Trust is a vital lubricant that increases the sense of security in social interactions. In this study, we investigated the intergroup trust between the Uyghur and the Han, the two largest ethnic groups in Xinjiang, China, with a Go/No-Go Association Task. Specifically, we instructed Uyghur and Han participants to respond to ethnic faces (Uyghur vs. Han) and trust/distrust words and measured the strength of the automatic associations between the faces and words for both in-group and out-group pairs. As expected, both ethnic groups showed implicit in-group trust and out-group distrust, but the Han group demonstrated stronger in-group trust and out-group distrust toward the Uyghur than the Uyghur group toward the Han. However, the magnitude of distrust of the Han toward the Uyghur was small to medium as compared with that reported by other intergroup relationship research. In addition, participant geographic location was associated with out-group distrust. These findings offer implications for developing effective strategies to encourage trust between conflicting groups.

To clarify the effects of pervaporation and distillation on aroma profiles, the Sensomics approach investigated the aroma characteristics and key aroma compounds of Cabernet Sauvignon (CS) and Ugni Blanc (UB) grape spirits produced by pervaporation (UB-P, CS-P) and distillation (UB-D, CS-D). The results indicated that pervaporated grape spirits exhibited stronger floral and fruity aromas, while distilled grape spirits were characterized by more pronounced cooked apple and toasty aromas. Consumers preferred products with intense floral and fruity aromas and weaker cooked apple note.

Purpose: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a leading cause of anovulatory infertility and closely correlated with apoptosis in ovarian granulosa cells (GCs). Programmed cell death protein-1/programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) pathway plays an important role throughout gestation and the pathogenesis of adverse pregnancy outcomes, but its mechanism in PCOS remains unclear.
Methods: The RNA sequencing data for PCOS patients were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases.

The Yugur people represent one of the ethnic groups residing within the Hexi Corridor, distinguishable by their small population size, linguistic diversity, intricate ancestral components, serving as a quintessential exemplar of the populations inhabiting this corridor. There are still many controversial issues in the academic community regarding the origin, migration, and formation process of the Yugur. In this study, we explored the formation process of the Yugur from the perspective of molecular anthropology, based on the paternal genetic characteristics of the Yugur people.

Article Synopsis
- Atherosclerosis (AS) is a prevalent condition leading to high rates of illness and death, with a study exploring the effects of Uyghur medicines quince and basil in treating AS.
- Researchers used network pharmacology and bioinformatics to identify four key genes involved in the anti-AS effects of these herbs and conducted experiments to validate their findings.
- The study confirmed that the co-administration of quince and basil significantly impacts the expression of these hub genes (COL1A1, COL3A1, BGLAP, NOX4), supporting their potential use in treating Atherosclerosis.
