"This work demonstrates for the first time that altering RNA splicing alone can stimulate significant maturation of human stem cell-derived heart cells," said senior author Professor Wang Yibin, Director of the Cardiovascular & Metabolic Disorders Programme at Duke-NUS.

"For the first time, we've shown that by merely altering RNA splicing, we can encourage the significant maturation of heart cells derived from human stem cells," said senior author Yibin Wang, director of the Cardiovascular & Metabolic Disorders Program at Duke-NUS.

"Europe and the United States are ramping up efforts to develop local battery makers, while protectionism has resurfaced," Miao Wei told the World Power Battery Conference in China's southwestern city of Yibin where he had an audience of policymakers and industry executives.

The Yibin plant is operating under a so-called closed-loop management that required workers to sleep near production lines and out of contact with others outside.

Battery maker CATL’s Yibin plant, which mainly supplies battery cells to Tesla Shanghai, had to shut part of its operations due to local power restriction policies in mid-August.
