Abstract excerpt
TGF-beta (TGFβ) family mediated Smad signaling is involved in mesoderm and endoderm specifications, left-right asymmetry formation and neural tube development. The TGFβ1/2/3 and Activin/Nodal signal transduction cascades culminate with activation of SMAD2 and/or SMAD3 transcription factors and their overactivation are involved in different pathologies with an inflammatory and/or uncontrolled cell proliferation...
