Japanese scientists at RIKEN Institute and OrganTech identified a "third cell" crucial for fully reconstructing hair follicles, enabling the complete hair-growth cycle in mice. This discovery, published in Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, offers a path toward regenerative treatments for baldness and thinning hair.
Scientists at Tohoku University have found gold nanoparticles can exhibit fluid-like properties, changing structure in response to heat and pressure. This breakthrough could revolutionize biomedical engineering, drug delivery, and microfluidics.
A Japanese research group led by Shinya Narusawa of the University of Hyogo plans to conduct SETI observations in August 2027 toward the Sagittarius constellation, where the famous 'Wow! Signal' was detected in 1977. The group of about 10 astronomers and researchers will use the Misato Observatory in Wakayama prefecture to mark the 50th anniversary of the strongest candidate for an alien radio transmission ever detected.
