    研究方向:
  • 细胞外基质与肝脏疾病
    研究工作:
  • 肝脏是人体重要的代谢和免疫器官,而病毒、酒精和代谢导致的慢性肝病影响着超过4.47亿的中国居民。细胞外基质(extracellular matrix, ECM) 的改变是慢性肝病诱发的肝纤维化、肝硬化和肝癌等多种肝脏疾病的重要表现。细胞外基质是由细胞分泌并在组织中围绕在其周围,多种生物活性分子组成的,动态变化的组织支架。细胞外基质生化成分和机械力学的动态变化对于确定其周围细胞的作用和命运至关重要。

    我们的研究交叉融合了机械力学、细胞生物学、免疫学等领域,将利用小鼠模型、3D水凝胶体外培养模型、临床样本,结合原子力显微镜和流变仪力学测量,显微光学成像,多组学、单细胞及其它高通量测序等研究手段,从细胞外基质的成分和机械力学两个层面上探索肝脏内多种细胞与微环境的相互作用,并解析慢性肝病及肿瘤进展中的分子机制,包括(但不限于)以下研究方向:

    1. 探索不同肝脏疾病中细胞外基质的动态变化及其对疾病进展的影响,为肝脏疾病诊断和治疗提供新的策略。

    2. 开发不同机械力学特性和成分的3D水凝胶体外培养模型,用于探索肝脏疾病中多种细胞间的交互作用,为肝脏疾病寻找新的药物靶点。
