and Affect the Growth of the Invasive Plant and Its Defense Against the Specialist Herbivore .

Exotic plants can selectively recruit beneficial microorganisms, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs) and spp., during their invasion process to enhance growth and competitiveness by improving nutrient absorption and strengthening defense capabilities against herbivores. However, research in the context of invasive plants remains limited.

Integrating Rehabilitation Services into Routine Care of Rheumatoid Arthritis May Reduce the Inflammatory Response: A Hospital-Based Follow-Up Study in Taiwan.

For persons with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the accompanying systemic inflammatory conditions often insidiously damage extra-glandular organs, causing poor outcomes. Despite evidence manifesting the application of rehabilitation services (RSs), the association between RSs use and changes in the inflammatory response among persons with RA has not yet been established. With that in mind, this study aimed to evaluate changes in C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) before and after long-term RSs use.

Neurotrophin-3 as a mediator in the link between PM exposure and psychiatric disorders: A Mendelian randomization study.

Background: The causal relationship between PM (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm) and common mental disorders, along with its neuropathological mechanisms, remains unclear.

Methods: We used genome-wide association study datasets from the UK Biobank and Psychiatric Genomics Consortium to systematically investigate the causal relationship between PM and nine common psychiatric disorders using two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR) methods.

Evolocumab for early reduction of LDL-C levels in patients with acute ischemic stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) has been determined as an established risk factor for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Despite the recommendation for in-hospital initiation of high-intensity statin therapy in AIS patients, achieving the desired target LDL-C levels remains challenging. Evolocumab, a highly effective and quickly acting agent for reducing LDL-C levels, has yet to undergo extensively exploration in the acute phase of AIS.

Comprehensive analysis of scRNA-seq and bulk RNA-seq reveals the non-cardiomyocytes heterogeneity and novel cell populations in dilated cardiomyopathy.

Background: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the most common causes of heart failure. Infiltration and alterations in non-cardiomyocytes of the human heart involve crucially in the occurrence of DCM and associated immunotherapeutic approaches.

Methods: We constructed a single-cell transcriptional atlas of DCM and normal patients.
