Researchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden investigated and identified the individual and interactive effects of riparian canopy cover and nutrient pollution on multiple dimensions of the stream food web complexity in three headwater streams in the upper Jinshui River catchment using stable isotope analysis.

A research team led by Dr. LI Peng from the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the collaborators designed a switchable CAR-T cell (CFR64 T) that can use antibodies to redirect tumor-associated antigens based on the property of CD64 to bind to antibody Fc fragments.

Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology found an autoproteolytic effect that is essential in activating further transmembrane signaling down the line, similar to the widely known autoproteolysis mechanism seen in eukaryotes.

Researchers from the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health introduced designed disulfide bonds into the SARS-CoV-1 S protein to allow imaging of previously unobserved rare conformations by cryo-EM. They found that rare SARS-CoV-1 S conformations share parallel features with some conformations of SARS-CoV-2 and other Sarbecovirus S proteins, and analyzed possible biological functions of these conserved features.

A team led by Prof. WANG Wei from the Institute of Botany has unraveled the evolutionary history of the Arctic flora. The researchers suggested that there is a long-term dispersal corridor between the Arctic and western North America.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and their collaborators sought to reveal the temporal and spatial dynamics of tropical terrestrial orchids, and to clarify the main factors of species richness disparity among tropical floras through their evolutionary history.

A research team led by Prof. ZHU Shu from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) illustrated the role of Gasdermin D (GSDMD) protein in immunity tolerance to food in the small intestine.

A research team led by Prof. CHEN Yuxing and Prof. ZHOU Cong from the University of Science and Technology of China recently utilized single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to decipher the 3D structure and molecular mechanism of the platelet drug transporter ABCC4.

A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Hui from the Institute of Oceanology has obtained high-quality chromosome-level reference genome of Chelidonichthys spinosus in the Yangtze River Estuary.

Researchers led by Prof. WANG Bo from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, in collaboration with colleagues from the U.S. and the U.K., have discovered 16 new mermithids associated with their insect hosts from mid-Cretaceous (about 100 million years ago) Kachin amber.

A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Xiaochu from the University of Science and Technology of China innovatively examined the alterations in loss aversion, and its associated changes in brain networks. The findings could contribute to the diagnosis and classification of this disorder.

A team of nearly 100 scientists recently mapped the cell-type taxonomy in the macaque cortex and revealed the relationship between cell-type composition and various primate brain regions by using the self-developed spatial transcriptome sequencing technology Stereo-seq and snRNA-seq technology, which provides a molecular and cellular basis for further investigation into neural circuits.
