Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Tairan Xu"
- Tairan Xu's research primarily focuses on the mechanisms of cell development and aging in porcine oocytes and embryos, emphasizing the roles of autophagy, epigenetic modifications, and pluripotency factors like BRG1.
- Recent studies demonstrate that ATG4C is crucial for early embryonic development, while the overexpression of BRG1 enhances the viability and developmental potential of somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos and increases pluripotency in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
- Xu's investigations also explore the effects of compounds like Epifriedelanol on oocyte aging and the differences between symmetrical and asymmetrical cleavage in early embryos, identifying key genes and pathways that influence developmental outcomes.
