Apr 14, 2023Researchers Develop Ultra-tunable Bistable Structures for Universal Robotic Applications"We can tune the structure to an ultra-sensitive state so that it will respond to a minute stimulation as gentle as a touch of a flying bee, while we could also set the structure to an insensitive ... Bistable structures in nature are unparalleled for their fast response and force amplification even with the minutest physical stimulation.Harnessing bistability and instability to rapidly release ... -
Apr 13, 2023A Capsule X-Ray Dosimeter for Real-Time Radiotherapy MonitoringThis technological breakthrough was published in the journal Nature biomedical engineering on April 13, 2023. In radiotherapy, precision in targeting tumor tissue while minimizing damage to healthy tissue is crucial. Monitoring the dose of radiation delivered and absorbed in real-time, particularly in the ... -
Apr 11, 2023Scientists Develop New Synthetic Hydrogel to Understand Cell-Matrix InteractionsThe application of PIC gel for cell cultures can, the team hopes, be realized more quickly. Recently, an international research team from Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Radboud University and KU Leuven used a synthetic, yet highly biom... -
Mar 29, 2023Researchers Systematic Reviews A New Randomized Clinical Trial"These findings suggest that we must develop new or more aggressive methods to further improve the use of systematic reviews in RCT reports," said Dr. JIA. Systematic reviews can help to justify a new randomized clinical trial (RCT), inform its design, and interpret its results in the context of prior evidence. Therefore, many stakeholders, including ... -
Mar 27, 2023Cellular Growth Rate Reshapes Cell-Fate-Decision Landscape"It is hard to disentangle the global factors, such as growth rate, from the cell-fate-decision processes," said Prof. FU, noting that the growth rates can be varied as the results of the fate deci... Genes and the regulation relationships among them create complex networks that determine cell differentiation trajectories. However, we still cannot understand and predict the cell-fate-decision pr... -
Mar 15, 2023Scientists Elucidate Fine Neural Orchestration of Feeding Processes for the First Time"This study deepens our understanding of the feeding process and the neural regulation mechanism, and provides a new theoretical basis for the treatment of feeding-related disorders," said Dr. WANG. A research team led by Dr. WANG Liping from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT), Chinese Academy of Sciences has conducted a detailed study of spontaneous behavior during the food ... -
Mar 14, 2023Scientists Develop Magnetic-Acoustic Actuated CAR-T Cell Robots for Precision Antitumor ImmunotherapyIn this strategy, a living CAR T cell microrobot based on magnetic-acoustic sequential actuation for self-controllable targeting and augmented antitumor immunotherapy in solid tumor by artificially... Although chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has shown incredible success in the treatment of haematological malignancies, its application in solid tumors is unsatisfactory owing to the ... -
Mar 09, 2023Researchers Revealed Molecular Mechanism of Pannexin 2 as an ATP Membrane Pore Channel"Our work illuminated the 3D structures of Panx2 transmembrane protein at the atomic level,"said Prof. YUAN, "it helps to understand the fundamentally biological function of Panx2 which provides an... Recently, a research team collaborated by Prof. YUAN Shuguang from Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. ZHANG Huawei from the South University of Science...
