Reversible Inhibition of Mammary Gland Growth by Transforming Growth Factor-β

Silberstein, Gary B., Daniel, Charles W.·1987·Science

Abstract

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) can stimulate or inhibit growth of cells in vitro, as well as induce the transformed phenotype. Although widely distributed in animal tissue, the effects of TGF-β in vivo are largely unknown, and a physiological role for the peptide hormone has not been demonstrated. The effect of TGF-β on developing epithelial tissue in situ was studied by using slow-release plastic pellets containing TGF-β to treat developing mouse mammary gland. Powerful inhibition of mammary growth and morphogenesis was observed. This growth-inhibited mammary tissue was histologically normal, and the inhibitory effect was fully reversible. Under the conditions of these experiments, TGF-β displayed many of the characteristics expected of a physiologically active growth-regulatory molecule.

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.
