pubmed:abstractText |
Activins belong to the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily. Recent studies have shown that activin and its natural antagonist, follistatin, are involved in tissue repair and inflammatory processes. The aim of this study was to determine whether neutralization of activins with follistatin would have an in vivo anti-inflammatory effect in several murine models of colitis.
