Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Chan Mao"
- Chan Mao's recent research primarily focuses on the interplay between human host responses and various pathogens, particularly highlighting the molecular mechanisms of infection and immune evasion in melioidosis caused by *Burkholderia pseudomallei*.
- Key findings include the identification of the unfolded protein response during early infection stages, the disruption of lipid metabolism via autophagy inhibition, and the role of Rab32 GTPase in phagosome maturation, illuminating potential therapeutic targets.
- Additionally, Mao's work extends to environmental health, specifically investigating the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in marine fish farming, emphasizing the urgent need to address antibiotic resistance as a public health crisis.
