Abstract Functional mapping during brain surgery is applied to define brain areas that control critical functions and cannot be removed. Currently, these procedures rely on verbal interactions between the neurosurgeon and electrophysiologist, which can be time-consuming. In addition, the electrode grids that are used to…

  Abstract Organ-on-a-chip, which recapitulates the dynamics of in vivo vasculature, has emerged as a promising platform for studying organ-specific vascular beds. However, its practical advantages in identifying vascular-targeted drug delivery systems (DDS) over traditional in vitro models remain underexplored. This study demonstrates the reliability…

Abstract Mitigating sepsis-induced severe organ dysfunction with magnetic nanoparticles has shown remarkable advances in extracorporeal blood treatment. Nevertheless, treating large septic animals remains challenging due to insufficient magnetic separation at rapid blood flow rates (>6 L h−1) and limited incubation time in an extracorporeal circuit….

The work by Distinguished Professor Kyungjae Myung has been published in the online version of Nucleic Acids Res. on September 22, 2023. Abstract Homologous recombination (HR) requires bidirectional end resection initiated by a nick formed close to a DNA double-strand break (DSB), dysregulation favoring error-prone…

Abstract Regulatory T (Treg) cells play vital roles in immune homeostasis and response, including discrimination between self- and non-self-antigens, containment of immunopathology, and inflammation resolution. These diverse functions are orchestrated by cellular circuits involving Tregs and other cell types across space and time. Despite dramatic…

Abstract Several stomach diseases are attributed to the dysregulation of physiological function of gastric mucosal barrier by pathogens. Gastric organoids are a promising tool to develop treatment strategies for gastric infections. However, their functional features of in vivo gastric mucosal barrier and host-microbe interactions are…
