Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Riu Liu"
- Riu Liu's recent research emphasizes the investigation of neuroinflammatory mechanisms and potential therapeutic interventions, specifically highlighting the role of 4-octyl itaconate in inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammatory pathway in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD).
- Liu also explores the neuroprotective effects of exogenous nucleotides on neuronal metabolism and function, particularly under neurodegenerative conditions, which underscores the importance of these nutrients for brain health.
- In addition to neurobiology, Liu's work spans mesoscale simulations of fluid dynamics and the effects of insulin signaling on pluripotent stem cells, indicating a diverse research portfolio that includes both biomedical and biophysical studies.
