Secretome and Pathway Analysis of Stress Induced Disc Degeneration In Vitro

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Integrated secretome and phosphoprotein profiling of human nucleus pulposus cells revealed that IL‐1β and TLR2/6 activation induce a shared degenerative program, defined by consistent upregulation of IL‐6, IL‐8, GRO‐α, ICAM‐1, and MMP‐7 and convergence on NF‐κB/AP‐1 signaling.

Xwnt-5A: a maternal Wnt that affects morphogenetic movements after overexpression in embryos of Xenopus laevis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
To contribute to an understanding of the roles and mechanisms of action of Wnts in early vertebrate development, we have characterized the normal expression of Xenopus laevis Wnt-5A, and investigated the consequences of misexpression of this putative ...

Molecular Engineering of the Helminth TGF‐β Mimetics, TGM1 and TGM4, Reveals a Novel Antagonist of TGF‐β Signaling in Fibroblasts

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 7, 15 April 2026.
The helminth TGF‐β mimic TGM4 activates SMAD signaling in macrophages and T cells through canonical TGF‐β receptors and the CD44 co‐receptor, through Domains 1–5 (D1‐5). In fibroblasts, which express lower levels of CD44, TGM4 binds but does not transduce a signal; furthermore, it inhibits activation by agonist ligands such as TGF‐β itself, in a manner

Activin signaling is an essential component of the TGF-β induced pro-metastatic phenotype in colorectal cancer

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a critical health care challenge worldwide. Various TGF-β superfamily members are important in colorectal cancer metastasis, but their signaling effects and predictive value have only been assessed in isolation ...

Dynamics of the Mammalian Placental Metabolome in Placentogenesis and Embryonic Development

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
This study identifies three metabolic stages (E8.5, E9.5–10.5, E11.5–14.5) and two transition periods (E8.5–9.5, E10.5–11.5) in mouse placental development. NAD(H) emerges as a key dynamic metabolite that enhances embryonic growth through accelerated segmentation and increased proliferation of mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC)‐induced presomitic ...

The Mediating Effect of Inflammatory Biomarkers in the Associations Between Sarcoidosis and Incident Ischemic Stroke: A Prospective Cohort Study

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Can invasive suckermouth catfish, Hypostomus plecostomus, be used as fishmeal? A potential solution to eradicate it from the Buriganga River, Bangladesh ABSTRACT Background and objective: Sarcoidosis, characterized by granulomatous inflammation across multiple systems, has an unclear connection with ischemic stroke and shared molecular pathways.

Activin promotes skin carcinogenesis by attraction and reprogramming of macrophages

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2016
Activin has emerged as an important player in different types of cancer, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. We show here that activin overexpression is an early event in murine and human skin tumorigenesis. This is functionally important,

Adventitial Niches, Complement and Inflammation in Pulmonary Vascular Disease: Current Status and Future Directions

open access: yesComprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.
Local complement production by pulmonary artery adventitial fibroblasts, activated intracellularly by CFD and CFB and extracellularly by GZMK+ CD8 T cells, and its secretion in soluble form and within EVs promotes macrophage and T cell chemotaxis and activation.

The Importance of Liver‐Lung Communication in Pulmonary Vascular Diseases

open access: yesComprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.
Schematic depicting the key drivers of liver‐lung communication in pulmonary vascular diseases, including hepatic dysfunction, portosystemic shunting, and gut microbial dysbiosis, which together drive pulmonary vascular remodeling. ABSTRACT In normal health, the liver and lungs enjoy a close anatomic, physiologic, and functional relationship.

Activin A: its role and involvement in inflammatory diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Activin proteins are members of the transforming growth factor-β family. Activin A is involved in several biological responses including wound repair, cell death, proliferation and differentiation of many cell types.
