Jian-Hong Fang & Shi-Mei Zhuang's group identifies a novel mitochondrial micropeptide associated with liver cancer metastasis
A large number of small open reading frames (sORFs) are predicted to exist in the transcripts previously annotated as non-coding RNAs or untranslated regions of protein-coding genes. Emerging evidence show that sORFs may encode micropeptides with less than 100 amino acids. To date, only a small fraction of the putative micropeptides has been functionally characterized. More extensive investigat...

Professor Mong-Hong Lee and Dr. Qingxin Liu's group discovered new target for colorectal cancer intervention
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a genetic disease with accumulated genetic alterations during the progression and invasion. CRC is highly aggressive and is the third leading malignance in the world population, and its incidence has been a health care challenge. Thus, there is an urgent need to identify more molecular biomarkers for CRC. Also, it is critical to explore the molecular mechanisms involv...
