Abstract Hyperglycemia is a risk factor for breast cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Hyperglycemia induces Neuregulin 1 (Nrg1) overexpression in breast cancer, which subsequently promotes tumor progression. However, molecular mechanis... Read More
HyunWoo Kim, a graduate student (Advisor: Professor Changwook Lee) in the Department of Biological Sciences at UNIST has recently been honored with the prestigious 2023 Asan Foundation Medical Bioscience Scholarship in recognition of his ex... Read More
Abstract A growing body of evidence has indicated that white adipose tissue (AT) remodeling is a major trigger for obesity-associated metabolic complications. However, the scarcity of translational models is an obstacle to the development o... Read More
Abstract The basement membrane (BM) of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), a thin extracellular matrix (ECM) sheet underneath the brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs), plays crucial roles in regulating the unique physiological barrier f... Read More

Abstract TRAIP is a key factor involved in the DNA damage response (DDR), homologous recombination (HR) and DNA interstrand crosslink (ICL) repair. However, the exact functions of TRAIP in these processes in mammalian cells are not fully un... Read More
Abstract A new phase retrieval method for imaging through random media is proposed and demonstrated. Although methods to recover the Fourier amplitude through random distortions are well established, recovery of the Fourier phase has been a... Read More
Abstract The TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a promising anticancer drug candidate because it selectively binds to the proapoptotic death receptors, which are frequently overexpressed in a wide range of cancer cells, subseq... Read More
Abstract The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria contact site (ERMCS) is crucial for exchanging biological molecules such as phospholipids and Ca2+ ions between these organelles. Mitoguardin-2 (MIGA2), a mitochondrial outer membrane pro... Read More
Abstract β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) signaling plays predominant roles in modulating energy expenditure by triggering lipolysis and thermogenesis in adipose tissue, thereby conferring obesity resistance. Obesity is associated with diminish... Read More
