Degradation of somatomedins by the thioredoxin system

, 1985
The insulin disulfide reducing thioredoxin system from rE.coli was used to investigate a possible mechanism of degradation for the two somatomedins, insulin-like growth factor I and II (IGF-I and -II).

Somatomedins/insulin-like growth factors, their receptors and binding proteins are present during mouse embryogenesis

, 1987
Somatomedins/insulin-like growth factors (Sm/IGFs) are considered to have important roles in regulating fetal growth; however, because of limited quantities of tissue, few studies have been performed on their effects on embryonic growth.

Intact pulse cotyledon cell diet improves systemic growth via the somatotropic axis in malnourished mice

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
The MAL‐IC diet promotes growth in malnourished mice by regulating the gut microbiota—increasing the abundance of carbohydrate‐utilizing bacteria and SCFAs production. SCFAs circulate to the liver via the gut–liver axis, where they bind FFAR2 and activate the somatotropic axis, thereby stimulating GHR‐mediated GH signaling and increasing IGF‐1 and ...

Correlation between sleep problems and morning serum melatonin and ferritin levels in Japanese 5‐year‐old children with autism spectrum disorder

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences Reports, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Aim Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more likely to have sleep problems. Few studies have investigated the relationship between sleep problems and blood melatonin and ferritin levels. The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between sleep problems and morning serum melatonin and ferritin levels, and the ...

SUSD2 Promotes Metastasis and Primary Tumor Growth in Pancreatic Cancer Cells via Integrin–FAK Signaling Activation

Cancer Science, Volume 117, Issue 3, Page 711-726, March 2026.
This study investigates the role of Sushi domain‐containing 2 (SUSD2) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and demonstrates that SUSD2 enhances both metastasis and primary tumor growth by promoting integrin β1–FAK signaling. SUSD2 interacts with integrin β1, enhancing adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen 1 and ...

Structural basis for uPAR binding to an antibody developed for targeted cancer therapy. Mechanistic insights into flexibility, ligand recognition, and molecular imaging

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The urokinase‐type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is currently gaining momentum as a promising molecular target for treatment of various solid cancers. For patient stratification, we developed a high‐affinity uPAR‐targeting peptide (AE105) detecting primary cancer lesions as well as occult metastasis by positron emission tomography (PET)

Differences in the Expression of Insulin‐Like Growth Factor Signaling Pathway Members in Patients With Psoriasis Vulgaris and Controls

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Insulin‐like growth factors (IGFs) and IGF–binding proteins (IGFBPs) regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, metabolic processes, and immune activities. Psoriasis is a systemic inflammatory disease with metabolic disorders as an important comorbidity in the pathogenesis of which members of the IGF family could also play a role.

Massive reduction of RyR1 in muscle spindles of mice carrying recessive Ryr1 mutations alters proprioception and causes scoliosis

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 603, Issue 22, Page 6949-6977, November 15, 2025.
Abstract figure legend Intrafusal muscles contained within muscle spindles are endowed with ryanodie receptor 1 (RyR1) calcium channels and participate in proprioceptor function. Mutations in RyR1 linked to severe RYR1‐congenital myopathies affect calcium release from both extrafusal as well as intrafusal muscles.

Bone turnover and mineral density in adult thalassemic patients: relationships with growth hormone secretory status and circulating somatomedins [PDF]

, 2016
Previous evidence supports a role for growth hormone (GH)–insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I deficiency in the pathophysiology of osteopenia/osteoporosis in adult thalassemia. Moreover, serum IGF-II has never been studied in this clinical condition. Thus,
