Evolution of the TGF-β signaling pathway and its potential role in the ctenophore, Mnemiopsis leidyi.
The TGF-β signaling pathway is a metazoan-specific intercellular signaling pathway known to be important in many developmental and cellular processes in a wide variety of animals. We investigated the complexity and possible functions of this pathway in a member of one of the earliest branching metaz...
