Temporally Distinct 3D Multi-Omic Dynamics in the Developing Human Brain

Temporally Distinct 3D Multi-Omic Dynamics in the Developing Human Brain

Prof. Dong-Sung Lee

Professor Dongsung Lee from the College of Medicine at SNU, in collaboration with researchers at UCLA and UCSF, has published a paper in Nature, being the first in the world to study epigenomic changes, including the three-dimensional genome structure and DNA methylation, during human brain development from the fetal stage to adulthood at the single-cell level, using the single-nucleus methyl-3C technology they developed.

A reversible switching between octopus tentacle and articular structure

A reversible switching between octopus tentacle and articular structure

Prof. Ko, Seung Hwan

In this paper, a strategy that manipulates micro-water of hydrogel in reversible, selective, and on-demand manner is reported. It realizes instant switching between a transparent and homogeneously soft gel and an opaque and heterogeneously rigid solid with a monolithic mechanical gradient.

NTRK- and RET-fusion-directed therapy in pediatric thyroid cancer yields a tumor response and radioiodine uptake

NTRK- and RET-fusion-directed therapy in pediatric thyroid cancer yields a tumor response and radioiodine uptake

Prof. Jong-Il Kim

At the time of diagnosis, pediatric thyroid cancer(PTC) is more associated with lymph node and lung metastasis compared to adult thyroid cancer. As for the response to the radioiodine treatment after the surgery, however, PTC shows fairly satisfactory results.
