A blind fish of (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) was caught in open water in the Three Gorges (Sanxia) reservoir, at a depth of 20 m in the mainstream of Yangtze River in Zigui County, Hubei Province, China. This fish can be easily distinguished from all other congeners by external morphological characteristics, and is estimated to have diverged from its sister group about 0.55 million years ago (Ma). The geologically well separated locality of this species has expanded the distribution of cavefish from around N25°(latitude) to above N30°. Herein, we describe this new species as ., and discuss the possible reasons why the species appears, surprisingly, in the Three Gorges reservoir.

Several plant seeds release a mucilaginous envelope through hydration, rich in pectins and stabilized by cellulose fibers. This mucilage aids in seed protection, development, and adhesion for dispersal. This study aimed to separate the effects of pectins and cellulose fibers by using pectinase to remove mucilage pectins, leaving cellulose arrays, and performing wet and dry pull-off force measurements on seeds of three plant species: Salvia hispanica (Chia), Collomia grandiflora (Collomia) and Linum usitatissimum (Flax).

With the rapid decline in the levelized cost, offshore wind power offers a new option for the clean energy transition of the power sector in China's coastal areas. Here, we develop a power system capacity expansion and operation optimization model to simulate the penetration of offshore wind power in China and quantify the associated health effects. We find that offshore wind power has great potential in mitigating the negative impacts of existing coal-fired power emissions.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Glycolysis serves a crucial role in the development of CRC. The aim of the present study was to investigate the function of lectin galactoside-binding soluble 4 () in the regulation of glycolysis and its therapeutic potential in CRC.

Plague, a zoonotic disease caused by Yersinia pestis, remains a major public health threat in several parts of the world, including Madagascar. Factors underlying long-term persistence and emergence of the pathogen remain poorly understood. We implemented a longitudinal survey to provide insights into plague reservoir ecology within an endemic focus.
