A KAIST and Taiwanese research team has recently discovered strong evidence that Zinc is associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and improves social interaction in mouse models with ASD. The research findings, titled “Trans-synaptic zinc mobilization improves social interaction in two mouse models of autism through NMDAR activation,” were published in Nature Communications on May 18, 2015.

research KAIST Unveils New Possibilities for Treating Intractable Brain Tumors
< Photo 1. (From left) Professor Heung Kyu Lee, KAIST Department of Biological Sciences, and Dr. Keun Bon Ku > Immunotherapy, which enhances the immune system's T cell response to eliminate cancer cells, has emerged as a key approach in cancer treatment. However, in the case of glioblastoma, an aggressive and treatment-resistant brain tumor, numerous clinical trials have failed to confirm their efficacy. Korean researchers have recently analyzed the mechanisms that cause T cell exhaus
