Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Xinyi Tong"
- Xinyi Tong's recent research focuses on innovative and sustainable strategies for biosynthesis and the prevention of kidney stones, particularly investigating the roles of polysaccharides and glycosyltransferases in mitigating cellular damage and enhancing the production of flavonoids.
- Key findings include the efficacious use of sulfated polysaccharides and corn silk polysaccharides that inhibit nano-COM crystal adhesion in renal cells, thereby reducing oxidative stress and the risk of kidney stone formation.
- Tong also explores metabolic engineering for the production of valuable compounds like dihydro-β-ionone, aiming to establish microbial systems that offer greener alternatives to traditional extraction methods in the flavor and fragrance industries.
