It is also essential for bone growth and metabolic regulation ( Furthermore, IGFBP-3 has garnered attention for its regulatory role in various cardiovascular conditions, particularly in influencing vascular remodeling, smooth muscle cell proliferation, and endothelial function ( Emerging evidence suggests that IGFBP-3 may also interact with other signaling molecules implicated in vascular remodeling, such as transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), both of which play pivotal roles in PAH ( 3.4 Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 4(IGFBP-4) IGFBP-4 is a key IGFBP family member that regulates IGF-1 and IGF-2 bioavailability while also influencing cell proliferation, differentiation, and tissue remodeling through IGF-independent mechanisms

The synergistic interaction of chemicals combined with natural stressors, such as pathogens, has been studied in aquatic organisms, such as Daphnia and Artemia 30, 35 , and, more recently, in the honey bee 36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43
