A recent study, conducted by researchers from the Beijing Institute of Genomics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Zoology at CAS, and Sichuan University, has produced the first "molecular movie" that illustrates how organs age. The researchers tracked over 12,700 proteins across 13 different tissues from 76 individuals aged 14 to 68 using ultra-sensitive mass spectrometry and artificial intelligence.
A team led by Prof. CHEN Lingling from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed a spatiotemporal separation in the processing of distinct rRNA precursors (pre-rRNAs) within the nucleolus, offering a new perspective on how nucleolar architecture is functionally organized.
Prof. GAO Caixia from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and her collaborators proposed an integrated framework that combines biotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize crop breeding.
Biodiversity loss ranks among the world's most pressing crises, prompting global action under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework—adopted at the 15th Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity. A key plank of the framework is Target 3, known as the "30x30" goal: protecting at least 30% of the planet's land and oceans by 2030. For nations like China—balancing large populations, economic growth, and conservation—meeting this target requires novel strategies, according to a new study.
A new study led by Dr. MAO Bingyu and his colleagues from the Kunming Institute of Zoology uncovers the critical role of the protein ZC4H2 in regulating synaptic activity and cognitive function, offering new hope for treating ZC4H2-associated rare disorder (ZARD), a debilitating neurodevelopmental condition.
A research team led by Dr. DU Yi from the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Dr. Claude Alain of Canada's Baycrest Academy for Research and Education, has found that long-term musical training can help counteract age-related declines in speech perception by enhancing cognitive reserve.
