Some recent advances in the chemistry and biology of transforming growth factor-beta.
Open accessAbstract
W ITHIN the past two years, there has been an exponential increase in research on transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta). ~ In this brief minireview, we cannot provide a detailed survey of this topic (see referenees 56 and 73 for other reviews). Rather, we will summarize some new results, indicative of the importance of this peptide as a multifunetional regulator of cellular activity. The term ~nultifunetional" implies that TGF-beta may either stimulate cell proliferation and growth, or inhibit cell proliferation and growth, or have numerous other actions having little relationship to either of these two processes. We will develop the theme that many of the actions of TGF-beta are related to the response of cells or tissues to stress or injury, and to the repair of resultant damage. However, it is clear that there is no one principal action for TGF-beta; moreover, the almost universal cellular distribution of its receptor encompasses a very broad spectrum of target tissues.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
