Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Xiaoying Jian"
- Xiaoying Jian's recent research primarily focuses on the roles of ADP-ribosylation factors (Arfs) and their associated proteins in cellular processes such as membrane trafficking, cytoskeletal dynamics, and myogenic differentiation, particularly in cancer contexts like rhabdomyosarcoma and uveal melanoma.
- Jian's studies reveal intricate relationships between molecular interactions and cellular outcomes; for example, the identification of lipid flippase ATP8A1's role in recruiting ARF effectors to the trans-Golgi Network and the need for specific structural features in Arf1 for its GTPase-activating activity.
- Furthermore, the research explores broader biological implications, such as shifts in gut microbiota and dietary factors in canine obesity, and highlights the impact of surgical diets on post-operative recovery in young cats, indicating a diverse research portfolio beyond cancer biology.
