A research team led by Prof. YANG Yuanhe from the Institute of Botany has reported that abrupt permafrost thaw accelerates soil phosphorus cycling, with potential consequences for plant primary productivity and carbon sequestration in permafrost ecosystems.
Researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health have revealed a novel mechanism by which the chromatin remodeler brahma-related gene 1 (Brg1) regulate Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in allergic lung inflammation. Brg1 exacerbates allergic lung inflammation by regulating the chromatin status of ILC2s, enhancing their aerobic glycolytic metabolism, and consequently promoting the expansion of effector ILC2s (ILC2eff) and memory ILC2s (ILC2mem).
A new study from the Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that plasticine models may not capture the full ecological story of biotic interactions.
Researchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences studied over 120 insect-pollinated plant species in a meadow near Shangri-La county. The team documented nearly 7,000 flower visits, measured traits of 93 plant species and 258 pollinator species, and built pollination networks for bees, flies, and the entire ecological community.
A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Yunfeng from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered the neural encoding mechanisms that enable mice to use their olfactory system to assess prey nutritional status and make precise foraging decisions at the molecular, cellular, and neural circuit levels.
Dr. LU Ming's group from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health, in collaboration with researchers from Huashan Hospital of Fudan University, has now identified a key acetate source by revealing how hepatocellular carcinoma cells trigger acetate secretion by tumor-associated macrophages through a metabolic interaction involving lactate and the lipid peroxidation–aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 pathway.
