Researchers from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University, identified S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) as a novel gene linked to age-related obesity for the first time.

A study led by ZHONG Chao's team from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology and George M. Church's group from Harvard University developed a recombinase-based programmable platform which enables a single founder cell to autonomously generate multiple descendant cell types in controlled differentiation ratios and fate-branching to proceed according to preset genetic rules.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and Northeast Forestry University revealed that trees adopt distinct strategies to balance water transport, sugar distribution, and storage depending on their climate. This study is the first to systematically compare the functional ratios of mature, canopy-level woody plants.

A research group led by Prof. GE Ziyi and Prof. LIU Chang at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has developed an innovative colloidal chemistry strategy to enhance the performance of all-perovskite tandem solar cells (TSCs). The study was published in Joule.

A research team led by Prof. WANG Hongzhi from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a programmable plasmonic ring biosensor, MetaRing, which is capable of rapidly and accurately identifying paclitaxel sensitivity in breast cancer patients.
