Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ziqiang Fu"
- Ziqiang Fu's research primarily focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying placental development and its associated disorders, particularly in the context of non-diabetic fetal macrosomia (NDFMS) and male infertility, revealing key roles of long non-coding RNAs and microRNAs in these conditions.
- His studies have identified the downregulation and aberrant expression of specific lncRNAs and microRNAs in the placentas of women with macrosomia, linking these alterations to trophoblast cell proliferation and overall placental dysfunction.
- Additionally, Fu's research highlights the potential epigenetic factors in male infertility, examining how aberrant DNA methylation of imprinted loci in sperm may influence reproductive outcomes, and suggesting that specific microRNAs could serve as intervention targets to mitigate placental damage induced by environmental factors such as titanium dioxide nanoparticles.
