Once large scale fibrosis/scar tissue formation occurs in the lungs, there is nothing you can do about it. However, new research finds out that before that happens, it's possible to use progenitor lung cells – capable of differentiating into multiple types of lung cells, to halt and even reverse previously incurable lung diseases such as COPD.

Chinese team tests lung treatment that may be first to reverse damage from chronic disease affecting 700 million people​

  • Paper follows statement by Zuo Wei that ‘stem cell and progenitor cell-based regenerative medicine may be the biggest, if not the only, hope to cure COPD’
  • During a six-minute walking test, the study group could walk around 30 metres further after treatment, deemed a ‘clinically meaningful improvemen

Chinese researcher trolling well-known scientific journal by submitting a stem cell research on giant "rat dck". The paper passed peer review!!

Dingjun Hao, a researcher at Xi’an Jiaotong University, was co-author of the study.
The labels on each Midjourney-generated diagram are not quite English, and there was inaccurate and grotesque depictions of rat testes, signaling pathways, and stem cells.


Stem cell research paying dividend?
Yes, paying big dividends.

Chinese researchers developed a method for the early detection of dementia, potentially 15 years before the onset of symptoms, using AI and a large scale British data bank.
Analysis of the blood identified patterns of four proteins that predicted the onset of dementia in general, and Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia specifically, in older age.

When combined with more conventional risk factors such as age, sex, education and genetic susceptibility, the protein profiles allowed researchers to predict dementia with an estimated 90% accuracy nearly 15 years before people received clinical confirmation of the disease.

Chinese scientists use massive databank and AI to try to predict dementia 15 years before symptoms start​

  • Team finds ‘important plasma biomarkers for future dementia prediction’, with algorithm playing a crucial role in research: professor
  • Researchers tapped into 50,000-strong UK Biobank cohort, 1,400 of whom developed dementia within 10 years of the initial data collection
The use of artificial intelligence was “one of the key factors for the success of this research”, Yu Jintai, study author and neurology professor at the Fudan University-affiliated Huashan Hospital said.

The research group of Liu Chang and Liu Qihang of SUSTech published research results on the spin splitting behavior of antiferromagnetic materials in Nature​



Recently, the research groups of Associate Professor Liu Chang from the Department of Physics and Institute of Quantum Science and Engineering of Southern University of Science and Technology, Professor Liu Qihang's research group, and the research group of Researcher Qiao Shan from Shanghai Institute of Microsystems and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, have conducted research on the electronic structure of antiferromagnetic materials. make progress. The research team directly observed the spin splitting energy band in antiferromagnetic materials experimentally for the first time. The relevant results were published in the international academic journal Nature under the title "Observation of plaid-like spin splitting in a noncoplanar antiferromagnet"

Guo Xuefeng’s team from the School of Chemistry and collaborators use single-molecule excited states to achieve logical operations and real-time communication​


Compared with traditional electronic chips, optoelectronic chips have higher transmission speed and bandwidth. Among them, optical signals can be transmitted at the speed of light, which gives them huge advantages in the field of high-speed communication and data transmission. It is an effective strategy to expand Moore's Law. Using a single molecule as the optoelectronic functional center is expected to meet people's growing demand for device miniaturization and is the cornerstone of future molecular optoelectronic devices. To date, individual molecules have yet to be improved in terms of device performance and stability, including the on-off ratio of field-effect transistors, the quantum yield of light-emitting diodes, and the operating frequency of logic devices. Among them, the coupling between molecules and the outside world is a key parameter. Strong coupling may lead to hybridization of molecules and the outside world, while weak coupling will weaken the modulation effect of external stimuli. This urgently requires further development of molecular engineering, interface engineering, and electrode engineering. Recently, the research group of Guo Xuefeng from the School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering of Peking University and the research group of Jun Terao from the University of Tokyo insulated and protected the molecular bridge and anchored it with covalent bonds between graphene electrodes to achieve high quantum yield radiation of phosphorescence/fluorescence. And successfully applied to logic operations and real-time communication
