Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Aihong Mao"
- Aihong Mao's recent research primarily explores the intersection of microbiology, cancer biology, and therapeutic interventions, with a focus on quorum sensing, dietary ingredients, and the effects of radiation on cancer cells.
- Significant findings include the development of synthetic quorum-sensing agonists that enhance biofilm formation, which has implications for bioleaching applications, as well as the potential of dietary ingredients to offer radioprotection and radiosensitization against health risks related to radiation exposure.
- Additionally, studies on the role of microRNAs in enhancing radiosensitivity and regulating cellular responses highlight a critical avenue for improving treatment outcomes in malignancies such as prostate cancer and non-small-cell lung cancer.
