Dr. Raymond Chan's team from the Institute of Psychology has conducted a study to examine the resting-state functional connectivity associated with interoception in healthy volunteers with autistic traits.

To determine the effects of warming on fine root traits of woody plants, Dr. ZHAO Xiaoxiang from the Wuhan Botanical Garden conducted a meta-analysis based on 431 paired observations of 13 fine root traits from 78 studies around the world.

A research team led by Prof. YANG Zhenye from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in collaboration with GUO Jing from the First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, has made progress in the field of metabolic regulation during the mitotic phase of aneuploid tumor cells.

A research team led by Prof. CHEN Chunying from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that peripheral nerve fibers act as direct conduits for silver nanomaterials translocation from the gut to the central nervous systems (CNS).

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and their collaborators investigated how environmental conditions can induce turgor limitation in stem growth and, in turn, explain diel and seasonal patterns in stem diameter growth in the widespread tropical tree species Toona ciliata (red cedar).

Drs. HUANG Jia and Raymond Chan from the Institute of Psychology and their collaborators demonstrated that negative schizotypal traits had a significant negative moderating effect on the relationship between ERI and reward motivation, whereas positive and disorganized schizotypal traits had significant positive moderating effects.

Prof. YANG Yuyi's team from the Wuhan Botanical Garden and their collaborators recently traced and quantified the uptake and transport of micro- and nanoplastics in various aquatic plants using europium-doped polystyrene particles.

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and their collaborators used scanning electron microscopy to examine the floral morphology and development of two legume species in the subfamily Caesalpinioideae, Biancaea decapetala, and Albizia julibrissin.

A research team led by Prof. YE Keqiang from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology has discovered a promising compound called F0502B for imaging α-Syn and aiding in the diagnosis of synucleinopathies.

A recent study conducted by a team led by Dr. JIANG Danhua from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology demonstrated that TONSOKU (TSK) plays a dual role in regulating both DNA repair and epigenetic stability.

To understand the mechanisms regulating carbon/nitrogen metabolism, researchers led by Prof. ZUO Jianru and Prof. LI Jiayang from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology identified that key factors OsHXK7 and ARE4 link glucose signaling to nitrogen use in rice.

Under the supervision of Prof. YANG Mei and Prof. YANG Dong from the Wuhan Botanical Garden, researchers identified NnMYB5 as the key gene controlling petal color in Nelumbo nucifera by quantitative trait locus mapping and bulked segregant analysis sequencing.
