The Taiwan–Japan Collaboration Research Team, formed by Assistant Professor Ming-Chia Li of the Department of Biological Science & Technology at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Associate Professor Tomoyasu Hirai of the Osaka Institute of Technology, and Professor Teruaki Hayakawa of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, has synthesized and developed a stereoregular acrylic polymer material containing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) through molecular design. Using high-temperature charring, the team successfully created silicon dioxide supramolecular helical structures, the line width of which is less than 1 nm, that demonstrates outstanding optical activity. Their findings are presented in the article entitled “Chiral Silica with Preferred-Handed Helical Structure via Chiral Transfer, ”published on April 1, 2021 in the American Chemical Society journal JACS ...
The Taiwan–US Collaborative Research Team, comprising researchers at Taipei Veterans General Hospital and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, as well as Shu Chien, former academic at the University of California San Diego, has made a groundbreaking discovery: mRNA methylation plays a vital role in the development of coronary atherosclerosis. Inhibition of methyltransferase through gene therapy led to the prevention of intravascular inflammation and atherosclerosis. The findings provide new preventive opportunities for coronary atherosclerosis and are presented in a paper published in February 2021 in Vol. 118 of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. Coronary atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by blood flow blockage from the formation of plaques, ...
