Innovation in Breast Cancer Treatment Technology
Breast cancer, even if the prognosis is favorable, results in psychological wounds, such as a sense of loss. This is because often some part of the breast needs to be resected in order to remove cancer cells during treatment. Many patients choose to artificially reconstruct their breasts, but side effects such as cancer recurrence and metastasis also appear. A new technology to treat breast cancer from early diagnosis to drug delivery, treatment, prevention of recurrence, and restoration of ..

To Protect Stored Food from Mites
Professor Hoi-Seon Lee (Bioenvironmental Chemistry) and team succeeded in separating and refining new biomaterial that can control mites in stored foodusing forget-me-not flowers (myosotis arvensis).Stored food mites are distributed in large quantities in foods, food storages, grain storages, hay, and grain flour,causing food spoilage. They also cause allergic diseases such as bronchitis, asthma, and enteritis in food and grain handlers, which is an international problem, so the development of ..
