Research

Research topic: air pollutant-particulate matter (PM2.5)-related studies

  • The combined effect of PM2.5 and other metabolic diseases on cardiovascular disease:related machnisms of oxidative stress, mitochondrial fission and mitophagy on endothelial inflammation.
  • The effect of PM2.5 on endocrine and reproductive system:role of mitochodial fission, mitophagy and autophagy on steriodogenesis.
  • Seek for the effective and potential drugs for amelioration of these diseases.
  • Any novel ideas are welcome to discuss with me!
