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

مجلة 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.

The Role of TGFβ Signaling in Squamous Cell Cancer: Lessons from Mouse Models

Journal of Skin Cancer, 2012
TGFβ1 is a member of a large growth factor family including activins/inhibins and bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) that have a potent growth regulatory and immunomodulatory functions in normal skin homeostasis, regulation of epidermal stem cells ...

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 ...

Hypoxia and hypercapnia elicit overlapping but distinct skeletal muscle toxicities

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Hypoxia and hypercapnia cause overlapping skeletal muscle phenotypes, including atrophy, change in myofibre metabolic profile and myogenic response to injury. Both signals operate via distinct cellular pathways. Abstract Skeletal muscle dysfunction is strongly associated with elevated mortality in acute and chronic pulmonary ...

NSAID ingestion augments training‐induced muscle hypertrophy and differentially affects muscle mRNA expression, but not strength gains, in trained men

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the impact of NSAID ingestion on resistance exercise training‐induced changes in muscle morphology, function and gene networks relative to placebo ingestion in trained males. Abstract Non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely overused in sports.

A review of xenobiotic membrane transporter expression within the human placenta: Lessons gained from primary tissue and in vitro methodologies

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A summary of the current knowledge around membrane transporter expression in the most widely used in vitro models of human trophoblasts, including primary placental tissue, cancer cell lines and trophoblast stem cells, as well as the techniques to attempt to mimic the human placenta in vivo.

Secretome and Pathway Analysis of Stress Induced Disc Degeneration In Vitro

JOR 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.

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

The 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

Dynamics of the Mammalian Placental Metabolome in Placentogenesis and Embryonic Development

Advanced 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 ...
