Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Peifen Yang"
- Peifen Yang's research primarily focuses on the development and application of cell models for studying complex diseases like Alzheimer's, specifically through the use of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from patient samples.
- In a key study published in 2020, Yang established a human iPSC model from a sporadic Alzheimer's disease patient using peripheral blood mononuclear cells, contributing valuable insights into the disease's etiology and potential therapeutic strategies.
- Additionally, Yang's earlier work in 2007 involved enhancing cellulose production in Acetobacter xylinum by expressing vitreoscilla hemoglobin, demonstrating a significant advancement in biotechnological applications and microbial growth enhancement.
