important in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), a subgroup within the TGFbeta superfamily, recently also have been implicated in CRC, but their precise role in CRC has yet to be investigated.
