In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology presented the newly discovered and well-preserved fossil pods in one specimen from the late Miocene of the Yen Bai Basin, northern Vietnam.

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed a novel nonequilibrium mechanism in the allosteric regulation of motor switching, based on a precise measurement of the switching dynamics when the bacterial flagellar motor is at stall. This mechanism also has implications for nonequilibrium mechanisms regulated by other molecular motors.

In a study published in Science Immunology, Prof. PENG Hua at the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. FU Yangxin at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and the collaborators, developed a new generation IL-12, the pro-IL-12, with low toxicity, tumor restriction, and high anti-tumor efficiency.

ZHOU Hu's team from Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the collaborators, performed proteogenomic characterization of iCCA using paired tumor and adjacent liver tissues from 262 patients by integrating genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and phosphoproteomic data.

The research team led by CHENG Zhen and CHEN Hao from Molecular Imaging Center of Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed mitochondria-targeting lipophilic cation compounds for myocardial PET and fluorescence bimodal imaging.

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) revealed the widespread presence of soil microplastics in tropical areas, from artificial ecosystems to natural ecosystems, in both the top and deep soil layers.

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) tried to reveal the adaptation strategy of rubber trees to cold stress and hail events from the perspective of water-use efficiency (WUE). They compared the WUE of rubber plantations by considering different scales (plant and ecosystem) and methods (eddy covariance and isotope techniques).

Researchers from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology have reported the programmed self-assembly of bacterial populations by engineered adhesion.
