OverviewAI-generated summary
Vivek Khanal's research investigates the impact of diet on bone health, focusing on the role of osteocytes and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β). His work examines how high-fat and high-carbohydrate diets can increase bone fragility by affecting osteocyte function through TGF-β signaling pathways. Khanal also studies the role of lipocalin-2 in regulating osteocyte ferroptosis and its influence on bone formation via crosstalk with osteoblasts through Wnt signaling. His research further explores sex-dependent mechanisms in acute obesity by analyzing transcriptional profiles of adipose tissue and their implications for interorgan communication. Khanal has published four papers, with his most recent work in 2026, and has accumulated 16 citations. He has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Neha S. Dole and Madeline Carroll.
