In a breakthrough study published in Science on Nov. 15, international researchers have identified mechanisms driving age-dependent morphological changes occurring in the root apical meristem during phase change.
A research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences elucidated the high-resolution structure of the Orf2971-FtsHi complex, a chloroplast motor complex from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. This study reveals the highly complex protein composition and assembly details of the complex, and explores the potential translocation pathway of precursor proteins.
A research group led by Prof. CAI Xinxia from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a novel drug-loaded hydrogel-coated microelectrode array (MEA), which allows for long-term, high-quality detection of neural activity.
A research team led by Dr. CHENG Wenxiang from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with the collaborators, discovered that overexpression of Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) is a characteristic of RA patients, and that neutralizing the C-terminal fragments of ANGPTL4 reduces the severity of arthritis in animal models.
Researchers from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, and the collaborators, demonstrated a new model of early evolution in the transition of tumors from polyclonal to monoclonal, and elucidated the mechanisms of intercellular communication and the interaction underlying the polyclonal origin of tumors.
A team of scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and BGI Research has uncovered the intricate mechanisms by which immunoglobulins influence the aging process, a finding that might reshape our understanding of aging. This research, published in Cell on Nov. 4, not only charts a high-precision map of aging across various organs but also reveals the dual-edged sword of immunoglobulins in systemic aging.
