For his project, “Complement in the cellular microenvironment during cardiac renewal, " he is exploring how activating the Complement pathway in cardiac fibroblasts and macrophages can promote cardiomyocyte (CM) proliferation and regeneration. This work focuses on understanding the interactions within the cardiac microenvironment, which could potentially lead to new therapeutic strategies for heart failure by targeting CM renewal.

This award mechanism supports early-stage investigators with their projects in preparation for their careers. His three-year project, “Transient YAP Activation in Cardiomyocytes Induces Long-term Protection Against Injury, “ investigates how activation of the Hippo signaling pathway effector YAP can provide long-term protection against myocardial infarction (MI). For this work, he is developing a novel gene therapy model that uses a small molecule to induce YAP activation in CMs. This work has the exciting potential to innovate MI treatments by promoting cardiac regeneration and reducing fibrosis. His project runs from July 2024 through June 2027. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6178a4193897701b2858c5a8/711560d5-6c18-447f-84c3-e1c2ce45ad88/Lin+Liu.jpg News - Newly Funded Lab Members! - Dr. Lin Liu was awarded an AHA Postdoctoral fellowship for his project, “YAP induces cardiogenesis by directing cardiomyocyte metabolic remodeling“. His fellowship runs from January 2024 through December 2025. The goal of Dr. Liu’s project is to understand how YAP activation induces CM proliferation through metabolic remodeling. His hypothesis is that in cardiac conditions such as an MI or heart failure, this pathway promotes antioxidant defenses, thereby enabling CM cell cycle re-entry and efficient cardiac regeneration. https://www.jfmartinlab.com/blog/zg8s6zgh8l0xgftzjpbv5assvwiezn monthly 0.5 2024-08-05 https://www.jfmartinlab.com/blog/our-work-in-18-minutes monthly 0.5 2024-07-30 https://www.jfmartinlab.com/blog/newly-published-regeneration-study monthly 0.5 2024-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6178a4193897701b2858c5a8/3531896d-09bb-41d6-877f-60043d902a5b/Li+Niche+CNR+paper.jpg News - Newly Published Regeneration Study!
