2022年生命科学热点回眸

Research highlights of bioscience in the year of 2022

2022年,为应对全球新冠疫情和其他各种严重疾病,病毒疫苗开发和基因治疗领域的研究都取得了突破性进展,对于粮食作物种植和人类基因组学的研究也有了振奋人心的发现。选取了Omicron变异株、猴痘、呼吸道合胞病毒疫苗、EBV可能导致多发性硬化症、猪器官移植到人体、猪心停跳后恢复全身多器官功能、持续生产的多年生水稻、小麦条锈病分子机制、提高玉米蛋白含量和氮利用率、基因编辑技术和疗法、人类基因组无间隙序列、古基因组学等方面的研究成果进行解读。

Through exploration,innovation and engineering,life science research is enriching our understanding of the nature both outside and inside us,with the ultimate goal to better serve and benefit mankind.In the past 2022,breakthroughs were made in the field of many areas which include viral vaccine development in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,trans-species organ transplant,crop optimization,the complete sequencing of a human genome,gene editing and therapy,and so on.Herein,we highlight a few breakthroughs that could either significantly enrich our knowledge of the problem or have the great potential to immediately transform our conditions and change our medical and social practice in the related area.
