December 2020 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” The KDM1 gene helps Venus flytraps close by managing potassium ions.
November 2025 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Mesenchymal stiffness affects sweat gland cell development.
In this study, researchers observed that during zebrafish fin regeneration, osteoblast Erk activity, influenced by Fgf receptor signaling, forms gradients scaling with amputation length, which predicts regenerative tissue growth and skeletal structure size.
July 2026 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Tissue stiffness affects sweat gland development by guiding cell differentiation through specific signals.
January 2025 in “Nature Communications” This study discovered that calcium dependent protein kinase 1 (CPK1) directly activates cyclic nucleotide-gated channels 5, 6, and 9, promoting root hair growth in Arabidopsis by regulating Ca²⁺ signaling.
