Follistatin efficiently suppresses RhoA activation-promoted wound closure after activin B treatment.
Twenty six mice were randomly assigned to two groups: Act B+Follistatin (n = 13) and Follistatin (n = 13). Mice were administered follistatin (0.2 ml 10 ng/ml), thirty minutes after activin B (0.2 ml 10 ng/ml) was administrated, or not.

Role of Activin-A and Follistatin in Foam Cell Formation of THP-1 Macrophages
Macrophage (Mφ) foam cell formation is a characteristic event that occurs in the early stage of atherosclerosis. To examine the roles of activin-A, a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily, and follistatin, the binding protein for activin-

Differential expression of follistatin and FLRG in human breast proliferative disorders
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.
