Harnessing the gatekeepers of glucocorticoids for chemoprevention of non-melanoma skin cancer.

abstract：:Transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) signaling has both tumor suppression and promotion roles. Smads are transcription factors that primarily mediate intracellular signaling for the TGFbeta superfamily. Loss of Smad2 and Smad4, but not Smad3 is common in human cancers. Given the complex nature of TGFbeta signalin...
