Heavy Metal Sensing
VALUE PROPOSITION Heavy metal pollution in soils is widespread in the world, resulting from both natural sources and human activities (e.g., mining and smelting, industrial emission, fossil fuel combustion, etc.). Due to their toxicity, bioaccumulation, and environmental persistence, elevated levels of heavy metals in the environment pose major threats...

DNA Methylation Barriers
In normal differentiated cells, most of the genome is densely methylated, except CpG islands near promoters of actively transcribed genes. Maintaining this boundary between unmethylated promoter-associated and adjacent methylated regions is crucial as loss of segregation can lead to disease. Unfortunately, it is not clear where these boundaries are,...
