Academician Yang Baofeng led a team to tackle the key issues and bottlenecks in major cardiovascular diseases in China. After decades of hard work, they made the groundbreaking discovery of the mechanism behind a significant cardiac disease—non-coding RNAs/M3 receptors/ion channels, which serve as novel targets for regulating major cardiovascular diseases. They also identified microRNAs as important regulatory molecules in arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, bringing hope for the prevention and treatment of sudden cardiac death. This research was recognized as a highlight by Nature, an editor's recommendation by Science, and one of the top ten advances in life sciences by Nature Medicine. Over 600 papers have been published in journals such as Nature Medicine, Circulation, JCI, JACC, Cir Res, and STTT, with over 20,000 citations. Prof. Baofeng Yang evaluated the effects of over 100 drugs on the cardiovascular system and proposed the theory “Best Target of Antiarrhythmic Drug Action”, which was indited into the book—Ion Channel Pharmacology; Prof. Baofeng Yang developed a few therapeutic drugs such as Daming capsule, Kangxin capsule and Nianlianping, which have been used in clinic and brought great economic benefits. Prof. Baofeng Yang was the editor-in-chief of the medical textbook—Pharmacology (Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Edition).
