A Quicker Way to Find and Treat Blood Clots
It is no exaggeration to say that a thrombus, the clotted mass of blood in non-interrupted vessels, attached to the vessel wall, is like a “time bomb” as we cannot predict when and where it forms, leading people to die by obstructing the flow of blood. Therefore, it is essential to rapidly diagnose and treat thrombosis, the formation process of blood clots in the non-interrupted cardio-vascular system, to minimize the disorders associated with the disease, and protect life. CBNU professor ..

CBNU Develops Omega-3 Mass Production Technology
Widely used as a nutritional supplement, omega-3 fatty acid (also known as omega-3) has been extracted mostly from fish oil. However, fish-based omega-3 is subject to oxidation when refined, and a lot of marine life is at high risk of heavy metal contamination due to the water pollution.Krill used to be the only source of omega-3 that contained astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is an antioxidant 300 times more powerful than vitamins A and E, 47 times more powerful than lutein, which is good for eye heal..
