Dr. Zhongjie Sun's lab focuses on understanding how aging affects kidney function and blood pressure, particularly through the role of exosomes derived from renal stem cells. They investigate how these tiny vesicles influence kidney health and contribute to conditions like hypertension as people age. The research aims to uncover new treatment strategies for kidney diseases and hypertension in the elderly.
