Gang 's return as exorcist is mishmash of the best parts of his previous roles 'Dr. Cheon and the Lost Talisman' (CJENM) Actors often say they strive to show a different side of themselves in their latest films. But actor Gang Dong-won's performance as Dr. Cheon in 'Dr. Cheon and the Lost Talisman,' seems very familiar, as if he intended to act like he has done in the past. His comical swordsmanship and his impactful role as Dr. Cheon is reminiscent of his characters in 'Jeon Woo-chi: The Taoist Wizard' (2009) and 'Kundo: Age of Rampant' (2014).

【時報編譯張朝欽綜合外電報導】美國藥廠默沙東(Merck & Co)在周日表示，將斥資108億美元收購Prometheus生物科學；默沙東主要想收購一種具有美好前景的治療潰瘍性結腸炎和克羅恩氏病(Crohn)的實驗性藥物，並且擴大在免疫學領域的業務。 默沙東將以每股200美元的價格收購加州的生物技術公司，這比Prometheus在上周五的每股114.01美元收盤價，溢價75%。Prometheus專門從事於免疫性疾病的治療。 默沙東執行長Robert Davis在接受訪問時說，Prometheus用於治療潰瘍性結腸炎、克羅恩病和其它自身免疫疾病的藥物PRA023，對於默沙東來說，該藥可能是價值數十億美元的產品。執行長補充說，該藥最近發布的二期臨床試驗結果，令人振奮，也帶動了公司的收購決定。 Davis說：「我們關注他們的臨床開發專案已經有一段時間了」。 執行長說，如果交易能在今年第三季如期完成，那麼公司可能在今年第四季或2024年第一季開始針對該藥的潰瘍性結腸炎後期研究。 Davis將這筆交易比擬為2021年收購Acceleron，後者讓默沙東迅速擴展了心血管藥物的業務。 去年夏天

MicroRNAs are small molecules that regulate gene activity by binding to and destroying RNAs produced by the genes. More than 60% of all human genes are estimated to be regulated by microRNAs, therefore it is not surprising that these small molecules are involved in many biological processes including diseases such as cancer. To discover the function of a microRNA, it is necessary to find out exactly which RNAs are targeted by it. While such methods exist, they require a lot of material typically in order of millions of cells, to work.
