Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Runwei Yang"
- Runwei Yang's recent research focuses on the interplay between alternative splicing and various biological processes, particularly in the context of neurodevelopment and glioblastoma, highlighting the significance of cell-type-specific splicing in developing brain structures and their implications for diseases like autism and cancer.
- His findings indicate that transcription regulators in the developing neocortex are enriched for differential splicing, with implications for neuronal splicing events, and that specific markers like calreticulin can serve as potential targets for enhanced cancer therapies.
- Further, Yang's work underscores the challenges in distinguishing true tumor progression from pseudoprogression in gliomas, revealing the importance of advanced imaging techniques and liquid biopsies for accurate treatment response assessments.
