Plexin-A4 mediates amyloid-β–induced tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease animal model

Plexin-A4 mediates amyloid-β–induced tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease animal model

Prof. Inhee Mook

Here, we suggest a novel role for the plexin-A4 as an Aβ receptor that induces aggregated tau pathology.

Prof. Dong-Hyun Kang

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of nitrogen and sulfur derived from amino acids on the visible-light-driven (VLD) antimicrobial activity of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and to establish an optimal doping form.

Epigallocatechin Gallate Inhibits the Uridylate-Specific Endoribonuclease Nsp15 and Efficiently Neut...

Prof. Nam-Chul Ha

This study screened natural compounds in vitro to identify inhibitors against Nsp15 from SARS-CoV-2. Three natural compounds, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), baicalin, and quercetin, were identified as potential inhibitors.

Antarctic surface temperature and elevation during the Last Glacial Maximum

Antarctic surface temperature and elevation during the Last Glacial Maximum

Prof. Jinho Ahn

Here, we reconstruct the magnitude and spatial pattern of Last Glacial Maximum surface cooling in Antarctica using borehole thermometry and firn properties in seven ice cores.

Unprecedented Noncanonical Features of the Nonlinear Nonribosomal Peptide Synthetase Assembly Line f...

Prof. Yeo Joon Yoon

Systematic inactivation of nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) domains and translocation of the thioesterase (TE) domain revealed several unprecedented nonlinear NRPS assembly processes during the biosynthesis of the cyclodepsipeptide WS9326A in Streptomyces sp. SNM55.

Coordinate regulation of the senescent state by selective autophagy

Coordinate regulation of the senescent state by selective autophagy

Prof. Chanhee Kang

Cellular senescence is a complex stress response implicated in aging. Autophagy can suppress senescence but is counterintuitively necessary for full senescence.

The SARS-CoV-2 RNA interactome

The SARS-CoV-2 RNA interactome

Prof. V. Narry Kim

SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus whose success as a pathogen relies on its abilities to repurpose host RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and to evade antiviral RBPs.

Disease-specific eQTL screening reveals an anti-fibrotic effect of AGXT2 in non-alcoholic fatty live...

Genome-wide association studies have revealed a limited contribution of genomic variants to the disease, requiring alternative but robust approaches to identify disease-associated variants and genes.

Primate ventral striatum maintains neural representations of the value of previously rewarded object...

Prof. Hyoung F. Kim

The ventral striatum (VS) is considered a key region that flexibly updates recent changes in reward values for habit learning.

High–load capacity origami transformable wheel

High–load capacity origami transformable wheel

Prof. Kyu-Jin Cho

Composite membrane origami has been an efficient and effective method for constructing transformable mechanisms while considerably simplifying their design, fabrication, and assembly; however, its limited load-bearing capability has restricted its application potential.
