Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Haihong Zhang's research focuses on disease mechanisms and molecular biology. Her work includes investigating the role of overexpressed PKM2 in promoting macrophage phagocytosis and atherosclerosis, as detailed in a 2022 publication. She has also studied signaling pathways in extracranial arteriovenous malformations, specifically the dysregulation of TGF-β/BMP signaling and increased circulating TGF-β1, also in 2022. Another area of her research involves the impact of microRNA-21 on the proliferation of lymphatic malformation endothelial cells by inhibiting PDCD4, as published in 2023. Zhang's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 11, with a total of 48 publications and 440 citations. She has collaborated with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Gresham T. Richter (7 shared publications), Graham M. Strub (6 shared publications), Ravi W. Sun (4 shared publications), and Syed Hassan Mehdi (3 shared publications).
