Press Release: HKUMed-QMUL research team identify biomechanical and molecular signals that trigger early progression of atherosclerosis
Jun 02, 2022
A joint research team at LKS Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) and Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) has discovered the molecular mechanisms of how pathological condition-mimicking mechanical stimuli lead to the early progression of atherosclerosis, a leading cause of vascular disease worldwide. The research findings provide new insights into the mechanosensitive pathway of vascular smooth muscle cell during the initial phase of atherosclerosis and have been recently published in Science Advances.

Press Release: Dr Martin Cheung and his team discover new molecular mechanism in promoting melanoma angiogenesis and metastasis, paving the way for new therapeutic opportunities
Apr 04, 2022
Dr Martin Cheung and his team have discovered a new molecular pathway to govern melanoma angiogenesis and metastasis. The findings provide new insights into how melanoma undergoes metastasis and progression through secretion of pro-angiogenic factor to induce angiogenesis that paves the way for new therapeutic opportunities. The new findings are now published in the leading multidisciplinary science journal, Advanced Science.
