According to the results, investigated methanolic extracts of endemic plant from Adjarian floristic region of Georgia do not have specific cytotoxicity against the cell lines of breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 human, which is typical, e.g., for plant pigment curcumin. At the same time, the high specific cytotoxicity of 2 and 3 fractions towards keratinocytes gives reason for considering endemic plant extracts, of Adjarian floristic region of Georgia, as a potential pharmacological means for topical treatment of pathologies caused by increased proliferation of keratinocytes, such as psoriasis.

Mountain ecosystems harbor high levels of biodiversity, but the genetic mechanisms underlying adaptation to harsh alpine conditions remain largely unknown. Bergenia purpurascens (Saxifragaceae) is an important alpine endemic species of the Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains (HHM), with this species being used as a source of medicine and as an ornamental plant. In this study, we generated a high-quality genome assembly comprising scaffolds representing the 17 chromosomes, with a total length of 650.

Dengue, a climate-sensitive mosquito-borne viral disease, is endemic in many tropical and subtropical areas, with Southeast Asia bearing the highest burden. In China, dengue epidemics are primarily influenced by imported cases from Southeast Asia. By integrating monthly maximum temperature and precipitation from Southeast Asia and local provinces in China, we aim to build models to predict dengue incidence in high-risk areas of China.
