Overview

Xuejun Jiang is affiliated with the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in the United States and has a strong research focus in the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, as well as Medicine. Their work spans over 100 publications, with significant contributions to Molecular Biology, Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, and Cancer Research.

Their research primarily addresses topics such as RNA modifications and cancer, ferroptosis and cancer prognosis, autophagy in disease and therapy, cancer-related molecular mechanisms, epigenetics and DNA methylation, and the interplay between gut microbiota and health.

Jiang has co-authored frequently with several researchers including Chengzhi Chen, Zhen Zou, Brent R. Stockwell, Yinyin Xia, and Jun Zhang, reflecting collaborations that have contributed to advancing knowledge in their domains.

Their publications appear repeatedly in notable scientific venues, including:

  • Nature
  • Nature Communications
  • Molecular Cell
  • Cell
  • Journal of Nanobiotechnology

Among their recent papers, Jiang is credited as lead author on the 2021 review titled "Ferroptosis: mechanisms, biology and role in disease", published in Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology. Other relevant recent publications in the field of ferroptosis include works published in Trends in Cell Biology (2020), Molecular Cell (2022), Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2020), and Cell (2023), indicating a focus on regulated cell death mechanisms and lipid metabolism intersecting with cellular signaling.

These papers collectively cover aspects of ferroptosis biology, emerging mechanisms of regulated cell death, interplay with lipid metabolism, and the role of cellular signaling pathways such as PI3K-AKT-mTOR in ferroptosis suppression, as well as hormone regulation of ferroptosis surveillance.
