A research team led by Prof. WANG Hongzhi and Prof. HONG Bo from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. WANG Wei from the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China, discovered a crucial mechanism that underlies chemotherapy resistance and metastasis in small cell lung cancer.
Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated the spatial distribution characteristics of the PhoD gene and its environmental driving factors in tropical and subtropical forests. They revealed that the abundance of PhoD was primarily shaped by elevation, soil pH, and calcium availability.
A new study led by Prof. FENG Xiaojuan from the Institute of Botany reports that climate warming can increase soil carbon accumulation in boreal Sphagnum peatlands by boosting plant productivity, protecting iron, and inhibiting microbial decomposition. These responses contrast sharply with warming-enhanced soil carbon mineralization—the process by which carbon is released as CO2—in boreal forests and tundra.
Researchers led by Prof. SHI Jianlin from the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics have developed a novel silicon-based nanothrombolytic therapy that achieves efficient thrombus clearance and in situ regulation of the coagulation microenvironment while minimizing systemic bleeding risk.
A new study has found that L1td1, a protein evolutionarily co-opted from the Long interspersed nuclear element 1 (LINE1) retrotransposon, functions as a critical "gatekeeper" restricting pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) from reverting to a totipotent state.
Dr. TIAN Ye's group from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences summarized mitochondrial stress responses from the organelle level to the systemic organismal network, providing deep insights into the core role of mito-nuclear communication in regulating physiology and aging.
