A new study has uncovered how the human brain's perception of pain is influenced by instructions—such as whether to perceive pain as separate sensations or as integrated multimodal pain. The study also reveals how this process works and identifies the neural mechanisms involved.
A new study led by Prof. LIU Ning from the Institute of Biophysics and Prof. YU Shan from the Institute of Automation has revealed compelling evidence that brain criticality—a dynamic balance between neural excitation and inhibition—has a strong genetic foundation and is associated with cognitive performance.
Chinese scientists have developed a novel nanotherapy known as biomimetic extracellular vesicle spherical nucleic acids (BEV-SNAs), which has shown efficacy in treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators revealed that light intensity significantly influences how well plants can withstand extreme temperatures, challenging current assessment methods conducted in darkness.
A team of researchers led by Prof. WANG Wei from the Institute of Botany has revealed how unique native plant life on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has evolved over time, shedding new light on the origins and development of one of the world’s most biologically diverse temperate regions.
Prof. LU Wei' group from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the collaborators, revealed the in vivo relationship between T cell receptor (TCR) signaling intensity and the differentiation of T cell exhaustion in tumors, and suggested that regulating the TCR signaling intensity mediated by CARD11 can alter the clonal diversity of anti-tumor CD8 T cells in the tumor microenvironment and enhance the anti-tumor immune response.
