Authors: Shou W, Woodruff TK, Matzuk MM
To understand gonadal tumor development, we have previously created a mouse model in which mice deficient in the inhibins develop gonadal sex cord-stromal tumors with essentially 100% penetrance. These tumors develop as early as 4 weeks of age…

The uterine myometrium is a target for increased levels of activin A during pregnancy
Endocrinology. 1997 Jul;138(7):3042-6
Authors: Draper LB, Chong H, Wang E, Woodruff TK
Abstract:
Activin A is a dimeric protein hormone that regulates numerous cellular functions. A clear physiological role for this molecule in pregnancy is suggested by previous studies in the human, wherein activin A rises…
