We determined the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Belligobio nummifer, which is known as a cyprinid fish in mainland China, with a long polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. The total length of B. nummifer mitogenome is 16,610 bp, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs genes and a noncoding control region. The overall base composition of B. nummifer is 29.74% for A, 26.12% for T, 17.18% for G, and 26.97% for C, with a slight AT bias of 55.86%. The complete mitogenomic data may provide more informative for phylogenetic approach for gudgeons phylogeny.

Background: Stemona tuberosa, a vital species in traditional Chinese medicine, has been extensively cultivated and utilized within its natural distribution over the past decades. While the chloroplast genome of S. tuberosa has been characterized, its mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) remains unexplored.

species complex, referred to as (), is distributed globally with some species distributed in specific regions and others spread globally. In Greece, () in dogs, and and in livestock, have been repeatedly reported however only based on morphological identification. Recently, there has been a great effort to accurately identify the species belonging to the species complex, using modern molecular tools and describe their spatial distribution.

Seamounts are biodiversity hotspots that face increasing threats from anthropogenic activities. Seamounts host diverse sessile suspension-feeding organisms such as sponges and anthozoans, which are crucial for seamount ecosystems as they construct three-dimensional habitats utilized by numerous other animals. Therefore, accurate identification of seamount fauna, in particular of sessile suspension-feeding organisms, is of paramount importance for robust conservation efforts.

Copper-based nanoparticles have garnered significant interest in cancer therapy due to their ability to induce oxidative stress and cuproptosis in cancer cells. However, their antitumor effectiveness is constrained by the dynamic redox balance and the metabolic shift between oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. Here, a polydopamine-coated copper-α-ketoglutaric acid (α-KG) coordination polymer nanoparticle (CKPP) is designed for combined pyroptosis-cuproptosis cancer immunotherapy by amplifying reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and regulating cellular metabolism.

Malaria has been a leading cause of death in human populations for centuries and remains a major public health challenge in African countries, especially affecting children. Among the five Plasmodium species infecting humans, Plasmodium falciparum is the most lethal. Ancient DNA research has provided key insights into the origins, evolution, and virulence of pathogens that affect humans.
