Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ya-Jing Chang"
- Ya-Jing Chang's recent research primarily focuses on the molecular mechanisms influencing pre-eclampsia, particularly the role of circular RNAs in regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and trophoblast cell migration.
- In a significant study, Chang identified circTNRC18 as upregulated in pre-eclamptic placentas, implicating its involvement in the pathogenesis of the condition and highlighting potential therapeutic targets.
- Additionally, Chang has contributed to the understanding of antibacterial drug development, specifically targeting bacterial quorum sensing systems to combat antibiotic resistance, a critical global health issue exacerbated by the emergence of superbugs.
