A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study of 207 gut microbiota species reveals eight microbes with causal links to pancreatic cancer. Three species reduce cancer risk, while five elevate it. Pancreatic cancer also alters nine microbial levels, indicating a gut-pancreas axis interaction. The findings highlight microbiota’s potential for early diagnosis and treatment.

A comprehensive expert consensus published in Intelligent Medicine establishes the first comprehensive framework for classifying, annotating, and quality-controlling dry eye imaging datasets across five core modalities, directly addressing the upstream data infrastructure gap that has long constrained AI development in ophthalmology.

Rapidly growing cities face a pressing question: how can climate policy move from planning documents into the buildings, streets, and public spaces where people live and work?

The research team led by Professor Hoseok Park of the Department of Chemical Engineering of SKKU announced that they have succeeded in dramatically improving the cycle life and capacity of aqueous batteries simply by adding a small amount of a special material to the electrolyte.

New “GMBU” procedure reveals band structures in finite, curved nanomaterials, linking nano‑ARPES and theory for next‑generation device design.

Physician-scientists at Kanazawa University have demonstrated, for the first time worldwide, the clinical efficacy of chemoimmunotherapy in patients with ultra-rare urachal cancer. Furthermore, their reverse translational research elucidated the mechanism by which the addition of immunotherapy enhances the efficacy of chemotherapy.

Since the introduction of the Da Vinci® robotic system, robot-assisted colon resection has gained popularity because of its the potential technical advantages. 

Global climate change is reshaping agricultural ecosystems. As warmer winters become more prevalent, snow droughts caused by insufficient snowfall are becoming more frequent. This leaves winter wheat, which relies on snow cover for insulation and water supply, vulnerable to low-temperature frost damage and water stress, posing a major threat to global food security. A research team from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has utilised innovative explainable machine learning to uncover the persistent and significant negative impact of snow droughts on winter wheat yields, highlighting that global food security is facing unprecedented challenges. This breakthrough study provides key scientific evidence for building climate-resilient agriculture, ensuring food security and promoting sustainable development.
