Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yoko Koh"
- Yoko Koh's recent research primarily focuses on the intersection of immunology and cancer treatment, exploring mechanisms of immune-related adverse events associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors and their connection to the development of type 1 diabetes in genetically susceptible patients.
- Koh has contributed significantly to understanding biomarkers in cancer, particularly in prostate and bladder cancers, through the discovery of urinary extracellular vesicle-based indicators and circulating tumor DNA analyses that could enhance diagnosis and predict treatment outcomes.
- The impact of dietary factors on cancer progression has also been a key area of Koh's research, notably examining how high-fat diets can promote prostate cancer growth through mechanisms involving histamine signaling and gut microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids.
