Problems with cranial base growth, which supports the skull’s structure, can lead to several chronic conditions of the face and upper airway. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating this process remain poorly understood. In a recent study, researchers from the United States use a sophisticated mouse model to understand the role of RUNX2, a master regulator protein, in cranial base growth. Their findings offer new insights into craniofacial malformations and may contribute to identifying potential therapeutic targets.

Edible yeast Candida utilis can produce high-quality protein using DHA with 60.1% protein content at rapid growth rates, supporting sustainable feed and food supply.

A novel gas-lift reactor successfully improved the production efficiency of hydrogen oxidizing bacteria single cell protein, providing a new solution for sustainable biomanufacturing.

A team led by Prof. Zhenke Zhu from Ningbo University analyzed 261 soil samples across China to systematically compare the impacts of different legume crop rotations on soil properties and microbial communities, revealing the unique advantages of faba bean (Vicia faba) rotation in enhancing soil multifunctionality and its microbial-driven mechanisms. The relevant paper has been published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2025604).

A study published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2024598) by Vipul Kumar from Lovely Professional University, India, and Rachid Lahlali from the National School of Agriculture of Meknès, Morocco, provides an answer to this question.

Professor Zhiqiang Chen from Fujian Normal University and colleagues provide a scientific answer to these questions through a study covering 2002–2022. The relevant paper has been published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2024594).

In a paper published in MedComm – Future Medicine, a Chinese research team presents ImmunoCheckDB, a comprehensive web platform integrating meta-analysis and multiomic data to discover cancer immunotherapy biomarkers. The platform curates 173 studies on immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies, covering survival outcomes for 93,234 individuals across 18 cancer types and 30 ICI regimens, enabling pan-cancer exploration of molecular markers for ICI efficacy.
