Expected to provide important information for developing treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, breast cancer and lung cancer Published in the world's top journal in the biophysics sector <Acta Crystallographica> [Jan 15, 2014] The research team of Professor Park, Hyun Ho (40) of the YU School of Biotechnology is receiving attention from academic circles by providing the cornerstone for developing breast cancer treatment. They revealed the trimeric structures of the 'TRAF4' proteins, which is known to cause breast and lung cancer. TRAF proteins act as a medium for sending cellular signals in the regulation of inflammation response. There are seven TRAF proteins from TRAF1 to TRAF7. It has been reported that when it operates abnormally in the inflammatory reaction adjustment process, it can cause various illnesses such as a variety of cancers, immunologic abnormalities, allergies, atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, obesity, etc. It is known that TRAF4 proteins play an important role in the fetal neurogenesis process. It has recently been reported that when there is an over expression of TRAF4 in the inflammatory reaction adjustment process, it can cause breast cancer and lung cancer, and thus the importance of TRAF4 proteins are being examined with interest by cancer and immunity researchers. At this point, Professor Park's research team became the first in the world to reveal the trimeric structure of the TRAF4 protein, turning on a green light for developing the breast cancer and lung cancer treatments. Professor Park, Hyun Ho, who led this research, said, "Still a lot of follow-up research is needed for the commercialization of the actual treatment," and added, "For this, multiple peptides that inhibit signal transduction to prevent the over expression of TRAF4 proteins in inflammatory reactions were made, and animal tests are currently being carried out to check if these peptides have treatment effects for not only breast and lung cancer, but also other neurodegenerative diseases." The research results were carried in the January 2014 issue of the <Acta Crystallographica Section D: Biological Crystallography>, the world's top academic journal on biophysics with an impact factor (IF) of 14.1. Professor Park who led the research placed his name as the corresponding author, while the primary author was Yoon, Jong Hwan (27, 4th term in master's degree course). In addition, the research results were also introduced in 'People brightening Korea' provided by the 'Biological Research Information Center (BRIC)'.

YU 'Department of Information and Communication Engineering, Department of Mobile Image & Motion Graphic Design, School of Music' Team The Excellent Award at the '11th Embedded SW Contest' hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy Developed high-quality 'Augmented Reality App' by utilizing their majors [Dec 18, 2013] YU student team won the excellent award at the '11th Embedded Software Contest' hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, demonstrating the power of convergence. The team included seniors in the Department of Information and Communication Engineering, Choi, Byeong-Il (25), Lee, Seung-Joon (24), Hahm, Hyung-Seok (24) and sophomores in the Department of Information and Communication Engineering, Kim, Gi-Tae (23) and Park, Yoon-Ki (22), and juniors in the Department of Mobile Image & Motion Graphic Design, Park, Da-Jeung (21) and Byun, Jeong-In (21), and a freshman in the School of Music, Cho, Hwan-Hee (21). Their team name is 'Beau. Korea'. By breaking down the walls between these seemingly irrelevant majors, they joined forces in the nation's only contest to discover and nurture the embedded software specialists, and took the greatest honors. This contest, which is co-hosted by the Korea Embedded Software and System Industry Association, National IT Industry Promotion Agency, and the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, was first announced on April 26 to which 2,566 people applied for. After 8 months of related education and technical support, the finals were held on November 19. A demonstration and presentation competition were held at the finals. In result, YU's 'Beau. Korea' won first place in the 'Smart Challenge Qualcomm Korea' sector, and they were awarded at the awards ceremony held at the Sangam-dong Nurikkumsquare in Seoul on the 5th. The 'Beau. Korea' team took on the 'Application and Program Development related to Augmented Reality' project. 'Augmented Reality' refers to showing virtual objects on top of the actual world that users see. By layering 3D images on actual images that the user is looking at, this technology brings down the distinction between the actual environment and virtual screen. The best known augmented reality technology is that which shows information on a screen such as store location and phone numbers by facing a smart phone camera in the vicinity. The title of their project work submitted was 'Bullet Mark'. They combined the paintball played in the real world with the FPS (First-Person Shooter) game played online. 'FPS game' is a type of shooting game where players engage in a weapon-based combat in a first-person view. The program that they developed is a mobile game where a smart phone is mounted on an actual model gun and virtual objectives are placed on the actual images seen by the smart phone camera, so that players can play the game looking at their smart phone screens while pulling the trigger. The success factor of the 'Beau. Korea' team was that students with various majors utilized their skills to enhance the quality of their project work. The engineering student was in charge of producing the actual model gun and developing the mobile application, while the design students configured highly perfected ideas through mobile image designs, and the music student composed own background music to heighten the tension of the game. Team leader Choi, Byeong-Il said, "When we were coming up with ideas, we started with just 5 students in the Department of Information and Communication Engineering. However, we felt the need to improve the sound and design in order to enhance the quality of the idea implementation, so we sought students from other departments. Sharing various ideas created a high synergy effect. I would like to thank the YU Center for Business Establishment Education who stepped in to make this combined team." Byun, Jeong-In, who majors in Mobile Image & Motion Graphic Design said, "I have tried simple app designs a lot in the past. However, brainstorming with students from other majors, coming up with ideas, and making actual mobile images was a great experience". Cho, Hwan-Hee, who majors in music composition said, "I usually work with classical music. However, I was able to enjoy a new experience by taking part in this IT software contest," and added, "Through this award, I found a new academic field that I never thought of in the past."
