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...
A new hybrid electro-biosystem can convert carbon dioxide into energy-rich long-chain compounds, presenting a step towards a renewable-electricity-driven manufacturing industry. With the rising...
Researchers have identified novel factors involved in controlling the angles at which leaves emerge, possibly improving crop productivity. Rice is a staple food in Asia and some parts of the Pacific....
The new bioprinting system can print cells from all directions on complex-shaped blood vessel scaffolds. Using a three-dimensional (3D) printer with bioinks (often containing cells and biomaterials),...
A group of scientists has identified the role of progesterone in advanced prostate cancer and found a potential therapeutic target to suppress the generation of progesterone. According to the Global...
A novel intracellular polymerisation-based “prodrug” system can reduce tumour growth and metastasis while leaving main organs unaffected. In the treatment of cancer, surgical intervention,...
In this study, a team of researchers uncover the mechanism behind catechu’s hypoglycemic effect. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a disorder that affects almost 400 million people worldwide and accounts...
