    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • TGF-beta1 induces amyloid-beta deposition in cerebral blood vessels and meninges of aged transgenic mice overexpressing this cytokine from astrocytes (
  • overexpression of TGF-beta1 may initiate or promote amyloidogenesis in Alzheimer's disease (
  • Transgenic mice overexpressing a constitutively active human TGF-beta1 developed fibrosis of the liver, kidney, and adipose tissue, and exhibited a severe reduction in body fat (
  • transgenic mice that overexpress active TGF-beta1 predominantly in the odontoblasts show a significant reduction in the tooth mineralization, defective dentin formation, and a relatively high branching of dentinal tubules (
  • Tgfb1(-/-) survival to birth, in addition to dependence on embryonic Tgfbkm2 genotype, also depends on maternal effects (
  • lack of TGF-beta1 expression in neonatal Tgfb1(-/-) mice results in a widespread increase in degenerating neurons accompanied by reduced expression of synaptophysin and laminin and a prominent microgliosis (
  • TGF-beta1 deficiency in adult Tgfb1(-/+) mice results in increased neuronal susceptibility to excitotoxic injury (
  • transgenic mice expressing wild-type TGFbeta1 in the epidermis developed inflammatory skin lesions, with gross appearance of psoriasis-like plaques, generalized scaly erythema, and Koebner's phenomenon (
  • increased TGF-beta signaling may contribute to the multisystem pathogenesis of mitral valve prolapse, including the development of myxomatous changes of the atrioventricular valves (
  • Specific inactivation of TGFbeta signaling in neural crest stem cells results in cardiovascular defects and thymic, parathyroid, and craniofacial anomalies (
  • aortic aneurysm in a mouse model of Marfan syndrome is associated with increased TGF-beta signaling (
  • male Tgfb1 null mice demonstrate complete inability to mate with females, associated with failure to initiate and/or sustain successful penile intromission or ejaculation
  • mice carrying a Camurati-Engelmann disease-derived mutant TGFB1 show progressive diaphyseal dysplasia (
