Reduced activin A levels impair urogenital system development and compromise female mouse fertility

 Published on 03/04/2026 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Eliza Winek et al. | Molecular Human Reproduction. Volume 32(1).

Activin A, encoded by the Inhba gene, is a versatile protein crucial for numerous biological processes, and its dysregulation is implicated in various human disorders. However, the perinatal lethality of Inhba knockout mice restricts the delineation of the full extent of this protein's function in the...

Safety profile of enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab in locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma: a multicenter Japanese cohort study
