Cellular context‐dependent “colors” of transforming growth factor‐β signaling
17 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta signaling has interesting characteristics in the context of cancer. Although perturbations of TGF-beta signaling are strongly implicated in cancer progression, TGF-beta signaling has both tumor-suppressive and tumor-promoting effects. For example, TGF-beta inhibits cancer cell proliferation in some cellular contexts, but promotes it in others. Although several approaches to...
