Congratulations! Professor Chen has been elected as a member of the Academia Europaea.



Rationale: Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury is a severe neurovascular disease that urgently requires effective therapeutic interventions. Recently, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has garnered significant attention as a potential treatment for stroke; however, the precise and targeted delivery of H2S remains a considerable challenge for its clinical application. Methods: We have developed HSDF-NH2, a novel H2S donor characterized by high selectivity, self-reporting capabilities, and the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Results: HSDF-NH2 effectively scavenges reactive oxygen species....
Rationale: Arterial remodeling serves as a pivotal mechanism underlying the development of diseases such as hypertension. Fibulin-7 (FBLN7), an adhesion protein, remains enigmatic regarding its role in these pathological processes. This study aims to explore whether FBLN7 influences vascular remodeling and its underlying mechanisms. Methods: We generated FBLN7 knockout mice and smooth muscle-specific FBLN7 overexpression mice. Vascular remodeling models were established by administering angiotensin II (Ang II) for 28 days. RNA sequencing, western blot, and immunofluorescence assays were employed....
