A research group led by Prof. HUANG Diying from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIGPAS) systematically studied the water boatman Karataviella popovi, a representative insect from the Middle-Late Jurassic Daohugou Biota of northeastern China. Of the 157 examined K. popovi fossils, 30 adult females were preserved with a cluster of eggs anchored on their left mesotibia.
Emma Lavaut and her colleagues from Sorbonne University and Universidad Austral de Chile found that a species of red seaweed uses the isopod crustacean Idotea balthica to transfer its male gametes for fertilization. In a Perspective article, Prof. Jeff Ollerton and Dr. REN Zongxin from the Kunming Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences concluded that this new study significantly expands the phylogenetic and temporal scope of animal-mediated male gamete movement.
A research group led by Prof. WAN Yinhua from the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a novel antifouling nanofiltration membrane for various types of industrial liquid separation. The new membrane applies new knowledge about the role of pore size distribution in filtration.
A joint research team led by John Speakman from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has found that "healthy underweight" individuals had lower food intakes and lower activity as well as surprisingly higher-than-expected resting metabolic rates linked to elevated levels of their thyroid hormones.
Human activity will increase the likelihood of more extreme heatwaves, according to a study led by researchers from the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology (SCSIO), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
LIU Xinfeng's group from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and collaborators from the University of Houston have now obtained accurate mobility figures for cubic boron arsenide (c-BAs).
Based on observation of elevated lactate in resected glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), researchers from the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shenzhen Second People’s Hospital have developed a biomimetic formulation using targeted delivery agents for lactate metabolism-based synergistic therapy against GBM.
Researchers led by FU Qiaomei from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) reviewed the history of ancient DNA technological development, discussed current technical bottlenecks and solutions, and assessed the future of the technology.
