TGF-beta1 does not induce senescence of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells and has similar effects in early and late passages.

Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) stimulates a broad range of effects which are cell type dependent, and it has been suggested to induce cellular senescence. On the other hand, long-term culture of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) has a major impact on their cellular physiology...
