Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Vivek Khanal investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic disorders and their impact on bone health and interorgan communication. His recent publications focus on how high-fat and high-carbohydrate diets affect bone fragility by influencing osteocyte function through TGF-β signaling. Khanal also studies the role of lipocalin-2 in regulating osteocyte ferroptosis and its crosstalk with osteoblasts via Wnt signaling, which impacts bone formation. Additionally, his research examines the global transcriptional profiles of adipose tissue to uncover sex-dependent mechanisms in acute obesity and their implications for adipose-heart interorgan crosstalk. Khanal has authored four publications with 14 citations and an h-index of 1. He collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Neha S. Dole, Madeline Carroll, Amy Y. Sato, and Ryan M. Allen.
