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.
