Is induction by transforming growth factor-beta1 of epithelial to mesenchymal transition a rare event in vitro?
The results presented herein show that, although many cancer cell lines have lost sensitivity to the growth inhibitory effect of TGF-beta1, most show evidence of TGF-beta1 signal transduction, but only a few cell lines undergo TGF-beta1-mediated EMT.
This study demonstrated that poly(isobutylcyanoacrylate) nanoparticles coated with chitosan were active against T. vaginalis without adding a drug. Besides their anti-T. vaginalis activity, the formulations are non-toxic towards pig vaginal mucosa.
