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.
A team led by Prof. BI Guoqiang from the University of Science and Technology of China/Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, along with collaborators, delineated the intricate choreography of synaptic vesicle (SV) release and rapid recycling by using a self-developed, time-resolved cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) method, and identified a "kiss-shrink-run" pathway.
Researchers from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have now unveiled the molecular mechanisms that underlie L1's retrotransposition and integration into genomic DNA.
A collaborative research team led by LU Fei from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology and LIU Yongxiu from the Institute of Botany, together with their colleagues, has unraveled the genetic basis of antagonistic selection between seed dormancy and size in wheat through a large-scale genome-wide association study.
Researchers from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology have revealed the complete three-dimensional (3D) ultrastructure of xylem vessel pits in rice and identified a critical regulatory module, MYB61-PS1, that shapes the 3D structure of pits in rice.
