Research Summary

Dr Yu's research mainly focused on the potential mechanism and therapeutic strategy of secondary brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage. Neuroinflammation is considered to be a critical component in the pathological process after intracerebral hemorrhage. Microglia are the foremost and earliest inflammatory cells participating in the pathological process of ICH. AdipoRon is the agonist of AdipoR1 (Adiponectin receptor 1), which enhances P-AMPK (phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase) activation. The activated AMPK facilitates microglia/macrophage polarization by driving the cell state from proinflammatory M1 state to anti-inflammatory M2 state. His recent work aims to investigate the role of AdipoRon in microglial polarization and neuroprotection after hyperglycemic intracerebral hemorrhage.
