Hepatocyte growth factor/c‐Met signaling axis in human diseases: Mechanistic insights and therapeutic potential

Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, Volume 20, Issue 2, June 2026.
Figure 1 visually summarizes the core biological functions and therapeutic potential of the HGF/c‐Met signaling axis. Abstract Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a multifunctional cytokine that activates the tyrosine kinase activity of its specific receptor, c‐Met (mesenchymal–epithelial transition factor).

Climate Change and Hydropower Impacts on Habitat Suitability of Endangered Schizothoracinae Fishes in the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
FA and Bio11 are key factors impacting Schizothorax species’ habitats. The Saga, Angren, and Miling counties were suitable areas considering hydropower. Schizothorax species will increase upriver and lose lower habitats in the future. Schizothorax species were exhibited an upstream movement trend in the future.

The influence of pituitary volume on the growth response in growth hormone-treated children with growth hormone deficiency or idiopathic short stature [PDF]

Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism
Purpose Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used for assessing the morphology of the pituitary gland in children with short stature. The purposes of this study were: (1) to determine if pituitary volume (PV) can distinguish patients with growth ...

Marfan syndrome and pituitary dwarfism [PDF]

Japanese Journal of Human Genetics, 1981
A very rare case with Marfan syndrome born from his mother with Marfan syndrome and his father with pituitary dwarfism (type I) was described. In the maternal families the consanguinity and Marfan syndrome were present. In the paternal families the consanguinity and dwarfism were present.

Nonapeptide cell size differs between male morphs of the West African cichlid, Pelvicachromis pulcher

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 5, Page 1483-1490, May 2026.
Abstract Alternative male morphs are found in many species of fishes. These morphs often differ in suites of social behaviours, such as aggression and territoriality, associated with alternative reproductive tactics. Such consistent morph‐typical behavioural profiles suggest common differences in underlying neuroendocrine mechanisms.

Pituitary function in 8 patients with familial pituitary dwarfism

Pediatric Research, 1978
Pituitary function was evaluated in four pairs of familial pituitary dwarfs (two sisters, 28 and 20 years old, two brothers 15 and 10 years old, one girl 19 years old and her brother 7 years old, and one girl 9 years old and her brother 3 6/12 years old), who all proved to have multiple pituitary hormone deficiency (MPHD), in order to find out whether ...

Epigenetic mechanisms and therapeutic innovations in chronic pain‐associated neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 7, Page 1313-1340, April 2026.
Abstract Chronic pain, marked by nociceptive sensitization and maladaptive neuroplasticity, affects 30% of the global population with escalating socioeconomic burdens. Epidemiological data show a 2‐3‐fold increase in neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities among individuals with chronic pain, where epigenetic dysregulation serves as a key mechanism linking ...

Metabolic and hemodynamic effects of the growth hormone system — insulin-like growth factor

Терапевтический архив, 2015
Significant congenital deficiency of growth factor (GF) results in pituitary nanism (dwarfism) and its substantial excess is accompanied by the development of gigantism or acromegaly.

Integrating Molt Migration Into Physiological Assessments of Inter‐Population Stress in a Globally Endangered Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Feather corticosterone (fCORT) provides a powerful indicator of population‐level physiological responses to human disturbance, yet its interpretation is complicated by variation across taxa, habitats, and molt‐movement strategies. Using stable isotope analyses to account for molt migrants in the globally endangered Scaly‐sided Merganser (Mergus ...

Dwarfism in mice lacking collagen-binding integrins alpha 2 beta 1 and alpha 11 beta 1 is caused by severely diminished IGF-1 levels [PDF]

, 2017
Mice with a combined deficiency in the α2β1 and α11β1 integrins lack the major receptors for collagen I. These mutants are born with inconspicuous differences in size but develop dwarfism within the first 4 weeks of life. Dwarfism correlates with shorter,
