Abstract
This article is also accessible online at: http://BioMedNet.com/karger Since 1928 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gives awards to individuals for outstanding contributions to motion pictures. Awardees receive a small statuette known as ‘Oscar’. Oscar is a knight who stands atop a film reel holding a crusader’s sword [1]. Award winners are selected from groups of nominees in different categories such as ‘best actor’, ‘best supporting actor’, ‘best costume design’, and others. Transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß) would qualify for an academy award. In fact, this peptide and associated molecules could be nominated for an Oscar in several of the categories.
