Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ai-Wu Mao"
- Ai-Wu Mao's research predominantly focuses on cancer treatment methodologies, particularly involving the use of stents for palliative care in patients with esophageal, biliary, and pancreatic cancers, exploring their efficacy and complications.
- Recent studies by Mao have highlighted the potential benefits of 125 iodine seed-loaded stents in comparison to conventional stents, demonstrating longer survival rates and reduced complications for esophageal cancer patients.
- Furthermore, Mao's investigations into microRNA roles—such as miR-4262 and miR-29a—in cancer cell apoptosis and proliferation provide insights into molecular mechanisms underlying tumor development, particularly in colon and pancreatic cancers, indicating new avenues for targeted therapies.
