Symptomatic treatment was commonly used for chronic diseases in the past. For example, diabetes was often treated by controlling the increase of glucose and alleviating various diabetes-induced complications with insulin. However, how to prevent diabetes has remained elusive in the scientific and medical community, and it has become a global research hotspot to find out the origin of the disease for early intervention.Recently, the team led by Prof. HUANG Hefeng from Women’s Hospital at the Zhe...

Most cells in steady-state peripheral blood (PB) are lineage mature cells, which are differentiated from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) residing in the bone marrow (BM) niche. HSPCs are rare in number and hold self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation potential, regulating the balance and function of various hematopoietic cell subsets in the blood system. Decades of effort have led to successful transplantation of HSPCs (HSPCT) for the treatment of hematopoietic malignancies an...

According to the WHO’s ‘Estimates of the Global Burden of Foodborne Diseases’ report in 2015, approximately 600 million people (almost one in 10) worldwide fall ill from eating contaminated food annually; about 420,000 of these cases result in death each year. Moreover, the number of cases of illness caused by eating contaminated food continues to grow. As a result of globalized supply chains, food crosses numerous jurisdictions across many different interventions and stages, including p...

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a common, chronic, and devastating psychiatric disorder affecting 2-3% of the global population, characterized by recurrent episodes of depression and/or (hypo)mania, and accompanied by significant cognitive and social impairment, which brings a heavy disease burden to patients, families and society. However, the etiology of BD is complex, and the clinical diagnosis and treatment of BD faces great challenges.In recent years, the relationship between gut microbes and huma...

Meteorites, as “guests” from outers pace, are fragments of asteroids or comets. They contain a wealth of information about the early formation of the solar system, and scientists have collected and studied these “visitors from outer space” to uncover the formation and evolution of the early solar system.Recently, Prof. LIU Beibei from the School of Physics at Zhejiang University and his collaborators at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and Lund University in Sweden proposed ...
