Jun Yu's research output includes several recent papers that have contributed to various scientific discussions:

  • Sequence and comparative analysis of the chicken genome provide unique perspectives on vertebrate evolution, 2021, Kent Academic Repository (University of Kent)
  • Dietary cholesterol drives fatty liver-associated liver cancer by modulating gut microbiota and metabolites, 2020, Gut
  • Gut microbiota modulation: a novel strategy for prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer, 2020, Oncogene
  • High-Fat Diet Promotes Colorectal Tumorigenesis Through Modulating Gut Microbiota and Metabolites, 2021, Gastroenterology
  • The role of gut microbiota in cancer treatment: friend or foe?, 2020, Gut

Their collaborations reflect frequent cooperation with other researchers, notably:

  • Chi Chun Wong (77 collaborations)
  • Joseph J. Y. Sung (73 collaborations)
  • Harry Cheuk-Hay Lau (56 collaborations)
  • Weixin Liu (52 collaborations)
  • Huarong Chen (49 collaborations)

Jun Yu commonly publishes in specialized journals and academic venues that include:

  • Gastroenterology (65 publications)
  • Oncogene (30 publications)
  • Cancer Research (20 publications)
  • Gut (18 publications)
  • SSRN Electronic Journal (11 publications)

The combination of Jun Yu's research fields, topics, and publication record suggests a significant focus on understanding molecular and microbial factors involved in cancer and liver diseases, as well as exploring gut microbiota's role in health and disease regulation.
