Researchers from Xiangya Hospital of Central South University published data from a study that explored potential treatment targets for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) by investigating the regulatory mechanisms of follistatin-like 1 (FSTL1), which has been shown to be implicated in a variety of cancers.
A Sino-U.S. study has shown that the increased expression of the small secreted glycoprotein follistatin-like 1 is critical in the pathogenesis of multiple fibrotic and systemic autoimmune diseases, the authors reported in the January 6, 2021, print edition of MolecularTherapy after earlier publication online.
