Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Wonjin Woo"
- Wonjin Woo's recent research explores the impact of polystyrene microplastics on immune function, revealing that these microplastics induce activation and cell death in neutrophils through strong binding and engulfment mechanisms.
- His study on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) highlights the challenges of chemoresistance in treatment, emphasizing the need to identify and understand regulators that influence this resistance, particularly focusing on non-coding RNAs.
- Woo's findings contribute to a broader understanding of how environmental pollutants like microplastics can affect human health and the mechanisms behind the poor prognosis in liver cancer, fostering potential avenues for targeted therapies.
