A new study reveals how floral traits and pollinator communities vary geographically in the obligate pollination mutualism between Kadsura longipedunculata and gall midges, supporting the geographic mosaic theory of coevolution.

A comprehensive review in Biological Diversity maps two decades of breakthroughs in Chinese seed plant genetic diversity research, links advances to sequencing technology, identifies key threats from climate change and habitat loss, and proposes a clear agenda to integrate genetics into global biodiversity conservation.

New research redefines the role of botanic gardens as vital healing spaces for human health and planetary conservation.

New research outlines a multi-dimensional strategy for fungal conservation, prioritizing species recognition, evolutionary analysis and targeted habitat protection to safeguard this understudied keystone group of life.

RNA is fundamental to all life, governing gene expression, regulating biological processes, and influencing growth, development, and cellular metabolism. However, elucidating the precise mechanisms of these functions requires methods to probe the complex structure, dynamics, and interactions of RNA molecules. In recent years, RNA segment-selective labeling has emerged as an essential technique for studying RNA structure, function, and dynamics.

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) remains a global health challenge with limited regenerative therapeutic options. This review delineates advancements in stem cell-based therapies, emphasizing their potential to restore auditory function through cellular regeneration and molecular modulation.
