A new study led by the Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified a unique trait in the aquatic plant Ottelia alismoides that it can simultaneously employ three distinct CO₂-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs). This finding provides new insights into how these pathways, long considered incompatible within the same plant tissue, can operate concurrently.
A new study by Prof. ZHANG Xiaoming from the Kunming Institute of Zoology has uncovered a direct genetic link between ancient practitioners of the Hanging Coffin burial tradition and the modern Bo people in Southwest China. The findings offer unprecedented insight into the deep ancestral origins and migratory history associated with this unique mortuary practice.
A research group led by Prof. ZHANG Peng from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed how the human brain resolves perceptual conflicts and generates conscious perception through local inhibition in the sensory cortex and feedback integration from the parietal cortex.
Researchers from Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Fudan University developed a label-free intraoperative navigation system based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering, which enables real-time, in situ grading of prostate tumor malignancy by simultaneously detecting tissue acidity and prostate-specific antigen activity.
A team led by WU Beili from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, determined the structures of GPR1 bound to chemerin and β-arrestin 1 or β-arrestin 2, as well as the structure of GPR1–β-arrestin 1 complex in the absence of chemerin. They elucidated a picture of arrestin-mediated modulation of GPR1, deepening our understanding of non-canonical GPCR signaling.
A joint research team from the Institute of Biophysics and Tsinghua University has developed a novel live-cell DNA imaging technology called CRISPR PRO-LiveFISH (Pooled gRNAs with Orthogonal bases LiveFISH), a novel live-cell DNA imaging technology that integrates CRISPR technology with expanded genetic alphabet technology.
