A research group led by Profs. WANG Xiaochen and FENG Wei from the Institute of Biophysics has discovered a new lysosomal membrane fission factor and elucidated its mechanism of action.
Researchers led by Prof. XIAO Jun from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, together with Prof. BAI Mingyi of Shandong University, have identified a gene module that regulates grain length in wheat, providing new insights into how the interaction between brassinosteroid and sugar signals influences grain size.
Researchers led by Prof. TU Yiheng from the Institute of Psychology, in collaboration with international experts, have found that individuals suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain may face a higher high risk of brain aging.
Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and Anhui University provided the first quantification of the relative explanations of six factors that have been commonly considered to be associated with the interspecific variation in seed coat ratio, highlighting the important role of seed desiccation response and seed dormancy in explaining interspecific variation in the seed coat ratio.
Researchers led by Prof. LIU Wenzhi from the Wuhan Botanical Garden characterized the distribution of the nitrification and denitrification rates and their communities in channel sediments, riparian rhizosphere soils, and riparian bulk soils in 30 nitrogen-polluted rivers along a latitudinal gradient across China.
A research team led by Prof. XU Pingyong from the Institute of Biophysics introduced the first negative regulator of NOX4 translation, the pivotal factor EI24. They uncovered the molecular mechanism by which EI24 precisely regulates H2O2 production by controlling NOX4 translation, and its implications for maintaining the redox equilibrium of pancreatic beta cells and insulin synthesis.
