Temporally complex problem-solving environments are commonplace in organizations. In an innovative study, a researcher from Yonsei University, in collaboration with other scientists, has shown that limited external knowledge in such situations can lead to worse performance than having no external knowledge at all. These findings are expected to further organizational decision-making and strategy, education and training, public policy and healthcare, technology and AI integration, and individual career development.

Collagen-based microgels and nanogels are extremely small in size and consist of cross-linked polymer networks made of the protein collagen or its derivatives. They can function as a ‘delivery system’ that releases substances such as drugs at specifically targeted sites in the body. Now, researchers have published an in-depth review on the manufacturing processes, drug release mechanisms, and biomedical applications of these hydrogel systems, including wound repair and cancer treatment.

Flavonoid glycosides in safflower are crucial for both traditional medicine and modern health products, yet the molecular basis of their formation has long remained obscure. 

A research team has demonstrated a comprehensive high-throughput phenotyping (HTPP) platform integrated with metabolomics, transcriptomics, and anatomical analyses to track drought stress in spruce seedlings.

Drought is one of the greatest threats to crop yield and fruit quality worldwide. 

For decades, scientists have struggled to untangle the genetic complexity of crops with multiple chromosome sets. 

Aluminum toxicity is a major barrier to crop productivity in acidic soils, restricting root growth and nutrient uptake.

Fresh-cut apple browning is a significant quality issue, often reducing the fruit's marketability.
