September 2022 in “Medical Mycology” Three different methods were compared for creating Titan cells, a type of fungus cell. The OZ method made the most cells initially, but the number dropped quickly. The EB method also made a lot of cells, but the number also dropped. The AA method made fewer cells, but the number stayed steady. The methods also affected which genes were active in the cells.

June 2026 in “Springer Link (Chiba Institute of Technology)” The study investigates the evolutionary divergence of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) across species, focusing on their role in skin biology. By analyzing 22 FGF genes in Mus musculus and comparing them with those in rodents, primates, and birds, researchers found that while the FGF gene family is highly conserved, there are instances of gene loss in birds. Significant differences in skin expression between rodents and primates suggest links to evolutionary and environmental adaptations. The study also highlights the potential synergistic role of FGFs and Epidermal Growth Factors (EGFs) in wound healing, with EGFs being crucial in early stages. This research provides insights into the genetic architecture and functional diversification of FGFs in skin.
