Megachile sculpturalis Smith, 1853 native to East Asia, is an important solitary bee species that has invaded both Europe and the United States. This study provides the first chromosome-level genome assembly of M. sculpturalis using a combination of Nanopore long reads, Illumina short reads, and Hi-C data.

This is a retrospective case series study. The clinic data of 25 lower quadrant breast cancer patients who underwent a breast-conserving surgery with advancement flap of full-thickness of upper abdominal wall at the Breast Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, from June 2022 to September 2023 were analyzed retrospectively.

We utilised Zeolite Zotero NaY-based plasma proteomics to investigate its potential for multiple event predicting, including lung cancer diagnosis (task #1), lymph node metastasis detection (task #2) and tumour‒node‒metastasis (TNM) staging (task #3).
Methods: A total of 4703 plasma proteins were quantified from 241 participants based on a prospective cohort of 2757 participants.
Chrysanthemi Flos has been consumed as floral tea for centuries, but the effects of stir-frying on its chemical profile, sensory characteristics, and bioactivity remain unclear. This study used untargeted metabolomics, sensory assessment (E-eye, E-nose, E-tongue), and antioxidant activity evaluation to investigate compositional changes and their effects. In the metabolomics analysis, a total of 101 non-volatile and 306 volatile differential metabolites were identified.

The three-dimensional (3D) target mirror serves as the spatial reference plane to achieve multidimensional interference measurements. However, the surface shape errors of the target mirror are superimposed on the geometric dimensions of the measured workpiece, which limits the system's overall measurement accuracy.
