Researchers led by Prof. YANG Yuhe from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, Prof. ZHANG Linqi from Tsinghua University, and Prof. LI Taisheng from Peking Union Medical College Hospital have analyzed the antibody response of SARS-CoV-1 convalescents from the aspects of polyclonal antibodies and monoclonal antibodies, and they compared the duration, classification and properties of receptor-binding domain Abs.

A research group led by Prof. XIA Xiaoqin from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences collected the relevant data of fish transcriptome and created three related databases - the bulk RNA-seq database FishGET, the scRNA-seq database FishSCT, and the spatial transcriptome database FishSED.

CHAO Daiyin's group at the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and TIAN Zhixi's group at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of CAS have reported the identification of key genes controlling shoot molybdenum concentrations in soybeans and have unlocked the mystery of how molybdenum fertilizer boosts soybean yield.

A team of researchers led by H. Eric Xu from Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, and the collaborators, has uncovered the molecular mechanism of METH binding to the trace amine receptor TAAR1.

A team of researchers led by FU Weiwei at the Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology has rethought the image fusion task and modeled it as a conditional generation model.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden sought to determine whether and how the dominance, ecological impacts, PSFs, soil nutrients and microbes change for Ageratina adenophor (a noxious invasive perennial weed) during its invasion processes, their casual relationships, and whether they differ among different habitat contexts.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden tested whether dung beetles collected using conventional pitfall traps, which preserve specimens with an alcohol-based solution, could be used to extract, sequence, and identify mammalian DNA from their guts.

Researchers led by Prof. BU Pengcheng from the Institute of Biophysics and their collaborators have revealed that CAR-like membrane protein is a tumor suppressor and determines all-trans retinoic acid response in colorectal cancer.

A research team led by Prof. TIAN Changlin from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) resolved the structure of the high-resolution three-dimensional complex between CaSRs and the downstream signaling protein Gq for the first time, and revealed the molecular mechanism of the asymmetric activation of the CaSR protein by agonists, positive aliasing modulators, and other molecules.

Researchers led by Prof. WANG Lei from the Institute of Biophysics and their collaborators have identified the direct target of vinigrol as protein disulfide isomerase on the cell membrane.

This study shows that when the COPII-mediated ER-Golgi transport is blocked, the arrested ERESs can be switched to ER-phagy sites for subsequent delivery to lysosomes for degradation. This work uncovers a functional switch of ERESs to ER-phagy as the last line of defense in ER quality control, and provides insights into the crosstalk between the secretory pathway and autophagy.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden tried to assess the impact of intercropped legumes on tea aphid, ant, and predator guilds and to examine dynamic changes in the networks over three consecutive years. They then investigated the potential impact of the legume on both tea quality and yield.
