Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Byung-Soo Youn"
- Byung-Soo Youn's research primarily focuses on the roles of gut-derived hormones and proteins, particularly clusterin and eNAMPT, in regulating feeding behavior, energy expenditure, and circadian rhythms, highlighting their endocrine functions within metabolic processes.
- Recent findings reveal that stomach clusterin serves as a gut-derived feeding regulator, with implications for understanding its peripheral effects and potential therapeutic targets for appetite regulation and obesity.
- Youn's investigations also delve into cellular mechanisms related to cancer and fibrosis, suggesting that small molecules can influence cellular senescence pathways to prevent tumorigenesis and fibrogenesis, contributing to the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
