OverviewAI-generated summary

Ji Li's research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of atherosclerosis and related cardiovascular diseases. His work investigates how specific compounds and biological processes influence the progression of atherosclerosis, particularly within macrophages. Recent publications explore the anti-atherosclerotic effects of quercetin and MCL, both of which involve the KEAP1/NRF2 pathway and target macrophage ferroptosis or pyroptosis. Other research examines the role of homocysteine in promoting atherosclerosis through macrophage pyroptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Li has also studied the protective effects of omentin-1 on high glucose-induced endothelial dysfunction via the AMPK/PPARδ signaling pathway, and the anti-inflammatory effects of geraniin in macrophage models.

With a career spanning over 86 publications and accumulating 1,428 citations, Li has demonstrated consistent research output, evidenced by his h-index of 20. His collaborations extend across institutions, including significant joint publications with Ronald K Brimberry at the University of Arkansas for Fayetteville and Ramey Moore and Shashank Kraleti at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Li also maintains an active lab website, suggesting ongoing research activities and a commitment to disseminating his work.
