Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Shi-jun Xu"
- Shi-Jun Xu's recent research primarily focuses on unraveling molecular mechanisms in cardiac health and disease, particularly cardiac hypertrophy and cardiomyocyte proliferation, highlighting the significance of posttranslational modifications and the roles of specific proteins like NAE1 and TMEM11 in these processes.
- The investigation of microRNAs in immune responses and tumor immunity, especially in T helper cell dynamics within the tumor microenvironment, underscores the importance of cellular communication in cancer progression and treatment response.
- Xu's work also includes clinical studies on innovative treatment combinations for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), exploring the efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization alongside targeted therapies and identifying serum biomarkers that predict treatment outcomes, thereby contributing to personalized medicine approaches in oncology.
