Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) translocation is considered a hallmark event of cellular apoptosis. The development of non-invasive multi-modality probes targeting PE for apoptosis detection holds great promise. Here, we develop a dual-modality imaging …

Due to the shortage of kidneys donated for transplantation, surgeons are forced to use the organs with an elevated risk of poor function or even failure. Although the existing methods for pre-transplant quality evaluation have been validated over decades …

Aims: Chronic hypoxia causes detrimental structural alterations in the lung, which may cause pulmonary hypertension and are partially mediated by the endothelium. While its relevance for the development of hypoxia-associated lung diseases is well known, …

Background Exposure to ionizing radiation has been linked to cardiovascular diseases. However, the impact of moderate doses of radiation on abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) remains unknown. Methods Angiotensin II-infused Apoe-/- mice were irradiated …

Background: Atherosclerosis (AS) is the most prevalent cardiovascular disease, with an exceptionally high burden. High-fat diet (HFD) is a popular diet behavior, whereas low-dose radiation (LDR) is an environmental physical factor. There is evidence to …

Treatment of highly aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in the clinic is challenging. Here, a liposome nanodrug (LP@PFH@HMME) integrating imaging agents and therapeutic agents for bimodal imaging-guided sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is developed, …

Muscle invasive bladder cancers (BCs) can be divided into 2 major subgroups-basal/squamous (BASQ) tumors and luminal tumors. Since Pparg has low or undetectable expression in BASQ tumors, we tested the effects of rosiglitazone, Pparg agonist, in a mouse …

Background: The biological functions of mitochondrial complexes are closely related to the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). Calcium binding and coiled-coil domain 2 (CALCOCO2) is a novel and specific receptor for mitophagy; however, its function …

In vivo molecular imaging tools are crucially important for elucidating how cells move through complex biological systems; however, achieving single-cell sensitivity over the entire body remains challenging. Here, we report a highly sensitive and …

She has a background in stem cell science and reproductive medicine, and her research focuses on preservation of female fertility. She is currently working with human follicle culture and ovarian tissue …
