Abstract Senolytics, which eliminate senescent cells from tissues, represent an emerging therapeutic strategy for various age-related diseases. Most senolytics target antiapoptotic proteins, which are overexpressed in senescent cells, limit... Read More
Normally when we think of a rolling object, we tend to imagine a cylinder (like a bicycle wheel) or a sphere (like a tennis ball) that will always follow a straight path when rolling. However, the world of mathematics and science is always... Read More
Abstract Lysosomes remain powerful organelles and important targets for cancer therapy because cancer cell proliferation is greatly dependent on effective lysosomal function. Recent studies have shown that lysosomal membrane permeabilizatio... Read More
Abstract A few metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), which typically use strong acids as proton sources, display superprotonic conductivity (≈10−1 S cm−1); however, they are rare due to the instability of MOFs in highly acidic conditions. For th... Read More
Abstract Single-molecule tweezers, such as magnetic tweezers, are powerful tools for probing nm-scale structural changes in single membrane proteins under force. However, the weak molecular tethers used for the membrane protein studies have... Read More
A research team affiliated with UNIST has made a significant breakthrough in uncovering the potential of ultra-photostable avalanching nanoparticles. Their study demonstrates that such particles can perform unlimited photoswitching, leading... Read More
In a world that is slowly distancing itself from carbon-based energy, there has been a meteoric rise in the use of lithium-ion batteries as a next-generation energy storage solution. However, this has resulted in another problem – an... Read More
Professor Hyeon Suk Shin in the Department of Chemistry at UNIST bestowed with the Scientist of the Month Award for May 2023, presented by the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF). Professor... Read More
Abstract New secondary building units (SBUs) in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) open opportunities for the rational design of new MOF structures and their emerging properties. Zr-based MOFs are one of the representative classes of MOFs, fea... Read More
Abstract Retinal vascular occlusion (RVO) is a common cause of visual impairment. Although several approaches, including vasodilators, have been explored to treat retinal vascular occlusion, there is no proper method to treat this obstructi... Read More
