Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) regulates the cell cycle and the differentiation of mesenchymal cells into smooth muscle cells (SMCs). However, the precise intracellular signaling pathways involved in these processes have not been fully clarified. It has also been shown that there is an increase in TGF-β1 expression in human atherosclerotic plaques. Furthermore, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors...
