Cloning of follistatin-related protein as a novel autoantigen in systemic rheumatic diseases [PDF]
International Immunology, 1998 In an attempt to identify autoantigens of synovium in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we constructed lambda phage expression cDNA libraries from synovium and screened them by IgG purified from synovial fluids, both of which were derived from RA patients.

The mechanical stimulation of myotubes counteracts the effects of tumor-derived factors through the modulation of the activin/follistatin ratio [PDF]
, 2019 Activin negatively affects muscle fibers and progenitor cells in aging (sarcopenia) and in chronic diseases characterized by severe muscle wasting (cachexia). High circulating activin levels predict poor survival in cancer patients. However, the relative

Follistatin Is a Novel Chemoattractant for Migration and Invasion of Placental Trophoblasts of Mice
Cells, 2022 Follistatin (FST) as a gonadal protein is central to the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. Trophoblasts’ migration and invasion into the endometrium are critical events in placental development.

Regulation of tissue crosstalk by skeletal muscle-derived myonectin and other myokines. [PDF]
, 2012 The integrated control of animal physiology requires intimate tissue crosstalk, a vital task mediated by circulating humoral factors. As one type of these factors, adipose tissue-derived adipokines have recently garnered attention as important regulators

Differential expression of follistatin and FLRG in human breast proliferative disorders
BMC Cancer, 2009 Background Activins are growth factors acting on cell growth and differentiation. Activins are expressed in high grade breast tumors and they display an antiproliferative effect inducing G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in breast cancer cell lines.

The role of exercise-induced myokines in promoting angiogenesis
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Ischemic diseases are a major cause of mortality or disability in the clinic. Surgical or medical treatment often has poor effect on patients with tissue and organ ischemia caused by diffuse stenoses.
