Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yanqiu Zhao"
- Yanqiu Zhao's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying plant development and stress response, particularly in poplar species, where significant findings include the role of transcription factors like PagNAC2a and PdMYB118 in regulating phloem fiber differentiation, lignin deposition, and xylem differentiation.
- In addition to plant studies, Zhao's work extends to the biomedical field, investigating treatments for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with studies examining the efficacy of savolitinib and camelid-derived antibodies targeting the MET exon 14 mutation, as well as the role of HDAC1/FOXK1 in EGFR-TKI resistance mechanisms.
- Zhao also explores the potential of antimicrobial peptides from sea cucumbers as alternatives to antibiotics, demonstrating broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity of the peptide SCAK33, indicating a promising direction for future therapeutic developments.
