Researchers at Niigata University identified a novel Olig2 binding protein called Ddx20, which regulates RNA metabolism and transcription. Ddx20's interaction with Olig2 helps maintain cell survival and prevents apoptosis in neural progenitor cells.
Researchers mapped the Australian black tiger prawn genome to improve farming productivity and disease resistance. The study also uncovered a unique Endogenous Viral Element (EVE) that helps fight viral infections in prawns.
A new virtual ligand-assisted screening method enables efficient searching of ligands for optimal catalysis, accelerating reaction design. By simplifying ligand description with two metrics, researchers identify promising ligands and focus on real testing.
Researchers at Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) developed a new stretchable meta-display technology that can be stretched up to 25% without image distortion. This achievement solves the fundamental issue of image distortion in stretchable displays using meta-structures.
An international team of scientists has developed an organic semiconductor that can operate in the 5G frequency range, with a structure featuring ultralow capacitance and resistance. The innovation paves the way for mass manufacturing at low cost using solution processing techniques.
