Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Shanshan Chao"
- Shanshan Chao's research mainly focuses on the mechanisms of stem cell biology, particularly asymmetric division, and its implications in cancer progression and therapy, as evidenced by her studies on colorectal cancer and stem-like cells.
- Her recent work highlights the relationship between intratumor heterogeneity and chemoresistance in colorectal cancer, identifying the role of asymmetric division in establishing early tumor heterogeneity.
- Chao also explores the impact of microbial involvement, such as Fusobacterium nucleatum, on colorectal cancer stem-like features, emphasizing the complex interactions between cancer biology, inflammation, and stem cell dynamics.
