The 11th Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)–Max Planck Society (MPG) Exploratory Round Table Conference (ERTC) concluded in Shanghai today, charting a course for intensified international collaboration in the rapidly advancing field of organoid research. Under the theme "Organoids, Self-organization and Engineering," the three-day meeting brought together over 60 scientists from China, Germany, and international partner institutions to define future research priorities and concrete collaborative actions.

A research team led by Prof. XU Zhiheng from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified Tapt1, together with its partner Suco, as important genes for brain development, which play a vital role in maintaining the balance between protein synthesis and degradation.
A joint research team from the Institute of Metal Research and Zhengzhou University has achieved power conversion efficiency surpassing 20% in flexible modules capable of withstanding a range of external stresses. The study highlights the use of single-walled carbon nanotubes as window electrodes for scalable flexible perovskite solar modules.
Researchers from WANG Guodong‘s lab at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences uncovered the long-elusive biosynthetic pathway of glycitein, a key soybean isoflavonoid, whoes production determines the plant’s resistance to Phytophthora sojae.
A research team led by the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with international partners, has released the strongest evidence to date of disk-jet co-precession in the TDE known as AT2020afhd—a long-predicted outcome of spacetime dragging caused by a spinning black hole.
Zhang Ganlin, a researcher at the Institute of Soil Science under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, received the 2025 Glinka World Soil Prize on Friday at the World Soil Day celebration held at the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome.
A new study by Chinese scientists has advanced understanding of the mechanism and impact of permafrost collapse, particularly thaw slumps, on the alpine ecosystem of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, according to the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources (NIEER) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Chinese scientists have identified a key mechanism that governs the function of plant stem cells — cells that enable plants to continuously generate new leaves, stems and flowers — a finding that could enable the improvement of crop yields, quality and resilience. The researchers found that the mechanical properties of the plant cell wall play a pivotal role in stem cell regulation.
Recently, researchers from the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics (LICP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully developed China's first adaptive hydrogel biomimetic suction disc. This breakthrough addresses key technological challenges in underwater grasping and fine manipulation, providing crucial technical support for related industrial upgrades.
