Blood is a tissue with high cellular turnover, and its production is a tightly orchestrated process that requires constant replenishment. Tgf beta signaling not only acts as a tumor suppressor, but has been shown, in vitro and in vivo, to act as a powerful stimulator of tumor progression. In astrocytes, tgf beta signaling is smad dependent and increased tgf beta can lead to an increase in cdkn2b which is an inhibitor of cdk46 cyclin dependent kinase 4 and 6, which are necessary for.
