Inhibition of myogenic differentiation in myoblasts expressing a truncated type II TGF-β receptor
1 May 1994
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is thought to play a role in mesenchymal cell development and, specifically, in muscle differentiation, yet its precise role in the latter process remains unclear. TGF-beta has been shown to both inhibit and induce myoblast maturation in vitro, depending on the culture conditions. Whether the type I or type II TGF-beta receptor mediates the various TGF-beta effects on...
