Research team led by Prof. Huiyong Yin unveils the mystery of “Asian Flush” mechanism, pioneering new directions in precision treatment for heart attacks
9 March 2026
Prof. Huiyong Yin’s research team recently published a groundbreaking study in Circulation titled “ALDH2/eIF3E Interaction Modulates Protein Translation Critical for Cardiomyocyte Ferroptosis in Acute Myocardial Ischemia Injury”, revealing for the first time how the ALDH2 mutation triggers “ferroptosis” — a specific type of cell death—during heart attacks, leading to a rapid deterioration of cardiac tissue. This discovery opens new doors for precision prevention and treatment for hundreds of millions of gene carriers worldwide.

Professor Huiyong YIN’s Team Identified Protein Translation in Regulating Ferroptosis in Myocardial Infarction
27 January 2026
Professor Huiyong YIN’s lab from CityUHK BMS published a groundbreaking study in Circulation entitled “ALDH2/eIF3E Interaction Modulates Protein Translation Critical for Cardiomyocyte Ferroptosis in Acute Myocardial Ischemia Injury”. This study, for the first time, reveals that ALDH2*2 aggravates acute heart failure post-MI by promoting the selective translation of ferroptosis-related mRNAs.
