• Activins as Dual Specificity TGF-β Family Molecules: SMAD-Activation via Activin- and BMP-Type 1 Receptors 

      Olsen, Oddrun Elise; Hella, Hanne; Elsaadi, Samah; Jacobi, Carsten; Martinez-Hackert, Erik; Holien, Toril (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Activins belong to the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β family of multifunctional cytokines and signal via the activin receptors ALK4 or ALK7 to activate the SMAD2/3 pathway. In some cases, activins also signal via the ...
    • Generation of a Mouse Model Lacking the Non-Homologous End-Joining Factor Mri/Cyren 

      Castaneda Zegarra, Sergio Miguel; Huse, Camilla; Røsand, Øystein; Sarno, Antonio; Xing, Mengtan; Zhang, Qindong; Alirezaylavasani, Amin; Werner, Julia; Ji, Ping; Liabakk, Nina-Beate; Wang, Wei; Bjørås, Magnar; Oksenych, Valentyn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Classical non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is a molecular pathway that detects, processes, and ligates DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) throughout the cell cycle. Mutations in several NHEJ genes result in neurological ...
