The epithelial ovarian carcinomas, which make up more than 85% of human ovarian cancer,
arise in the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE). The etiology and early events in the�…

BACKGROUND:: The behavior of ovarian serous borderline tumors (SBTs) and significance
of various prognostic factors are unclear and difficult to evaluate because of inconsistencies�…

The aim of this review is to provide insight into the molecular mechanisms by which activin A
modulates cell proliferation, apoptosis, and carcinogenesis In vitro and In vivo. Activin A, a�…

Ovarian epithelial cancer (OEC) accounts for 90% of all ovarian cancers and is the leading
cause of death from gynecological cancers in North America and Europe. Despite its clinical�…

Inhibin and activin are members of the TGFβ superfamily of growth and differentiation
factors. They were first identified as gonadal-derived regulators of pituitary FSH and were�…

Different immunohistochemical sex cord-stromal markers have been previously studied in
various types of ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors; however, the sensitivity for sex cord�…

Introduction: The expression, mechanisms of regulation, and functional impact of INHBA
(activin A) in lung adenocarcinoma (AD) have not been fully elucidated. Methods: INHBA�…

Inhibin β A (INHBA) is a member of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) superfamily.
INHBA expression is associated with several types of human cancers; however, its�…

Objectives. The role of gonadotropins in ovarian epithelial cancer development is still
controversial. Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) status in ovarian epithelial�…

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Activins and inhibins are dimeric polypeptides that belong to the
transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily and that bind to transmembrane�…
