Researchers from the Institute of Biophysics have revealed the effects of attentional modulation on the covariability of neural responses and related computational principles.

Researchers led by Profs. TU Yiheng and HU Li from the Institute of Psychology have uncovered a neural pathway preferentially involved in pain perception across species.

Researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology have found that gallic acid, as an agonist of PPARγ in fish, can regulate the enteroheptal immune homeostasis by binding to zebrafish PPARγ protein.

An international research team led by Prof. ZHANG Huaqiao from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology has reported the discovery of extraordinary early Cambrian (ca. 535 million years ago, or Ma) microfossils preserving the introvert musculature of cycloneuralians.

Researchers from the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources have revealed the effects of grape pomace on digestive tract microbiota of herbivores.

In 2020, a researcher found an unknown Begonia species characterized by having sessile leaf and on this species. After careful examination of the morphology of the species by using the collected materials, color photographs, comparing with affiliated species and, reviewing the relevant literature and digitized herbarium specimens, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden confirmed it new to science and was the fifth representative of the Begonia sect. Monophyllon A.DC.

Dr. Raymond Chan from the Institute of Psychology and Dr. ZHANG Ruiting from Hunan Normal University ave developed a scale, namely the Social Affective Forecasting Scale, to examine the relationship among anticipated emotions, schizotypal traits, and negative symptoms.

A team of researchers from the Institute of Psychology used behavioral measures and electroencephalography techniques to investigate the analgesic effects of different virtual reality scenes on contact heat stimulation and the associated neural mechanisms.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden investigated the relationship between community phytochemical diversity and herbivore-induced leaf damage, by integrating untargeted metabolomics, a plastome-based phylogeny, and a long-term tropical forest monitoring plot of 358 species.

Researchers led by Prof. WU Yuejin from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science have cloned a novel gene responsible for glufosinate resistance in rice and conducted in-depth analysis of its functional characteristics.

Researchers from Wuhan Botanical Garden designed a conceptual framework for empirically quantifying the manifestation of urbanization-induced vegetation greenness of 340 cities in the quickly urbanizing nation of China.

A research group led by Prof. ZHOU Xi from the Wuhan Institute of Virology showed that in addition to inhibiting caspase-8/extrinsic apoptosis, human cytomegalovirus UL36 antagonizes IRF3-dependent immune signaling by directly targeting IRF3. UL36 confers these two inhibitory functions simultaneously during human cytomegalovirus infection.
