Differential expression of TGF-β isoforms by normal and inflammatory bowel disease intestinal myofibroblasts

Intestinal strictures are frequent in Crohn's disease but not ulcerative colitis. We investigated the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta isoforms by isolated and cultured primary human intestinal myofibroblasts and the responsiveness of these cells and intestinal epithelial cel...

Zusammenfassung:	Intestinal strictures are frequent in Crohn's disease but not ulcerative colitis. We investigated the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta isoforms by isolated and cultured primary human intestinal myofibroblasts and the responsiveness of these cells and intestinal epithelial cells to TGF-beta isoforms.
