A research team led by Prof. YUAN Junying from the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences elucidated the regulatory mechanism of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) risk gene INPP5D in microglial RIPK1 activation, and uncovered a new molecular link between neuroinflammation and LOAD with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis comorbidity.

A decade-long study has revealed that rising atmospheric CO₂ and warming work together to reduce the availability of phosphorus (P) in rice-upland rotation systems, which could threaten future food security. Led by researchers from the Institute of Soil Science, the study shows that warming plays a dominant role in redirecting phosphorus into less accessible soil pools.

A new study led by Prof. FENG Xiaojuan from the Institute of Botany reports that climate warming can increase soil carbon accumulation in boreal Sphagnum peatlands by boosting plant productivity, protecting iron, and inhibiting microbial decomposition. These responses contrast sharply with warming-enhanced soil carbon mineralization—the process by which carbon is released as CO₂—in boreal forests and tundra.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated the spatial distribution characteristics of the PhoD gene and its environmental driving factors in tropical and subtropical forests. They revealed that the abundance of PhoD was primarily shaped by elevation, soil pH, and calcium availability.

Researchers from the Hefei Institute of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have identified a key molecular module that regulates rice plant architecture, providing valuable genetic resources and regulatory modules for molecular breeding.

A research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a fast, multiplatform-compatible detection network that can "see" gas leaks in three dimensions.

Researchers from the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have conducted a new study on the temporal evolution of the afterglow from gamma-ray burst GRB 240825A. The study offers new evidence to better understand the physical environment surrounding gamma-ray bursts and provides insights into the mechanisms that govern their afterglow emission.

A research team led by Prof. CHONG Kang from the Institute of Botany, in collaboration with Prof. GUO Zifeng's research group, has identified a molecular regulatory module that controls flowering time in wheat, providing key genetic targets for improving and adapting wheat cultivars.

Prof. LU Nianpeng's group from the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences synthesized a new hexagonal BaAl2O4 film, which is a hexagonal structure completely different from cubic or tetragonal material systems.

Researchers led by CAS member ZHU Jiaojun from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have reported a series of studies clarifying how complex wind regimes in mountainous forests affect carbon flux measurements.

Researchers led by Prof. GUO Bin from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science have systematically analyzed heat extraction and power conversion pathways for fusion power plants, providing an integrated framework for efficient fusion energy-to-electricity conversion.

Researchers led by Prof. SHI Jianlin from the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics have developed a novel silicon-based nanothrombolytic therapy that achieves efficient thrombus clearance and in situ regulation of the coagulation microenvironment while minimizing systemic bleeding risk.

A research team led by Prof. TANG Shibing from the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a new class of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors.

Researchers from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, have developed a high-resolution daily atmospheric carbon dioxide dataset covering China from 2016 to 2020.

A research team from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has clarified how deposited nitrogen is retained in forest ecosystems and how this process contributes to carbon sequestration across China.

Astronomers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory have uncovered compelling evidence that a collision between two molecular clouds is triggering star formation in G34, a molecular cloud.

Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a new way to significantly enhance upconversion luminescence in oxide perovskites, a class of materials known for their thermal and chemical stability, but has limited optical efficiency.

Researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory have developed an automated image classification model that can rapidly and objectively assess cloud conditions from all-sky camera images, offering a more efficient solution for continuous site monitoring.
