Synopsis

Transforming Growth Factor-jl in Cancer Therapy, Volume I: Basicand Clinical Biology The present volume brings together a wealth of information that is fundamental to understanding the roleofTGF- in the pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of cancer. It is not even 25 years sinceTGF- was first isolated and characterized as a dimeric pep- tide from both human and bovine sources (1-3), but the entire fieldofTGF- research has grown and expanded so that it is now a central theme in all of cell biology. There is almost no tissue or organ in the mammalian body in whichTGF- does not playa central role in embryonic differentiation or in adult function, and furthermore, malfunction of the normal physiologyofTGF- can have disastrous consequences in almost all ofthese sites. Therefore, the present comprehensive review of so many aspects ofTGF- function is a most welcome attempt to bring together a huge body of experimental data that is of the utmost importance in the field of oncology.
