Viruses, 2023 The activin–follistatin system regulates several cellular processes, including differentiation and tumorigenesis. We hypothesized that the immunostaining of βA-activin and follistatin varies in neoplastic cervical lesions.

Localization of follistatin in the rat testis [PDF]
Reproduction, 1998 Abstract The cellular localization of the activin-binding protein, follistatin, in the rat testis has been a matter of some controversy with different investigators claiming that Sertoli cells, Leydig cells or germ cells are the primary cell types containing this protein.

Tissue absence initiates regeneration through Follistatin-mediated inhibition of Activin signaling
eLife, 2013 Regeneration is widespread, but mechanisms that activate regeneration remain mysterious. Planarians are capable of whole-body regeneration and mount distinct molecular responses to wounds that result in tissue absence and those that do not.

Activins, follistatin and immunoregulation in the epididymis [PDF]
Andrology, 2019 AbstractBackgroundThe interface between the epididymis and the immune system is implicated in many male reproductive pathologies. The resident immune cell populations and immune‐environment within the epididymis are significantly different from the testis, which is an immune‐privileged site. Moreover, the immune cell subsets and immunological responses

Follistatin-Like Proteins: Structure, Functions and Biomedical Importance
Biomedicines, 2021 Main forms of cellular signal transmission are known to be autocrine and paracrine signaling. Several cells secrete messengers called autocrine or paracrine agents that can bind the corresponding receptors on the surface of the cells themselves or their ...

Cloning and analysis of promoter of Paralichthys olivaceus Follistatin gene
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2007 In order to study the tissue expression character of Follistatin gene in marine fish, the promoter of Paralichthys olivaceus Follistatin gene was isolated by PCR, and the sequence was analyzed; the function of Follistatin gene on the development of ...

Follistatin is induced by ionizing radiation and potentially predictive of radiosensitivity in radiation-induced fibrosis patient derived fibroblasts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Follistatin is a potent regulator of the inflammatory response and binds to and inhibits activin A action. Activin A is a member of the TGFβ protein superfamily which has regulatory roles in the inflammatory response and in the fibrotic process. Fibrosis
