Research Description
The goal of my laboratory is to screen the effective component(s) from Chinese herbal medicine and to study their mechanisms in treating neurodegenerations. Chinese herbal medicines could not only regard as our culture properties but also play important roles in traditional or alternative medicines. Currently, the explorations of new drugs from Chinese herbal medicines are potentially important to the clinical medicines, basic researches, biotechnology industries. On the other hand, the incidence of neurodegenerations, such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and abusive drug-induced neurotoxicity, are increasing recently, however the proper therapeutic ways are lack. Therefore, I have set different models to screen effective component(s) from Chinese herbal medicines to treat neurodegeneration. These models include Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, ischemia, and abusive drug-induced neurotoxicity.
