Researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health found an association between odd- and branched-chain fatty acid levels in breast milk and infant motor development, providing new population-based evidence for research on early-life nutrition and neurodevelopment.

Researchers from Lanzhou University and the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden investigated the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary mechanisms of spruces. They did so by integrating transcriptomic data from 37 species. Their results showed that incomplete lineage sorting, rather than hybridization, was the dominant source of phylogenetic conflict in the genus.

Researchers from the Institute of Oceanology worked through a series of technical hurdles, mainly including the difficulty of culturing genome-edited larvae and low metamorphosis rates. They produced a G0 genome-edited population of approximately 100 juvenile Pacific abalones.

Researchers from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found that climate affects microbial necromass nitrogen accumulation differently in forest and cropland soils, revealing distinct mechanisms of soil nitrogen storage under different land uses.

Researchers from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology and the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed a collective interlayer-sliding mechanism in ferroelectric moiré superlattices, identifying the roles of domain-wall motion and atomic defects in controlling their dynamics.

A research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a method for manufacturing flexible films that can effectively shield electromagnetic waves across a broad frequency range.

A research team from the Institute of Biophysics has revealed the connection between clinical characteristics (etiology, age, and time since injury) and brain network connectivity, as well as their crucial role in patients' functional recovery.

Researchers led by Prof. BAI Shuo from the Institute of Process Engineering have developed a thermoresponsive hydrogel sealant—inspired by slugs—that has proved effective at sealing gastrointestinal fistulas in animal models. The sealant, which is injected through a standard endoscope, rapidly solidifies upon entering the body, thus offering a new, minimally invasive way to treat gastrointestinal fistulas.

A research team led by ZHANG Zhirong at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a CO₂ sensor that combines high sensitivity with a wider measurement range.

A research team led by Prof. YANG Dong from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Dalian Jiaotong University, has developed a synergistic additive strategy for large-area slot-die coating of methylammonium-free (MA-free) perovskite films.

Researchers from the Institute of Oceanology have found that improved temperature conditions do not necessarily make the Mediterranean more environmentally accessible to several tuna species. The region's relatively high salinity, changes in upper-ocean mixing, and other environmental differences may continue to limit their potential use of the basin.

Researchers from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences used satellite images collected across the growing season to map shrub cover in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, China. By tracking seasonal differences in growth, they were able to distinguish shrub patches from dense grass, which can look similar in a single image.

A research team led by Prof. LI Xiaofeng from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a model to forecast internal solitary waves originating from multiple sources in the Sulu Sea. The model combines physical equations and satellite observations to predict wave arrival times and crest positions across this complex marine environment.

Researchers from the Institute of Biophysics, Zhejiang University, and Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital, have systematically elucidated how the costimulatory receptor CD28 and the coinhibitory receptor PD-1 regulate T cell activation through phase separation.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden found that some bird species act as “double mutualists” for a common mistletoe, both pollinating its flowers and dispersing its seeds. These double mutualists play a highly effective role in mistletoe reproduction.

A new study by Prof. ZHANG Peng's team from the Institute of Biophysics, together with collaborators, provides evidence that feedback signals expressed in V1 are necessary for visual awareness of an object's "predicted" current position.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and their collaborators suggest that the PhoD gene and the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) it encodes may help sustain organic phosphorus (P) mineralization even in acidic soils.

A research team led by Profs. XU Guowang and LIU Xinyu from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with researchers from Dalian University of Technology, has developed a high-coverage lipidomics workflow and integrated it with transcriptomics to investigate lipid accumulation and compositional changes in Rhodosporidium toruloides under nitrogen limitation.
