Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Wen-E Zhao"
- Wen-E Zhao's research focuses on the intersection of mitochondrial function, neurotransmission, and synaptic plasticity, particularly in relation to depression, as demonstrated in his study on Iptakalim, which alleviates synaptic damages by targeting mitochondrial K-ATP channels.
- Zhao has contributed to the understanding of the pathological changes in lungs of COVID-19 patients, highlighted by his work on the first successful lung transplant from a COVID-19 patient, providing insights into histopathology and virus distribution.
- His investigation of glomerulonephritis treatment with Lycium barbarum polysaccharides and the comparison of mitochondrial ultrastructure in melanocytes of vitiligo versus halo nevi skin points to his broader interests in kidney disease and skin disorders related to melanin management.
