Expression of Transforming Growth Factor-β by Human Islets: Impact on Islet Viability and Function
Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is a pleotropic cytokine that promotes angiogenesis and extracellular matrix protein synthesis in addition to its immunosuppressive effects. The purpose of this study is to identify optimal conditions for in vivo expression of TGF-β1 by human islets to exploit...
