The insulin-like growth factor axis is a multifaceted, complex system that comprises two ligands, IGF-I and IGF-II, receptors (IGF-1R, IGF-IIR, insulin receptor isoforms IR-A and B, and hybrid receptors) six high affinity IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs 1-6), and IGFBP proteases [...].

Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is a mitogenic peptide hormone expressed by various tissues. Although it is three times more abundant in serum than IGF1, its physiological and pathological roles are yet to be fully understood. Previous transcriptome sequencing studies have shown that IGF2 expression is increased in hypertrophic scar (HS); however, its role in HS formation and the underlying mechanism remains elusive.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of limb regeneration in decapods can significantly enhance aquaculture production by improving survival and growth, as well as facilitating the development of lab-grown crustacean meat as a sustainable protein source. This review explores the molecular mechanisms of decapod limb regeneration, focusing on the key signaling pathways, genes, and proteins involved in this process. The initial stages of regeneration involve immune response and hemolymph coagulation, which are regulated via signaling pathways such as Toll, MAPK, IMD, and JAK/STAT.

Integrin αvβ3, a primary cell-adhesion receptor, plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including angiogenesis, pathological neovascularization, and tumor metastasis. Its expression increases during tumor angiogenesis. The insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) is a transmembrane protein that stimulates vital signaling pathways, promoting cancer cell growth, survival, and metabolism.

During avian germ cell formation, primordial germ cells (PGCs) differentiate into prospermatogonia in testicular seminiferous tubules or into oogonia in the ovarian cortex in late-stage embryos. Although estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been suggested to affect the differential fate of avian germ cells, there is currently no established method to examine the effects of EDCs on the differentiation potential of germline cells due to large amount of unidentified proteins present in avian germ cells. Regarding reliable molecular probes for the detection of germ cells that differentiated from the PGCs of Japanese quail, the prospermatogonium and oogonium, respectively, integrin beta1 (ITGB1), insulin-like growth factor 2-binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1), and stimulated by retinoic acid 8 (STRA8) were identified as marker proteins by RNA-seq and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analyses.
