On August 5, 2022, a study published in PNAS reveals the genome-wide chromatin accessibility of neonatal cochlear hair cells (HCs) and has identified two previously unknown Atoh1 enhancers. This study demonstrates that three Atoh1 enhancers cooperate for cochlear HC development in a dosage-dependent manner. The discovery provides insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying Atoh1 expression regulation and novel potential therapeutic targets for HC regeneration. This work was performed by researchers in LIU Zhiyong’s lab at CEBSIT, and the research group of LU Falong at IGDB.
Researchers from the Institute of Zoology and their collaborators have unraveled a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-based regulatory mechanism that modulates the balance between plant immunity and growth.
In a recent study, using a soil quality index derived from soil quality indicators which are selected by principal component analysis, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) evaluated the effect of planting density of pine plantations on soil quality up to one meter soil depth.
In a recent study, Prof. SHUI Guanghou's team from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) presented new findings pertaining to how endogenous ceramide phosphoethanolamine modulate circadian rhythm and longevity via neural-glial coupling in Drosophila.
A research group led by Prof. WU Zhenbin from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that the restoration project on West Lake they conducted improved sediment conditions, facilitated the growth of submerged macrophytes, and sped up the restoration and reconstruction of the lake ecosystem.
A research group led by Prof. ZHANG Guojie from Kunming Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted a study spanning all recent penguin taxa to understand 60 million years of penguin evolutionary history.
