Overview

Nu Xu is affiliated with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the United States. Their research spans multiple areas within biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, medicine, and immunology and microbiology.

The scientist has contributed to the understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying immune disorders and thyroid diseases, with particular focus on toxin mechanisms and immunotoxins, galectins and cancer biology, inflammasome and immune disorders, clusterin in disease pathology, cell death mechanisms and regulation, thyroid disorders and treatments, and gut microbiota and health.

Nu Xu has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including Yunnan Zhang, Xiaoyang Qu, Qinning Li, Rong-Lin Zhong, and Chao Liu. These collaborations have contributed to a range of studies integrating molecular biology and immunological approaches.

Recent publications by Nu Xu include:

  • "Mechanism of Prunella vulgaris L. and luteolin in restoring Tfh/Tfr balance and alleviating oxidative stress in Graves' disease" (2024) published in Phytomedicine
  • "Investigating the mechanism and efficacy material basis of Xiehuo Xiaoying decoction for treating Graves' disease via thyroid cell apoptosis based on proteomics and molecular docking techniques" (2024) published in Journal of Ethnopharmacology
  • "Comparative effects of raw and processed cistanche glycosides on the HPT axis and gut microbiota in a rat model of kidney-yang deficiency" (2025) published in Frontiers in Pharmacology

Their work addresses the mechanisms of thyroid-related diseases through biochemical and pharmacological methods, exploring natural compounds and traditional medicine formulations. They also investigate interactions between the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis and gut microbiota, contributing to an integrated view of physiological regulation and disease.

Primary venues for their research publications include:

  • Phytomedicine
  • Journal of Ethnopharmacology
  • Frontiers in Pharmacology

Their research fields are mainly centered on biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with significant contributions to medicine and immunology.

Subfields include molecular biology, immunology, oncology, endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism, and physiology.

Nu Xu has been recognized by notable organizations, being named a Member of Academia Europaea in 2018. Earlier in their career, they were made a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2009, cited for important contributions to the observation of partonic collectivity.
