Establishing Electromagnetic Wave Measurement Standards to Ensure the Performance of ‘Korea’s Starlink’

by

Newswise — The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS, President: Lee Ho Seong) has established standards that can reliably verify the performance of Korea’s developing 6G low Earth orbit satellite communication system. Recently, the communication paradigm is shifting to three-dimensional communication utilizing both air and space. While two-dimensional communication faces limitations in areas … Read more

Psychosis Symptoms Emerge in Surprising Pattern, Researchers Find

by

Newswise — Patients with psychosis have a disrupted connection to reality, often suffering from delusions and hallucinations. These symptoms have been thought to arise from the same brain processes, but a new Yale study upends this long-held belief. The new study examined the natural progression of delusions and hallucinations in two large groups of adolescents … Read more

New Marker to Predict Severity in Patients With Rare Scleroderma

by

Newswise — Systemic sclerosis, or scleroderma, causes the hardening of skin and connective tissues. Often, the disease harms other organs, such as the heart, kidneys, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract, and it can lead to death. Within the population of people who have systemic sclerosis, those who have diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis often have a worse … Read more

Structural Heart Interventions Continue To Grow With Promising Results

by

Newswise — Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure used to replace damaged heart valves, offering patients an alternative to open heart surgery. Over the last decade, there has been a dramatic shift in the treatment of valvular heart disease, and today, the majority of patients with aortic stenosis who undergo aortic … Read more

Groundbreaking Study Highlights Critical Gap in Global Mental Health Research

by

Newswise — A landmark study led by the Latin American Genomics Consortium (LAGC), a pioneering collaborative network co-founded and co-led by Janitza Montalvo-Ortiz, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry, reveals a significant disparity in psychiatric genomics research, with over 85% of participants in genome-wide association studies being of European ancestry. This imbalance severely limits our understanding … Read more

Neutrophils in the Immune System Help Build Healthy Skin

by

Newswise — Neutrophils, the most abundant immune cells in our bodies, are known for their destructive roles: killing pathogens, clearing out infections, and, sometimes to our detriment, wreaking havoc on surrounding tissues in the process. But now, scientists at Yale School of Medicine (YSM), have discovered a new role for neutrophils, one that involves the … Read more

Characterization of the Rbfox3-IRES-iCre Knock-in Mouse: Revealing Gene Recombination Activity in Neural and Non-Neural Peripheral Tissues

by

Newswise — In vivo cell type-specific genetic recombination based on the Cre-loxP system has contributed to the understanding of biological processes and diseases. Neuronal nuclei (NeuN)/RBFOX3 is a widely used mature neuron marker in developmental biology and neuroscience. Here, we generated Rbfox3-improved Cre (iCre) knock-in mouse model and investigated the effect of iCre knock-in into the Rbfox3 gene … Read more

KIST Develops Full-Color-Emitting Upconversion Nanoparticle Technology for Color Displays with Ultra-High Color Reproducibility

by

Newswise — Upconversion Dr. Ho Seong Jang and colleagues at the Extreme Materials Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have developed an upconversion nanoparticle technology that introduces a core@multi-shell nanostructure, a multilayer structure in which multiple layers of shells surround a central core particle, and enables high color purity RGB … Read more

CAR-M Technology: A Novel Approach to Overcome CAR-T Limitations in Solid Tumor Treatment

by

Newswise — Researchers in South Korea have proposed a novel cancer immunotherapy approach that could complement existing CAR-T (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell) treatments. Researchers at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), led by Dr. Chi Hoon Park, have successfully generated CAR-M (Chimeric Antigen Receptor Macrophages) by stably inserting synthetic genes into human macrophages … Read more
