Resistance of human squamous carcinoma cells to transforming growth factor beta 1 is a recessive trait.

abstract：:A hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis is the formation of an aggressive, tumor-like structure called pannus that erodes the joint. A major cellular component of the pannus is the fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLS), whose morphology strikingly resembles that of a transformed cell, but underlying mechanisms of this "transfo...
