Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yue-Ting Xing"
- Yue-Ting Xing's research includes exploring the role of circular RNAs in age-related changes in adipose tissue-derived stromal cells, providing insights into their function and potential in stem cell therapies.
- The findings indicate that the novel circular RNA Circ-ATXN2 can inhibit cell proliferation, promote cell death, and enhance adipogenesis in these stromal cells, highlighting its significance in aging and tissue repair.
- Additionally, Xing's genomic study clarifies the taxonomic status of the Chinese mountain cat, concluding it as a wildcat conspecific with no role in the domestication of domestic cats in East Asia, which supports the theory of a single domestication event from the African wildcat.
