Press Releases  Events  Opportunities  More Press Releases Neoself-antigens induce autoimmunity in lupus By Osaka University Researchers from Osaka University found that T cells recognize neoself-antigens––abnormal, unfolded host proteins presented by major histocompatibility complex II (MHC-II) lacking the invariant chain––as non-self antigens, leading to the development of autoimmunity. Weekly News Bites: A brain-like computer, asthma and diabetes, and a daring digestive escape. By Asia Research News Asia Research News monitors the latest research news in Asia. Some highlights that caught our attention this week are a computer chip inspired by our brains, the potential link between asthma and diabetes, and how Japanese eels flee their predators after being swallowed. Erbium Doping Enhances the Oxygen Evolution Performance of Cobalt Oxide in Acidic Medium By Tohoku University The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is an electrochemical process in which water or hydroxide ions are oxidized to produce oxygen gas, playing a crucial role in water splitting and energy conversion. New proteins involved in regulating the cell membrane By Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) at Kyoto University A better understanding of how cells regulate their membranes could lead to new treatments for diseases such as epilepsy and anemia. Energy transmission in quantum field theory requires information By Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) An international team of researchers has found a simple relationship between the rates of energy and information transmission across an interface connecting two quantum field theories. CRISPR/Cas9 modifies euglena to create potential biofuel source By Osaka Metropolitan University Mutant microalgae produce wax esters for biofuel feedstock with improved cold flow Lingnan University in Hong Kong hosts Campus Life Carnival as a part of the New Student Orientation 2024 By Lingnan University (LU) To help freshmen acclimatise to their new environment and make the most of university, Lingnan University organised the Campus Life Carnival on 11 September being a part of the New Student Orientation. BMI's relation to cancer therapy mortality risks not so straightforward By Osaka Metropolitan University Whether immunotherapy or conventional chemotherapy carries less mortality risk depends on BMI Smart supramolecular assemblies By Osaka University Researchers from Osaka University created 'smart' microparticles that self-assemble in response to the addition of a specific molecule. This work can help explain the behavior of biomolecular complexes, as well as pave the way for novel polymers that respond to their environment. "Fussy" molecules prefer one direction over the other By Osaka University Researchers from Osaka University fabricated copolymers with chiral backbones based on indacenodithiophene. Spin-coated films of the copolymers behaved differently toward currents with opposite polarization, resulting in chirality-induced spin selectivity. Mirror, mirror, in my tank, who's the biggest fish of all? By Osaka Metropolitan University Cleaner wrasse check their body size before fights due to having their own mental representation Chromium Doping Enhances Catalyst Performance for Faster Oxygen Evolution By Tohoku University As global demand for clean energy solutions grows, the development of cost-effective and efficient catalysts will be pivotal in advancing renewable energy systems. Now, a group of researchers has made significant progress in this regard by employing chromium doping on transition metal hydroxides. The Mechanisms Behind Cobalt X-ide Electrocatalysts By Tohoku University How can we make certain electrochemical reactions faster and more efficient? Researchers at Tohoku University investigated the use of Co X-ides for the electrocatalytic hydrogenation of quinoline. The amazing healing abilities of a common immune cell type boosted by Treg By Osaka University Researchers from Monash University and Osaka University find that administering regulatory T cells (Tregs) to a tissue injury can promote healing. Driving the future of lithium batteries with edge ceramic-rich composite electrolytes By National Taiwan University Ceramic-rich composite electrolytes: An overview of the paradigm shift from high-performance lithium metal batteries to solid-state electrolytes Seventeen Lingnan University scholars recognised as National Best Scientists by Research.com By Lingnan University (LU) International academic website Research.com commends Lingnan University in their latest edition of 2024 Best Scientists. Molecular level changes translate to big efficiency gains for organic solar cells By Osaka University Researchers from Osaka University have designed and synthesized a new organic semiconductor for organic solar cells (OSCs).

Read all in the latest Editor's Choice. Researchers develop analytical pipeline to identify unexploited genes that hold research value By Hiroshima University Studied oxidative stress and Parkinson's disease as a case study AI-powered tool to detect hate speech in Southeast Asian languages By Singapore University of Technology and Design SUTD researchers developed SGHateCheck, the first functional test specifically tailored to evaluate hate speech in the multilingual environments of Singapore and the broader Southeast Asia. Strolling around a Singapore town: What makes a neighbourhood ideal for walking? By Singapore University of Technology and Design SUTD researchers delved into the lived experiences of Singaporeans including older adults to uncover key factors influencing their walking habits, which can guide urban planners in designing people-centric environments that promote active mobility. High sensitivity high throughput biosensor measures metabolite levels that indicate disease By Kanazawa University Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, develop a biosensor that improves sensitivity to 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MNA) in urine by orders of magnitude without the need for sample purification. Loss of skin's pigment-producing cells could be related to basement membrane disruption By Osaka Metropolitan University Suppression of an enzyme might allow melanocytes to recover Haseenain-e-Lucknow: How an Album Combined Mughal-era Aesthetics and Colonial Portraiture in 19th-century Awadh By MAP Academy A rare artefact of 19th-century tawaif culture, The Beauties of Lucknow is a fascinating photograph album from colonial South Asia. Compiled in 1874, it consists of 24 portraits of courtesans from Awadh in present-day Uttar Pradesh.
