Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Handeng Liu"
- Handeng Liu's recent research centers on the intricate mechanisms of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), highlighting the roles of mesangial cell inflammation, specific metabolites like imidazole propionate, and molecular pathways such as NFκB signaling and calcium ion modulation, which contribute to kidney dysfunction and progression of the disease.
- Liu has investigated the influence of microbial metabolites on diabetes-related renal conditions, finding significant correlations between metabolites and kidney function biomarkers among diabetic nephropathy patients, thus suggesting potential therapeutic targets for managing kidney disease.
- In addition to kidney research, Liu has explored the neuroprotective effects of substances like sodium butyrate on Parkinson's disease, emphasizing the importance of gut microbiota and their metabolites in neurodegenerative processes, proposing insights into potential protective mechanisms via modulation of inflammatory pathways.
