However, tens of thousands of DNA lesions occur in our bodies every day. In particular, if “apurinic/apyrimidinic sites” (AP sites, damaged sites where one letter of DNA information has been erased) are not properly repaired, they can lead to cancer and aging.

Korean researchers have discovered for the first time in the world that '13-HODE'—a substance produced when fatty acids, which are abundant in vegetable oils, are metabolized in the body—binds directly to mTOR and acts as a 'natural brake' that suppresses cancer c

<(From Left) Professor Seung Jun Hwang, Professor Jaeyune Ryu> Korean researchers have developed a new catalyst design technology that can improve the performance of batteries and hydrogen fuel cells while reducing energy loss. KAISTannounced on the 1st of June that a research team led by Professor Seung Jun Hwang of the Department of Chemistry, through joint research with Professor Jaeyune Ryu’s team from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Seoul National

<(From Left) Dr. Da-Hee Ahn, Distinguished Professor Sang Yup Lee> Nylon is a representative plastic material used throughout our daily lives, from clothing to automobiles. However, most of its raw materials have been produced through petrochemical processes, resulting in large carbon emissions. KAIST researchers have developed a technology that can produce key nylon precursors in an eco-friendly way using microbes. KAIST (President Kwang Hyung Lee) announced on the 31st of May that a
