A team of researchers from the Bird 10,000 Genomes (B10K) consortium, initiated by Professor ZHANG Guojie of Centre for Evolutionary & Organismal Biology at Zhejiang University and collaborators, has reported a new bird family tree that promises to reshape our understanding of avian evolution. Published in Nature on April 1st, 2024, the study entitled Complexity of avian evolution revealed by family-level genomes marks a pivotal advancement in the long-contested evolutionary relationshi...

Myocardial hypertrophy, characterized by an increase in cardiac muscle mass, is an adaptive response to pathological stimuli such as hypertension and valve disease. While initially beneficial, sustained hypertrophy may lead to further disease progression and exacerbate heart failure, which is one of the most common and deadly medical conditions worldwide and remains incurable. Inhibition or reversal of cardiac hypertrophy and subsequent maladaptive myocardial remodeling is the main treatments fo...
