Li-ion battery electrodes exhibit a poorly understood resistance increase during high-rate lithiation, which is rarely observed during delithiation. This hysteresis, often attributed to the solid-state diffusion effect, has not been clearly understood.

Stress-induced release of glucocorticoid is an important amyloidogenic factor that upregulates amyloid precursor protein (APP) and β secretase 1 (BACE1) levels. Glucocorticoid also contributes to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by increasing ER-mitochondria connectivity, in which amyloid β (Aβ) processing occurs rigorously because of its lipid raft-rich characteristics.

Synthetic plastic is used throughout daily life and industry, threatening organisms with microplastic pollution. Polystyrene is a major plastic polymer and also widely found sources of plastic wastes and microplastics.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replicates in human cells by interacting with host factors following infection.

Telomere length must be maintained in actively dividing cells to avoid cellular arrest or death.

Researchers have successfully mapped the dog epigenome and created a high-quality reference map driving new understanding and opening new avenues for functional genomics research in dogs and comparative studies with humans and other species.

CsV3Sb5 exhibits superconductivity at Tc = 3.2 K after undergoing intriguing two high-temperature transitions: charge density wave order at ~98 K and electronic nematic order at Tnem ~ 35 K.

There are currently no disease-modifying therapeutics for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Although extensive efforts were undertaken to develop therapeutic approaches to delay the symptoms of PD, untreated α-synuclein (α-syn) aggregates cause cellular toxicity and stimulate further disease progression.

Lysosomal dysfunction is a pathogenic link that may explain the causal relationship between diabetes and Alzheimer disease; however, there is no information about the regulation of hyperglycemia in neuronal lysophagy modulating lysosomal function.

Some nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) indirectly detect pathogen effectors by monitoring their host targets.

Professor Kim Do-Nyun's research team from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Seoul National University has succeeded in developing DNA nanotechnology, which allows for the folding or unfolding of a single structure into various shapes, harnessing the paper-folding mechanism.

The number of sequenced viral genomes has surged recently, presenting an opportunity to understand viral diversity and uncover unknown regulatory mechanisms.
