Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a critical cell regulatory protein which influences cell growth, cell differentiation and cell chemotaxis. TGF-beta 1 has been previously shown to promote a migratory and adherent transformation of monolayers of renal proximal tubule cells in primary...
