Try, Try, and Try Again: Complicating the Genetic Mechanisms of Schizophrenia
Working alongside researchers from the Institute of Mental Health at the Second Xiangya Hospital, Ph.D candidate MA Liang and his colleagues of the Key Laboratory of Animal Models and Human Disease Mechanisms at the Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (KIZ, CAS) are working to better understand genetic risk factors associated schizophrenia in Han Chinese.

Southeast Asia’s Drug Trade has Unintended Consequences for HIV
Collaborating with colleagues from the Institute of Life Sciences in Jiangsu, the Second People’s Hospital of the Yunnan Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Yunnan Kunming Blood Center, Drs. PANG Wei and ZHENG Yongtang of the Kunming Institute of Zoology (KIZ, CAS) undertook an in-depth study on the rising entanglement of the drug trade and HIV-1 epidemic along the Golden Triang... more
Researchers Reveal Patrilineal Perspective on Austronesian Diffusion in Mainland Southeast Asia
As the major Austronesian speakers, the Cham people established the ancient Champo Kingdom in Mainland Southeast Asia (MSEA) with a history of over one thousand years. Its origin has been studied from various perspectives, among which the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis in Cham and Kinh individuals from Vietnam suggested that the origin of the Cham was likely a process of assimilation of mas... more
KIZ Revisits Phylogenetic Relationships among Colobine Monkeys
Colobinae is a subfamily of the Old World monkey family. It consists of 10 genera in two subtribes, namely the African Colobinae (including genera Colobus, Piliocolobus, and Procolobus) and the Asian Colobinae (including genera Pygathrix, Rhinopithecus, Nasalis, Simias, Presbytis, Trachypithecus, and Semnopithecus). The phylogenetic relationships among the Asian and African colobine genera have... more
Retinoids binding proteins transporter mechanisms difference research made new progress

  Similar protein architectures can be used to bind identical ligands via completely different ways. Retinoids binding proteins are good case for this principle. Interestingly, although RBP, ERABP, CRBPs and CRABPs have homologous structural motifs and overlapping ligand specificity, they have different binding mechanisms.In the same family of proteins and subcellular location, the orientati... more
