Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sherry Weng"
Sherry Weng's research primarily focuses on the mechanisms linking vitamin D deficiency and cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly through experimental studies using mouse models to explore diet-induced hypertension and atherosclerosis.
Notable findings highlight the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in macrophage differentiation and its impact on cholesterol deposition, emphasizing macrophages' importance in atherosclerosis progression.
Weng's work also investigates various molecular pathways, such as respiratory uncoupling and the effects of glucocorticoids on hypertension and diabetes, contributing to a better understanding of vascular diseases and potential therapeutic targets.
