A research team led by Prof. QIAN Youcun from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified a new member of the human IL‑17 receptor family, IL‑17REL, which plays a protective role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and showed that genetic variants in IL17REL critically affect IBD.
Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences summarized how compound leaves develop. Their study offers a clearer view of the genetic “toolkit” that shapes these elaborate leaves.
Researchers from the Kunming Institute of Zoology have demonstrated that the Hide-in-Bird Pond model, a community-based, grassroots avitourism initiative in which local communities establish artificial ponds and feeding stations to attract avian species for non-invasive observation and photography, has proliferated rapidly across China.
Researchers led by Prof. LIANG Yu from the Institute of Botany have uncovered the mechanisms underlying plant community assembly and biodiversity maintenance, revealing that plant-associated microorganisms play a pivotal yet underappreciated role in mediating species coexistence.
A research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science has developed a dual-mode flexible hydrogel sensor integrating both surface-enhanced Raman scattering and colorimetric detection approaches. The sensor enables ultra-sensitive detection of hexanal, a volatile organic compound biomarker for lung cancer, offering a new solution for early non-invasive screening of lung cancer.
An international team led by Prof. WANG Qidong from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed a new unified model to reveal the unimodal relationship between productivity and species richness in fish communities.
