Recently, a research team from the Hefei Institute of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, CAS, developed a kappa opioid receptor (KOR) biased agonist with high efficacy and reduced side effects through structure-based rational design. The study was supported by the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF), including a 9.4 T magnetic resonance imaging system and an integrated experimental animal platform.
Recently, researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with the British Antarctic Survey and the University of Bremen, systematically investigated the sources of reactive bromine in the Arctic troposphere and their impact on atmospheric oxidative capacity in polar regions.
Recently, a research team led by Professor WANG Hongzhi from the Institute of Health and Medical Technology, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed a bioselective surface-enhanced Raman scattering chip, the BioGate SERS Chip, for rapid identification of malignant breast cancer margins during surgery.
Researchers from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Nanjing University and Yanshan University, have directly observed the Meissner effect in two-dimensional (2D) superconductors using a high-sensitivity magnetic measurement technique.
Recently, a research team led by Prof. LIU Qingsong at the Institute of Health and Medical Technology, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has discovered a new drug candidate that may help overcome chemotherapy resistance in small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
