Cancer Research: Biochemists Solve Structure Of TGF-beta And Its Receptor, University of Texas Health Science Center Study

ScienceDaily (Feb. 27, 2008) — Researchers from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio have determined the atomic-level structure of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-ß), offering clues as to how it interlocks with cell receptors with which it has special affinity. This interaction plays an important role in normal cells but is especially important in cancer.
