Good skin quality not only improved carcass quality but also increased consumer demand for fresh poultry meat. This study aimed to investigate the developmental changes in skin growth and quality of Pekin ducks during 1-6 weeks of age. The skin samples were collected from the breast, back, and thigh tissues of six male ducks at the end of each week.

- Gastric cancer has a poor prognosis and varied cellular characteristics, highlighting the need for a better understanding of its tumor microenvironment and heterogeneity to create effective treatments.
- Researchers analyzed single-cell RNA sequencing data and used machine learning to identify 18 significant genes related to gastric cancer, with a particular focus on NFKBIE, which showed a strong correlation with patient risk levels.
- The study suggests NFKBIE could serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target, with certain drugs like gemcitabine and chloropyramine possibly being effective against high-risk gastric cancer patients.
Background: Neurodermatitis is a chronic skin condition characterized by intense itching and skin thickening due to neurological dysfunction. Its persistent nature poses a challenge to effective treatment, significantly impacting patients' quality of life. Wet cupping therapy is increasingly being used in clinics to manage neurodermatitis, so it is imperative to assess the evidence regarding its effectiveness and safety.

Traditionally, the surface chemistry of nanoparticles (NPs) is considered the key factor in determining their interactions with biological systems. However, recent studies have shown that the mechanical properties of nanomaterials are equally important in regulating nano-bio interactions, though they have often been overlooked.
