Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Qing-Zhang Li"
- Qing-Zhang Li's research primarily focuses on the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in milk production and mammary gland development in dairy cows and goats, utilizing methods such as real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry, and proteomic analysis.
- Key findings indicate the significant roles of proteins like integrin α6β4, SREBP1, FABP3, and Stat5a, which are implicated in regulating processes such as milk fat synthesis, cell proliferation, and response to cytokines in mammary epithelial cells.
- Additionally, the exploration of antibacterial peptides and microRNAs contributes to understanding mammary gland health and lactation, highlighting their potential roles in enhancing dairy production and managing mastitis-related issues in dairy animals.
