Abstract excerpt
Overexpression of transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) in the gastric fundic mucosa of metallothionein promoter/enhancer-TGF-alpha(MT-TGF-alpha) transgenic mice produces a phenotype of foveolar hyperplasia similar to that observed in Ménétrier's disease. We have investigated the dynamics...
