Background: Infectious diseases are still one of the greatest threats to human health, and the etiology of 20% of cases of clinical fever is unknown; therefore, rapid identification of pathogens is highly important. Traditional culture methods are only able to detect a limited number of pathogens and are time-consuming; serologic detection has window periods, false-positive and false-negative problems; and nucleic acid molecular detection methods can detect several known pathogens only once. Three-generation nanopore sequencing technology provides new options for identifying pathogens.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a respiratory disorder characterized by severe inflammation of the alveoli and lung parenchyma. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), the main active compound in Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort (LC), can protect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI. Our study aimed to investigate how TMP protects the endothelial cell barrier in pulmonary capillaries.

Breast cancer is characterized by some types of heterogeneity, high aggressive behaviour, and low immunotherapeutic efficiency. Detailed immune stratification is a prerequisite for interpreting resistance to treatment and escape from immune control. Hence, the immune landscape of breast cancer needs further understanding.
