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...
A research team, affiliated with UNIST has developed a novel CRISPR-based genome labeling scheme for reliable visualization of genomic elements in living cells. This labeling scheme, according to the research team, would enable real-time visual tracking of changes in chromatin structure. CRISPR, also known as CRISPR/Cas9, is a type...
A joint research team, affiliated with UNIST BME has been selected as the recipient of a large-scale Social Science Korea (SSK) project of the National Research Foundation of Korea. Research teams from UNIST and Pusan National University (PNU) have entered into a research collaboration focusing on...
A new diagnostic technology that quickly identifies viral or bacterial infections by dropping a single drop of blood on artificial vessels-on-a-chip that mimics the human immune response has been developed. In addition to its ability to detect infections before they begin to show symptoms (i.e., fever), the new method is ready to...
