Date Time Share HKUMed discovers a novel mediator of liver fibrosis and its underlying mechanism that can be a new therapeutic target HKUMed discovers a novel mediator of liver fibrosis and its underlying mechanism that can be a new therapeutic target. The research was led by Dr Ruby Hoo Lai-chong (second from left), Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy, HKUMed and Co-investigator of State Key Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, HKU. Dr Wu Xiaoping (second from right), post-doctoral fellow, Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy, HKUMed is the first author. O...

 E-Mail IMAGE: Mole fraction along the reaction time (s) calculated by the reactor simulation. The inlet gas consisted of CH4, O2, and He (as inert gas). The total pressure was set to... view more  Credit: Atsushi Ishikawa Japanese researchers have developed a simulation method to theoretically estimate the performance of heterogeneous catalyst by combining first-principles calculation (1) and kinetic calculation techniques. Up to now, simulation studies mainly focused on a single or limited number of reaction pathways, and it was difficult to estimate the efficiency of a catalytic ...

Except for the AlN buffer layer, no strain removal layer is... view more  Credit: Liwen Sang Liwen Sang, independent scientist at International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics, National Institute for Materials Science (also JST PRESTO researcher) developed a MEMS resonator that stably operates even under high temperatures by regulating the strain caused by the heat from gallium nitride (GaN). High-precision synchronization is...
