February 2023 in “Scientific Reports” Cold Atmospheric Microwave Plasma (CAMP) helps hair cells grow and could potentially treat hair loss.
September 2025 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” The study explores the role of TAZ in the adipogenesis of goat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (gADSCs), finding that TAZ overexpression promotes adipogenesis by enhancing the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. TAZ overexpression increases lipid accumulation and the expression of adipogenic markers like PPARγ, CEBPα, and FABP4, while its knockdown inhibits these processes. The study also highlights TAZ's influence on the nuclear-cytoplasmic translocation of itself and YAP, suggesting a mechanism for regulating adipogenesis. These findings offer insights into the molecular mechanisms of adipogenic differentiation in ADSCs, potentially informing strategies for adipose tissue regeneration.
