A new study led by Prof. ZHAO Yan from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has unveiled high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the human glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit 1 (hG6PC1), providing crucial insights into its role in energy metabolism and glucose metabolic genetic disorders.
Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences explored how microbial functional gene approaches can be used to protect soil health against AgNPs. They proposed an approach to improve the accuracy of toxicity predictions and identify impaired soil processes by employing a functional genomics analysis.
Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences elucidated the architecture and evolutionary process of genus Hippophae, and uncovered critical genes that control sex determination in this economically and ecologically significant genus.
Biodiversity loss ranks among the world's most pressing crises, prompting global action under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework—adopted at the 15th Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity. A key plank of the framework is Target 3, known as the "30x30" goal: protecting at least 30% of the planet's land and oceans by 2030. For nations like China—balancing large populations, economic growth, and conservation—meeting this target requires novel strategies, according to a new study.
A new study led by Dr. MAO Bingyu and his colleagues from the Kunming Institute of Zoology uncovers the critical role of the protein ZC4H2 in regulating synaptic activity and cognitive function, offering new hope for treating ZC4H2-associated rare disorder (ZARD), a debilitating neurodevelopmental condition.
A research team led by Dr. DU Yi from the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Dr. Claude Alain of Canada's Baycrest Academy for Research and Education, has found that long-term musical training can help counteract age-related declines in speech perception by enhancing cognitive reserve.
