Research Achievement

My research focuses on neurodevelopment, neurological diseases and neuroinflammation. The research findings have been published as the first author or corresponding author in Science, Nature Immunology, Progress in Neurobiology, Frontiers in immunology, Frontiers in molecular Neuroscience, Development and Journal of Neuroscience (2011, 2012). I have obtained 7 domestic patents and 3 international patents, and 7 patents are pending.

Recent findings:

1) miR-183 clusters systematically modulate neuropathic pain and somatosensory neuron differentiation (Science 2017, Development 2018).

2) miR-96 inhibits voltage-gated sodium channel network and calcium channel network to inhibit spinal cord sensitized neuropathic pain, and ectopic expression of Nav1.7 in spinal cord neurons is involved in spinal cord injury-induced neuropathic pain (Progress in Neurobiology 2021, Front. Mol. Neurosci. 2023).

3) miR-146a and NPM1 are potential therapeutic targets for inflammatory bowel disease (Nature Immunology 2024, Front Immunol. 2024).
