Follistatin as potential therapeutic target in prostate cancer [PDF]

, 2013
Follistatin is a single-chain glycosylated protein whose primary function consists in binding and neutralizing some members of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily such as activin and bone morphogenic proteins.

Vascular health and exercise in females throughout the lifespan: Exploring puberty, pregnancy and menopause

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This narrative review highlights the impact of exercise on vascular health in females over the lifespan with an emphasis on puberty, pregnancy and menopause. These events encompass substantial changes in sex hormone levels, particularly oestrogens and progesterone.

Expression of factors involved in apoptosis and cell survival is correlated with enzymes synthesizing lysophosphatidic acid and its receptors in granulosa cells originating from different types of bovine ovarian follicles

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2017
Background Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) regulates reproductive processes in the cow. Ovarian granulosa cells play a pivotal role in follicle growth and development.

The therapeutic role of exercise training during menopause for reducing vascular disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Menopause marks a major milestone in female reproductive ageing. It is characterized by the cessation of ovarian function and a concomitant decline in hormones such as oestradiol. Subsequently, females undergoing menopausal transition experience a progressive increase in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease risk.

Dual signaling pathways of TGF-β superfamily cytokines in hepatocytes: balancing liver homeostasis and disease progression

Frontiers in Pharmacology
The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily (TGF-β-SF) comprises over 30 cytokines, including TGF-β, activins/inhibins, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), and growth differentiation factors (GDFs).

Clinical grade vitrification of human ovarian tissue for fertility preservation [PDF]

, 2013
Cryopreservation of human ovarian tissue is one approach to preserve fertility for women who can be predicted to undergo premature ovarian failure as a consequence of chemotherapy, radiotherapy or genetic disorders. It is the most suitable option for pre-

FGFR Like1 drives esophageal cancer progression via EMT, PI3K/Akt, and notch signalling: insights from clinical data and next‐generation sequencing analysis

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 979-999, May 2026.
Clinical analysis reveals significant dysregulation of FGFRL1 in esophageal cancer (EC) patients. RNAi‐coupled next‐generation sequencing (NGS) and in vitro study reveal FGFRL1‐mediated EC progression via EMT, PI3K/Akt, and Notch pathways. Functional assays confirm its role in tumor growth, migration, and invasion.

Systemic activation of activin A signaling causes chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder [PDF]

, 2018
The high cardiovascular mortality associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is caused in part by the CKD-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) syndrome.

Steroidogenic Factor 1 (SF1) Immunohistochemical Stain Is Sensitive and Specific for the Cytopathologic Identification of Intrapancreatic Ectopic Splenic Tissue

Diagnostic Cytopathology, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 327-331, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Accessory spleens result from failure of splenic fusion during development and are occasionally located in the pancreatic tail, radiographically appearing as solid or solid/cystic lesions. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) easily identifies accessory spleens in most samples based on architecture and using CD8 to highlight splenic ...

From “Passive Supplementation” to “Active Repair”: Melatonin Reshapes the Treatment Paradigm for Late‐Onset Hypogonadism by Targeting Leydig Cell Senescence

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2026.
Melatonin restores testosterone production in aging Leydig cells by targeting key pathological drivers, particularly oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. This approach offers a fundamental strategy to reshape the Late‐onset hypogonadism treatment paradigm.
