GDF8 Promotes the Cell Invasiveness in Human Trophoblasts by Upregulating the Expression of Follistatin-Like 3 Through the ALK5-SMAD2/3 Signaling Pathway

Growth differentiation factor 8 (GDF8) and its antagonist follistatin-like 3 (FSTL3) are expressed in the placenta during early pregnancy. These two factors may have a role to play in the regulation of normal placentation. However, whether GDF8 can regulate the expression of FSTL3 in human trophobla...
