Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Zhongju Shi"
- Zhongju Shi's research primarily focuses on the molecular mechanisms and therapeutic strategies for spinal cord injury (SCI), with a notable emphasis on understanding the transcriptional and non-coding RNA landscape during various injury phases, especially the intermediate and acute phases.
- His studies demonstrate the potential of curcumin and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in modulating the injury response and promoting neural repair, highlighting their roles in programmed cell death and axonal regeneration processes.
- Additionally, Shi has explored the critical involvement of cellular components like microglia in the healing processes post-injury, showcasing their essential role in scar-free repair mechanisms in neonatal models, thus offering insights into potential therapeutic avenues for SCI.
