Recently, researchers from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators isolated and resolved the high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy structure of the vRNAP from ASFV-infected porcine macrophages. This includes the structures of the vRNAP in complex with endogenous DNA and with the viral protein M1249L.

Researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica and the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health, utilizing artificial intelligence algorithms combined with pharmacological methods, predicted and confirmed that the stimulator of interferon genes is a key target of Ginkgetin, an active ingredients in Ginkgo biloba extract, for alleviating aging.

A research team led by Prof. CAI Lintao from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported its development of an innovative intelligent light-guided biohybrid system, the CTPA/siCSF1R system, to target tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), thus enabling precise spatiotemporal siRNA delivery.

A team of researchers from the Single-Cell Center at the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, have developed a microfluidic system to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Operating at the picoliter scale, the system condenses billions of bacterial cells into a confined microenvironment, accelerating the experimental evolution of resistance.

A research team led by Dr. DU Xuemin from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new technology, living interface for fine-tuned exosome secretion (LIFES), that promotes neurovascular modeling.

Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with their collaborators from Lanzhou University of Technology (LUT), combined heavy ion radiation with gene editing and presented a new approach to enhance yeast's ability to produce high-value lipid compounds.

Researchers from Qingdao University and Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a novel, rapid, and label-free method using Raman spectroscopy to assess tumor migration potential.

Most rice cultivars only contain a RS level lower than 2% in cooked rice. Now, a group of scientists have shown that the mutations of specific amylopectin biosynthetic genes could further increase the RS contents in the soluble starch synthase IIIa (ssIIIa) ssIIIb background, providing insights into the RS biosynthesis in rice.

Researchers from the Single-Cell Center at the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with collaborators, developed an artificial intelligence-assisted Raman-activated cell sorting (AI-RACS) system. This system automated the isolation and functional analysis of aluminum-tolerant microorganisms (ATMs) from acidic soil, marking a shift from manual, labor-intensive procedures to high-throughput automated workflows.

A collaborative research team recently presented their insights into human DRG development on an article in Cell on November 12. For the first time, they revealed the dynamic changes in cellular diversification and spatial organization within human DRG during critical developmental stages. This research provides valuable resource on studying human embryonic DRG development and has established a robust culture system for generating human DRG organoids.

A research team led by Prof. HUANG Qing at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed an advanced biosensing platform using Aptamer-based Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (Aptamer-SERS) technology to detect Alzheimer's-related biomarkers in blood samples with high sensitivity.

Visual systems of both humans and animals can detect life motion from the environment at the earliest stage of visual processing, a recent joint research by scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) uncovered. Results of the study were published in Nature Communications on Nov. 7, entitled "Detecting biological motion signals in human and monkey superior colliculus: a subcortical-cortical pathway for biological motion perception".
