Abstract excerpt
We have examined the immunocytochemical distribution of TGF beta 1 (transforming growth factor beta 1) in the gastrulating chick embryo, and have correlated the results with the ability of this factor to promote in vitro changes in the phenotype of mesoderm and epiblast cells. The findings, together with the demonstration that exogenous TGF beta 1 is also able to modulate extracellular matrix deposition by these...
