The group of Zijian CHENG used the concept of rose petal surface structures to develop an elastomeric material which could be used as an elastic substrate for flexible conductive materials. Compared with conventional flat polydimethylsiloxane substrates, elastomeric...
The group of Weiqiao DENG has developed a perfluorinated conjugated microporous polymer (PFCMP with a super-hydrophobic surface area, which absorbs a wide range of organic solvents, oil, dyes and heavy metal ions with very good adsorption capacity, adsorption kinetics...
By epigenetic analysis of genomes of silkworm-related insects, the group of Wen WANG at the CAS Institute of Zoology has generated evidence that disparate features of silk—coloration, retention, strength—are likely not only due to silk proteins, but also to the...
Ping HU and colleagues have identified the presence of T cells as critical for prolonged muscle stem cell expansion. By analyzing the the T cell cytokines responsible for this effect and adding them to muscle stem cell cultivations, they achieved 1018 fold cell...
