ACTIVIN B PROMOTES HEPATIC FIBROGENESIS

, 2019
Activin B, a TGFβ ligand, is associated with liver inflammatory response. We aimed to investigate whether it modulates liver fibrogenesis. Liver and serum activin B, along with its analog activin A, were analyzed in patients with liver fibrosis from ...

Hypoxia and hypercapnia elicit overlapping but distinct skeletal muscle toxicities

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Hypoxia and hypercapnia cause overlapping skeletal muscle phenotypes, including atrophy, change in myofibre metabolic profile and myogenic response to injury. Both signals operate via distinct cellular pathways. Abstract Skeletal muscle dysfunction is strongly associated with elevated mortality in acute and chronic pulmonary ...

NSAID ingestion augments training‐induced muscle hypertrophy and differentially affects muscle mRNA expression, but not strength gains, in trained men

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the impact of NSAID ingestion on resistance exercise training‐induced changes in muscle morphology, function and gene networks relative to placebo ingestion in trained males. Abstract Non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely overused in sports.

How Activin A Became a Therapeutic Target in Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva

Biomolecules
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by episodic yet cumulative heterotopic ossification (HO) of skeletal muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. FOP arises from missense mutations in Activin Receptor type

A review of xenobiotic membrane transporter expression within the human placenta: Lessons gained from primary tissue and in vitro methodologies

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A summary of the current knowledge around membrane transporter expression in the most widely used in vitro models of human trophoblasts, including primary placental tissue, cancer cell lines and trophoblast stem cells, as well as the techniques to attempt to mimic the human placenta in vivo.

Activin A does not alter striatal dopamine levels following MPTP.

, 2017
HPLC-ECD quantification of catecholamine levels revealed that activin A does not alter striatal DA (A), DOPAC (B), or HVA (C) levels following MPTP administration.

Adaptations of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist‐induced weight loss, drivers of weight regain and future directions of therapeutics

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend During GLP‐1RA treatment reduced appetite and energy intake, delayed gastric emptying, decreased visceral fat mass and improved glycaemic control contribute to weight loss. After treatment cessation these benefits are partially or completely reversed, resulting in weight regain, accompanied by increased appetite and energy intake,

From Association to Mechanism: Regulatory Annotation and Pathway Mapping of Genes Surrounding Breast Cancer Risk Variants

Computational and Systems Oncology, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Inherited factors account for a large share of breast cancer susceptibility, yet the biological consequences of most risk variants are still poorly understood. To address this gap, we studied 175 breast cancer risk variants confirmed by genome‐wide association studies and gathered the genes that lie near them.

A Murinized Bimagrumab Analogue Increases Skeletal Muscle Mass and Improves Cardiometabolic Remodelling in Experimental Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) involves left ventricular hypertrophy and metabolic dysfunction. Given the role of skeletal muscle in systemic metabolism, we investigated whether activin type II receptor inhibition with CDD866, a murinized bimagrumab analogue that induces skeletal muscle hypertrophy, improves physical performance ...
