The research team has focused in recent years on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of age-related osteoarthritis and developing potential therapeutic strategies, resulting in multiple published findings.
This study is the first to reveal hazardous air pollutants emitted from night markets affect the indoor air quality and lung functions of children. PM1 and PM2.5 concentrations were significantly higher during opening days than during closing days.
The Innovative Nanomedicine Laboratory applies advanced nanotechnology to tackle contemporary medical challenges through creative material design and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Professor Ya-Ling Hsu (Distinguished Professor, College of Medicine) received the 2025 Outstanding Research Award, while Associate Professor Wei-Peng Li and Professor Kumar (College of Life Science) were honored with the 2025 Young Outstanding Research Award.
The team is dedicated to liver disease research and is responsible for developing national treatment guidelines for hepatitis C in Taiwan, as well as participating in the formulation of clinical guidelines by the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL).
This study used microextraction to extract metformin from human plasma and blood glucose test strips, followed by detection using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Under optimized microextraction conditions and using environmentally friendly alkalis and solvents, this method requires only 10 µL of human plasma and a small blood glucose test strip for metformin analysis.
A series of studies further investigated cognitive and changes of executive function across early and late luteal phases of menstrual cycle. Women with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) showed significant impairments in executive function and emotion regulation during both early and late luteal phases.
Researchers have developed a rapid, AI-powered blood test that can detect metabolic syndrome and measure key blood fats in just 10 min, using only a tiny drop of blood and no need for chemical reagents.
