Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Masayo Harada"
- Masayo Harada's research primarily focuses on the development and anatomy of the reproductive system and pelvic floor, particularly in murine models, elucidating mechanisms such as Müllerian duct growth and the role of FGF9 in sex development and bone formation.
- Recent findings include detailed studies on the morphological characteristics of the anal canal's longitudinal smooth muscles and the intricate connections of pelvic floor muscles, contributing to our understanding of their anatomical and functional significance.
- Harada's work also investigates genetic mutations affecting organ development, such as the MAFB mutation linked to Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, thereby revealing the complex interplay between genetics and anatomy in developmental disorders.
