A group of researchers from the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital and UNIST led by Professors Joo Hun Kang and Jinmyoung Joo, along with Professor Jae Hyuk Lee, have developed a novel technology that can eliminate agents that cause inflammation from extracorporeal blood.

A groundbreaking development in biomedical engineering has led to the creation of a human stomach micro-physiological system (hsMPS), representing a significant leap forward in understanding and treating various gastrointestinal diseases, including stomach cancer.

A research team, affiliated with South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) has successfully developed a biomimetic chip that combines organoid and organ-on-a-chip technologies to simulate the complex defense mechanisms of the human gastric mucosa.

- DGIST Professor Hongki Kang’s team developed technology for selective photothermal layer formation and a transparent electrode based on a fine inkjet printing solution process. - This has potential to efficiently measure various body signals through a flexible fine electrode array customized for patients. - The research results are published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.

A collaborative research team headed by Professors Lee Hong-kyung, Lee Yong-min, and Lee Ho-chun of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering, DGIST (President: Kuk Yang) created a new concept system that can significantly increase the stability and lifespan of next-generation batteries.
