December 2018 in “Medical Science Monitor” This study suggests that the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway plays a role in the regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cycling in rat urethral plate fibroblasts affected by finasteride-induced hypospadias.
January 2024 in “PloS one” This study found that rat hair-follicle-associated pluripotent stem cells can be successfully differentiated into beating atrial and ventricular cardiomyocytes by using specific combinations of growth factors and inhibitors in culture, demonstrating their potential to form functional myocardial fibers similar to adult heart cells.
May 2026 in “Medical and Veterinary Entomology” This study found that the combination of L. sericata secretions and A. sintenisii extract significantly enhanced wound healing compared to each agent alone or Furacin®, suggesting a synergistic effect.
