Accounting for up to 45% of all deaths in the developed world, pathological fibrosis is a devastating condition that can affect virtually every organ system. The fundamental mechanism of action of fibrosis involves a dysregulated wound-healing response to chronic injury that leads to persistent and destructive scarring.

The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway is involved in the development of a wide range of human pathologies, with over 100 diseases associated with its dysregulation. Understanding **what disease is associated with TGF beta** requires exploring the dual and complex functions of this protein in regulating cell growth, differentiation, and immune responses.
