  • Three clinical trials from SYSUCC presented in the proffered paper sessions at the ESMO Congress 2023

    At the ESMO (European Society for Medical Oncology) Congress 2023 held from 20-24 October in Madrid, Spain, 11 clinical research achievements from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC) were included as oral presentations. Among them, three studies on colorectal cancer (CRC) / non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were further selected as proffered papers.

  • Earlier menopause increases the risk of dementia

    Emerging evidence has shown that reducing modifiable risk factors may help to prevent and control dementia. Earlier menopause, particularly premature menopause, might be associated with increased risks of cardiovascular diseases, sleep disorders, psychiatric diseases, and other sequelae. It is uncertain whether earlier age at menopause is associated with incident dementia. In addition, the unde...

  • Research group of Prof. Jian-Wen Dong and Prof. Wen-Jie Chen achieved new progress in topological photonic crystals

    As we all know, the realization of new optical field manipulation can reveal fundamental optics and find new applications, which has a wide range of application prospects in the fields of information, life, chemistry and materials. In recent years, topology has been introduced into photonics, and a variety of nontrivial photonic topological insulators have been discovered. They have realized so...

  • Research group of Prof. Jian-Wen Dong achieved new progress in antichiral optical transmission

    Due to the feature of defect immune and unidirectional transmission, the chiral edge states in topological materials have attracted tremendous attention in condensed matter physics as well as in photonics. Benefit from this unique feature, promising applications, aiming at low loss optical transmission, have been proposed and demonstrated, such as robust waveguiding and high-performance lasing....

  • Therapeutic potential of Clostridium butyricum anticancer effects in colorectal cancer

    Probiotic roles of Clostridium butyricum (C.B) are involved in regulating disease and cancers, yet the mechanistic basis for these regulatory roles remains largely unknown. C.B. has been found to play an important role in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment, according to a recent study “Therapeutic potential of Clostridium butyricum anticancer effects in colorectal cancer” published in Gut Micr...

  • Researchers discover Antarctic ice tongue calving triggered by Tonga volcanic tsunami

    Researchers from the School of Geospatial Engineering and Science in Sun Yat-sen University have disclosed that a tsunami triggered by last year's Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption caused the calving of the Drygalski ice tongue front in the South Pole, according to a recent research article published in the journal Science Bulletin.
