Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Suk-Jeong Kim"
- Suk-Jeong Kim's recent research primarily focuses on the intersection of periodontal disease, cardiovascular health, and neuroinflammation, particularly the pathogenic roles of bacterial extracellular vesicles and their impact on systemic inflammation and neurological conditions
- A significant finding from the latest study reveals that extracellular vesicles derived from the periodontopathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans can cross the blood-brain barrier and contribute to neuroinflammation by promoting the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in the brain
- Other studies address the relationships between lipid profiles, HDL cholesterol levels, and socioeconomic factors, highlighting the correlation between low HDL levels and poverty, along with the beneficial effects of Cuban policosanol in managing blood pressure and improving lipid metabolism in various populations
