Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ben-fu Yang"
- Ben-fu Yang's research primarily focuses on tuberculosis (TB), particularly its susceptibility factors, drug resistance, and the genetic components associated with the disease in the Chinese population.
- One significant study conducted by Yang examines the relationship between monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis, revealing insights into genetic risk factors.
- Furthermore, Yang has investigated the epidemiology and determinants of drug-resistant tuberculosis in rural areas of Jiangsu province, employing surveys and drug susceptibility testing to identify key factors influencing resistance patterns.
