Prof. LIU Guanghui and his colleagues from the Institute of Zoology and the Beijing Institute of Genomics, have collaborated to find that Apolipoprotein E (APOE) destabilizes heterochromatin and drives senescence in human stem cells.

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden tried to explore the growth-climate sensitivity of pine species and its spatial heterogeneity across temperature and moisture gradients in Southwest China. They investigated the predominant climatic factors limited tree radial growth and how growth-climate sensitivity of pine species changed along temperature and moisture gradients in Southwest China.

The Invasive Ecology Group from the Wuhan Botanical Garden addressed this research gap using Triadica sebifera (tallow), an aggressive woody invader, and two potential biological control agents, Bikasha collaris (flea beetle) and Heterapoderopsis bicallosicollis (weevil).

Recently, Prof. LAI Liangxue from Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health (GIBH) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences collaborating with Dr. ZOU Qingjian from Wuyi University, has developed a novel base editing system, TaC9-ABE, which is able to eliminate Cas9-dependent off-targets of adenine base editor (ABE).

A research team led by Prof. YE Keqiang from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology has revealed that C/EBPβ/AEP pathway dictates both Alzheimer's disease and longevity.

Scientists at the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology, along with their collaborators, reported the first release of a whole-brain projectome comprising over 6,000 single neurons in the mouse prefrontal cortex (PFC), making it the largest database of a whole-brain, single-neuron mouse projectome to date.

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) and the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica found that the EtOAc-soluble fraction (AHE) of the Alpinia hainanensis rhizome ethanol extract could ameliorate dextran sulfate sodium-induced ulcerative colitis.

According to a recent study, a team led by Prof. ZHENG Zhiming and associate Prof. WANG Peng from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) has enhanced the synthesis ability of terpenoids with newly developed microbial consortia.

Researchers from Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology and their collaborators have revealed the functional role for VTA→BLA dopamine neurons controlling anxiety-related behaviors not only in singular anxiety, but also in anxiety-depression comorbid conditions in mice.

A research team led by Dr. LI Zhiheng and Dr. Thomas Stidham from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology has discovered the amazingly well-preserved fossil skeleton of an extinct owl that lived more than six million years ago in China.

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) provided the first estimates of the seasonal dynamics of stem radial growth and xylogenesis of Toona ciliate and their responses to environmental conditions in Asian tropical forests.

Supervised by Prof. HU Guangwan from the Wuhan Botanical Garden, student Mutinda Elizabeth Syowai from Kenyan carried out a study of comparative genomics, phylogenetics, and biogeography of two samples of Toddalia asiatica collected from Kenya and Toddalia asiatica from Asia available in the National Center of Biotechnology Information database.
