A research group led by Prof. MENG Wenxiang from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology has developed a capture strategy for singlet microtubule lumen proteins by integrating proximity-dependent biotin identification (Bio-ID) with mass spectrometry, enabling systematic screening and identification of proteins residing within the microtubule lumen.

A research team led by Prof. FU Zheng at the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with international partners, has developed a global isoscape of leaf carbon isotope discrimination for C₃ plants spanning 2001 to 2020.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators reported a new Sequoia fossil record from the Late Palaeogene of southwestern China, providing crucial evidence to decode the climatic and biogeographic history of this important genus.

Dr. DONG Peng's team from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology and the collaborators from Sun Yat-sen University discovered that TMZ treatment induces the formation of HDAC1-CTCF condensates in GBM cells, and they identified the small-molecule compound Resminostat as a therapeutic agent capable of targeting these condensates.

A research team led by Profs. WANG Song and ZHU Yongping from the Institute of Process Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new approach to suppressing the shuttle effect in transition metal fluoride cathodes. The team's study focused on thermal batteries—a type of battery that operates at 350–550 °C.

Prof. LIU Cong from the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, revealed the high-resolution structures of amyloid fibrils directly extracted from biopsy samples of living patients with systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis, providing new molecular insights into how patient-specific protein sequences and tissue environments shape amyloid architecture.

Prof. GAO Ying's team from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators from Hainan Medical University and Peking University Health Science Center, estimated the prevalence of hysterectomy of Chinese women, and revealed its association with metabolic disorders.

A recent study led by Prof. ZHANG Xiaoming's team at the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with Prof. Ian T. Baldwin's group at the CAS Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences, has uncovered a novel ecological strategy. Rather than passively "hitchhiking" within insect vectors, rice viruses actively manipulate plant defense pathways to protect their insect carriers.

A research team led by Prof. XIA Yufei from the Institute of Process Engineering has demonstrated that redesigning aluminum adjuvants into a deformable, three-dimensional mechanical interface can significantly enhance immune activation.

A research team from the Institute of Earth Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a semi-automated microanalytical method to quantify atmospheric plastic particles and their cross-compartmental fluxes—airborne, dustfall, rain, snow, and dust resuspension—in two major Chinese megacities: Guangzhou and Xi'an.

Researchers from the Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology have developed a novel lipid nanoparticle system with an intrinsic imaging capability that enables both efficient mRNA delivery and real-time, non-invasive in vivo tracking. This system provides a powerful tool for understanding the relationships between mRNA delivery, protein expression, and immune activation.

A new study finds that despite continued growth in global fertilizer inputs, nutrient use efficiency in major crops has not improved correspondingly and remains generally low. This underscores that "high input, low efficiency" remains a systemic challenge facing global agriculture.

A research team led by Prof. NIU Shuli from the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with international partners, conducted a 4,200-kilometer survey across the alpine grasslands of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. By integrating regional survey data with global datasets on plant diversity and productivity, the team provided the first empirical evidence that biodiversity’s stabilizing effects shift over time in natural ecosystems.

A new study by Ashutosh Tripathi from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with his collaborators, has identified highly significant short-timescale ​quasi-periodic oscillations in several blazars.

Ashutosh Tripathi from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and his collaborators applied the advanced time-series analysis methods to one year of data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite of the radio blazar 3C 371.

A research team led by Prof. PANG Shaojun from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has demonstrated that wakame (Undaria pinnatifida)—a kelp traditionally cultivated in temperate waters—can be grown to market size in subtropical Fujian Province using clonal sporophyte seedlings and a winter cultivation strategy.

Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators investigated how mycorrhizal types affect plant-soil feedbacks through a comprehensive global meta-analysis.

Researchers working on China' s fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally accessed a theorized "density-free regime" for fusion plasmas, achieving stable operation at densities well beyond conventional limits.
