Feb 10, 2022Optogenetic Control of Parathyroid Hormone Secretion to Prevent Bone LossThe team proposed a new approach to control parathyroid hormone secretion in order to prevent secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT)-associated bone loss. Researchers led by Prof. YANG Fan from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators have proposed a new approach to control parath... -
Jan 28, 2022Phase-Change Material Enables Active Tuning of Lattice Kerker EffectThe group’s study, entitled "Active tuning of resonant lattice Kerker effect," was published in the Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics on Jan. 25. The Kerker effect was first discovered by M. Kerker et al. in 1983 for the phenomenon of totally eliminated backscattering in a hypothetical magnetic sphere. With the advent of a new branch of nano... -
Jan 25, 2022New Findings Shed Light on Gut Microbiota TransplantationThe group’s recent research has found that microbiota transplanted from both autologous and heterologous donors could be established in aged hosts and facilitate microbiota restoration after pertu... The maintenance of healthy and resilient gut microbiota is critical for the quality of life and healthspan of the elderly. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been widely used to restore hea... -
Jan 25, 2022New High-Density Surface EMG Signal Quality Enhancement for Upper Limb ProsthesesTheir study are reported in the Biomedical Signal Processing and Control on Jan. 18. Myoelectric pattern recognition (PR) based strategies have been well investigated and applied as viable control methods for upper limb prostheses.However, transhumeral amputees often lack requisite... -
Jan 24, 2022Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Helps Protect Against Predator Attack: StudyA research team led by Dr. WANG Liping from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has reported a common circuit regulating both innate fear and REM... Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep brings about brief but periodic awakenings. In 1966, Dr. Frederick Snyder reported the "sentinel" function of REM could help animals prepare a fight or flight respons... -
Jan 24, 2022Novel Ways to Overcome Chemotherapeutic Drug Resistance in Liver CancerA research group led by Associate Prof. CHEN Liang at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported a novel means to overcome drug resistance in H... Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of liver cancer. Whereas surgical intervention is a beneficial therapeutic strategy only for early-stage HCC patients, targeted drugs show a p... -
Jan 17, 2022Intracellular Supramolecular Self-assembly Regulates Cellular FunctionThe review was published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition on Jan. 17. Supramolecular self-assembly based on noncovalent interactions is considered as a key strategy for introducing intracellular synthetic biocompatible macromolecules. The synthetic macromolecules res... -
Jan 13, 2022New Genome Editing Tools for Human Gut MicrobiomeThe research group led by Prof. DAI Lei at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, published their work “CRISPR/Cas-based genome editing for human ... Bacteroides is the most abundant genus in the human gut microbiome and is regarded as a “window” into the gut microbiome. Bacteroides species have been associated with various diseases, such as o...
