Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Youxi Liu"
- Youxi Liu's research predominantly focuses on understanding immune responses and cell dynamics in the context of skin health and diseases, leveraging advanced techniques like single-cell transcriptomics to gain insights into complex interactions between immune and skin resident cells.
- Recent findings reveal a significant role of various cell types and cytokines in allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) and highlight differential behaviors influenced by the melanin-concentrating hormone system in response to nicotine, illustrating the sex-dependent effects of substance use disorders.
- Liu's studies also investigate the regulatory mechanisms of dermal adipocyte lineage cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) in skin development, homeostasis, and wound healing, shedding light on critical signaling pathways like IL-1-NF-κB and WNT-β-catenin in adipogenesis and skin tissue dynamics.
