Abstract excerpt
Keratinocyte reepithelialization is a rate-limiting event in cutaneous wound repair, which involves the migration and proliferation of keratinocytes to cover the denuded dermal surface. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) has the ability to induce epithelial cell migration while inhibiting proliferation, and controversial results have been generated regarding the effect of TGF-β signaling on...
