Abstract

Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is an important growth factor that plays essential roles in regulating tissue development and homeostasis. Dysfunction of TGF-β signaling is a hallmark of many human diseases. Therefore, targeting TGF-β signaling presents broad therapeutic potential. Since the discovery of the TGF-β ligand, a collection of engineered signaling proteins have been developed to probe and manipulate TGF-β signaling responses. In this review, we highlight recent progress in the engineering of TGF-β signaling for different applications and discuss how molecular engineering approaches can advance our understanding of this important pathway. In addition, we provide a future outlook on the opportunities and challenges in the engineering of the TGF-β signaling pathway from a quantitative perspective.
