A new study led by the Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed that lake heatwaves are generally more intense, longer-lasting, and more frequent than their atmospheric counterparts.

A new study led by the Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified a unique trait in the aquatic plant Ottelia alismoides that it can simultaneously employ three distinct CO₂-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs). This finding provides new insights into how these pathways, long considered incompatible within the same plant tissue, can operate concurrently.

Researchers from the Institute of Earth Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have presented a two-century-long reconstruction of summer relative humidity for the southern China's Central Water Tower (CCWT). The reconstruction relies on high-resolution tree-ring δ18O records.

Researchers from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Henan University have introduced a new single-position peptide clustering-based strategy for peptidomics analysis.

A new study by Prof. ZHANG Xiaoming from the Kunming Institute of Zoology has uncovered a direct genetic link between ancient practitioners of the Hanging Coffin burial tradition and the modern Bo people in Southwest China. The findings offer unprecedented insight into the deep ancestral origins and migratory history associated with this unique mortuary practice.

A team led by Prof. CHEN Yan from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered that blocking glycogen synthase 1 increases uridine diphosphate glucose which directly binds to JAK2 protein, inhibiting IL-6 induced JAK2-STAT3 signaling post-burn injury, which suppresses thermogenesis in white adipose tissue and ameliorates the body's hypermetabolic state.

Researchers from the Institute of Physics (IOP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a unified method to predict critical "tipping points" in magnetic systems.

Dr. GE Jixing from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and his collaborators have made new progress in uncovering the chemical behavior of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in molecular clouds at different evolutionary stages.

A research team led by Prof. WANG Kelin from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has uncovered how multitrophic organisms adapt to phosphorus (P) limitation in subtropical ecosystems. Their findings shed light on strategies to alleviate P limitation in fragile subtropical ecosystems.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated how soil microbial communities enhance soil fertility through microscale soil aggregates during tropical forest restoration.

Researchers from Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Fudan University developed a label-free intraoperative navigation system based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering, which enables real-time, in situ grading of prostate tumor malignancy by simultaneously detecting tissue acidity and prostate-specific antigen activity.

A research team led by YAO Hongming and ZHU Ming from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the spatiotemporal distribution of carbon "source-sink" patterns and their biogeochemical driving mechanisms in the Greater Bay Area (Pearl River Estuary).

A team led by WU Beili from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, determined the structures of GPR1 bound to chemerin and β-arrestin 1 or β-arrestin 2, as well as the structure of GPR1–β-arrestin 1 complex in the absence of chemerin. They elucidated a picture of arrestin-mediated modulation of GPR1, deepening our understanding of non-canonical GPCR signaling.

The successful completion of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) and the release of its first physics results were announced by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) at a press conference held in Jiangmen City on Nov. 19.
