26 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
Members of the TGF-beta superfamily exhibit various biological activities, and perturbations of their signaling are linked to certain clinical disorders including cancer. The role of TGF-beta signaling as a tumor suppressor pathway is best illustrated by the presence of inactivating mutations in genes encoding TGF-beta receptors and Smads in human carcinomas. This perspective is further supported by studies of...
