Using high-throughput screening, we discovered that soybean isoflavone genistein (GEN) is a novel CB1 receptor antagonist that does not cross the blood-brain barrier, thereby avoiding CNS effects and psychiatric side effects. We further enhanced the water solubility and oral bioavailability of GEN through microbial fermentation. This strategy has been patented and can be used to treat cardiovascular diseases and has therapeutic potential for other diseases related to abnormal CB1 activation.

This chip achieves integrated functions for microfluidic operations, temp control, and capacitive sensing. Compared to PCB devices, this chip can integrate with systems through software, automatically sensing conditions and flexibly generating and manipulating different patterns according to various objectives, thus lowering the operational threshold. The device is small in size and low in cost ($0.1 per chip) and has already been practically applied in bio-detection experiments such as LAMP.

The most effective method to reduce carbon emission in a blst furnace is to use hydrogen, substituting coke, to reduce iron ore. However, the mechanism as well as kinetics of iron ore reduction by hydrogen is still not understood clearly that hinder the use of hydrogen in practice. We thus construction an in-situ chamber to faciliate synchrotron X-ray analyses under high temperature and hydrogen environment simultaneously. Result is of great help to control parameters of a blast furnace and reduce carbon emission by using hydrogen successfully.

Mental illnesses cause accelerated brain aging as they progress. Professor Albert Yang＇s team discovered distinct degeneration trajectories in different brain regions and developed a method to precisely quantify degeneration at various ages and stages of mental illness. This technique, applied to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder, establishes a platform for tracking personalized brain degeneration and is used in clinical services at Taipei Veterans General Hospital.
