Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Zhiyi Zhen"
- Zhiyi Zhen's recent research focuses on the role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in cellular senescence, specifically examining how these molecules interact with microRNAs to influence the aging process in human cells.
- One of the key findings from Zhen's latest article is that endogenous hsa-circ_0007113 binds to hsa-miR-515-5p, which regulates senescence in human embryonic lung fibroblasts, suggesting a novel mechanism by which circRNAs may contribute to aging-related cellular changes.
- The study highlights the potential of targeting circRNAs as a therapeutic strategy to prevent or mitigate the effects of cellular senescence, a condition implicated in various diseases.
