Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yihan Yu"
- Yihan Yu's recent research primarily focuses on environmental toxicology, immunology, and the effects of pollutants on aquatic organisms, notably exploring how substances like pentachlorophenol and microplastics impact bivalves, fish, and crustaceans.
- The findings emphasize the detrimental effects of anthropogenic pollutants on immune functions and health, illustrating how pentachlorophenol compromises the immunity of blood clams and how microplastics not only hinder feeding behavior in fish but also undermine the mechanical properties of shrimp exoskeletons.
- Yu's work also includes innovative biomedical applications, such as the development of biomimetic nanoparticles for the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration, showcasing a multidisciplinary approach that combines environmental science with biomedical engineering.
