Activin and TGF-β signaling: Differential role of a Serine/Threonine phosphate in the regulation of SMAD2 activity
Activins are the most prominent members of the Activin/Inhibin branch of the TGF-β superfamily. Similar to TGF-β, they play an essential role in regulating multiple physiological processes such as development, reproductive ... -
Ageing associated altered host response to bacterial infection
Chapters in which I have elucidated and elaborately described how senescence alters the cellular response to infection, here I demonstrate how senescence in multiple tissues simultaneously contribute to pathogen spread and ... -
Effects of Steroid Hormones on Insulin Sensitivity and Lipogenesis: An Insight into the Involvement of the Wnt Signaling Pathway
The shift in maternal energy metabolism characteristic of pregnancy is thought to be driven by various hormonal changes, especially of ovarian and placental steroids. In this context, the effect of estradiol (E2), progesterone ... -
Role of Lysyl oxidase in TGF-beta-induced Fibroblast Activation and Cancer-Associated Fibroblast-mediated Breast Cancer Progression
Cancer-associated Fibroblasts (CAFs) are a dominant cell type of the breast cancer microenvironment and are proposed to be involved in metastatic progression. TGF-β has been reported to influence fibroblast to myofibroblast ... -
Roles of Drosophila Beadex and CG9650 in the development and functioning of the larval neuromuscular junctions
In eukaryotes, all voluntary and involuntary actions like, cognition, learning & memory, voluntary movements, feeding, etc., are coordinated by the employment of neuronal circuitry that transmits the signal from the ... -
Understanding the role of hydrogen sulfide in regulating redox homeostasis and inflammation during cellular senescence
Aging involves the time-dependent deterioration of physiological functions, which can be attributed to various factors. Cellular senescence has been shown to be akin to aging, which involves alteration in redox homeostasis ...
