In a study published in Ecological Indicators, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden tried to explore how to identify the critical transition indicator by simulating the dynamics of network assembly and use this indicator to compare the stability structure of different ecological networks. They utilized dynamic simulations to identify how three key structural indicators (connectance, nestedness and modularity) changed with increasing sampling size, by integrating data on epiphytic mosses and epiphytic vascular plants collected from investigations in tropical rainforest and subtropical forest of Yunnan.

Recently, a study from the research group led by Prof. ZHU Bing at the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that the maternal factor Pramel15 in mice can mediate DNMT1 degradation in the zygotic nucleus, fine-tuning nuclear DNMT1 protein abundance.

Dr. DAI Zhuojun's group at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences harnessed the natural resilience of spores, which can survive extreme environmental conditions, by programming them to secrete plastic-degrading enzymes under specific circumstances.

In order to explore the mechanism of oil accumulation in the nutrient organssuch as tubers, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) used high-oil, medium-oil Acorus calamus and Cyperus rotundus tubers as research materials and compared their differences in gene transcription through comparative genomics and transcriptomics analysis.

Recently, a research group led by Prof. HONG Bo from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science identified a novel prognostic biomarker that could help predict chemotherapy resistance in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) by multi-omics integrative analysis.

A recent study led by Profs. DAI Jianwu and ZHAO Yannan from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences employed a combination of lineage tracing and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to demonstrate the heterogeneous distribution, source, and function of meningeal fibroblasts and perivascular fibroblasts in fibrotic scars.

A collaborative research team led by Professor TIAN Zhixi from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated the correlation between Leguminosae-gain gene duplication patterns and their function in root nodule symbiosis (RNS).

The research team led by Professor ZHANG Jinsong from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology revealed the mechanism how the membrane protein MHZ3, collaborating with the ethylene receptor, controls the switch of the ethylene signaling in rice.

A research group led by Prof. HOU Hongwei from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported the genome of water wisteria, and revealed the evolution of aquatic plants and their adaptation to the amphibious environment.

A research team led by Dr. CHAO Yanji at the Shanghai Institute of Immunity and Infection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that noncoding small RNAs effectively inhibited HvKP superbug infection by targeting a novel virulence mechanism.

A team led by Prof. LI Wenjun from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences constructed a chemolithoautotrophic enrichment system using saline lake sediments, and isolated and characterized a novel chemolithoautotrophic taxon.

A research team led by Prof. WANG Liping and Prof. WANG Feng at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, has mapped the neural network innervating the kidneys in male and female mice, providing insights into the brain's role in coordinating multiple organs to maintain the body's internal balance.
