Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Dickson Leung"
- Dickson Leung's recent research has focused on the role of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in restoring gut microbiota to treat conditions like recurrent Clostridium difficile infection and exploring its potential in inflammatory bowel disease and metabolic syndrome.
- His work on matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) highlights their significant influence on systemic metabolism, lipid metabolism, and inflammatory responses, indicating a complex interaction between these proteins and metabolic disorders.
- Leung's findings suggest a novel heart-liver axis regulated by MMP-2 that affects lipid metabolism and inflammation in the liver, further emphasizing the importance of these metalloproteinases in cardiovascular and metabolic health.
