Overview

You Wan is affiliated with Peking University in China and has a research portfolio primarily focused on neuroscience and medicine. Their extensive work encompasses molecular biology, cellular and molecular neuroscience, physiology, neurology, and cognitive neuroscience.

Their research addresses several key topics, including:

  • Pain Mechanisms and Treatments
  • Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research
  • Stress Responses and Cortisol
  • Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration Mechanisms
  • Neurogenesis and Neuroplasticity Mechanisms
  • Pain Management and Placebo Effect
  • Neuropeptides and Animal Physiology

Notable recent papers by You Wan include:

  • "Interneuron Accumulation of Phosphorylated tau Impairs Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis by Suppressing GABAergic Transmission," 2020, published in Cell Stem Cell
  • "Pathology of pain and its implications for therapeutic interventions," 2024, published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy
  • "Efficacy of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation combined with general anesthesia for sedation and postoperative analgesia in minimally invasive lung cancer surgery: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial," 2020, published in Thoracic Cancer
  • "A nociceptive neuronal ensemble in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex underlies pain chronicity," 2022, published in Cell Reports
  • "Development of a CRISPR-SaCas9 system for projection- and function-specific gene editing in the rat brain," 2020, published in Science Advances

You Wan frequently collaborates with several scientists, most notably:

  • Ming Yi (16 coauthored papers)
  • Fengyu Liu (10 coauthored papers)
  • Xuetao Qi (10 coauthored papers)
  • Kun Cui (9 coauthored papers)
  • Shuang Cui (9 coauthored papers)

Their research outputs have been published repeatedly in several venues, including:

  • Neuroscience Bulletin (3 publications)
  • JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING STUDIES (3 publications)
  • Cell Stem Cell (2 publications)
  • Cell Reports (2 publications)
  • UNC Libraries (2 publications)

The combination of fields indicates a multidisciplinary approach with a strong focus on understanding the cellular and molecular foundations of nervous system functions and disorders, particularly related to pain mechanisms, neurogenesis, and neurodegeneration.
