Ji‐Dong Fu

Ji-Dong Fu studies how microRNAs (small RNA molecules that regulate gene activity) and other non-coding RNAs directly control heart muscle cell function, including electrical activity, contraction, and metabolism, beyond their traditional role in silencing genes. This work uses techniques such as mouse heart imaging (echocardiography), stem-cell-derived heart cells (iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes), and gene editing to understand heart failure, arrhythmia, and heart injury recovery. The research combines molecular biology with cardiac physiology to explore new therapeutic angles for heart disease.

Publication output rose from a low base around 2017-2019 to a peak in 2021, then remained moderately active with a gap in 2024 before resuming in 2025, suggesting a somewhat variable but ongoing publication pace over the past decade.
