Molecular Cell | Jinkai Wang's group developed a single-molecule m6A detection algorithm based on endogenous labeling to reveal the complexity of m6A on isomers

Eukaryotic pre-mRNA can be selectively processed to form different RNA isomers, which include variable splicing and variable caudation. In addition, the same gene also has variable promoters, thus producing RNA isomers with different 5 'ends.

Molecular Biology and Evolution | The team led by Chen Xiaoshu from the Zhongshan School of Medicine has put forward additional evidence supporting the hypothesis of X chromosome insensitivity.

A well-known controversy in evolutionary genetics is whether dosage compensation is required to address the gene dosage (X:AA) imbalance between the X chromosome and autosomes. ScRNA-seq data can provide in-depth insights into this issue at the single-cell level.

Metabolism | Wang Weidong and Li Chunling's Team Reveal That the Bile Acid Membrane Receptor TGR5 Can Regulate Renal ENaC to Improve Hypertension

  In recent years, salt-sensitive hypertension has become a significant public health issue. Salt-sensitive hypertension increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality.

American Journal of Hematology | Professor Huang Kai/Zhou Yi's team developed a new model for the recognition and prevention of thrombotic diseases based on multi-source data

  Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), has become one of the top three fatal cardiovascular diseases worldwide.

Cell reports | Yao Chengguo of our hospital and Ye Congting of Xiamen University report on the new universal function of the core splicing complex in maintaining full-length mRNA transcription

The classical molecular biological function of the five pre-mRNA splicing core snRNP complexes (U1, U2, U4, U5, U6) is the pre-mRNA splicing function of eukaryotes described in biochemistry textbooks.

Biomaterials | Professor Zeng Yuanshan's Joint Team Designs and Synthesizes Peripheral Nerve Tissueoids for Repairing 1cm Sciatic Nerve Defects

In recent years, with the development of synthetic biology technology, there have been reports of using synthetic brain organoids, spinal cord organoids, and spinal cord-like tissues to repair central nervous system injuries.

History

In 1866
American missionary physician John Glasgow Kerr established the first modern Western medical school in China at the Boji Hospital, which later evolved into the Medical College of Lingnan University.

In 1908
The Guangdong Guanghua Medical School was founded, which later developed into the Guangdong Guanghua Medical College.

In 1909
The Guangdong Public Medical School was established, which later became the Medical College of Sun Yat-sen University.

In 1953
The Medical College of Sun Yat-sen University and the Medical College of Lingnan University officially merged to form the South China Medical College.
In 1954
The Guangdong Guanghua Medical College was incorporated into the South China Medical College. In 1956, the South China Medical College was renamed Guangzhou Medical College.
 

In 1956
The South China Medical College was renamed Guangzhou Medical College.
In 1957
Guangzhou Medical College was renamed Sun Yat-sen Medical College.
In 1985
It was renamed Sun Yat-sen Medical University .

In 2001
The original Sun Yat-sen University and Sun Yat-sen Medical University merged to form the new Sun Yat-sen University, and the Zhongshan School of Medicine at Sun Yat-sen University was established.

1866 to 1952

Phase One: From the establishment of the Boji Medical School in 1866 to the period before the institutional adjustments in the early years of the Liberation.

1953 to 2001

Phase Two: From the institutional adjustments in the early years of the Liberation to the period before the merger of the two institutions in 2001.

2001 to Present

Phase Three: From the merger of the two institutions in 2001 to the present day.
