A research team led by GAN Yong and YU Miaorong from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with HU Guoqing’ group from Zhejiang University, combining theoretical modeling with experimental studies, revealed the key role of cholesterol in regulating delivery of RNA drugs by exosomes, and the underlying mechanism.
A research group led by Dr. HE Kangmin from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently identified a novel endocytic recycling mechanism with kiss-and-run membrane fusion. Scientists named the mechanism clathrin-associated fast endosomal recycling pathway (CARP).
Prof. GU Zhanjun from the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Dr. YAN Junfang and Dr. ZHANG Fuquan from the Peking Union Medical College Hospital, discovered that cuproptosis may serve as a new target for radiosensitization in re-irradiation.
A team of researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have now, for the first time, revealed the scientific secrets behind the "cold and heat resistance" effects of Lycium barbarum. They exert the "cold and heat resistance" effects by promoting the browning of white adipose tissue and increasing thermogenesis, thereby resisting cold stress.
In a study published in Tree Physiology, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators studied the differences in radial growth and xylem formation of two common tree species in the tropical montane evergreen broad-leaved forest of Xishuangbanna in 2020 and 2021, as well as their relationship with climatic factors.
A recent study, jointly conducted by scientists from China and the USA, has provided new insights about biodiversity, exotic invasion, and their relationship to climate change. Published in Nature Plants, the research uncovers the climatic niche mechanisms that shape both the vulnerability of native ecosystems and the invasiveness of exotic species in a warming world.
