new Congratulations! Professor Chen has been elected as a member of the Academia Europaea.



Rationale: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease accompanied by neurotoxicity, excessive inflammation, and cognitive impairment. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) δ is a potential target for AD. However, its regulatory mechanisms and therapeutic potential in AD remain unclear. We aimed to investigate if the activation of PPARδ using a highly selective and potent agonist could provide an effective therapeutic strategy against AD. Methods: We synthesized a novel PPARδ agonist, 5a, containing a selenazole group and determined the X-ray....
The process of skeletal regeneration initiated by stem cells following injury, especially in fractures, is significantly impaired by aging and adverse factors. Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a critical endogenous precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), has garnered extensive attention for its multifaceted regulatory functions in living organisms and its wide-ranging therapeutic potential. However, whether NMN contributes to trauma-induced skeletal regeneration remains unclear. Methods: The transverse femoral shaft fracture model was employed to evaluate the potential advantages....
