Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent malignant tumor of the digestive tract, and it is one of the leading cancers in terms of both incidence and mortality. Chemotherapy resistance presents a substantial challenge in cancer treatment and is a major contributor to treatment failure.On January 30th, researchers led by Chen Quan from the College of Life Sciences at Nankai University, Du Lei from the Institute of Zoology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Hu Gang from the School of Statistics
Professor Chen Quan’s research group from the College of Life Sciences of Nankai University, Professor Xiong Wei’s research group from the University of Science and Technology of China, and Professor Wang Yong’s research group from the College of Life Sciences of Zhejiang University jointly published an online paper entitled “PAFAH2 suppresses synchronized ferroptosis to ameliorate acute kidney injury” in the journal Nature Chemical Biology. The paper reported on the transmission factors and reg
The Chinese Chemical Society announced the list of fellows of the Chinese Chemical Society (FCCS) in 2023. Professor Pang Dai-Wen of the College of Chemistry of Nankai University was elected as a fellow.Professor Pang Dai-Wen has studied quantum dots (QDs) for 23 years. He has pioneered the live-cell synthesis of QDs and the corresponding QD labeling technology, and broken through the site-specific quantitative biolabeling of single viruses, realizing the acquisition and analysis of multiple wea
Grüneisen parameter as an important parameter in condensed matter has great significance for measuring thermodynamics, elasticity, and inelasticity of matter. In the study of properties of condensed matter at high temperature and high pressure, the Grüneisen parameter links the elastic and thermal properties, playing a crucial role in constructing the equation of state of matter and studying thermodynamics under high pressure. In the pressurization experiment, due to the slow pressurization rate

Recently, the team led by Professor Xu Wentao from the College of Electronic Information and Optical Engineering of Nankai University designed and performed proof of concept on an artificial intelligent cornea with tactile sensation, bringing the artificial cornea one step closer to the human cornea.In recent years, a range of artificial corneas, such as Boston-type cornea and MICOF-type cornea, have been applied to clinical treatment. These artificial corneas perform the functions of human corn
Recently, the latest research findingsin the realm of photo-triggered synergistic treatment of thrombotic diseases, conducted by Ji Qi, Deling Kong et al. from the State Key Laboratory of Medicinal Chemical Biology and the College of Life Sciences at Nankai University, were published in Nature Communications, a world-renowned journal, with the title “Near-infrared-II photoacoustic imaging and photo-triggered synergistic treatment of thrombosis via fibrin-specific homopolymer nanoparticles”. The
Recently, the team led by Professor Lei Wang of Nankai University discovered that three major meningitis-causing bacteria exploit the same mechanism to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and illustrated the molecular mechanism in detail. Bacterial meningitis has a high fatality rate and serious sequela, and lacks specific treatment methods. The research team revealed for the first time the mechanism by which bacteria penetrate the BBB, and this is of great significance for meningitis preve
The latest research results made by Nankai University were published online in top international journal Scienceunder the title of “Self-sustaining personal all-day thermoregulatory clothing using only sunlight”. This is the second Sciencepaper published by Nankai University in less than a month, and it is also the third Sciencepaper published by the team led by Professor Chen Yongsheng from the College of Chemistry, Nankai University.The research team led by Professor Chen Yongsheng from the Co
Recently, progress was made in addressing the basic problems of quantum physics by the research team led by Professor Jingling Chenfrom the Theoretical Physics Division of the Chern Institute of Mathematics at Nankai University. The research team first proposed the concept of spin angular-momentum waves internationally, and designed athoughtexperimentto generate and detect the spin angular-momentum waves, based on the oscillation of spin angular momentum of Dirac electron. On December 28, 2023,
In recent years, haploid stem cells derived from mammals have shown significant advantages in screening key functional genes due to single-genome and self-renewal features. Research Fellow Shuai Ling from the State Key Laboratory of Medicinal Chemical Biology, College of Pharmacy at Nankai University has been working in the field of haploid stem cell and genetic screening research for more than ten years. He has successively developed various types of lineage-specific haploid stem cells, includi
The 2023 World Intelligent Manufacturing Conference convenedrecently in Nanjing. “World’s Top Ten Scientific and Technological Advances in Intelligent Manufacturing in 2023” and “China’s Top Ten Scientific and Technological Advances in Intelligent Manufacturing in 2023” were officially announced at the meeting.
