A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Yonging from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology has recently performed a comparative study of the postnatal development of brain between human, dog and mouse brain.

Prof. DING Jianping's group at Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Prof. ZHANG Tianlong's group at Shanghai University revealed the molecular mechanism of the S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) sensing of SAMTOR and its functional roles in mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling.

Researchers from Dr. ZHU Xueliang's lab at Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, found that abLIM1, a microfilament-binding and bundling protein, functions as a phase separation-dependent actin nucleator and microfilament crosslinker capable of self-assembling unique microfilament arrays.

Researchers from the Institute of Automation have developed an intelligent prediction model to achieve non-invasive screening of Down Syndrome using ultrasound image.

Researchers led by Prof. GUI Jianfang from the Institute of Hydrobiology and their collaborators recently revealed the evolutionary puzzle of unisexual reproductive success in hexaploid gynogenetic gibel carp (Carassius gibelio).

A recent study by scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences uncovered the distinct biogeographical patterns of bacterial communities and ARG (antibiotic resistance genes) profiles in inland waters of southeast China under low-anthropogenic impact at a large scale.

A recenty study by Chinese research team showed that ACC glutamate influences neural activities in a large-scale network during sensory integration, but the effects have opposite directionality between schizophrenia patients and healthy people.

Led by Prof. KONG Yazhuo and Prof. HU Li from the Institute of Psychology, researchers found that functional somatosensory cortex reorganization in patients with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) was associated with acute evoked as well as spontaneous pain, while the structural features were comparable between PHN patients and healthy controls.

Researchers reported comprehensive single-cell transcriptomic atlas of pharaoh ant brains, which revealed the different anatomical features and brain cellular compositions across castes in a pharaoh ant colony, and reported the brain cellular dynamics accompanying the reproductive maturation of an ant queen and interrogated the neural mechanisms underlying its remarkable fecundity and longevity phenotypes.

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) tried to investigate water uptake dynamics and interspecific water interactions for three types of rubber-based agroforestry systems using intercropped tea (Camellia sinensis) and orange (Citrus reticulata).

A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Quanbin from the Institute of Oceanology performed a comparative study of the immunomodulatory activities of six different fucoidans from Saccharina japonica and explored their association with class A SRs (SR-A).

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden tried to identify the relationship between body size and soil community assembly in a hyper-diverse tropical seasonal forest ecosystem located in the Xishuangbanna region showing high biodiversity in China. They wanted to know whether multitrophic soil microbiota community assembly in tropical seasonal rainforest tends to be deterministic with increasing body size at a local scale.
