Synopsis of recent research by authors named "You-hua Hao"
- You-Hua Hao's research primarily focuses on the immunological mechanisms underlying hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections, particularly examining the roles of T cells and natural killer (NK) cells in chronic HBV infection and related liver diseases.
- Significant findings include the identification of altered expression of CD28 family receptors and toll-like receptors on T cells, which correlate with disease severity and immune responses in chronic hepatitis B and acute-on-chronic liver failure patients.
- Additionally, Hao has explored potential therapeutic agents, such as isothiafludine, for inhibiting HBV replication and has provided insight into patient compliance with surveillance programs for chronic hepatitis B management in China.
