Dynamic Monitoring of Cellular Remodeling Induced by the Transforming Growth Factor-β1

of serious pathological states. Epithelial�mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial process in embryogenesis, but it also occurs during progression of tumors derived from epithelial cells (for review, see (1 )). The transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is an important

Competitive RT-PCR Strategy for Quantitative Evaluation of the Expression of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Growth Hormone Receptor Type I

  Quantization of gene expression requires that an accurate measurement of a specific transcript is made. In this paper, a quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) by competition for tilapia growth hormone
