Abstract excerpt
The transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF beta 1) signalling pathway is important in embryogenesis and has been implicated in hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), atherosclerosis, tumorigenesis and immunomodulation. Therefore, identification of factors which modulate TGF beta 1 bioactivity in vivo is important. On a mixed genetic background, approximately 50% Tgfb1-/- conceptuses die midgestation from...
