A team of scientists from NTU SBS, led by Nanyang Assistant Professor Li Yinghui, have uncovered new areas along protein pathways in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas that are potential sites for targeted cancer treatments, thereby reducing the risk of cancer relapses or refractory occurrences in patients.
Since the first antibiotic penicillin was discovered, it has been an arms race between humans and the pathogens that cause disease. The World Health Organization lists antimicrobial resistance as one of the top public health threats facing humanity. Especially...

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), led by Associate Professor Gao Yonggui and Assistant Professor Ma Wei, have successfully bioengineered and improved a plant protein that is responsible for oil accumulation in plant seeds and edible nuts. Using their patent-pending method, plants which have the modified protein can accumulate up to 15 – 18% more oil in their seeds.
Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have found that a stress response in cells, when ‘switched on’ at a post-reproductive age, could be the key to slow down ageing and promote longevity.
To the naked eye, the surface of our skin and scalp generally appears clean and free of any other living organism. However, under the magnified scrutiny of a microscope, the surface of our skin is teeming with microscopic life. Our skin and scalp provide a rich...
