CHEN Jin's team from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden investigated the impact of nature observation activities and inquiry learning activities in a school garden on the development of children's interest in nature. They found that involving children in garden-based activities was beneficial in stimulating and sustaining situational interest, which could potentially lead to a long-term individual interest in nature.

An international team from the from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, the Yunnan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, and New York University unraveled the mystery about the evolution of human bipedalism.

CHEN Jianghua's team from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden characterized a pinnate leaf pattern mutant pinnate-like pentafoliata2 (pinna2) in Medicago truncatula, which is phenotypically similar to the previously reported pinna1 mutant.

Prof. AI Youwei's team from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology has provided new insights into the role of the physiological cytokine combination (TNF+IFNγ) in cytokine-induced cell death.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden investigated the key soil elements that influence the growth of balsa plantations and the effects of different cultivation practices on the soil environment and economic benefits in Xishuangbanna.

A research group led by Prof. WEI Taotao from the Institute of Biophysics, together with Prof. MA Jun from the Shenzhen Bay Laboratory, has revealed the structure of the Gabija complex and elucidated the molecular mechanism by which the Gabija system functions in immune defense.

Researchers led by XIAO Jun from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology presented an innovative approach. By integrating multidimensional omics, population genetics, and gene function analysis, they outlined a systematic and efficient strategy to identify key regulatory factors in wheat spike development.

Researchers led by Prof. ZHANG Yongqing from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology have established for the first time a brain slice electrophysiology system in an autism-associated canine model and revealed neuronal structural and functional abnormalities in Shank3 mutant dogs.

The research group led by ZHU Qiang and LUO Shuang at the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences achieved the enantioselective synthesis of various inherently chiral tribenzo[a,c,e][7]annulene derivatives by reacting palladium-catalyzed heptagonal oxime derivatives with bromo(chloro)benzyl.

A research team led by Prof. LAI Yuxiao and Prof. QIN Ling from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed multi-functional bioactive scaffolds with time-sequential functions of preventing tumor recurrence, inhibiting bacterial infection, and promoting bone defect repair.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden assessed the relationship and the degree of interaction between the Xiaoheishan NRs (Xhs NRs) in Yunnan and the surrounding communities.

Researchers led by Prof. FENG Wei from the Institute of Biophysics, together with Prof. OU Guangshuo from Tsinghua University, observed the effects of the KIF1A (R11Q) mutation in patients with comorbid autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
