If these lab-based results are confirmed in people then TGF beta-receptor inhibitors may prove a way of extending the useful lives of a plethora of medicines.

如果这项实验结果在人体内也得到证实，TGF beta受体抑制剂将被用来延长多种药物的使用寿命。

Moreover, treating these same Xalkori-resistant cells with an experimental drug designed to block TGF beta-receptors restored sensitivity to Xalkori, though it had no effect on cancer-cell growth on its own.

此外，设计药物针对同样的抗药细胞，使其表面的TGF beta受体被药物屏蔽，也会得到相同的实验结果，即使这种药物本身并没有阻止癌细胞增长的疗效。

Disabling the messengers of the gene that encodes a receptor protein called TGF beta-R2, which is found on cell surfaces, caused cells that had once been resistant to Xalkori to shrivel in its presence.

TGF beta-R2是一种存在于细胞表面的蛋白质受体，只要破坏编码这种受体DNA的信使RNA，就能消除细胞对Xalkori的抗药性。
