The cytokine transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) was initially purified from human platelets,
a rich source of this protein. In addition to platelets, TGF-β1 is also found in other blood …

The transforming growth factor type-β (TGF-β) superfamily of ligands, receptors, binding
proteins and ligand traps together plays a key role in the maintenance of normal blood …

The concentration of transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) in plasma has been correlated
with the development of several diseases, including atherosclerosis and certain forms of …

Platelets are rich in growth factors that may contribute to an accelerated tissue regeneration
process. The therapeutic osteogenic effect of local platelet administration probably depends …

Recent evidence has led us to propose that transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a key
inhibitor of atherosclerosis. We show here that a population of patients with advanced …

Plasma concentration of markers of inflammation are increased in patients with
atherosclerosis. However, it is unclear whether the pattern and magnitude of this increase …

Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF–β1) is a platelet–derived cytokine involved in both
normal wound healing and scarring. We show that human platelets contain two pools of …

Abstract CD105 (endoglin), a receptor for transforming growth factor (TGF) β1 and β3 in
vascular endothelial cells, is highly up‐regulated in blood vessels of tissues where …

Transforming growth factor (TGF) β plays a role in injury repair in sites surrounding brain
injury. The present study tested the hypothesis that TGFβ1 and TGFβ2 levels in the …

The aim of the present in vitro study has been to investigate the effects of a enriched platelet
derived growth factors on proliferation and migration of human endothelial and …
