研究領域
JNK信號通道在細胞增殖、遷移、凋亡、應激反應和個體衰老中起著至關重要的作用,其失調可導致發育缺陷和過早衰老,並和腫瘤發生和遷移、免疫失調、阿爾茲海默症及多種重要疾病的發生與發展密切相關。
我們以果蠅為模式動物進行遺傳篩選,找到了JNK信號通道上30多個新的基因,已分析鑑定其中部分基因,成果發表在DevelopmentalCell和Science等國際頂級學術雜誌。我們將繼續研究其餘的基因,探索它們在JNK信號通道中的分子功能,闡明其在細胞凋亡、個體衰老、癌症及阿爾茲海默症中的作用機制。
選擇是一種行為,也代表著智慧,其調控分子和作用機制仍有待破解。我們利用果蠅的擇偶方式和取向,研究選擇的分子機制以及調控選擇的
遺傳因素。
我們還建立了癌症和阿爾茲海默症的果蠅
模型,並利用這些疾病模型篩選和檢驗各類中藥成分對延緩衰老、治療癌症和老年痴呆症等疾病的效果。
