Research Conducted at Nanjing University Has Updated Our Knowledge about Biotechnology (Tree Knowledge Structure for Better Insight: Capturing Biomedical Science-technology Knowledge Linkage With Mesh).

A recent study conducted at Nanjing University in the People's Republic of China has focused on measuring the knowledge linkage between science and technology (S&T) within the field of biotechnology. The research introduced a novel method based on a tree semantic structure to quantify this linkage, revealing a stronger connection between S&T in recent years compared to the early 2000s. The study also found that patents tend to include broader concepts, while scientific publications focus more on specific concepts related to diseases, equipment, and healthcare. This research enriches our understanding of S&T knowledge linkage and provides insights into evolving patterns within the biomedical domain. [Extracted from the article]
