As a prototype of cell signaling research, TGF-β signaling plays key roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, transdifferentiation, immune regulation and embryonic development. Therefore, its dysfunction is closely involved in the occurrence of varieties of human diseases. To advance the international TGF-β researches and collaborations, Life Sciences Institute of Zhejiang University invites outstanding international and domestic researchers in this field, and holds this peculiar seminar in Hangzhou.
