Expression of Follistatin-Related Genes Is Altered in Heart Failure
10 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Follistatins play roles in diverse biological processes including cell proliferation, wound healing, inflammation, and skeletal muscle growth, yet their role in the heart is currently unknown. We have investigated the myocardial expression profile and cellular distribution of follistatin (FST) and the FST-like genes FSTL1 and FSTL3 in the normal and failing heart. Expression was further analyzed in the novel...
