CU Medicine analysed the six widely consumed edible crab species with 64 serum samples from crab-allergic patients, and found 11 crab allergens. The research team also discovered a distinct allergen of king crab and registered as Para c 11. These findings will help promote accurate diagnosis of shellfish allergies.

Research team members include (from left) Professor Chu Ka-hou; Professor Emeritus of the School of Life Sciences at CUHK, Professor Leung Ting-fan, Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Charity Foundation Professor of Paediatrics and Dr Christine Wai Yee-yan, Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Paediatrics of CU Medicine.

Scientists have used laser-imaging to unveil exceptional fine-line tattoos with details as narrow as 0.1-0.2 mm on 1,200-year-old mummified human remains from Peru’s ancient Chancay culture. The discovery reveals details far surpassing the resolution of even modern tattooing techniques. Picture A: a tattoo under natural light. Picture B: the same tattoo under laser-stimulated fluorescence (LSF).

A research team led by CUHK and University of Edinburgh scientists discovered never-seen-before structural details within the soft tissue tail vane of an early flying reptile using laser imaging. This allowed the team to solve the mystery of how the tail vane was used and clarify its role in enabling pterosaurs, the first vertebrates to evolve powered flight, to dominate the skies before birds.

Among the six scientists taking part in the 41st Antarctic expedition, four are from CUHK and two are from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). The CUHK scientists include (upper row middle) Professor Alex Chow Tat-shing, Chairman of the Department of Earth and Environmental Science, (upper row right) Professor Martin Tsui Tsz-ki, Associate Professor, School of Life Sciences and Department of Earth and Environmental Science, and (upper row left) Professor Michael Pittman, Assistant Profes-sor, School of Life Sciences. Professor Liu Lin, Associate Professor from CUHK’s De-partment of Earth and Environmental Science, will join the expedition team later. The two HKUST scientists are Professor Li Jiying (As-sistant Professor, Department of Ocean Sci-ences) and Dr Chen Zhaoliang (Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Ocean Sciences).

A research team led by CUHK and Dakota State University scholars discovered that a famous pre-avian dinosaur trackway was produced by the animal flapping its arms to help it run at high speed. This “flap running” behaviour probably just preceded takeoff or just followed landing. The team’s findings confirm that pre-avian flap running was not limited to birds.

A research team led by a CUHK scholar and a National Geographic Explorer discovered a new species of abelisaurid theropod in Patagonia called Koleken inakayali. Their discovery increases the diversity of these dominant carnivores within Late Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystems.

The research team produced a life reconstruction of the early bird Bohaiornis (centre), flanked by Longipteryx (left) and Pengornis (right), which lived during the Early Cretaceous period in what is now Northeastern China. They reconstructed Bohaiornis as eating plants like the pictured conifer, Longipteryx as likely eating invertebrates like the pictured mayfly, and Pengornis as a generalist feeder capable of killing large prey like the pictured fish.
