Agrin binds to the nerve-muscle basal lamina via laminin [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Agrin is a heparan sulfate proteoglycan that is required for the formation and maintenance of neuromuscular junctions. During development, agrin is secreted from motor neurons to trigger the local aggregation of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) and other ...

Tukushi modulates Xnr2, FGF, and and BMP signalling: Regulation of Xenopus Germ Layer Formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
BACKGROUND: Cell-cell communication is essential in tissue patterning. In early amphibian development, mesoderm is formed in the blastula-stage embryo through inductive interactions in which vegetal cells act on overlying equatorial cells. Members of the

Neuronal induction and regional identity by co-culture of adherent human embryonic stem cells with chicken notochords and somites [PDF]

open access: yes
The role of somites and notochords in neuroectoderm differentiation from the embryonic ectoderm and its subsequent patterning into regional compartments along rostro-caudal and dorso-ventral axes, especially in humans, remains elusive.

Physiological Fluid Flow Moderates Fibroblast Responses to TGF-β1. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Fibroblasts are the major cellular component of connective tissue and experience mechanical perturbations due to matrix remodelling and interstitial fluid movement.

Paradigm Shifts In Neural Induction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The molecularization of developmental biology was originally seen as a challenge to the integrity of that discipline. However, important new insights from the analysis of gene expression soon transformed the field from one of experimental anatomy to one ...

A Narrative Review on the FSTL-1 Protein and its Current Known Impact in Cardiovascular Ischaemic Disease

open access: yesInternational Journal of Medical Students
Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and even though modern medicine has reduced considerably the number of deaths due to MI, patients still undergo serious cardiac issues that dramatically affects their well-being.

High circulating activin A level is associated with tumor progression and predicts poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Activin A (ActA)/follistatin (FST) signaling has been shown to be deregulated in different tumor types including lung adenocarcinoma (LADC). Here, we report that serum ActA protein levels are significantly elevated in LADC patients (n=64) as compared ...

Glycobiology of the olfactory system [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The olfactory system is a highly plastic region of the nervous system. Continuous remodeling of neuronal circuits in the olfactory bulb takes place throughout life as a result of constant turnover of primary sensory olfactory neurons in the periphery ...

Differing Effects of Younger and Older Human Plasma on C2C12 Myocytes in Vitro [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Ageing is associated with a general reduction of physiological function and a reduction of muscle mass and strength. Endocrine factors such as myostatin, activin A, growth and differentiation factor 11 (GDF-11) and their inhibitory peptides influence ...
