Thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is an autoimmune condition affecting the orbit and ocular adnexa that may lead to vision loss. Treatment for TAO remains challenging because of the poor understanding of its pathogenesis. On July 26, 2022, Prof. Wenru Su's group from Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University recently published their results in Cell Reports Medicine.
Recently, Professor Ming Kuang from the Center of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and colleagues published novel mechanisms underlying post-RFA HCC recurrence in internationally renowned journal Hepatology, entitled “Eliminating METTL1-mediated accumulation of PMN-MDSCs prevents HCC recurrence after radiofrequency ablation”.
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...
