Butterflies are highly sensitive to climate change, and , as an endangered butterfly species, is also affected by these changes. To enhance the conservation of and effectively plan its protected areas, it is crucial to understand the potential impacts of climate change on its distribution. This study utilized a MaxEnt model in combination with ArcGIS technology to predict the global potential suitable habitats of under current and future climate conditions, using the species' distribution data and relevant environmental variables.

Activation of the cGAS-STING-induced immune response and death plays a critical role in multiple organ injuries. However, no study has yet investigated the role of the cGAS-STING pathway in LIRI after lung transplantation.

As the N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) "writer" enzyme, NAT10 is reportedly involved in a variety of physiological and pathological activities. Currently, the NAT10-related molecular mechanisms in various cancers are not fully understood.

These defects may result in device instability, performance loss, and failure. Herein, a thermoplastic functional strategy is proposed for manufacturing high-performance stretchable semiconducting polymers with excellent strain-tolerance capacities for flexible electronic devices.
