Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Kai-Ting Yang"
Kai-Ting Yang's research focuses on the role of immune cells, particularly fibroblasts and macrophages, in inflammation and tissue regeneration, with implications for chronic diseases such as arthritis and Q fever.
Recent findings demonstrate that fibroblasts exhibit changing roles during the resolution phase of inflammation, using novel in vivo imaging techniques to track their activation.
The studies also reveal mechanisms by which macrophages utilize the ACOD1-itaconate pathway to contain infections, and explore the impact of PTEN regulation on pancreatic beta cell proliferation and regeneration as it relates to aging and diabetes.
