Research summary

Xue-Qi Tang's research spans two connected areas: the biology of chronic pain (especially neuropathic and cancer-related pain) and the study of natural plant compounds, such as those from Corni Fructus, for treating diabetes and metabolic disease. Earlier work examined how spinal cord immune cells (microglia) and signaling molecules like interleukin-10, β-endorphin, and GLP-1 receptor pathways reduce pain sensitivity in animal models. More recent work shifts toward analyzing herbal extracts and their bioactive components for managing diabetes, blood sugar, and insulin resistance, often using multi-omics and machine learning methods.

Publication output has been uneven over the last decade, with a peak in 2019, a lull around 2021-2022, and a recent resurgence in 2023-2024.
