Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden investigated the variation and associations in stem xylem water transport, mechanical support, and storage functions between lianas and trees in three different ecosystems in southwest China.

Researchers led by Prof. JI Hongbin from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the collaborators, reported that AST drives the resistance to KRAS inhibition in LKB1-mutant lung cancer, and KRT6A is a predicative biomarker of poor KRAS inhibitor response.

Qiaomei FU and E. Andrew Bennett, both of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, explored the contribution of paleogenomics to our understanding of the evolution of modern humans.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden sought to improve and optimize China's existing ESP research paradigm to accurately establish conservation and restoration priorities, with the intention of providing Chinese programs and demonstrations to contribute to the early realization of the goals in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

Recently, Prof. ZHAN Yang's team at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a novel neuromodulation strategy targeting microglia, which effectively clears amyloid beta, a pathological protein associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Researchers from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology have elucidated the mechanism of underlying the increased susceptibility to necrotrophs during fruit ripening and have developed a rapid strategy to improve tomato fruit resistance to necrotrophs without compromising fruit quality.

A research team led by Prof. CHEN Yuxing and Prof. ZHOU Congzhao from the University of Science and Technology of China of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed the three-dimensional structure and working mechanism of the human bilirubin transporter ABCC2.

A research team led by Prof. YANG Lihua from Hefei National Research Center for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, the University of Science and Technology of China of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a nanoparticle-based sonodynamic therapy to reduce H. pylori infection in mouse without disrupting gut microbiota.

Reseachers from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica and the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, and the collaborators, reported the first large-scale study characterizing the proteomics and phosphoproteomics of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) clinical cohorts, providing a comprehensive picture of the proteogenomics landscape of SCLC.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and their collaborators examined the current status and challenges of China's protected area system and proposed a paradigm shift toward comprehensive public governance.

A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Peng and Prof. HE Sheng from the Institute of Biophysics and Prof. WANG Dajing from the Third Medical Center of PLA General Hospital has revealed the human subcortical neural pathway underlying the automatic detection of collision trajectories, even in the absence of attention and awareness.

Researchers led by Prof. CAI Huaqing from the Institute of Biophysics, together with Prof. LI Lei from Peking University, revealed the molecular mechanisms by which cells regulate the level of macropinocytosis in response to nutrient stress.
