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



Rationale: Aortic aneurysms and dissections (AAD) cause more than 10,000 deaths in the United States each year. However, there are no medications that can effectively prevent the pathogenesis of AAD. MER proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase (MerTK) is a key receptor for efferocytosis, a process for the clearance of apoptotic cells. Here, we mainly focused on ascending aortic aneurysms and dissections (AAAD) and investigated the role of endothelial MerTK in AAAD progression. Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis in human AAAD samples and RNA-seq big data analytics, combined with our....
Brain diseases are a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Early detection can lead to earlier intervention and better outcomes for patients. In recent years, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) imaging have been widely used in stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and brain cancer due to their advantages of in vivo, unlabeled, and high-resolution 3D microvessel imaging at the capillary resolution level. This review summarizes recent advances and challenges in living brain imaging using OCT/OCTA, including technique modality, types of diseases, and theoretical....
