The work by Distinguished Professor Kyungjae Myung's team has been published in PNAS. A new therapy called CINDELA (Cancer-Specific InDel Attacker) employs CRISPR-Cas9 to kill cancer cells without affecting normal tissues. Diagnosis of cancers may be one of the worst news to patients and their families. Conventional...
Their findings have been published in the December 2021 issue of PLoS Comput. Biol. There are many decision problems in life that are sequential and constrained by a certain time window. Although mathematically derived optimal solutions exist, it has been reported that humans often deviate from...
A research team, affiliated with UNIST recently published a study that looked at how people exploit the controllability of their social environment. To understand how a sense of control over others may influence the brain’s decision-making processes, the research team tested the ability of healthy...
Seven UNIST researchers have once again distinguished themselves with inclusion in the prestigious ‘Highly Cited Researchers (HCR)‘ for 2021, compiled annually by Clarivate Plc. Published on November 16, the annual list includes researchers with multiple papers ranking in the top 1% by citations for their...
The findings of this research have been published and selected as the front cover of Nature Catalysis on September 14, 2021. The human body is made of numerous different types of cells, which have small compartments known as organelles to perform complex biochemical reactions. These compartments...
A research team led by Professor Joo H. Kang in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNIST has reported a hemolysis-free and highly efficient blood plasma separation platform. In their study, the research team used diamagnetic repulsion of blood cells to separate blood cells and...
On April 26, UNIST and Ulsan City officially announced that their ambitious 10,000 Genome Project has finally reached the milestone of sequencing 10,000 whole genomes. On this day, they also held a declaration ceremony to commemorate the successful completion of the Ulsan 10,000 Genome Project, which was initiated in 2016 as part of...
Peer pressure, a powerful influence in the lives of students, has rather negative connotations in society, which includes the influence of peers on juvenile delinquency and the use of alcohol or cigarettes. According to a new study, affiliated with UNIST, observing social peers making safe choices may lead some teens to make healthy...
A new study, affiliated with UNIST BME has unveiled the mechanisms involved in the liver metastasis of breast cancer, thanks to the three-dimensional (3D) organ-on-a-chip that mimics human liver functions. This breakthrough is expected to contribute to early detection of metastatic cancer, and thus towards...
A recent study, affiliated with UNIST BME has unveiled the mechanism of development of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that give rise to all blood cell types. In collaboration with the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), Director Kyungjae Myung and Dr. Yoonsung Lee at the Center...
