The researchers have discovered a remarkable example of tool use in the insect world: The assassin bug weaponizes resin from stingless bee nests to trick its prey into attacking at the ideal predation part. The bug chemically "hacks" bee resin to turn colony defenses into a hunting aid, which provides the first comprehensive evidence of an invertebrate predator using tools to exploit the collective defenses of social insects.
a research team led by WU Zhaofa from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, in collaboration with WANG Jing and LI Yulong from Peking University, has shown the development of a novel genetically encoded fluorescent sensor for real-time, cell type-specific monitoring of intracellular adenosine (iAdo).
A joint research team from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Beijing Institute of Technology has uncovered a pivotal mechanism by which bacteria defend themselves against viral infection.
A research team led by Prof. ZHU Yingjie from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed the neural mechanisms by which social rank influences vulnerability to drug addiction.
Prof. LI Dong's group from the Institute of Biophysics, together with researchers from Tsinghua University, has provided the first direct evidence that transmembrane fusion proteins enriched in intrinsically disordered regions can dynamically remodel endomembrane systems via liquid-liquid phase separation in living cells using Multi-SIM super-resolution imaging technology.
A study published in Cell and led by Dr. DU Jiulin's lab at the Institute of Neuroscience, Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences uncovered the core regulatory mechanism of brain meningeal lymphatic system development.
