A KAIST research team has developed a flexible drug delivery device with controlled release, blurring the path toward theragnosis. The device boasts fewer side effects and uniform therapeutic results compared to oral ingestion, making it suitable for smart contact lenses and brain disease treatments.
A KAUST study investigated the ignition of methanol-based fuel formulations and found that blending dimethyl ether (DME) with methanol improves combustion efficiency. The researchers also discovered that DME dominates reaction pathways during initial phase of ignition, but can be less effective at high temperatures.
Researchers have identified a potential new treatment for aggressive breast cancer by targeting the communication channel between non-cancerous cells and tumour cells. The study, published in Nature Communications, shows that disrupting this connection can slow tumour growth, increase sensitivity to chemotherapy and improve survival.
Scientists at KAUST developed a controlled method to create triple-layered hollow nanostructures with electrocatalytic activity, suitable for renewable fuel production and water desalination. The hybrid materials outperform single substances in terms of properties.
Researchers at NUS have developed an AI technology platform that can quickly determine the most effective drug combination for a patient. The Quadratic Phenotypic Optimisation Platform (QPOP) uses small experimental data sets to identify effective drug combinations and personalized treatment options.
Mentorship plays a crucial role in helping female athletes overcome sexism, bullying, and discrimination in sports. The study found that mentors provide emotional support, reduce delinquency, and instill positive work ethics. However, the researchers also identified mixed results, including gendered aspects of sport socialization.
A University of Kansas study suggests that food prices in ethnic enclaves impact assimilation rates and consumer spending patterns among Mexican and East Asian immigrants. The researchers found that Mexican immigrants spend less on food, while East Asian immigrants spend more, which could explain the difference in assimilation rates.
Researchers at KAUST have combined computer analysis with laser-based measurements to understand NOx production pathways in different fuel types, finding that alcohol fuels produce up to 50% less nonthermal NOx than conventional fossil fuels.
A study by University of Kansas researcher Erin Adamson finds that lifestyle migrants in Costa Rica's Caribbean coastal town create unintended consequences, including gentrification and racial segregation. Locals see benefits from the influx of migrants, but many are pushed out due to economic changes.
