#ThinkingAloud What Do Lunar Samples Look Like? 🌕 Planetary scientist HE Huaiyu from IGG shares a fun fact: Lunar samples are black powder, even finer than flour — straight from the Moon! ✨ 🎥 Watch the video and get a closer look at lunar soil! #CAS #LunarSample #FunFact #Moon #LunarSoil #Universe

We teamed up with @Inserm and partners to host the China–France Healthy Ageing Seminar in #Shenzhen (March 8–10)! 🤝🌍 90+ experts explored 🧠 brain health, 🧬 ageing & cancer, 🥗 nutrition, and 🔬 next-gen diagnostics & therapeutics. Stronger together for healthier ageing! 💪👵👴 #CAS #Inserm #SIAT #HealthyAgeing #ChinaFrance #ResearchCollaboration

🐟 We've found the oldest bony fish fossils! A 3 cm tiny fish shows traits found in all modern fishes. A 1 m big fish solves a decades-old tooth puzzle. These discoveries highlight southern China as a cradle of early vertebrates. 🔗 english.cas.cn/newsroom/headl… #CAS #IVPP #Fossils #Evolution #AncientLife #Paleontology #BonyFish

🧬 We drew a "growth map" of the vascular system, revealing how blood vessels form organ-specific identities during embryonic development. This map solves a long-standing mystery and provides a blueprint for repairing or regenerating the body's vital vessel networks. #CAS #BiomedicalResearch #HumanHealth #Genetics #DevelopmentalBiology #VascularBiology

🧬 A new advance may boost a powerful leukemia treatment. Scientists built a tiny molecular "bridge" that helps immune cells stay attached to cancer cells—making it harder for leukemia to hide.
