Heat stress (HS) is an impactful condition in ruminants that negatively affects their physiological and rumen microbial composition. However, a fundamental understanding of metabolomic and metataxonomic mechanisms in goats under HS conditions is lacking. Here, we analyzed the rumen metabolomics, metataxonomics, and serum metabolomics of goats (n = 10, body weight: 41.

With reduced dimensionality and a high surface area-to-volume ratio, two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors exhibit intriguing electronic properties that are exceptionally sensitive to surrounding environments, including directly interfacing gate dielectrics. These influences are tightly correlated to their inherent behavior, making it critical to examine when extrinsic charge carriers are intentionally introduced to the channel for complementary functionality. This study explores the physical origin of the competitive transition between intrinsic and extrinsic charge carrier conduction in extrinsically -doped MoS, highlighting the central role of interactions of the channel with amorphous gate dielectrics.

Flaviviruses, which include globally impactful pathogens, such as West Nile virus, yellow fever virus, Zika virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, and dengue virus, contribute significantly to human infections. Despite the ongoing emergence and resurgence of flavivirus-mediated pathogenesis, the absence of specific therapeutic options remains a challenge in the prevention and treatment of flaviviral infections. Through the intricate processes of fusion, transcription, replication, and maturation, the complex interplay of viral and host metabolic interactions affects pathophysiology.

Article Synopsis
  • High-intensity statin therapy is effective in reducing mortality and cardiovascular events in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), but elderly patients often tolerate moderate-intensity statins better due to intolerance risks.
  • A study compared the incidence of statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in elderly ASCVD patients on either high-intensity statins or moderate-intensity statins combined with ezetimibe.
  • Results showed that combination therapy significantly reduced SAMS (0.7% vs 5.7%) while achieving comparable LDL-C target levels (75.4% vs 68.7%), indicating that moderate-intensity therapy with ezetim
