In the battle against tumors, researchers have made constant endeavors to unravel the enigma of the rapid proliferation of cancer cells from the metabolic distinction between normal and cancer cells, thereby curbing tumor growth through targeted therapy.The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1985 was awarded jointly to Michael S. Brown and Joseph L. Goldstein “for their discoveries concerning the regulation of cholesterol metabolism.” In normal cells, the “factory” of lipogenesis gen...

Two plastic “springs” are being tested for their tension. One of them snaps when it is stretched to 1.5 times its original length while the other remains intact even when it is stretched to twice its original length. They are made of the same material, but they are different from each other inthat the second spring has been “light-triggered”.Recently, the research team led by Prof. XIE Tao from the College of Chemical and Biological Engineering developed a topology isomerizable net...
