Abstract excerpt
Intercellular induction of apoptosis defines a potential control mechanism of oncogenesis. It is based on induction of apoptosis in transformed fibroblasts by neighboring nontransformed fibroblasts. Transforming growth factor type beta (TGF-beta) represents the initial triggering molecule to indu...
