Transforming growth factor-beta, Smad, and collagen expression patterns in fetal and adult keratinocytes.
Plast Reconstr Surg. 2007; (3): 852-7
The transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta family regulates cellular proliferation, differentiation, and migration. To better define the influence of keratinocyte-derived TGF-beta during development and repair, the authors examined the TGF-beta isoform, receptor, signal messenger Smad, and collagen type I expression in fetal and postnatal keratinocytes.
