Jul 02, 2026Scientists Reveal Key Mechanism Behind Age-related Decline in Brain Vascular FunctionIn a study published in Neuron, a team of researchers led by Researchers FANG Cheng and MA Yinzhong from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences un... As people age, many of them experience memory decline, slower cognitive processing, and a higher risk of cerebrovascular disease and cognitive impairment. In aging research, a major question is whe... -
Jun 12, 2026Disrupting Liver-Bone Marrow Tissue-Cartilage Crosstalk to Alleviate OsteoarthritisIn a study published in Bone Research, a team led by Prof. GUAN Min from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, revealed... Osteoarthritis affects nearly 500 million individuals worldwide, and no disease-modifying pharmacotherapies are currently available. This disease has long been viewed as a localized joint disorder ... -
