Scientists uncover hidden microbial process linking sulfur and iron2025-09-10A team of scientists led by Dr. CHEN Songcan from the College of Environmental and Resource Sciences at Zhejiang University has discovered that microbes can power their growth by linking two key chemical reactions—sulfide oxidation and iron reduction—processes previously thought to occur only through non-living chemistry. The study, conducted in collaboration with the University of Vien... READ MORE |
Do leaves and soil speak in scents?2025-09-09Soil is far more than a medium for crops to anchor their roots take root; it is a vast and intricate living network. Crop health and yield depend not only on above-ground growth, but also on the soil environment and microbial communities surrounding the roots.On August 15, Science published a research article by Professor Prof. XU Jianming and Researcher Prof. HU Lingfei from Zhejiang Univers...

HUANG He’s team unravels the novel role and mechanism of BRD4 as transcriptional repressor of RhoB to inhibit terminal erythropoiesis2025-09-08Blood transfusion is the most widely used form of cell therapy. However, global blood supply is under strain due to challenges such as population aging and epidemics. The production of 'artificial blood' using stem cells could open up new sources for blood supply, particularly to meet the demand for rare blood types. Nevertheless, current methods for generating red blood cells from stem ce... READ MORE |
