Recently, Prof. Liu Yan, Director of the Department of Critical Care Medicine at Yantai Affiliated Hospital of BMU, collaborated with Prof. Cao Bin’s team from China-Japan Friendship Hospital to publish a research paper in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy (STTT, Impact Factor 52.7). The paper revealed the key mechanism of the transmembrane protein Ninjurin-1 (NINJ1) in the infection process of influenza A virus (IAV). This achievement not only deepened the understanding of pathogenesis of influenza at the molecular level, but also laid a crucial theoretical foundation for developing future intervention strategies targeting NINJ1, possessing potential clinical translational value.
