NYCU and NTUCH Develop Groundbreaking Diagnostic Pipeline to Predict Severity of Rare FOXG1 Syndrome
At the heart of every expecting parent lies a hope—to detect and address any health challenges their child may face as early as possible. Now, a pioneering collaboration between National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) and National Taiwan University Children’s Hospital (NTUCH) has taken a significant step toward that
NYCU and German Team Develop Light-Activated Nanopores for Smart Materials and Security Tech
Imagine flipping a molecular switch using nothing but light. A groundbreaking study led by Professor Jiun-Tai Chen from the Department of Applied Chemistry at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), in collaboration with Professor Patrick Théato from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany, has unveiled a novel
MAFLD Does More Than Harm the Liver: NYCU Study Shows 46% Spike in Heart Attack Risk
Forget what you thought you knew about fatty liver disease. It’s not just a concern for your liver; it’s intricately tied to your heart health. A groundbreaking study led by Professor Mei-Hsuan Lee of National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU)’s Institute of Clinical Medicine has, for the first time,
