RESEARCH FOCUS
Investigate the role of the microbiota in digestive system cancers, metabolic syndrome, and rare metabolic disorders, as well as their pathogenic mechanisms. Develop microbiota-centered biomarkers and intervention strategies.
Using the microbiota as the core, conduct multiomics and phenomics research on the mentioned diseases and their sub-healthy populations. Establish their digital avatars for disease prediction and prevention.
The research mentioned above aims to develop a precision health research and development ecosystem that encompasses industry, academia, and research. This will expand the value of research and innovation from basic to clinical, from laboratory to patient care in hospital wards, and from hospitals to the community.

| 2025年12月(accepted) | 張婷婷副教授等 | Sodium nitroprusside improves ischemia-induced neovascularization via the HO-1/NOX and AKT/eNOS signaling pathways in chronic kidney disease. | 研究顯示,慢性腎臟病中常見的尿毒素(如 ADMA、IS)會造成氧化壓力上升與一氧化氮生成下降,進而導致血管內皮損傷與周邊動脈疾病惡化。 在 CKD 小鼠的缺血模型中,硝普鈉(SNP)能提升促血管新生因子、改善血流恢復、增加毛細血管密度,並調節缺血組織的炎症與血管新生相關蛋白。 SNP 在體外亦能改善受 ADMA 或 IS 刺激的內皮細胞功能,透過 HO-1/NOX 與 AKT/eNOS 路徑降低氧化壓力並促進血管新生,顯示其可能成為 CKD 伴隨血管併發症的潛在治療策略。 |

| 2025年10月17日 | Professor Chun-Ying Wu and student Teng-Li Lin et al. | Psoriatic arthritis risk in psoriasis patients receiving anti-IL-23 vs anti-IL-17: comparison of drug classes and individual agents | 本研究比較乾癬患者使用 IL-23 抑制劑與 IL-17 抑制劑後發展乾癬性關節炎的風險差異。在 1:1 配對後的 5,490 名患者中,IL-23 抑制劑使用者的 5 年乾癬性關節炎累積發生率明顯較低(11.68% vs 19.94%),風險比為 0.475。多項子族群與個別藥物比較均呈現相同趨勢,顯示 IL-23 抑制劑相較於 IL-17 抑制劑更能降低乾癬患者後續發展關節炎的風險。 | Rheumatology | 4.4 |
| 2025年10月11日 | 曾景鴻博士與吳俊穎教授 | From dysbiosis to longevity: a narrative review into the gut microbiome’s impact on aging. | 腸道微生物組是影響老化的重要且可調控因素,動物實驗證實其可因果性地影響壽命與老化進程。人體腸道菌相隨年齡、飲食、生活型態、荷爾蒙與免疫功能而演變,並透過腸道-肌肉與腸道-大腦軸調節晚年的健康狀態;長壽者通常具有較高多樣性與更佳的腸道穩態。高纖飲食、規律運動及益生菌/益生元/後生元等介入可能促進健康老化,未來仍需更多研究以優化相關策略。 | J Biomed Sci | 12.1 |
