Effects of Renal and Hepatic Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics of Zilurgisertib
Aim Small‐molecule activin receptor‐like kinase‐2 inhibitor zilurgisertib (INCB000928) is under investigation in a pivotal trial for the treatment of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), an ultrarare genetic condition. This analysis assessed effects of renal and hepatic impairment on zilurgisertib pharmacokinetics.

Chronic myeloid leukemia cells require the bone morphogenic protein pathway for cell cycle progression and self-renewal [PDF]
Leukaemic stem cell (LSC) persistence remains a major obstacle to curing chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). The bone morphogenic protein (BMP) pathway is deregulated in CML, with altered expression and response to the BMP ligands shown to impact on LSC ...

Identification of novel genes regulating the development of the palate
Abstract Background The International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) has generated thousands of knockout mouse lines, many of which exhibit embryonic or perinatal lethality. Using micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT), the IMPC has created and publicly released three‐dimensional image data sets of embryos from these lethal and subviable lines.

The TGFβ type I receptor TGFβRI functions as an inhibitor of BMP signaling in cartilage. [PDF]
The type I TGFβ receptor TGFβRI (encoded by Tgfbr1) was ablated in cartilage. The resulting Tgfbr1 Col2 mice exhibited lethal chondrodysplasia. Similar defects were not seen in mice lacking the type II TGFβ receptor or SMADs 2 and 3, the intracellular ...

Activin Regulates A-Subunit and Activin Receptor Messenger Ribonucleic Acid and Cellular Proliferation in Activin-Responsive Testicular Tumor Cells [PDF]
Activin, a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily of growth and differentiation factors, has a number of actions in embryonic as well as adult tissues. These actions are mediated via a family of receptors containing two subtypes and at least two members of each subtype.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...
