Researchers led by Prof. LIU Xuan from the Institute of Zoology have shown that extreme weather events may give non-native species advantages over their native counterparts.

Researchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden conducted a three-year (2020-2023) field study and controlled indoor experiments on the Han River, which was previously dominated by the invasive species Elodea nuttallii.

Recently, the Beijing Institute of Genomics and the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology have jointly developed the Open Archive of Plant Image and Traits (OPIA), which provides a public service for domestic and foreign researchers to submit and share plant image and trait data.

Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology have discovered that the SigI are more distinct than previously understood — so much so that they require an entirely new classification group.

Researchers led by MENG Wenxiang from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology have shown that knocking out of the calmodulin-regulated spectrin-associated protein 1 (CAMSAP 1) gene in mice resulted in typical oligoasthenoteratozoospermia,

The researchers from Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health and East China University of Science and Technology conducted a study with human senescent cells, and disclosed that these cells are more prone to undergo aerobic glycolysis and produce a large amount of lactate.

A study published in the PNAS uncovered a subtype of T cells with robust tumor-killing capabilities that resist exhaustion, elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms behind their identification and activation.

Addressing the knowledge gap in spinal cord aging, researchers from the Institute of Zoology and the Beijing Institute of Genomics have made an original discovery. Their study revealed a previously unknown subtype of CHIT1-positive microglia in the aged spinal cord of non-human primates.

Researchers from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology and their collaborators have developed a gene therapy strategy to selectively manipulate Parkinson's disease-affected circuitry and attenuate the core motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease in rodent and nonhuman primate animals.

Researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology and their collaborators have reported two extremely rare fossil lampreys from the Jurassic of northern China and revised our understanding of lamprey evolution.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden sought to disentangle the effects of forest structure, topography, and spatial structure on multidimensional beta-diversity (i.e., taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic) and its turnover and nestedness components at local and regional scales in a Chinese subtropical evergreen broadleaf forest.

Dr. CHEN Yuhang's team from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology solved the cryo-EM structures of rice SOS1 (OsSOS1) from Oryza sativa, both in its full-length auto-inhibited state (OsSOS1^FL) and in its activated state (OsSOS1⁹⁷⁶, a constitutively active truncated version lacking the C-terminal auto-inhibitory domain).
