An international research team led by scientists from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered an exceptionally preserved phosphatic stromatoporoid sponge from the Early Ordovician, dating back about 480 million years, in Yuan’an, Yichang, South China.
A team of Chinese researchers led by Prof. WANG Likun from the Institute of Biophysics has provided new insights into metabolic disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies by identifying a novel intercellular signaling mechanism between adipocytes (fat cells) and hepatocytes (liver cells).
Despite the simultaneous blooming of multiple Pedicularis species and their shared reliance on bumblebee pollinators, hybridization between co-occurring species is exceptionally rare. Now, a research team has uncovered the biomechanical mechanisms behind this phenomenon.
A research team led by Prof. LIU Zhiyong from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, together with collaborators, uncovered a novel immune mechanism by which tandem kinase proteins (TKPs) combat pathogen invasion in wheat, expanding the understanding of TKP functionality.
Photos taken on March 25, 2025 shows the monitoring facilities of the second phase of the Chinese Meridian Project at the Ming'antu observing station of the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Zhengxiangbai Banner, Xilin Gol League, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
Recently the plant immunity team led by Professor Liu Zhiyong from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB), Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, unveiled a novel immune mechanism by which tandem kinases combat pathogen invasion: an atypical NLR protein, WTN1 (Wheat Tandem NBD 1), partners with the tandem kinase WTK3 to detect pathogen effectors and initiate immune responses.
Participants at a parallel forum of the 2025 Zhongguancun Forum in Beijing unveiled an initiative on Thursday, calling for global collaboration to leverage digital science and technology to accelerate sustainable development and address global challenges.
The 2025 Zhongguancun Forum (ZGC Forum) kicked off in Beijing on Thursday. At the opening ceremony, China's 10 scientific advances of 2024 were released. The selection of the advances is hosted by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and organized by the High Technology Research and Development Center (Basic Research Management Center) of NSFC.
