Transforming growth factor-β stimulates nerve growth factor production in osteoarthritic synovium

Abstract

TGF-β regulates NGF production via the TGF-β/ALK5 signaling pathway in osteoarthritic synovium. This effect may partially occur through inhibition of the TAK1/p38 pathway in the SYT of KOA patients.
