In our brain, there are around 10 billion neurons and the neural synapses are the basic and connection units transferring the information between them. The neural transmitters, released by presynaptic neurons, diffuse into the synaptic cleft and then bind to the corresponding receptors on postsynaptic neurons, thereby regulating their neuronal activity and accomplishing the information tra... more |

Adaptation to extreme environmental conditions is one of the major topics of evolutionary biology. High elevations provide extreme environments challenging the survival of many species. It is of strategic and scientific significance to study the mechanism of Plateau adaptation, especially given that China has the largest plateau areas in the world.
In particular, the Qinghai-Tibetan Pl... more |

Triplophysa is an ecologically important and taxonomically challenging genus distributed in lakes, rivers, and streams of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and adjacent regions. Species of Triplophysa are distributed westward to the Aral Sea basin and across interior drainages of Baluchistan and northwestward to Western Mongolia and adjoining Russia. Recently, scientists found four new member of... more |

Tissue repair is a common problem during animal survival; however, scar tissue formation is a common by-product of human wound healing, which can lead to severe clinical dysfunction. Therefore, how to promote tissue regeneration and repair while reducing scar formation is an important issue.
Amphibian skin plays an important physiological role in breathing and hydro-salinity balance, a... more |
