A promising new mRNA medicine for EBV-associated cancers such as NPC
Our researchers collaborated with @jacksonlab to develop a new #EBV – targeted #mRNA lipid nanoparticle to treat #nasopharyngeal #carcinoma (#NPC). They observed promising outcomes in mouse model. bit.ly/4c6zJsx 📖 @NatureComms : bit.ly/4bdT0ae @albertwcheng
Happy new year 2025 from Hong Kong! #NewYear2025 #hongkong #fireworks #Countdown
Should generative AI like ChatGPT be banned, partly or completely, in writing of a reference letter?
Both my patience and humanness being tested. Seconds turn into minutes turn into hours…
Even Costco make it difficult to cancel membership over the phone despite stating it can be done over the phone. No option for account cancellation. You need to choose sth like "help w/ ordering online" to "trick" the automatic phone system to hand the call over to real person..
We developed the ecTag method to visualize ecDNA in live cells (see Yi et al, Cancer Disc 2021). Now, first author (and soon faculty member) @_eunhee_yi_ has put together a detailed guide: sites.google.com/view/ectagmeth….

Today is Independence Day and the 6th anniversary since I came to the United States. I am thrilled to share that I will start my independent career as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology at MSU starting in January 2024 🥳 yilaboratory.com
Our RNA operating system “CREST” led by @liu_zukai is now online. CREST enables multitasking RNA-level operations in parallel to DNA OS Casilio. #CRISPR #RNA #transcriptome #technology #genome academic.oup.com/nar/article/do…
Wow
Since the discovery of CRISPR-Cas systems, people have wondered if a similar type of system exists in eukaryotes. Today, we report in @Nature the characterization of Fanzor, a eukaryotic RNA-guided system that can be reprogrammed for human genome editing. nature.com/articles/s4158…
Very talented PhD student @liu_zukai gave a talk at an important conference! Paper will be online soon! Stay tuned!
Very happy to share our new multiple functional RNA editing tool by #CRISPR from @albertwcheng lab to the RNA community. Really enjoy all the talks and poster sessions today. Amazing science is happening here.
