Image1_Profiling Activins and Follistatin in Colorectal Cancer According to Clinical Stage, Tumour Sidedness and Smad4 Status.JPEG

open access: yes, 2021
This study explored the roles of activins and follistatin in colorectal cancers. Paired malignant and normal colonic tissues were collected from archived paraffin-embedded (n = 90 patients) alongside fresh (n = 40 patients) specimen cohorts.

Inhibin βB Mediates Oligotrophic Adaptation via Regulating Muscle Satellite Cell Proliferation and Differentiation in Schizopygopsis younghusbandi

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
① Nutrient deficiency upregulates inhibin βB, activating SMAD signaling to promote p21. Increased p21 inhibits mcm2/mcm4/mcm5 and cyclin E2, inducing G1‐phase arrest, slowing growth, and reducing energy consumption. ② Inhibin βB also upregulates pdgf‐c, which induces α‐SMA, leading to muscle satellite cell fibrosis.

Review Article Activins and Follistatin in Chronic Hepatitis C and Its Treatment with Pegylated-Interferon-Based Therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Pegylated-interferon-based therapy for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is considered suboptimal as not all patients respond to the treatment and it is associated with several side effects that could lead to dose reduction and/or termination of

Distinct Gene Expression Profiles of Ara h 2‐Specific B Cells in Desensitization and Tolerance During Peanut Oral Immunotherapy

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Gene expression of Ara h 2‐specific B cells over the course of the peanut OIT. Isotype of allergen‐specific B cells changes through OIT towards IgG4. Peanut OIT changes the gene expression of allergen‐specific memory B cells. OIT patients showed increased gene expression for regulatory B cells and immune regulation.

The role of activins during decidualisation of human endometrium

open access: yes, 2006
Decidualisation of the endometrial stroma is critical to create a specialised environment for embryo implantation and trophoblast invasion; however, the mechanisms involved are poorly understood.

T Cell Microenvironmental Impacts and Therapeutic Opportunities: Application to Human Testicular Germ Cell Tumors

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the leading malignancy in adolescent and young adult males, yet the immunological and cellular mechanisms governing their tumor microenvironment (TME) remain poorly understood. Here, we present a comprehensive review of TGCT pathobiology with a focus on the immune landscape, particularly the role of tumor‐

Physiology of activins/follistatins: associations with metabolic and anthropometric variables and response to exercise

open access: yes, 2018
Context: Clinical trials are evaluating the efficacy of inhibitors of the myostatin pathway in neuromuscular and metabolic diseases. Activins and follistatins are major regulators of the myostatin pathway, but their physiology in relation to metabolic ...

A comprehensive review of cancer‐induced cardiac wasting

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer is frequently accompanied by cachexia, a systemic syndrome characterized by progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, with or without loss of fat mass. Increasing evidence indicates that cancer can also induce cardiac muscle wasting, which is associated with structural cardiac remodelling, impaired contractile function and the development of ...

Association of Activin A Levels and Body Mass Index with Human CGB (Chorionic Gonadotrophin Beta) in Ectopic Pregnancies and Missed Abortion Patients

open access: yesمجلة كلية الطب
Background: An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants itself—typically in one of the fallopian tubes—outside of the womb. Connecting the ovaries to the womb are tubes called fallopian tubes.
