Microglia play a critical role as immune cells in the pathological regions of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study elucidates that TREM2, present on the surface of microglia, recognizes and clears beta-amyloid associated with externalized phosphatidylserine (ePtdSer) during AD progression.

Professor Uwe R. Fischer's research team from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at SNU has revealed the fundamental importance of incorporating self-consistency in the solution for the many-body evolution of trapped interacting particles, for parameter estimation from measurement data (known as metrology). The impact of self-consistency has been made manifest by evaluating its strong impact on the metrological precision for the parameter estimation in a given measurement protocol.

Symmetry-protected band degeneracy, coupled with a magnetic order, is the key to realizing novel magnetoelectric phenomena in topological magnets.

It is widely accepted that every massive galaxy hosts a super-massive black hole. However, the origin of these massive black holes are yet to be revealed.

Microdevices can be integrated on conformable substrates to create high-performance and multifunctional human–machine interfaces.

Recent research highlights the crucial role of the gut-brain axis in understanding depression etiologies. While burgeoning studies suggest an association between disruptions in gut microbiota and the development of depression, limited longitudinal studies have investigated this link

Gastric cancer (GC) constitute a significant cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with metastatic patterns including hematogenous, peritoneal, and ovarian routes

In biological research, the identification and comparison of genes within specific pathways across the genomes of various species are invaluable. However, annotating the entire genome is resource intensive, and sequence similarity searches often yield results that are not actually genes.

Marine heatwave, a prolonged period of anomalously warm seawater, has a catastrophic effects on marine ecosystems. To avoid such extreme events, net‐zero carbon emissions by the 2050s, known as carbon neutrality, has been proposed.

Professor Hyun-Woo Rhee and Professor Jae-Seok Roe’s joint research team revealed that mitochondrial thermogenesis, via mitochondrial oxygen reduction reaction, induces a heat stress response signaling similar to external heat shock in the nucleus.

Professor Ko's research team from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at SNU has succeeded in developing energy harvesting through water infiltration in semiconductor nanochannels. Additionally, they have efficiently harnessed solar energy using the 2D material MXene, which improves its performance.

Spin angular momentum-encoded single-photon emitters are basic building blocks for the advancement of chiral quantum optics and cryptography.
