The Conformational Space of RNase P RNA in Solution Academic Background The conformational diversity of RNA plays a crucial role in biology, particularly in processes such as RNA splicing, packaging, cellular transcriptional activation, and responses to environmental stimuli. However, traditional biophysical techniques have been unable to directly ...
Terahertz Field-Induced Metastable Magnetization Near Criticality in FePS₃ Academic Background In recent years, controlling the functional properties of quantum materials with light has emerged as a frontier in condensed matter physics, leading to the discovery of various light-induced phases of matter, such as superconductivity, ferroelectricity, ...
Spatial Transcriptomic Clocks Reveal Cell Proximity Effects in Brain Aging Academic Background With aging, cognitive function declines, and the risk of neurodegenerative diseases significantly increases. Brain aging is a complex process accompanied by numerous cellular changes. However, how aging cells affect neighboring cells and how this contribu...
Academic Background RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a crucial molecule in living organisms, involved in various biological processes such as gene expression, regulation, and catalysis. Although a significant portion of the human genome is transcribed into RNA, the structural study of RNA molecules remains a major challenge. RNA molecules typically exhibi...
The Impact of Atmospheric Rivers on Warm Winters and Extreme Heat Events Academic Background Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) are narrow regions of intense water vapor transport in the Earth’s atmosphere, typically carrying large amounts of moisture from the subtropics to mid-latitudes and polar regions. These transient phenomena dominate global moisture t...
Academic Background and Problem Statement In cancer research, gene amplification is a common form of mutation, particularly in the activation of oncogenes. However, despite the widely recognized importance of gene amplification in cancer, precisely modeling these amplifications in primary cells and model organisms remains a challenge. Specifically,...
In Vitro Model of Vertebrate Trunk Development Academic Background The development of the vertebrate trunk is a highly coordinated process involving the generation and organization of multiple cell types. At the core of this process are progenitor cells located in the posterior of the embryo, which differentiate into tissues such as the neural tube...
