Researchers from the NTU School of Biological Sciences (SBS) have demonstrated for the first time in multiple myeloma that a protein, p52, produced from the hyperactivation of a genetic signalling pathway known as NF-κB, reprogrammes DNA regions to express genes that...
Scientists from the NTU School of Biological Sciences (SBS) have discovered how a protein, Fn14, is behind the aggressive nature of triple negative breast cancer, and how understanding the genetic signalling pathways of this protein can open potential areas for...
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has deepened its collaboration with Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (BUCM) with a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed on 31 July 2024. Key initiatives under the MOU include: 1) Faculty Exchange: Both...
In this series, Science@NTU gets to know the 2024 CoS valedictorians. They give a quick overview of their time in CoS, and also offer a few words of advice on transitioning into a new phase of life. Next up, we have Bronson Lee from the School of Biological Sciences....
Scientists from the NTU School of Biological Sciences, led by Professor Lars Nordenskiöld, recently published their study in The Embo Journal on an essential protein, telomere repeat binding factor 2 (TRF2), that plays a critical role in stabilising and maintaining...
NTU SBS is proud to share that one of our undergraduate, Chester Ng has been awarded the Highly Commended Entrant of the 2023 Global Undergraduate Awards, under the category of Nursing, Midwifery & Allied Care. Cited as the ultimate championship of high-potential...
2 of our Ph.D students from Assistant Prof Wei Ma's lab published their papers in Plant Physiology in May and July this year. Yuzhou Yang first-authored “Transcription factor bZIP52 modulates Arabidopsis seed oil biosynthesis through interaction with WRINKLED1”...
Convocation season is here again! In this series, Science@NTU gets to know the 2023 CoS valedictorians. They give a quick overview of their time in CoS, and also offer a few words of advice on transitioning into the next phase of life. First up, we have Fiona Fan from the School of Biological Sciences.
A team of scientists from the NTU School of Biological Sciences have found that ponatinib, a drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia, has shown exceptional promise in stopping the growth of ALT-dependent cancerous cells.
A team of scientists from the NTU School of Biological Sciences have carried out research into how plants react to stressful conditions and devised a computational method that allows scientists to predict how plants will respond to complex environmental stresses. Their paper discussing their research and new computational method was recently accepted into the prestigious scientific journal, Nature Communications.
