Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Brawijaya, Malang, Indonesia.
Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) carries a significant risk of atherosclerosis as the main driver for cardiovascular events. Atherosclerosis is initiated by the activation of the endothelium by various risk factors through the inflammation process. The anti-inflammatory cytokine TGF-β1 may inhibit the development of atherosclerosis.

Background: As a master immune system regulator, transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) is closely linked to the complicated pathophysiology and development of systemic sclerosis (SSc), a multisystem fibrotic disease.
Objective: We aim to evaluate the transcriptional levels of TGF-β1 mRNA in PBMCs, assess the TGF-β1 serum levels of SSc patients, and compare them with those of healthy subjects.
Methods: PBMCs were isolated from whole blood of 50 SSc patients and in 30 healthy controls.

Background: The aim of the study was to examine the significance of plasma Transforming Growth Factor-1/TGF-β1 (TGF-β1) level testing in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and heart failure.
Methods: A sample of T2DM patients who were hospitalised for dyspnea was chosen between June 2021 and June 2023. Based on the convenience sample approach, 150 cases were screened for the study, and 50 healthy non-diabetic people without cardiac problems who completed physical examinations over the same period were included as a control group.

Background: Tuberculosis vaccine trials using disease as the primary endpoint are large, time consuming, and expensive. An earlier immunological measure of the protection against disease would accelerate tuberculosis vaccine development. We aimed to assess whether the effectiveness of the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine for prevention of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection was consistent with that for prevention of tuberculosis disease.
