Research summary
AI-generated

Wenqiang Du's research focuses on how cells and tissues physically and biochemically interact at invasive interfaces, particularly comparing placental invasion during pregnancy to cancer invasion. Work spans the mechanics of tissue stiffness and stromal resistance, oxygen fluctuation (hypoxia) effects on tumor and stromal cells, and stem-cell/tissue-engineering approaches to regenerative and metabolic biology. The research draws on evolutionary comparisons across species, molecular signaling pathways, and materials science methods to understand invasion, inflammation, and tissue remodeling.
