Flexomagnetic effect, which refers to the coupling between magnetism and strain gradients, is a novel kind of magnetoelastic effect and has raised extensive attentions in interdisciplinary field of physics, mechanics, material science and electronics engineering. It holds promising application potential in developing novel devices like sensors, actuators and energy harvesters towards miniaturi...
It is still controversial to what extent neurogenesis occurs in adult primates. On May 30, 2022, the joint teams of Professor Sheng Liu/Yizhi Liu/Mengqing Xiang from Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University published the research paper "Single-cell transcriptomics of adult macaque hippocampus reveals neural precursor cell populations" in Nature Neuroscience (impact factor 25).
Photonic Dirac cone is a special kind of degenerate state with linear dispersion, which is ubiquitous in various two-dimensional photonic crystals. By introducing spatial inversion symmetry breaking, photonic Dirac cone will transit to valley states. Correspondingly, photonic nodal ring is a kind of energy band degeneracy that exists in three-dimensional structure, and it appears as a closed ri...
Recently, Professor Kuang Ming's team, from the Center of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery of The First Affiliated Hospital at Sun Yat-sen University (FAH-SYSU), has made new progress in the field of precise prevention and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence. Their related outcomes have been published in Cancer Immunology Research, an important journal of the American Associa...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world, with more than 5 million patients in China. The cardinal symptoms of PD are motor dysfunctions, including resting tremor, bradykinesia, and rigidity, which are attributed to the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra.
Lineage reprograming of resident astrocyte into functional neuron holds great promise and is a currently hotspot for neurological disease therapy.
