TGFβ superfamily signaling: notes from the desert

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: The TGFbeta pathways play crucial roles in many developmental events, as well as contributing to many disease states. To provide a venue for both signaling and developmental research on TGFbeta, a FASEB-sponsored bi-annual meeting was initiated six years ago, the fourth of which was organized by Caroline Hill and Michael O'Connor and took place this July in Tucson, Arizona. The meeting highlighted major advances in our understanding of the structural and biochemical aspects of TGFbeta superfamily signaling, its intersection with other pathways, and its contribution to disease.
