In recent years, significant progress has been made in gene therapy for genetic diseases. In particular, the ex - vivo gene therapy strategy based on lentiviral vectors has been successfully applied to diseases such as severe combined immunodeficiency caused by adenosine deaminase deficiency (ADA - SCID). However, existing therapies still face challenges such as high toxic side effects of chemotherapy pre - treatment, complex operations, and high costs, and have limited efficacy for diseases involving multiple tissues.

A Russian research team has recently published a groundbreaking achievement. By combining density functional theory (DFT) calculations with experimental verification, they successfully uncovered the molecular mechanism of sucrose molecules in cryopreservation, presenting a brand - new strategy for optimizing the freeze - drying process of biological samples and for biological cryopreservation. This research not only resolves the long - standing problem of ice - crystal damage that has troubled cryobiology but also initiates an interdisciplinary research paradigm of "theoretical calculations guiding experimental design".

On June 25, 2025, the team led by Professor Wang Huiying and Dr. Jin Bo from Shenzhen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine collaborated with Shandong Yinfeng Life Science Research Institute to develop the "ovarian dual activation" technology. Through this technology, patients with POI (primary ovarian insufficiency) underwent intra - operative freeze - thaw activation of ovarian tissue. After intra - operative transplantation, a baby was born, and both the mother and the baby are healthy and safe.

Recently, the team led by Alison Marsden from Stanford University in the United States published a significant breakthrough in the journal Science. They successfully developed a computational model that can rapidly design the vascular network for 3D - printed organs. This technology is expected to greatly reduce the manufacturing time of artificial organs and offer new solutions to the problem of organ transplantation shortage.

In June 2025, the team led by Liu Jia from Harvard University published a groundbreaking study in the journal *Nature*. They developed an ultra - flexible brain - computer interface device, which for the first time achieved non - invasive, high - resolution recording of neural electrical activities during the development of the vertebrate embryonic brain. This opens up a new way to understand the brain construction mechanism and the origin of neurodevelopmental diseases.

Milestone! A Chinese Scientist Team Unveils a New Approach to Anti - aging and Lifespan Extension
Recently, the research group led by Liu Guanghui from the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with the teams of Wang Si from Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, and Qu Jing from the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, published a significant research paper in the journal Cell. This study delved deep into the aging regulatory mechanism and used synthetic biology methods to reprogram the longevity gene pathway. As a result, engineered human anti - aging mesenchymal progenitor cells (SRC) with triple resistance to aging, stress, and malignant transformation were successfully constructed.
