Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ-1, -2, -3) ligands act through a common receptor complex yet each is expressed in a unique and overlapping fashion throughout development. TGFβ plays a role in extra-cellular matrix composition with mutations to genes encoding TGFβ and TGFβ signaling molecules contributing to diverse and deadly thoracic aortopathies common in Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS). In this investigation,...
