Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sum-Yee Leung"
- Sum-Yee Leung's recent research emphasizes the environmental and biological factors influencing asthma and tuberculosis, demonstrating that chemical exposures, such as phthalates and PAHs, have significant roles in asthma exacerbation and phenotypic clustering.
- The studies explore the complex interactions between microRNAs and immune responses, highlighting specific microRNAs that regulate immune functions in tuberculosis, which shows promise for RNA-based therapeutic interventions.
- Leung's work also includes the use of advanced genomic techniques to identify epigenetic changes associated with diseases like active pulmonary tuberculosis, aiming to uncover novel biomarkers for better understanding and treatment of these conditions.
