A research team led by Professor Sungsu Park of the School of Mechanical Engineering and Professor Byung Mook Weon of the School of Advanced Materials Science and Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) has developed a compact, centimeter-scale microfluidic “Herd-Immunity-on-a-Chip” platform that recreates key features of viral transmission in human societies within a controllable laboratory system.

A research team has developed an anticancer treatment platform that simultaneously targets cancer cells and the surrounding cells that support them while blocking communication between the two.

Ischemic stroke can leave lasting neurological damage after the initial vascular event, with oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, neuronal death and disruption of neural connectivity contributing to impaired recovery. Although current interventions provide partial protection, their ability to prevent delayed neuronal injury remains limited, highlighting a major barrier to functional recovery.

University of Manchester–led researchers have unveiled a roadmap for making computer-generated evidence trustworthy enough to help regulators decide whether medical devices are safe and effective, alongside laboratory and clinical evidence.
