Prominent Results

A coastal site off Wei-An in Penghu is exceptionally diverse in the nudibranch composition. A total of 65 species (or 88% of the 74 species recorded in Penghu) of these highly colorful marine snails, which are considered as the undersea jewels by divers, have been recorded there. The research team has so far found about 230 species of nudibranchs, including 10 possible new species, for Taiwan and adjacent islands.

Prof. Jen-taie Shiea of NSYSU Chemistry Department developed a mass spectrometric ion source which could rapidly detect solid or liquid samples. It was also used for food security, biomarkers of disease, analysis of components in high-molecule chemical materials, and criminal investigation to eliminate the time consumption. In the future, this method may be modified as a live portable detector for rapid detection on terrorism prevention. (2008.01.18)

New strategy for Cancer Treatment
NSYSU-KMU Joint Research Center has novel findings for the mechanism of lymphatic cancer metastasis and therapeutic application. Dr. Wen-chun Hung of the center found that the protein product of RECK gene exhibited potent effect on the suppression of matrix metalloproteinase activity and attenuated metastasis of lung cancer cells; animal study verified the anti-cancer effect of this protein in vivo.
Dr. Hung¡¦s group also found that overexpression of a chemokine receptor CCR7 is critical for the invasion of breast cancer cells into lymph node. It is predictable that drugs, synthetic compounds or natural products which can repress CCR7 may inhibit breast cancer metastasis. (Released on 2008.05.28)
