Adipose tissue invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a crucial cell type for adipose tissue homeostasis in obese animals. However, heterogeneity of adipose iNKT cells and their function in adipocyte turnover are not thoroughly understood.

Intermediate-depth earthquakes are common in the double seismic structures of many subduction zones under high pressures (~1–4 GPa).

Optical vector vortex beams provide additional degrees of freedom for spatially distinguishable channels in data transmission.

Structural and mechanistic studies on human odorant receptors (ORs), key in olfactory signaling, are challenging because of their low surface expression in heterologous cells.

Present-day African cattle retain a unique genetic profile composed of a mixture of the Bos taurus and B. indicus populations introduced into the continent at different time periods.

Electrophysiological recording technologies can provide valuable insights into the functioning of the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Sampling is one of the most important and fundamental processes in field biology. Among many sampling methods in entomology, window traps have long been considered one of the most effective and standardized methods.

PIN-FORMEDs (PINs) are auxin efflux carriers that asymmetrically target the plasma membrane (PM) and are critical for forming local auxin gradients and auxin responses.

Lithium-metal-halides have emerged as a class of solid electrolytes that can deliver superionic conductivity comparable to that of state-of-the-art sulfide electrolytes, as well as electrochemical stability that is suitable for high-voltage (〉4 volt) operations.

SNU-KAIST researchers highlighted the pivotal role of the protein RTN4IP1 in Coenzyme Q (CoQ) synthesis, crucial for cellular energy production. Using proximity labeling technology, they pinpointed RTN4IP1's location and its involvement in CoQ biosynthesis.

Prof. Heonsu Jeon’s research team at SNU has developed a structurally engineered phosphor platform based on simple and compact resonant cavity, which greatly enhances color conversion efficiency, effectively requiring far less phosphor material than the structureless counterpart.

In this study, acetylated soda lignin (ASL) and non-acetylated soda lignin (SL) were extruded with PLA in different concentrations to fabricate antioxidant polylactic acid (PLA)/lignin composites for potential biomedical applications. After lignin acetylation, good compatibility was observed between PLA and lignin in SEM images.
