The research team led by Prof. FEI Hao from Suzhou Institute of Nano-tech and Nano-Bionics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences used a strategy of hydrophobicity-tuning on a set of artificial peptides and discovered an optimized peptide being particularly responsive to the acidic environment on the endosomal membrane.
In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) characterized the roles of bHLH11 in the maintenance of Fe homeostasis in Arabidopsis. They showed that bHLH11 acts an active repressor by recruiting TOPLESS (TPL)/TPL-RELATED (TPRs). bHLH11 contributes to Fe homeostasis by repressing bHLH IVc transcription factors.
Researchers from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and their collaborators have revealed the key molecular mechanisms of how telomerase repeatedly uses its RNA template to synthesize telomeric DNA.
The research group led by Prof. ZHOU Bingsheng from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that bis (2-ethylhexyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrabromophthalate (TBPH) had poor penetrability through BBB, but could increase the permeability of BBB by affecting the tight junctions, which may result in disturbed homeostasis across BBB, thus causing adverse effects on the nervous system.
Researchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden, the Australian Rivers Institute, the Griffith University, and the Northern Arizona University have studied the responses of benthic metabolism to environmental attributes at the habitat, reach, and catchment scales in South East Queensland, Australia.
A research team led by YANG Wulin from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) reported their discovery that a metabolic regulation mechanism may play a role in malignant transformation of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis to liver tumor.
