Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Xiaokang Zeng"
- Xiaokang Zeng's research primarily focuses on the interaction between immune regulation and cancer, exploring how various factors such as melatonin, lactate, and MIF influence immune cell function and tumor behavior in different contexts, including aged mice and ovarian cancer.
- Recent studies suggest that melatonin can enhance natural killer (NK) cell function via the JAK3-STAT5 signaling pathway, potentially addressing age-related declines in immune response, while lactate appears to negatively regulate anti-tumor immunity by promoting STAT1 degradation in ovarian cancer cells.
- Zeng's work also includes investigating clinical approaches in critical care settings, such as the use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during acute myocardial infarction and its implications for patient outcomes, demonstrating a multidisciplinary approach to health challenges.
