A research group led by Ma Fuqiang from the Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology has established a Fluorescence-Activated Droplet Sorting platform. Based on droplet microfluidics technology, this platform can screen large mutant libraries at the single-cell level, with a daily screening throughput of over 10 million mutants.
A research team led by Eric H. Xu and XU Youwei from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica reported cryo-electron microscopy structure of the human EP1 receptor in complex with PGE2 and the heterotrimeric Gq protein, completed structural atlas of EP receptor family, and revealed EP1-specific mechanisms of ligand recognition and signal transduction.
Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have unveiled the structures of Arabidopsis AUXIN RESISTANT 1 protein (AUX1) and clarified the molecular mechanism by which this protein transports auxin into the cell via the proton concentration gradient.
Recently, a joint Chinese–American research team led by Dr. HU Han from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Dr Jingmai O'Connor from the Field Museum of Natural History (Chicago) announced the discovery and scientific description of the 14th known specimen of Archaeopteryx, known as the Chicago Archaeopteryx.
A recent study highlights the impact of the African arid corridor, a geological phenomenon from the Miocene epoch, on the evolution and distribution of the Trichoneura genus.
Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified a new plant species, Eumachia brevipedunculata, in the tropical rainforests of southern Yunnan, China, and northern Laos.
