Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and the University of California San Diego have revealed that receiving an inhibitory signal associated with negative food conditions can decrease brain dopamine levels in dancing honeybees.

Researchers from Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology (SIBET) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a knee optical model.

A research group led by Prof. HUANG Kaiyao from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences optimized a method for purifying LROs from Chlamydomonas cells, and proved that LROs have different morphology and protein composition in response to different environmental conditions.

Researchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden have documented a comprehensive list of the vascular plants of Mt Elgon from random-walk survey and retrieval of herbarium specimen dating back to 1900.

A group led by Prof. WU Qingfeng from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences demonstrated the presence of cell competition between neural progenitor cells (NPCs) during neurodevelopment.

A recent study by Dr. DING Qiurong's group from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the collaborators discovered that the transient accumulation of liver lipids during liver regeneration serves as a regeneration and repair signal that promotes liver cell proliferation.

Researchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden have evaluated the secondary invasion and the invasiveness of 14 non-target invaders after control of dominant target invader Ambrosia artemisiifolia by biocontrol agent Ophraella communa in two consecutive years.

A research team led by Prof. LI Fuhua from the Institute of Oceanology provided new insights into the genetic mechanism of divergent thermo-tolerance in penaeid shrimp.

To understand how adaptive strategies promote plant fitness under N deposition, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden have evaluated the responses of leaf functional traits, their plasticity, and integration in dominant seedling species in a subtropical montane forest in Yunnan.

Shanghai scientists discovered a new function of histone H3 serine 28 phosphorylation (H3S28ph) that regulates hepatic gluconeogenesis, providing new theoretical approaches for treating type II diabetes.

A team led by Prof. ZHANG Kaiming from the University of Science and Technology (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) solved six conformations in the second-step self-splicing of Tetrahymena ribozyme using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), revealing the mechanism of group I introns coordinating self-splicing reactions.

Researchers revealed the key mechanism of the loss of membrane protrusions on intratumoral natural killer (NK) cells, which impairs their ability to recognize and kill tumor cells, providing a new strategy for NK cell-based immunotherapy.
