[Editor’s Note: On our march into an era of big data and artificial intelligence, there is hardly anything as exciting as a computer with such “brainpower” as to perform trillions of floating-point operations within the twinkling of an eye. A sci-fi as it sounds to be, what is described above has been realized by supercomputers applied to fields of weather forecasting, probabilistic analysis, nuclear test, and molecular dynamics simulation. Supercomputers are super-powerful. Fascinated by its...

Probiotics in the human body are known as the “guardians” of the intestinal tract. They play a crucial role in regulating the immune system and balancing the gut microbiota, thus able to promote nutrient ingestion and maintain the health of the intestinal tract.Taking probiotics orally has long been the most direct and convenient way of supplementation. However, the effect of probiotics is often reduced in the unique microenvironment of the inflammatory intestine.To this end, Prof. MAO Zhengwe...

Vaccines are essential for protecting human from infectious disease. They contain antigens derived from pathogens or synthetically created subunits that mimic the pathogen's components. Vaccines are generally classified as live attenuated vaccines that are engineered by reducing the replication of pathogenic strains, and non-live vaccines contain only pathogen components or killed whole organisms. However, there are concerns about reduced immunogenicity, safety, and time-consuming manufactur...

Despite the rapid development of medicine in recent years, people still “turn pale” when hearing doctors mention cancer. Many draw parallels between having cancer and a death sentence.In fact, not all cancers are life-threatening with high mortality rates. For example, there is a type of cancer that progresses so slowly that some patients may never even be aware of having it and will be living a normal life. Prostate cancer ranks sixth in the list of high-incidence diseases among men in China,...
