November 2016 in “Journal of Dental Research” This review explores the role of Panx3 in skeletal formation and discusses its potential in developing new therapies for conditions like osteoarthritis, without presenting new clinical findings.
November 2024 in “Experimental Dermatology” In this pilot study, researchers isolated skin-derived precursor-like cells from human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived skin organoids, revealing their potential for future hair regenerative applications by exhibiting self-renewal and key marker expression.
