Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF beta 1) inhibits the growth of normal rat epithelial thyroid cells (FRTL-5 strain) by counteracting thyrotropin (TSH)-stimulated DNA synthesis and by slowing the cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Here, we have studied two clones of FRTL-5 thyroid cell...
