Article Synopsis
  • Global warming has increased cold extremes that impact aquaculture economies, especially affecting milkfish (Chanos chanos) in subtropical regions due to high mortality from cold stress.* -
  • Researchers established a primary culture of milkfish liver cells to study the cellular response to cold stress, finding that the salinity levels of the water dramatically influenced reactive oxygen species (ROS) responses and cell death rates.* -
  • Transcriptomic analysis revealed distinct gene expression patterns linked to cold stress, with seawater conditions promoting metabolic pathways and fresh water leading to increased cell death, highlighting potential strategies for mitigating aquaculture losses.*

Evidence indicates that age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is associated with the prior presence of allergic diseases; however, large-scale studies in the literature are limited. A case-control study was conducted to describe the relationship between premorbid allergic diseases and AMD using Taiwan's National Health Insurance database. Eligibility criteria for inclusion of new adult AMD cases from 2000 to 2013 were set up.
