New from Wei Wang's lab: Postharvest strawberries maintain rhythmic homeostasis during cold storage, a phenomenon counterintuitively sustained by a non-canonical, quasi-circadian regulatory network. #PKUResearch#SLSPKU#PKU#Cell https://t.co/nQSwhDgn5E
Lab mode: OFF. Sports mode: ON! 🔋⚡️
Stepping out of their labs and onto the sports field, professors and students from seven teams shared a good dose of fun and games.
Spring is for moving! 🌿💪

New from Hongkui Deng’s lab: The tumor suppressor p53—long viewed as a cellular reprogramming barrier—surprisingly serves as an essential guardian of chemical reprogramming.
A paradigm shift for safe and controllable cell fate engineering. #PKUResearch#SLSPKU#PKU#Cell https://t.co/AzjJVHotft

Dr. Wensheng Wei's lab reviewed how base and prime editors drive high-throughput screens to decode disease-relevant variants at scale. #PKU#PKUResearch https://t.co/aLta8YCnoS
New insights into complement activation! Cryo-EM structures from Prof. Junyu Xiao’s lab reveal how C4b2a and C3bBb engage C3 in classical/lectin & alternative pathways, respectively (2.6-3.1 Å). Key to disease & drug development!https://t.co/sEfwZrJwpD

New study from Junyu Xiao’s lab: Human FcRL5 is a unique IgG receptor! Cryo-EM reveals it grabs TWO Fcγ molecules to bind immune complexes & internalize them. Time to rethink IgG receptors beyond the canonical FcγRs! #PKU#PKUResearch#SLSPKU https://t.co/QGJYfasQSZ
Xiong Ji's group revealed that FeaSion decodes the regulatory landscape and functional diversity of RNA polymerase II CTD phosphorylation. #PKUResearch https://t.co/aDtvOX4uLB
Congratulations to Prof. Deng Hongkui and Prof. Qu Lijia from the School of Life Sciences at Peking University on their election as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)!
Zhe Zhang’s group presents cryo-EM structures of the glucose-6-phosphate transporter SLC37A4—whose defect causes glycogen storage disease type Ib—in multiple functional states, revealing its mechanisms of substrate transport, inhibition, and pathology. https://t.co/DpZIX9W1hE
Breakthrough in biologics engineering! Research from Junyu Xiao's lab decoded the hexameric structure of frog IgX via cryo-EM & hacked human IgM/IgG to form super-efficient hexamers. #PKUResearch https://t.co/QLKb56F3kj
Ph.D. Programs at Peking University School of Life Sciences Admissions for 2026 Are Now OPEN💗
Welcome to the School of Life Sciences at Peking University.
Let’s embark on a journey together to unravel the mysteries of life! @PKU1898 https://t.co/imcoC8cUwA
He Yu's group and their collaborators revealed the geographic and temporal origins and subsequent dispersal and admixture of pigs in East Asia, mirroring human migration and agricultural development history. @PKUResearch https://t.co/wTrz9tW2FA
