The Nodal/Activin morphogens are secreted signaling molecules that form concentration gradients during early embryogenesis providing stem cells with positional information and differentiation instructions important for embryonic patterning. The molecular basis driving stem cell interpretation of sig...

Activin/Nodal signalling is necessary to maintain pluripotency of human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs) and to induce their differentiation towards endoderm. However, the mechanisms by which Activin/Nodal signalling achieves these opposite functions remain unclear. To unravel these mechanisms, we exami...

Human embryonic stem (hES) cells have the capacities to propagate for extended periods and to differentiate into cell types from all three germ layers both in vitro and in vivo. These characteristics of self-renewal and pluripotency enable hES cells having the potential to provide an unlimited suppl...

Gene expression profiling experiment to identify genes up and down regulated by the presence of Activin during pancreatic specification.

Human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESC) grown in chemically defined medium (CDM) supplemented with Activin and FGF were compared to hESCs grown for 48 hours in CDM supplemented with FGF2 and SB431542, an inhibitor of Activin/Nodal signalling. The objective of this experiment was to discover the identity o...

Inhibition of the myostatin signaling pathway is emerging as a promising therapeutic means to treat muscle wasting disorders. Activin type IIB receptor is the putative myostatin receptor, and a soluble activin receptor (ActRIIB-Fc) has been demonstrated to potently inhibit a subset of TGF-β family m...

Implantation of an embryo in the uterus is a multistep process tightly controlled by an intricate regulatory network of interconnected ovarian, uterine, and embryonic factors. Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) ligands and receptors are expressed in the pregnant uterus, and BMP2 has been shown to be a...

Members of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β superfamily play essential roles in the pluripotency, self-renewal, and differentiation of embryonic stem cells. While bone morphogenic proteins maintain pluripotency of undifferentiated mouse ES cells, the role of Activin/Nodal signaling is less cl...
ORGANISM(S): Mus musculus 
Activin signalling controls the pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) by inducing the formation of nuclear Smad2/3-Nanog complexes that bind to and regulate several downstream targets. We aimed to clarify the transcriptional dynamics to the inhibition of Activin in hPSCs. To this end we...

Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that play a major role in immunosurveillance against tumor initiation and metastasis spread. Signals and checkpoints that regulate NK cell fitness and function in the tumor microenvironment are not well defined. Transforming grow factor (TGF)- is a re...
