Chinese scientists have developed a new method to improve wound dressings by enhancing their capacity for promoting blood coagulation and wound healing. Scientists from the Institute of Biophysics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of Science and Technology Beijing have changed the traditional structure of wound dressings by creating a kind of sponge with a three-dimensional layered nanofiber sponge.
The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) – a high-intensity proton accelerator-based stable neutron source – has now completed its first round of operations after officially passing national acceptance and opening to users last summer.
A couple of senior Chinese scientists donated their life savings of 1.5 million yuan (about 223,000 US dollars) to the education foundation of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences to establish a scholarship on Tuesday. Zheng Ruyong, an 88-year-old academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and her husband Huang He, also a scientist in his 90s, set up the scholarship to encourage young students to pursue scientific studies.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has announced the launch of the third journal in its Science Partner Journal program, Biomedical Engineering (BME) Frontiers, the official journal of Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SIBET CAS).
Chinese scientists have found a new therapeutic target for rejuvenating aging cells, shedding light on possible gene therapy for osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is characterized by the degeneration of articular cartilage, which seriously affects the quality of life of the elderly. Aging and mesenchymal stem cell attrition are considered the main causes of osteoarthritis.
Researchers from China and the United States have created transgenic monkeys carrying a human gene that is important for brain development, and the monkeys showed human-like brain development. Scientists have identified several genes that are linked to primate brain size.
