POSTECH Professors Dong Soo Hwang and Jimin Choi Unravel the Long-Standing Mystery of EGF-Based Adhesion.

A research group led by Kazunobu Sawamoto, a professor at Nagoya City University and National Institute for Physiological Sciences, and Koya Kawase, a pediatric doctor at Nagoya City University Hospital, has elucidated the significance of birth in the maintenance of neural stem cells. These findings enhance our understanding of the pivotal role of birth in regulating tissue homeostasis and regenerative capacities.

Evolution is complex and difficult to study, but a new software package developed by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station offers researchers a better way to simulate how organisms change over time. The new software, called TraitTrainR, builds on work in the field of comparative biology to provide an efficient and effective framework for replicating the evolutionary process many times over. An ultimate goal is to use this software to better understand the diversity of life forms on our planet.

Continuing in its mission to elucidate the role of metal nutrients in human biology, the Chang Lab also offers a possible treatment modality in which copper chelation shows promising results in certain lung cancers where cells have two related phenomena: a heightened transcription factor responding to oxidative stress and a diminished level of bioavailable copper. Copper imbalances have long been implicated in cancer cell growth and other disease states.
