  Jan Marini Skin Research - Transformation Anti Aging Technology
Transformation focuses on TGF Beta-1 (Transformation Growth Factor), Thymosin Beta-4, Pentapeptides, and VGF (Vascular Epithelial Growth Factor) to bring anti-aging technology into the next generation of breakthroughs.
TGF Beta-1 is a form of cytokine technology that is believed to act as a cellular mediator by signaling certain cellular activities that are necessary for maintaining the appearance of youthful, healthy skin.
Researchers became intrigued with transforming growth factors when it was discovered that lifesaving surgery performed in-utero on fetuses during the first five months after conception left absolutely no scars.

 Transforming growth factor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Transforming growth factor (TGF) is used to describe two classes of polypeptide growth factors, TGFα and TGFβ.
Application of the transforming growth factors to normal rat kidney fibroblasts induces the cultured cells to proliferate and overgrow, no longer subject to the normal inhibition caused by contact between cells.
The name "Transforming Growth Factor" is somewhat arbitrary, since the two classes of TGFs are not structurally or genetically related to one another, and they act through different receptor mechanisms.
