Tankyrase inhibition demonstrates anti-fibrotic effects in preclinical pulmonary fibrosis models

Shoshy Alam Brinch, Ida Johnsen, Lena Willmer…·Jo Waaler

This study shows that the TNKS inhibitor OM-153 reduces fibrosis markers and ECM expression in multiple preclinical IPF models by inhibiting WNT/β-catenin and YAP signaling.

Legumain is a paracrine regulator of osteoblast differentiation and mediates the inhibitory effect of TGF-β1 on osteoblast maturation

Karl Martin Forbord, Ngoc Nguyen Lunde, Tatjana Bosnjak…·Abbas Jafari

This study identifies legumain as a paracrine factor mediating TGF-β1's inhibitory effect on osteoblast maturation through increased secretion and internalization.
