Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Tingyan Hu"
- Tingyan Hu's recent research primarily focuses on the role of dermal papilla cells (DPCs) in sheep, investigating their proliferation, signaling pathways, and influence on hair follicle development.
- Significant findings include the identification of key genetic factors, such as CRABP1 and specific miRNAs like miR-143, that enhance DPC proliferation and potentially regulate hair follicle characteristics in Hu sheep.
- In addition, Hu has explored the effects of external factors such as melatonin on DPC behavior, as well as broader physiological responses to pathogens like enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) and the potential therapeutic benefits of compounds like quercetin on renal health.
