TGF inhibitors

TGF inhibitors are drugs that block the activity of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), a protein involved in cell growth, immune regulation, and tissue repair. While TGF-β plays a key role in normal body functions, it can also promote disease processes like cancer progression and fibrosis when overactive. By inhibiting TGF-β, these drugs aim to reduce tumor growth, limit scarring, and modulate immune responses in various diseases. They are being researched for potential use in cancer therapy, fibrotic diseases, and immune-related conditions.
