Research summary
AI-generated

Shihuan Kuang's research focuses on how muscle and fat tissues form, regenerate, and are regulated at the cellular and molecular level, including the biology of stem cells that repair muscle after injury or disease. Work spans topics like muscle stem cell metabolism, brown and white fat tissue regulation, inflammation resolution during tissue repair, and models relevant to muscle-wasting diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This research could interest students wanting to work on stem cell biology, metabolism, or regenerative medicine using mouse models and molecular/cellular techniques.
