Among the multiple cell signaling pathways involved in cell migration, those elicited by transforming growth factorβ(TGF-β) have attracted tremendous attention. The TGF-βpolypeptide cytokines include four isoforms:TGF-β1, TGF-β2, TGF-β3, and TGF-β4, which are secreted mainly from cells of white blood cell lineage, such as macrophages, T cells and platelets.展开更多
