January 2023 in “International Journal of Biological Sciences” This study suggests that CTHRC1, a protein expressed in cardiac fibroblasts, may improve wound repair and prevent cardiac rupture after myocardial infarction by activating a specific signaling pathway.
July 2026 in “Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology” This study found that induced pluripotent stem cells derived from human keratinocytes efficiently differentiated into cardiomyocytes, forming a homogeneous population with cardiac-specific molecular and functional properties, and demonstrated significant cardiac marker expression and spontaneous contraction capabilities over 15 days of differentiation induction.

October 2021 in “Journal of Clinical Medicine” This study found that individuals with heterozygous truncation-type variants in the *DSP* gene exhibit lower skin temperature and higher transepidermal water loss, with specific microscopic skin changes and pseudomonilethrix.
