OverviewAI-generated summary
Ying Zhong's research focuses on understanding the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying various health conditions, with a particular emphasis on the impact of maternal diet and the microbiome on offspring health. Her work has investigated the role of non-coding RNAs, such as MEG3, in cellular processes like p53 activation, and explored the functional properties of food components, including bioactive peptides and antioxidants derived from canola protein hydrolysates.
Recent investigations have explored the consequences of maternal obesity and high-fat diets, revealing associations with lipotoxic placental environments and an enhanced predisposition in offspring to conditions like steatohepatitis. These studies also highlight the influence of epigenetic alterations and microbiome changes in mediating these effects. Zhong has also contributed to the identification of prognostic biomarkers for hepatocellular carcinoma, utilizing integrative multi-omics analysis.
With a substantial publication record (135 publications) and a high citation count (2,144), Zhong is recognized as a highly cited researcher. She leads a research group and has established collaborations with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Umesh D. Wankhade, Henry A. Paz, James D. Sikes, and Aline Andres, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
