Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Weizhen Jia"
- Weizhen Jia's recent research focuses on the roles and mechanisms of vascular endothelial stem cells (VESCs), including their maintenance, differentiation, and impact on aged-related changes, drug resistance, and tumor growth regulation.
- Significant findings include the identification of transcription factors that regulate VESC properties, the existence of fetal-like VESCs in the liver, and the impaired functionality of VESCs due to aging.
- Additional research explores the controversial roles of the apelin-APJ system in tumor dynamics, the importance of galectin-3 in hematopoietic stem cell quiescence, and various molecular mechanisms affecting cancer cell resistance and metastasis.
