Maternal Inhibin A and Activin A Levels as Markers of a Viable Trophoblast in Incomplete and Complete Miscarriage

Medical Journal of Babylon
Background: From early gestation the human trophoblast secretes large amounts of inhibin A and activin A, and their measurement provides a value for predicting the outcome in women who become pregnant after assisted reproductive techniques.

Lifestyle modification in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, phenotypes and ablation outcomes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare utilization. Catheter ablation is increasingly used as a rhythm‐control intervention for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent AF, yet recurrence rates remain suboptimal.

Activin-A BAL levels and Immunochemistry for activin A receptors in patients with asthma

5.2 Monitoring Airway Disease, 2015
Introduction: Activin A is implicated in the remodeling processes. It exerts its biological effects though activation of transmembrane serine/threonine kinase receptors. Aim: To investigate both Activin A BAL levels and receptors9 staining and to determine whether any upregulated expression is implicated in the remodeling processes.

Activins and activin receptors in the rat testis [PDF]

, 1994
Inhibin and activin are gonadal protein hormones, which were originally defined by their negative and positive feedback action on the release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland.

Senolytics and exercise: Dual modalities for rejuvenating muscle

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The role of senolytics on the heart and skeletal muscle. Senescent cell burden increases with ageing, disuse and disease. The senolytics dasatinib+quercetin (D+Q), navitoclax and fisetin, as well as exercise, eliminate senescent cells, reducing senescent cell burden and their senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP ...

Endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in the fetoplacental macrovasculature and microvasculature in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β2 and interleukin (IL)‐1β induced morphological and molecular changes consistent with endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in HUVECs isolated from both pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes (GDM) and non‐GDM pregnancies.

Functional Analysis of Mature Activin A Produced by Enterokinase in Plant Cells

Rice
Molecular farming for producing biopharmaceuticals in plants is considered an excellent method to replace some of the production methods currently used, and a significant number of recombinant proteins have already shown the potential to facilitate this.

Challenges and possible clinical applications of human embryonic stem cell research [PDF]

, 2012
Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) are harvested from the inner cell mass of the pre-implantation embryo and possess several unique characteristics. First, they are self-renewing, meaning they can grow indefinitely in an appropriate culture environment ...

Electromechanical modelling and simulation of human‐induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocytes predict drug‐induced contractility effects

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A study described in this paper describes a new tool for hiPSC‐CM electromechanical behaviour simulations using mathematical modelling. The model enables in silico assays making drug testing quick, comprehensive and accurate. New hiPSC‐CM models can be used as a platform to integrate in vitro and in silico findings.

Computational modelling of cardiac fibroblast signalling reveals a key role for Ca2+ in driving atrial fibrillation‐associated fibrosis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A pre‐existing fibroblast signalling model was enhanced by integrating atrial‐specific components and reactions linked to atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation (AF). The analysis highlights the central role of Ca2⁺ signalling in driving profibrotic responses to AF‐relevant stimuli, angiotensin‐II and transforming growth factor ...
