Brief description Activin is a key regulator of homeostasis in several organs and tissues, including ovaries, testes, liver and skin, and alterations in activin�s activity can result in fibrosis, cachexia and cancer. In this grant we propose to develop a specific activin antagonist by modifying the activin A propeptide. This novel reagent could be used to promote liver growth in severe hepatic disease and prevent fibrosis in numerous tissues.
