Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Zhan Su's research focuses on the intersection of biomechanics, tissue engineering, and health sciences. His work investigates the mechanical properties of biological tissues, including the temporomandibular joint, and explores therapeutic strategies involving mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles and materials like polyetheretherketone combined with graphene.

His publications examine topics such as the role of extracellular vesicles in promoting antioxidant capacity in stem cells, the osteogenic differentiation effects of modified implants, and the spatial heterogeneity of energy dissipation in fibrocartilage. Additionally, Su has investigated the association between very long-chain saturated fatty acids and cognitive function in older adults, and explored the mechanics of the temporomandibular joint osteochondral interface. His work also touches on the use of digital technology in surgical training and the correlation between Alzheimer's disease and cancer from a hypoxia perspective.

With an h-index of 23 and over 15,000 citations from 78 publications, Su is recognized as a highly cited researcher. He leads a research group at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
