Uncovering the secret of RNA paves the way for drug discovery for Covid-19
10 Aug 2020 Uncovering the secret of RNA paves the way for drug discovery for Covid-19
A research led by Dr Ming Chan, Dr Jian Yan and Dr Liang Zhang has developed a new method for identifying binding proteins of non-coding RNAs in living cells. The findings can be applied in cancer diagnosis and stem cell research, and may even help to identify potential antiviral drug targets to combat Covid-19...
城大精準技術分選癌細胞 CityU’s ground-breaking technology for the accurate detection of cancer cells
31 Jul 2020 城大精準技術分選癌細胞 CityU’s ground-breaking technology for the accurate detection of cancer cells
Cancer cells can now be detected from 4 ml of blood in only five minutes. Cancer is the No. 1 "killer" in Hong Kong. On average, over 35 people have died per day from cancer in the past few years. Early detection is the key to save lives. Is there a way to detect cancer cells in the early stage for treatment? The research team at BMS has found a way...
CityU’s CRISPR-assisted novel method detects RNA-binding proteins in living cells
27 Jul 2020 CityU’s CRISPR-assisted novel method detects RNA-binding proteins in living cells
While scientists still don’t fully understand the diverse nature of RNA molecules, it is believed that the proteins binding to them, called RNA-binding proteins, are associated with many disease formation. A research led by Dr Jian Yan, Dr Liang Zhang and Dr Ming Chan has developed a novel detection method, called CARPID, to identify binding proteins of specific RNAs in the living cells...
Intracellular biopsy technique for fast microRNAs profiling in living cells
19 Jun 2020 Intracellular biopsy technique for fast microRNAs profiling in living cells
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are gaining more attention in researches of different human diseases (e.g. cancer) because changes in miRNA expression are frequently associated with abnormal cellular functions. To achieve fast and highly sensitive profiling of miRNAs, a research team from CityU has developed a novel intracellular biopsy technique that isolates targeted miRNAs from living cells within around 10 minutes by using diamond nanoneedles...
Data science and Covid-19: let the numbers talk
