Inhibition of transforming growth factor-β type II receptor signaling accelerates tooth formation in mouse first branchial arch explants
Members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily signal through their cognate receptors to determine cell phenotypes during embryogenesis. Our previous studies on the regulation of first branchial arch morphogenesis have identified critical components of a hierarchy of different TGF-beta isoforms and their possible functions in regulating tooth and cartilage formation durin...
متن کاملNGF---not just a nerve growth factor in the gut.
IN THE INTESTINAL EPITHELIUM, complex regulation is necessary to downregulate and control inflammation. The focus has been on the role of transforming growth factor (TGF)and IL-10 in this regulatory process (6). In the paper of Ma et al. (7) in this issue of the American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, nerve growth factor (NGF) is added to the regulator...
متن کاملRita Levi-Montalcini and the discovery of NGF, the first nerve cell growth factor.
The nerve growth factor (NGF) is a signaling protein, discovered by Rita Levi-Montalcini in the early 1950's for its effect on growth and differentiation of specific populations of neurons of the peripheral nervous system. Originally identified as neurite outgrowth-stimulating factor, later studies revealed that the purified molecule has a number of target cells in the central nervous system an...
متن کاملImmunology of nerve growth factor (NGF). The effect of NGF-antiserum on sensory ganglia in vitro.
The properties of the 'Nerve Growth Factor' (NGF) have been described extensively (Levi-Montalcini & Booker, 1960; Levi-Montalcini, 1965) and reviewed recently (Levi-Montalcini, 1966). This factor is a protein of molecular weight about 130000 in its aggregated form (Varon, Nomura & Shooter, 1967, 1968) but may be active in lower molecular weight forms (Cohen, 1959, 1960; Banks et al. 1968). It ...
