About
Sun-sang J Sung is an Associate Professor at the University of Virginia, USA. His research focuses on kidney injury, immune responses, and the roles of various cellular factors in disease pathology, as reflected in his recent publications. He has explored topics such as mitochondrial dysfunction during acute kidney injury, lymph node development in relation to leptin receptor deficiency, and the contributions of macrophages in chronic conditions. Additionally, he investigates innovative approaches in biomedical applications, including microfluidic devices for urinalysis.

Acute kidney injury (AKI), a serious disease for which there is no effective Federal Drug Administration-approved treatment, is associated with high mortality rates. Bone marrow stromal cell antigen-1 (Bst1) is a cell surface molecule that can cause kidney fibrosis, but its role in AKI is largely unknown. Our study showed that Bst1 −/− mice revealed a protective effect against renal bilateral ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Adoptive transfer studies confirmed that Bst1 expression in hematopoietic cells, especially neutrophils, contributed to renal bilateral IRI.
