The transforming growth factor-betas. A new family of immunoregulatory molecules.

abstract：:The discrepancy between dynamical mass measures of objects such as galaxies and the observed distribution of luminous matter in the universe is typically explained by invoking an unseen "dark matter" component. Dark matter must necessarily be nonbaryonic. We introduce a simple hypothesis to do away with the necessity ...
