HKUST researchers reveal RNA elements that enhance the cleavage of pre-miRNAs/shRNAs by DICER

A research team led by scientists from the HKUST has revealed how secondary structure RNA elements control the cleavage activity of the DICER enzyme in both pre-miRNA and short-hairpin RNAs, improving the understanding of the DICER cleavage mechanism and providing a foundation for the design of accurate and efficient short-hairpin RNAs for gene-silencing.

HKUST and UChicago researchers find new ways of leveraging topological defects in liquid crystals to make “computer”

Researchers at the HKUST and the University of Chicago (UChicago) have shown for the first time how to design the basic elements needed for logic operations using a kind of soft material called liquid crystal, paving the way for a completely novel way of performing computations with potential applications in robotics.

HKUST scientists reveal the mechanism of skeletal muscle stem cell activation in muscle regeneration

A research team led by LIFS Assoc. Prof. Tom CHEUNG has discovered the constructive role of a protein in driving the skeletal muscle stem cell activation to repair muscle following damage, laying the foundation for further study in the mechanisms of stem cell quiescence-to-activation transition and stem cell-based muscle regeneration.

科大共同研究發現食鹽的拓撲特性及其角落電荷

粵語中有「我食鹽多過你食米」一說。雖然言者未必有意聽者亦無須太認真,但這句俗語卻的確帶出了「食鹽」在我們日常生活中的重要性。而你又可有想過,守候在餐桌角落,重要卻不起眼的食鹽,竟然會與前沿物理研究及抽象數學理論扯上關係呢?
