Academic Background Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (MSCs) are a type of multipotent stem cells widely used in regenerative medicine and cell therapy. However, MSCs undergo progressive aging (senescence) during in vitro culture, leading to a decline in their proliferation and differentiation capabilities, which poses a significant obstacle to their ...

Academic Background Since its introduction in 1970, Conway’s Game of Life (GoL) has been a classic model for studying the behavior of complex systems. As a Cellular Automata (CA) model, GoL simulates the life and death of cells on a two-dimensional grid through simple rules, demonstrating complex behaviors emerging from these rules. Although GoL ha...

Academic Background Scar formation is a common issue following trauma, burns, and other complications, significantly impacting the quality of life for millions of people worldwide. Fibroblasts play a central role in pathological scar formation, making them a common target for developing new therapies to promote healing and reduce scarring. Recent s...

Vaginal wound healing is a critical issue in gynecological surgery, especially following vaginal delivery or pelvic reconstructive surgery. Infection and poor healing of vaginal wounds can lead to severe complications such as chronic pain, infection, and dysfunction. Therefore, accelerating vaginal wound healing has been a focal point of clinical r...

Academic Background Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an advanced non-invasive imaging technique that provides detailed molecular information about living tissues. CEST MRI works by selectively saturating exchangeable protons of specific metabolites and transferring this saturation to water molecules, ...

Academic Background As global climate change intensifies and air pollution becomes increasingly severe, reducing carbon emissions and pollutant emissions in the transportation sector has become a focus for governments and research institutions worldwide. Heavy-duty trucks (Class 8), as the primary means of freight transport in the United States, co...
