Study Reveals Divergent Responses of Bacteria and Algae to Environmental Variability in Glacier-Fed Stream

A research team led by Prof. WU Chenxi from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has investigated how environmental variability shapes bacterial and eukaryotic algal diversity in glacier-fed stream biofilms. The study revealed contrasting spatial and temporal patterns between these two microbial groups, highlighting the importance of considering multiple biological domains when assessing biodiversity responses to environmental change.
Hepatic FoxO1 Loss Impairs Pancreatic β Cells via Liver-Derived Ceramides

A research team led by Prof. HAN Dong and their collaborators discovered that hepatic FoxO1 loss triggers the overproduction of specific lipid messengers–C18/22/24 ceramides–that travel to the pancreatic islets and contribute to β cell apoptosis.
Study Uncovers Mechanisms Governing the Stability of Sediment Reducing Capacity

A research group led by Prof. LI Qingman from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported their findings in Environmental Science & Technology. The study reveals the dynamics and stability mechanisms of sediment RC and its key components, and provide a scientific basis for refined classification and targeted management of aquatic sediments.
