T helper lymphocytes, a subset of immune cells which regulate immunity, undergo functional changes with age. These changes can indicate the biological age of individuals, which can be either higher or lower than their chronological age. Among these changes, the team (the labs of Prof. Monsonego and Prof. Esti Yeger-Lotem) discovered a new subset of T helper cells that accumulate with aging. Now, Prof. Monsonego believes they are one of the keys to maintaining an age-appropriate immune system.

On 8:00 PM (EST) November 6, 2025, leading scientists from across the globe will gather online for the Extreme Manufacturing Webinar Series: “Additive Manufacturing and the 21st Century Industrial Revolution.” The event brings together four pioneering researchers whose work is pushing the boundaries of what can be made—and how fast, sustainable, and intelligent manufacturing can become.

A joint research team from POSTECH, Eunpyeong St. Mary’s Hospital, and Hankuk University of Foreign Studies has developed a 3D-bioprinted retina-on-a-chip and retinal vein occlusion model.

The Advanced Robotics Research Center at the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM, President Seog-Hyeon Ryu), under the National Research Council of Science & Technology (NST, Chairman Young-Shik Kim), led by Principal Researcher Cheol Hoon Park, has developed an automated weaving system that enables the continuous mass production of fabric muscle, a lightweight yet powerful artificial muscle actuator.
