Yiwen Zhang is confirmed on PubMed as the first author of the study evaluating a Chinese yam protein extract in aged rats and senescent Leydig/Sertoli cell models. The extract improved testicular function and reduced senescence markers, tied to restoring autophagy through the mTOR-Beclin-1 pathway.
Public record of this specific name at this institute is limited beyond this paper, so this bio stays close to the study itself.
