Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Zifeng Cui"
- ZiFeng Cui's recent research spans diverse domains within cancer biology and molecular mechanisms, particularly focusing on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), exploring biomarkers like ECT2 and circ-BNC2 for their roles in tumor progression and prognostication.
- The studies also delve into the intersections of metabolic disorders and pregnancy complications, such as examining FTO-mediated m6A modifications in type 2 diabetes mellitus, and analyzing gut microbiota interactions in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) to understand their impacts on offspring health.
- A significant portion of Cui's work involves genomic investigations, including the development of the VIS Atlas database for virus integration sites and genome-wide analyses to reveal insertional mechanisms of viruses like HPV, HBV, and EBV in cancer genesis, which underscores the complex relationship between viral integration and carcinogenic processes.
