Amyloid precursor protein at node of Ranvier modulates nodal formation [PDF]
Amyloid precursor protein (APP), commonly associated with Alzheimer disease, is upregulated and distributes evenly along the injured axons, and therefore, also known as a marker of demyelinating axonal injury and axonal degeneration. However, the physiological distribution and function of APP along myelinated axons was unknown.

Nodal modulator (NOMO) is a force-bearing transmembrane protein required for muscle differentiation [PDF]
The ER relies on membrane-shaping proteins to maintain a continuous network of sheets and tubules that host distinct biological processes. How this intricate structure of the ER membrane system is maintained under conditions of mechanical strain is incompletely understood.

The effect of maternal NODAL on STOX1 expression in extravillous trophoblasts is mediated by IGF1. [PDF]
The number of molecules identified to be involved in communication between placenta and decidua is fast expanding. Previously, we showed that NODAL expressed in maternal endometrial stromal cells is able to affect NODAL and STOX1 expression in placental ...

Lefty Proteins Are Long-Range Inhibitors of Squint-Mediated Nodal Signaling [PDF]
The regulation of signaling pathways by feedback inhibitors has become an emerging theme in the control of pattern formation during development. Nodal and Lefty proteins belong to divergent subfamilies of the TGF-beta family. Nodal signals promote mesendoderm induction in vertebrates, and Lefty proteins antagonize it.

Nodal promotes invasive phenotypes via a mitogen-activated protein kinase-dependent pathway [PDF]
The progression of cancer from localized to invasive disease is requisite for metastasis, and is often characterized by epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and alterations in cellular adhesion and migration. Studies have shown that this transition is associated with an upregulation of embryonic stem cell-associated genes, resulting in a ...

Embryonic morphogen nodal is associated with progression and poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Nodal, a TGF-β-related embryonic morphogen, is involved in multiple biologic processes. However, the expression of Nodal in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its correlation with tumor angiogenesis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and ...

The pro-domain of the zebrafish Nodal-related protein Cyclops regulates its signaling activities [PDF]
Nodal proteins are secreted signaling factors of the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family with essential roles in embryonic development in vertebrates. Mutations affecting the Nodal factors have severe consequences in mammals and fish. Furthermore, increased Nodal levels have been associated with melanoma tumor progression.
