Dr. Zhang’s research focuses on the autophagy-lysosomal pathway which plays an important role in obesity and diabetes, as well as cancer, cardiovascular, pulmonary and neurodegenerative diseases. Her group developed new concepts linking mitochondrial dysfunction, autophagy and oxidative stress in cell death and survival, including the development of novel in vitro and in vivo approaches to asse...

ABSTRACT First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors selection papers published in Disease Models & Mechanisms, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Kevin Zhang author on ‘ Oxidative stress induces lysosomal membrane permeabilization and ceramide accumulation retinal pigment epithelial cells’, DMM. an MD/PhD student lab Dr Joshua Dunaief at Perelm...

Zhang Lizhu [5] is a Chinese gynecologist and researcher. For most of her career, she worked in the Peking Medical College Third Hospital, renamed in 2000, Peking University Third Hospital [6]. There, she led a team of researchers and physicians in the study of human in vitro [7] fertilization [8] (IVF) and embryo transfer [9] (ET) technology. Zhang and her colleagues contributed to the birth o...

The objective of the present study is to compare the long-term therapeutic efficacy of daytime ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (DAPD) and traditional continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and to find an optimal method for Chinese requiring long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD). A total of 32 inpatients and outpatients receiving PD were randomized into group A (n=16) and group B (n=16). P...

Although molecular chaperones in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are known to be involved in folding and assembly of glycosylated proteins, it is unclear whether preinduced ER chaperones can protect cardiomyocytes from lethal injury. In this study we used tunicamycin, an inhibitor of N-linked glycosylation in the ER, to preinduce ER chaperones in H9c2 cardiomyocytes and we tested the cytoprotect...

TO THE EDITOR: We appreciate the opportunity to further discuss the effects of spaceflight on the cerebral circulation. Dr. Zhang’s letter (6) emanates from the multiple observations that in head-down hindlimb-unloaded (HU) rats, an animal model used to simulate microgravity exposure, the cerebral arteries demonstrate greater vasoconstrictor responsiveness and hypertrophic remodeling (e.g., 5) ...

• Practical impact. My research should also be appreciated by people outside the theory community. Two kinds of research topics are of particular interest: (1) problems that are motivated by practical applications (in particular, database research) for which the solutions can be directly applied, e.g., algorithms for processing massive data; (2) theoretical studies that can serve as benchmarks ...

The starting point of the present study is the interpretation of intuitionistic linear logic in Petri nets proposed by U. Engberg and G. Winskel. We show that several categories of order algebras provide equivalent interpretations of this logic, and identify the category of the so called strongly coherent quantales arising in these interpretations. The equivalence of the interpretations is inti...
