Study Reveals Sex-Specific Control of Gut-Liver-Gonad Axis by Immune Regulatory Gene in Zebrafish

A research group led by Associate Prof. WU Nan and Prof. XIA Xiao-Qin from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the sex-dimorphic immune-metabolic regulation controlled by foxp3a across the gut-liver-gonad axis in zebrafish.
Rumen Ciliates Modulate Methane Emissions in Ruminants

A collaborative study led by Prof. MIAO Wei from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in partnership with Nanjing Agricultural University, Jianghan University, Jilin Agricultural University, and Northwestern Polytechnical University, has uncovered the mechanisms by which rumen ciliates modulate methane emissions in ruminants.
Native Niche Differentiation Promotes Biotic Resistance to Freshwater Fish Invasions Worldwide

Researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB), Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with collaborators from Hunan University of Science and Technology, the University of León (Spain), Zhejiang Freshwater Fisheries Research Institute, and other institutions, identified a global mechanism underlying biotic resistance to freshwater fish invasions.
