Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging global contaminants of profound concern for both environmental integrity and human health. Recent studies have examined their toxicity, transport pathways, and deposition in biological systems, revealing complex interactions and long-term accumulation in t …

In vegetable production, everything starts with the seeds. the final success of growing and obtaining a product depends on the quality of the seeds. there are many practices to improve seed quality. one of these is the use of plasma technologies in the germination of vegetable seeds. in the present …

The world continues to pollute the ocean, overfish the aquatic species, look for new protein and food supply, produce resilient coral reefs and reseed the great barrier reef. Sealife Aquariums Corporation now has perfected a manmade aquatic environment for food, fish and feed for aquaculture. On …

The impact of antisemitic trauma has emerged as a significant concern affecting the academic
performance and mental health of Jewish students in the United States. Recent studies indicate that
experiences of antisemitism can profoundly hinder students’educational pursuits, leading to

Background: Germline mutations contribute to cancer susceptibility, but systematic frameworks to infer cancer type directly from germline profiles remain limited.

Methods: We developed a retrograde prediction framework to identify likely cancer types from germline high-risk variants. High-risk ge …

Background Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome is a new concept proposed by the American Heart Association (AHA) that emphasizes the complex relationship between kidney disease, heart disease and metabolic factors. Many studies have shown that insulin resistance (IR) in CKM syndrome stage …

Background: Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are among the leading risk factors for mortality worldwide. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 Inhibitors (SGLT2i), such as empagliflozin, represent a last-generation drug class for T2DM treatment with cardiovascular benefits. This research projec …

Ecological resilience remains a central yet challenging concept to operationalise. In this study, we present the Biological Soil Resilience Index (BSR-Index), a composite, field-deployable metric that integrates three complementary bioindicators: soil microarthropods, entomopathogenic nematodes and …
