Cartilage homeostasis is governed by articular chondrocytes via their ability to modulate
extracellular matrix production and degradation. In turn, chondrocyte activity is regulated by …

Chronic wounds are characterized for their incapacity to heal within an expected time frame.
Potential mechanisms driving this impairment are poorly understood and current hypotheses …

The transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) family of growth factors control the development
and homeostasis of most tissues in metazoan organisms. Work over the past few years has …

When implanted as a biomaterial for tissue replacement, selected submucosal layers of
porcine small intestine induce site‐specific tissue remodeling. Small intestinal submucosa …

The Transforming Growth Factor β superfamily (TGFβ) is one of the most complex groups of
cytokines with widespread effects on many aspects of growth and development. The TGFβ …

Transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) superfamily members are multifunctional cell‐cell
signaling proteins that play pivotal roles in tissue homeostasis and development of …

In the 10 years since its definition and characterization, TGF-β has come to be accepted as
the prototypical multifunctional peptide growth factor. Attempts to understand its mechanism …

Abstract The TGF beta-1,-2 and-3 isoforms are transcribed from different genes but bind to
the same receptors and signal through the same canonical and non-canonical signal …

Colostrum is the first natural food produced by female mammals during the first 24–36h
directly after giving birth. Chemically, colostrum is a very complex fluid rich in nutrients …
