June 2025 in “OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)” This study found that anti-Ku-positive patients exhibit heterogeneous muscle features, primarily showing a myositis pattern with necrotizing fibers and vacuolar changes, and suggests autophagy may play a significant role in their pathogenesis.
November 2024 in “BMC Research Notes” This study found that in men with androgenetic alopecia, the expression levels of genes SIRT3 and SIRT7 were reduced, while NFATC1 and PDL-1 were elevated, aligning with patterns seen in aging hair follicles, suggesting these genes' roles in AGA pathogenesis.
January 2024 in “Indian Journal of Pharmacy Practice” This study examined 142 patients with subclinical thyroid disorders and found a high incidence of comorbidities like renal diseases. Researchers reported that good medication adherence was associated with better quality of life, indicating a significant relationship between adherence and quality of life.
This study observed that Merkel cells and their associated somatosensory axons in mouse skin exhibit significant plasticity, remodeling dynamically to maintain homeostasis. Axonal branching patterns were notably influenced by Merkel cells, suggesting epithelial-neural interactions play a key role in axonal plasticity and patterning.
