A recent review by Prof. ZHU Bing and Associate Professor XIONG Jun from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reveals how epigenetic regulation not only maintains gene transcriptional states but also "presets" gene expression states well before it is required.
Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified two new species of flowering plants in the remote forests of Motuo County, Xizang Autonomous Region, highlighting the region’s critical role as a global biodiversity refuge.
Researchers from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the collaborators reported that C. militaris infecting silkworm larvae promotes caterpillar feeding and weight gain, which benefits fungal fruiting on fatty and more nutritious pupae.
Researchers from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medical and Fudan University, designed a novel 3βHSD1 inhibitor, HEAL-116, which has superior enzymatic activity and favorable pharmacokinetic properties, providing a new strategy for prostate cancer treatment and overcoming resistance to second-generation ARPIs.
A research team led by Prof. KONG Xiangfeng from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed a novel strategy to enhance pork quality by modulating gut microbiota, potentially bridging the gap between the high meat yield of commercial pigs and the premium meat quality of Chinese indigenous pigs.
A new study has uncovered how the human brain's perception of pain is influenced by instructions—such as whether to perceive pain as separate sensations or as integrated multimodal pain. The study also reveals how this process works and identifies the neural mechanisms involved.
