Dr. SHUI Guanghou's team from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology has recently revealed perturbations in a diverse array of metabolic pathways across human aging, providing clues and guidance on the prevention and treatment of these age-related diseases.

A research team led by Dr. CAI Huajian from the Institute of Psychology has recently conducted a comprehensive reexamination on how Chinese happiness has changed over the past decades and the potential role of economic growth. And they found an upward trend of Chinese happiness since 1990. Moreover, economic growth is the Granger cause of the increase in Chinese happiness.

A research team led by Prof. SHA Zhongli from the Institute of Oceanology has revealed the evolution of mitochondrial gene order (MGO) among thoracotremes, and provided new insights into the internal phylogenetic relationships of Thoracotremata.

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden have investigated the soil HMs contamination and pollution sources in a typical coal industrial city. They quantified the ecological and human health risks of soil HMs from different sources, by a comprehensive approach combining risk assessments with positive matrix factorization model.

Researchers from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and their collaborators revealed the molecular mechanism of the ZDHHC18-mediated palmitoylation of cGAS to inhibit innate immunity.

A research group from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics uncovered a new function of growth factor Midkine to suppress the Liver Kinase B1 / AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (LKB1-AMPK) axis in a noncanonical intracellular manner.

A recent study, delivered by Dr. LI Yunhai's team from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB), has revealed the important roles of a single amino acid L301P mutation of the histone binding protein OsMS1 (MALE STERILITY 1)in responding to temperature changes and confers thermosensitive genic male sterility in rice.

Dr. Raymond Chan and his team from the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have adopted network analysis to specifically examine the network structure and interrelationship between negative symptoms (at both the "symptom-dimension" and "symptom-item" levels), other psychopathology and social functioning in 269 schizophrenia patients.

A research group led by Prof. WU Aiguo at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE), in cooperation with Prof. Dan Larhammar's group at Uppsala University, has proposed a D-peptide ligand of neuropeptide Y receptor Y1, which can serve as nanocarriers to facilitate the traversal of the blood brain barrier and thus targets gliomas efficiently.

Recently, a research team led by Prof. HU Wei from the Institute of hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences provides the first evidence that Sinhcaf-dependent histone deacetylation is essential for germ plasm aggregation and primordial germ cell specification. The study was published in EMBO Reports.

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) tried to uncover how local people are driven to engage in habitat conservation, so as to provide realistic recommendation and coordination for building environmentally sustainable rural communities.

Prof. ZHANG Zhiqiang and Dr. SUN Jiaojiao from the Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology have recently developed a highly sensitive three-dimensional-rosettelike SERS substrate (BigAuNP/Au/ZnO/P)for gas sensing.
