Activin A and activin B measured in maternal serum, cord blood serum and amniotic fluid during human pregnancy

open access: yes, 1993
Activin A (beta A-beta A) and activin B (beta B-beta B) are related dimeric proteins that regulate numerous cellular activities. Activin activity is bioneutralized by follistatin, a specific and high-affinity binding protein.

Sclerostin regulates bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) bioavailability through interactions with BMP complexes and fibrillin microfibrils

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Sclerostin (SOST) is a multifunctional extracellular modulator of BMP and Wnt signaling. SOST binds with high affinity to fibrillin‐1 and fibrillin‐2, localizing it to fibrillin microfibrils and regulating its extracellular bioavailability. Fibrillin‐bound SOST cannot engage BMP‐7 prodomain (PD) complexes, revealing a competitive mechanism that ...

Inhibin and activin in human fetal membranes: evidence for a local effect on prostaglandin release

open access: yes, 1993
Trophoblast and fetal membranes (amnion and chorion) are the tissues forming the anatomical/functional interface between the mother and the fetus. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the presence and a possible effect of inhibin and activin in ...

RLIM‐associated neurodevelopmental disorders: From clinical spectrum to molecular mechanisms

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
RLIM (RNF12) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase essential for mammalian development. Loss‐of‐function variants cause Tønne–Kalscheuer syndrome, while duplications cause Xq13 duplication syndrome, highlighting RLIM dosage sensitivity. This review summarizes the genetics, clinical features, and molecular mechanisms of RLIM‐associated disorders, integrating ...

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 ...

Molecular pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder: Focus on the fibroblast growth factor 23–Klotho axis and bone turnover dynamics

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD‐MBD) is a major complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), characterized by disruptions in mineral metabolism, abnormal bone turnover and vascular calcification, which collectively increase the risk of fractures and cardiovascular disease.

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

open access: yesExperimental 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.

Development of a specific activin antagonist for therapeutic applications

open access: yes
Activin is a key regulator of homeostasis in several organs and tissues, including ovaries, testes, liver and skin, and alterations in activin s activity can result in fibrosis, cachexia and cancer.
