Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Aki Murashima"
- Recent research by Aki Murashima focuses on developmental biology and toxicology, particularly examining the intricate mechanisms involved in embryonic and reproductive system formation across various species, including humans and mice.
- Findings highlight critical aspects such as the role of Wnt and androgen signaling in the masculinization process and reproductive tract development, while also investigating the potential teratogenic effects of traditional medicinal plants like Decalobanthus peltatus.
- Murashima's work seeks to bridge gaps in understanding congenital anomalies, particularly those related to cloacal development and sexual dimorphism, contributing to potential therapeutic strategies for reproductive health and developmental disorders.
