TGF-beta: problems and prospects.

Open access
Sporn, M B, Roberts, A B·1990·Cell Regulation

Abstract

TGF-beta research is proceeding at an exponential pace. Studies in this area have become increasingly relevant to many areas of cell regulation, continually providing new surprises and findings. One may confidently predict that TGF-beta will be one of the key molecules in future attempts to establish an integrated view of the processes whereby cells coordinate their own and mutual functions. We have seen only the beginning, and this minireview is only a glimpse.

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.
