May 2013 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Mutations in β1 integrins cause embryonic death but have milder effects on skin.
July 2026 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study, researchers found that the efflux of calcium in root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana, particularly through the ER-localized ACA2 and ACA7, is crucial for modulating cytoplasmic calcium signals and enabling proper root hair growth, with disruptions leading to impaired elongation.
June 2022 in “Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology” This case report describes a rare association where herpes zoster infection may have triggered the first attack of NMOSD with systemic vasculitis in a patient, suggesting potential overlaps in immunopathogenesis.
