Recently, the research team led by Prof. XU Xiao from the Zhejiang University School of Medicine published a research paper entitled “SP22 promotes hypoxia-induced hepatocellular carcinoma stemness by a HIF1α/USP22 positive feedback loop upon TP53 inactivation” in the journal of Gut.In this study, researchers established cell counting, migration, self-renewal ability, chemoresistance and expression of stemness genes to detect the stemness of HCC cells. They applied immunoprecipitati...

Researchers applied a biomineralization‐inspired technique to synthesize functional organic–inorganic fibers that are structurally complex and, furthermore, industrially manufacture spider silk fibers (SSF)‐like artificial fibers with a supertoughness. Their findings are published in Advanced Functional Materials.Nature provides an infinite amount of inspiration for human beings and biomimicry is one of the most extensively used methods among scientists. Natural SSF are characterized by their su...
