TGF-beta research is proceeding at an exponential pace. Studies in this area have become increasingly relevant to many areas of cell regulation, continually providing new surprises and findings. One may confidently predict that TGF-beta will be one of the key molecules in future attempts to establish an integrated view of the processes whereby cells coordinate their own and mutual functions. We have seen only the beginning, and this minireview is only a glimpse.
转化生长因子-β（TGF-β）的研究正以指数级速度推进。该领域的研究与细胞调控的许多领域越来越相关，不断带来新的惊喜和发现。人们可以有信心地预测，TGF-β将成为未来尝试建立细胞协调自身及相互功能过程的综合观点时的关键分子之一。我们所见的仅仅是开始，而这篇小型综述也只是略窥一斑。
