Summary

Transforming Growth Factor-[beta] in Cancer Therapy, Volumes I and II, provide a compendium of findings about the role of transforming growth factor-[beta] (TGF-[beta]) in basic and clinical biology and cancer treatment and therapy. The first volume, Basic and Clinical Biology, is divided into three parts. Part I presents basic concepts of TGF-[beta] signaling in normal physiology and cancer pathobiology. Part II investigates TGF-[beta] superfamily members in normal and tumor biology. Part III details TGF-[beta] in inflammation and fibrosis.
