A research team led by Profs. LI Ming and XIAO Xiao from the Kunming Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has published the most comprehensive genetic study of bipolar disorder (BD) to date across East Asian and European populations.
In a collaborative effort, researchers from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and China Agricultural University have revealed the antibacterial mechanism by which iron-sulfur nanozymes (nFeS) act on gut microbial metabolism to catalyze the production of indole derivatives, thereby synergistically combating intestinal infections in mice and pigs.
A study led by Dr. DU Yi from the Institute of Psychology and Dr. TENG Xiangbin from the Chinese University of Hong Kong reveals an even subtler form of synchronization: our eyes blink in time with musical rhythms, entirely without conscious effort.
A collaborative research team from the Institute of Biophysics and Wenzhou Medical University has revealed two opposing yet complementary mechanisms of ocular dominance plasticity operating in the subcortical and cortical regions of the adult visual system following short-term monocular deprivation.
A new study led by the Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified a unique trait in the aquatic plant Ottelia alismoides that it can simultaneously employ three distinct CO₂-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs). This finding provides new insights into how these pathways, long considered incompatible within the same plant tissue, can operate concurrently.
A new study by Prof. ZHANG Xiaoming from the Kunming Institute of Zoology has uncovered a direct genetic link between ancient practitioners of the Hanging Coffin burial tradition and the modern Bo people in Southwest China. The findings offer unprecedented insight into the deep ancestral origins and migratory history associated with this unique mortuary practice.
