Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor beta 3 (TGF-β3) is a homodimeric cytokine with potential therapeutic applications in wound healing, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Production of recombinant TGF-β3 in Escherichia coli faces significant challenges due to TGF-β3's propensity for misfolding and aggregation, driven by a high disulfide bond content and low aqueous solubility. To address these limitations, the...
