background: the multifunctional transforming growth factor beta (tgf-β) is a glycoprotein that exists in three isoforms. tgf-β3 expression increases in fetal wound healing and reduces fibronectin and collagen i and iii deposition, and also improves the architecture of the neodermis which is a combination of blood vessels and connective tissue during wound healing. fibroblasts are key cells in t...

transforming growth factor betas (tgf?s) are one of the most widespread and versatile cytokines. the three mammalian tgf? isoforms, ?1, ?2, and ?3, and their receptors regulate proliferation of neuronal precursors as well as survival and differentiation in neurons of developing and adult nervous system. functions of tgf?s has a wide spectrum ranging from regulating cell proliferation and differ...

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) molecules are well known for their immunomodulatory properties and their function in tissue regeneration and remodeling. Objectives: To evaluate the interaction of TGF-β1 engineered MSCs with T cells and dendritic cells (DCs) and their modulatory effect on the immune response. Methods: MSCs and DCs were generat...

idiopathic chronic urticaria (icu), the most common form (70-80%) of chronic urticaria is supposed to have immune basis causes. it is speculated that the promoter polymorphism of tgf-β1 gene may be involved in icu. this condition is thought to affect at least 0.1% of the population and often can be severe and difficult to treat. a total of 40 patients with icu and 41 normal subjects were studie...

acute myeloblastic leukemia is the most frequent cancer in adults and the patients have a wide range of sub-classes. hla dr negative cases represent one of the major immune-phenotypic classes.  hla-dr is routinely used to distinguish acute promyelocytic leukemia (apl) from other aml subclasses based on the immunophenotype. the tgf-b signaling pathway, as a critical regulator, guides different v...
