This research investigates metabolic differences in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to predict breast cancer recurrence. Using gene expression data and computational modeling, it identifies increased fatty acid synthesis as a potential biomarker of…

This research reimagines entrepreneurship education as solution-driven rather than profit-focused. The Citizenship Entrepreneurial Education Program integrates empathy, soft skills, and design thinking to empower youth to address real-world…

This research investigates why cancer rarely metastasizes to the heart using a microfluidic organ-on-chip model. By comparing cancer cell migration across tissues, it finds reduced spread in the presence of heart tissue, potentially due to…
2025
This research develops a gene-engineered safety switch for stem cell-derived heart cell transplants to prevent arrhythmias. The drug-activated mechanism allows selective control of transplanted cells during early integration. This approach aims to…
2025
This research reframes standardized sports images as functional identity documents, showing how athlete portraits in media resemble passport-style photography and encode biometric and national data. Tracing their origins to 19th-century portraiture…

This research improves hydrogen production by optimizing the pore structure of catalysts used in water electrolysis. Using X-ray imaging and modeling, it identifies how nanoscale pore size and distribution affect water interaction and efficiency.…

This research shows that graded written reflections in work-integrated learning lead students to censor their experiences, limiting learning. Interviews reveal that meaningful reflection occurs through informal conversations and relationships.…

This research shows that breast luminal cells depend on the amino acid glutamine for growth, unlike basal cells. By removing glutamine, luminal cell growth stops, suggesting a metabolic vulnerability. These findings indicate that targeting nutrient…
