Arp 107, a pair of interacting galaxies, shines brightly in high-resolution infrared light. A collision, which occurred hundreds of millions ago, created a tenuous bridge of gas and dust that connects the two galaxies, and started a new wave of star formation that NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captures clearly.

A recent study study has revealed critical insights into the metabolic landscape of Artemisia annua, a plant essential for artemisinin production, the cornerstone of malaria treatment. Researchers investigated a mutant strain with developmental defects in glandular secretory trichomes (GSTs), which are vital for artemisinin synthesis. The study uncovered severe disruptions in the plant’s metabolic pathways, notably hindering artemisinin and other key secondary metabolites. These findings could pave the way for enhanced strategies to boost artemisinin yield, potentially transforming malaria treatment.

The Office of International Affairs and Global Networks at Chulalongkorn University, in collaboration with the Chulalongkorn School of Integrated Innovation (CSII) and the United Nations, co-hosted the Social Innovation Pitching Competition for the APRU SDG Education for Global Citizenship Program 2024 (APRU SDG4GC) on August 30, 2024, at the 4th floor meeting room, the Chaloem Rajakumari 60 Building (Chamchuri Building 10).
The Korean Studies Center, the Chula Institute of Asian Studies organized a seminar on “Korea’s Soft Power” on August 29, 2024, at the CU Social Innovation Hub, Visid Prachuabmoh Building. Professor Dr. Wilert Puriwat, Acting President of Chulalongkorn University presided over the opening ceremony.
A groundbreaking study using a tiny roundworm could pave the way for new treatments for neurodegenerative disorders. Researchers have linked the worm gene swip-10 to copper regulation – a vital element for brain health found in everyday items like wiring and cookware. Understanding the roles of swip-10 and MBLAC1, a protein involved in processing cellular materials, could lead to the development of effective medications and opens new avenues for advancing brain disease treatments.
The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) today announced the recipients of its 2024 research grants and fellowships, including awards co-sponsored by the American Cancer Society (ACS), the LUNGevity Foundation, the Melanoma Research Alliance (MRA), the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), the RTOG Foundation/NRG Oncology and AstraZeneca.
A recent study has uncovered a significant link between chronic exposure to air pollution and an increased risk of various arrhythmias, representing a pivotal advance in environmental health research.
Scientists have achieved a monumental breakthrough in the realm of potassium-based batteries by developing a dendrite-free metallic-potassium anode. This innovation stabilizes the anode, which is essential for enhancing battery safety and performance, and could pave the way for more efficient and reliable energy storage solutions.
