TGF‐β signalling and liver disease

The transforming growth factor‐beta ( TGF ‐β) family signalling pathways play essential roles in the regulation of different cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, migration or cell death, which are essential for the homeostasis of tissues and organs. Because of the diverse and pleiotropic TGF ‐β functions, deregulation of its pathways contributes to human disease. In the case of the liver, TGF ‐β signalling participates...
