Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Zhanping Lu"
- Zhanping Lu's research primarily focuses on the functional roles of transcription factors and non-coding RNAs in hematopoiesis and cancer, particularly emphasizing the interplay between Yin Yang 1 (YY1), SMC3, and ultra-conserved RNA in these biological processes.
- Recent findings highlight YY1's critical function in hematopoietic stem cell quiescence and its interaction with the cohesin complex protein SMC3, underscoring the importance of chromatin architecture in lineage differentiation.
- Lu's work also explores microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs as regulatory elements in cancer progression and angiogenesis, revealing their potential as therapeutic targets and diagnostic tools in liver cancer and melanoma.
