Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) is a potent modulator of cell growth in many systems. In normal rat kidney fibroblasts, TGF-beta 1 increases epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor gene transcription and synergizes with EGF to stimulate growth in soft agar, a characteristic of the trans...
