Physiological roles of activins in the human ovary
Journal of Bio-X Research, 2018 . Initially discovered in the pituitary as stimulators of follicle stimulating hormone, activins are homo- or heterodimers of inhibin subunits, which belong to the transforming growth factor-β superfamily.

Disruption of the mouse MRF4 gene identifies multiple waves of myogenesis in the myotome [PDF]
, 1995 MRF4 (herculin/Myf-6) is one of the four member MyoD family of transcription factors identified by their ability to enforce skeletal muscle differentiation upon a wide variety of nonmuscle cell types.

Lifelong exercise, but not short-term high-intensity interval training, increases GDF11, a marker of successful aging: a preliminary investigation [PDF]
, 2017 Lifelong exercise is associated with regulation of skeletal mass and function, reductions in frailty, and successful aging. Yet, the influence of exercise on myostatin and myostatin-interacting factors is relatively under examined in older males ...

Unravelling the Genetic Mechanisms of Litter Traits in a Maternal Line of Pigs
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reproductive traits related to litter size are the main indicators of reproductive efficiency in pig production and are continuously evaluated for the selection of maternal lines. Several environmental and genetic factors are involved with the development of these traits.

Photochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 338-349, March/April 2025.In the present work with mouse models, we demonstrate that a novel compound, NEO400, is able to profoundly protect skin against damage caused by UV radiation (UVR) when it is applied to skin post‐UVR exposure. In comparison, Aloe vera or linoleic acid are unable to achieve a similar level of protection.

cDNA that encodes active agrin [PDF]
, 1992 Agrin is thought to mediate the motor neuron-induced aggregation of AChRs and AChE on the surface of muscle fibers at neuromuscular junctions. We have isolated a cDNA from a chick brain library that, based on sequence homology and expression experiments,

Potential preventive effects of follistatin-related protein/TSC-36 on joint destruction and antagonistic modulation of its autoantibodies in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
International Immunology, 2003 We previously reported that follistatin-related protein (FRP)/TSC-36 was one of the target antigens of autoantibodies in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and that the appearance of serum autoantibodies to FRP correlated to disease activity in RA. However, the significance of FRP in autoimmunity remained to be explained due to the unknown function of FRP. Here,

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, 9 February 2026.FSTL1 promotes glycolysis during chondrocyte fibrosis by triggering the HIF‐1 signaling pathway, which causes lactate to accumulate. The buildup of lactate leads to changes in histone lysine lactylation, which in turn enhances the expression of genes associated with fibrosis.

DIP2 disco‐interacting protein 2 homolog A (Drosophila) is a candidate receptor for follistatin‐related protein/follistatin‐like 1 – analysis of their binding with TGF‐β superfamily proteins [PDF]
The FEBS Journal, 2010 Follistatin‐related protein (FRP)/follistatin‐like 1 (FSTL1) is a member of the follistatin protein family, all of which share a characteristic structure unit found in follistatin, called the FS domain. Developmental studies have suggested that FRP regulates organ tissue formation in embryos.
