In a recent study, led by Professor ZHANG Yongqing from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with Professor HU Li from the Institute of Psychology of CAS, employed a Shank3 mutant dog model to investigate ASD-associated abnormalities in somatosensory processing.
A research group led by Prof. WU Aiguo and Prof. LI Juan at the Laboratory of Advanced Theranostic Materials and Technology, Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), developed a novel method for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) therapy by transplanting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which improved the therapeutic efficacy and realized the real-time treatment visualization. The study was published in Science Advances.
Spatial transcriptomics has emerged as a powerful tool for in situ analysis of gene expression within tissues. However, current technologies still face several challenges, including high costs, limited field of view, and low throughput, significantly hindering their application in large-scale tissue research and the analysis of complex biological processes.
Is aging reversible? This timeless question has now been answered by scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Specifically, a pivotal discovery by CAS scientists in the field of aging has shown that metformin, commonly used for type 2 diabetes, can alleviate human cellular senescence, markedly slowing down aging in primates. This breakthrough offers fresh insights into the biology of aging and holds promise for developing interventions for humans as they grow older.
A study from the Institute of Botany at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IBCAS) has demonstrated that the association between multitrophic diversity and ecosystem multifunctionality is stronger than the relationship between the diversity of individual trophic groups and multifunctionality.
Recently, a collaborative research team led by Prof. WANG Hui and Prof. QIAN Junchao from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences designed a catalytically active, photoresponsive Fe-doped carbon nanoparticles (FDCN) for second near infrared (NIR-II) photothermal-enhanced chemodynamic therapy.
