Abstract excerpt
The transforming growth factor (TGF)-β is a potent growth inhibitor primarily responsible for cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, and frequently perturbed during development of tumors, including gastric cancer. TGF-β receptor type I (TGFβR1) may be a modifier of cancer risk by constitutively decreasing the TGF-β inhibitory signals during early tumorigenesis and increasing the TGF-β signals in tumor...
