A research team from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST, President Oh Sang-Rok), led by Dr. Hyung-Seop Han from the Biomaterials Research Center, Dr. Dae-Geun Song from the Center for Natural Product Systems Biology, and Dr. Oh-Seung Kwon from the Doping Control Center, announced that they have developed a therapeutic substance with both antiviral and tissue regenerative properties, based on a peptide derived from natural sources.
An Osaka Metropolitan University-led team conducted a case series that retrospectively evaluated the contrast-enhanced computed tomography findings of eight cats with eosinophilic enteritis.
An Iowa State University research team identified how developmental delays lead to longer lifespans in fruit flies, a potential model for exploring human longevity.
Professor Barbara Franke, among the world's top 1% most cited scientists, shares her journey from molecular biology to psychiatric genetics in a new Genomic Press interview. Her pioneering research illuminates biological pathways from genetic variations to altered behavior in ADHD, combining bioinformatics, brain imaging, and experimental models to revolutionize psychiatric diagnosis and treatment approaches.
MIT researchers have a new hypothesis for how brain cells called astrocytes might contribute to memory storage in the brain. Their model, known as dense associative memory, would help explain the brain’s massive storage capacity.
