Cholesterol-enriched exosomes merged with the cell surface. Credit: Gan’s lab RNA interference (RNAi) technology has gradually become a cutting-edge technology for treating diseases such as genetic disorders and cancer due to its huge potential in gene expression regulation. However, the efficient delivery and safety of short interfering RNA (siRNA) remain key challenges for its clinical…

Diagram showing the processes of how organic matter was formed on early Mars. ©Shungo Koyama Although Mars is currently a cold, dry planet, geological evidence suggests that liquid water existed there around 3 to 4 billion years ago. Where there is water, there is usually life. In their quest to answer the burning question about…
