When levels of the gene lipin1 are reduced, it triggers a cascade of cellular events that encourage the repair of damaged nerve fibres, known as axons.
The new platform's ability to process data locally, rather than externally, delivers faster computing, enhanced privacy, and reduced power consumption.
Microglia, the primary immune cells in the central nervous system, have been shown to play a crucial neuroprotective role in preventing axonal degeneration, a common consequence of spinal cord injury.
Hong Kong-led research unveils new methods for directional control of grain boundaries in crystalline materials; this may lead to more energy-efficient processing techniques in materials science.
This interview with Faye Tsang is part of an ongoing series of articles about scientists' research and their approach to the communication of science.
This research from City University of Hong Kong uses tin oxide as an inorganic electron transport layer, which enhances thermal stability.
A new treatment strategy, led from Hong Kong, is effective against the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, recognised by the World Health Organisation as a significant global health threat.
This article is part of an ongoing series of interviews with scientists about both their research and their approach to the communication of science.
Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong were able to see for the first time how the endoplasmic reticulum can rapidly respond to mechanical stimuli by releasing calcium ions, a critical process for cell signalling and function regulation.
Hydrogen is considered a promising zero-emission fuel for the future. Researchers at Hong Kong University have developed improved technology that could increase the range of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
Many Croucher scholars spend a lot of time in the laboratory. We spoke to Raphaella So about the rewards of conducting experiments.
Sunlight is essential for public health. A new study measures how cloud cover and tall buildings reduce the amount of sunlight exposure in cities.
