Recently, Prof. XIE, Can from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory of Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, in a collaboration with Prof. YAN Xiyun’s lab, reported the structural basis of how mAb AA98 inhibited CD146-mediated endothelial cells (EC) activation and designed higher affinity monoclonal antibody HA98 for cancer treatment.
Dr. Andrea M. Garofalo, sciences manager in General Atomics and co-leader of the US-China “International Collaboration Center for Tokamak Energy Development”, won the 2020 Anhui Science and Technology Cooperation Award, as one of two recipients among international scientists.
The applied nitrogen (N) in crop production is easily lost through ammonia emission and N leaching. Therefore many attempts have been made on the development of novel slow-release fertilizers to reduce N loss and improve crop production. A research team led by Professor WU Yuejin from Institute of Intelligent Machines, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science assessed the performances of a novel matrix-based slow-release urea on rice production recently, and developed a novel matrix-based slow-release urea (MSU) to improve N use efficiency in rice production.
A research team led by Prof. WU Lifang from Institute of Intelligent Machines, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) investigated the genetic regulation of red pigment formation in Chinese tallow leaves and identified an R2R3-MYB transcription factor SsMYB1, which positively regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis and determines leaf color in Chinese tallow, from Chinese tallow, a kind of ornamental tree widely planted in China.
Anhui government presented Becoulet Alain Jacques from Hefei Institute of Physical Science (HFIPS) with Mount. Yellow Award for his outstanding contribution in the nuclear fusion energy field between China and France. "I am very happy to have this reward,” said BECOULET Alain Jacques, the former president of The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission or CEA
