TGF-beta stimulates neovascularization and epithelialization in healing wounds, yet
relatively little is known about the mechanisms involved. Using the hairless mouse ear
wound model, we studied the effects endogenous TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2 have on
epithelialization and neovascularization following the application of neutralizing antibodies.
