Transforming Growth Factor-β Signaling in Motor Neuron Diseases
31 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), a pleiotropic cytokine, regulates a diverse range of cellular responses, such as proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis. The TGF-β1, -β2, and -β3 isoforms are expressed by neurons and glial cells, and their receptors are expressed throughout the central nervous system. Several lines of evidence demonstrate that TGF-β signaling protects neurons from glutamate...
