Light-modulated van der Waals force microscopy
A near-field microscopy, named light-modulated van der Waals force microscopy, is reported to discriminate compositions of materials with sub-10 nm spatial resolution by probing a dynamic van der Waals force between tip and sample.
Unlocking a Detrimental Role of IGF1 in Osteoarthritis: A New Target for Therapeutic Intervention?
Osteoarthritis is a common joint disease that leads to pain, stiffness and limited mobility, for which no effective treatments are available. My team and I, driven by the desire to address this medical need, studied the biology of cartilage and this led us to uncover a surprising player in OA: IGF1.
Nature's Flight Sense: The Bio-Mechanical Perception with Embodied AI Insights
Bird has captivated humanity for centuries with their ability to soar through the skies with grace and precision. What lies at the heart of this fascination? The answer lies in the unique combination of biological structures and sensory systems that allow birds to perform complex aerial maneuvers.
Beyond the Taste: A Multifunctional Gustatory Interface for Tongue Cancer Patients
Extensive surgical procedures involving flap reconstruction impact the taste perception for tongue cancer patients, highlighting the need for innovative approaches to dysgeusia.
Impact of residential solid fuel usage and fuel conversion on children’s lung function
Solid fuel combustion exposure is a leading global health risk factor, yet evidence on its effects, especially on vulnerable children, is sparse. Our study highlights the adverse impact of solid fuel usage on children and the need to promote clean fuel usage for this vulnerable population.
Time is Precious
Our laboratory has been studying the long noncoding RNA ( lncRNA ) termed FIRRE for over 15 years and yet we have only recently realized we missed something critical: TIME. Time is precious and has changed the way we think about the entire field !
