A transcription factor has been identified to be the main factor responsible for the tendency of glioblastoma stem cells to form tumours. A group of researchers, guided by Professor Fang Zhiyou and...
Researchers have developed an all-in-one diagnostic tool to identify H. pylori infections from a small sample of biopsy tissue. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), is a common bacteria that causes...
The novel bacteria-affinitive photothermal carbon dots can specifically bind to bacteria and destroy its cell walls, killing bacteria more effectively than current carbon dots. As much as antibiotics...
Scientists have discovered that soil microbes with functional genes that maintain ideal conditions for ecosystem functions are selected based on ecosystem needs. The functional gene content of soil...
Researchers have found that the impact of microplastics on aquatic plants may not be as clear-cut as expected, depending on the prevailing aquatic conditions. In recent years, microplastics are...
These nanoparticles may be used to support crop growth in heavy metal-contaminated areas, boosting crop yield. Toxic metals like arsenic, cadmium, and lead have been gaining public attention as it...
A precise metabolomics method reveals perturbations in various metabolic pathways are associated with age-related diseases. A team of researchers led by Dr. Shui Guangshou from the Institute of...
The new compound exhibits a good safety profile and tolerability among individuals, providing an effective alternative for patients with statin intolerance. Hyperlipidaemia, or a high level of lipids...
Non-substrate chemicals have been shown to induce multidrug resistance by causing oxidative stress when tested on specific transporters. Accounting for nearly one in six deaths, cancer is one of the...
Scientists have discovered a novel function of the growth factor Midkine and how it contributes to cancer cell proliferation by mediating AMPK signalling. Led by Professor Piao Hailong from the...
A novel oral vaccine system developed using a sugar-controlled bacteria robot may be used as an antigen delivery and display platform that can prevent a variety of diseases. A recent study led by...
Scientists have successfully developed a PEGylation urchin-like nickel nanocluster for synergistic photothermal-chemodynamic therapy, overcoming previous limitations limiting their clinical...
