Article Abstract

Earthquakes injure millions and simultaneously disrupt the infrastructure to protect them. This perspective argues that the current post-disaster investigation paradigm is insufficient to protect communities' health effectively. We propose the Earthquake Survival Chain as a framework to change the current engineering focus on infrastructure to health. This framework highlights four converging research opportunities to advance understanding of earthquake injuries, search and rescue, patient mobilizations, and medical treatment. We offer an interdisciplinary research agenda in engineering and health sciences, including artificial intelligence and virtual reality, to protect health and life from earthquakes.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) establishes persistent infection, causes infectious mononucleosis, is a major trigger for multiple sclerosis and contributes to multiple cancers. Yet, knowledge remains incomplete about how the virus remodels host B cells to support lytic replication. We previously identified that EBV lytic replication results in selective depletion of plasma membrane (PM) B cell receptor (BCR) complexes, composed of immunoglobulin and the CD79A and CD79B signaling chains.

The extinction of species is a major threat to the biodiversity. Allee effects are strongly linked to population extinction vulnerability. Emerging ecological evidence from numerous ecosystems reveals that the Allee effect, which is brought on by two or more processes, can work on a single species concurrently.

and are two phylogenetically related bacterial pathogens that exhibit extreme intrinsic resistance when they enter into a dormancy-like state. This enables both pathogens to survive extended periods in growth-limited environments. Survival is dependent upon their ability to undergo developmental transitions into two phenotypically distinct variants, one specialized for intracellular replication and another for prolonged survival in the environment and host.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common serious complication of sepsis that is characterized by the rapid deterioration of kidney function. Neng-Jing-Huo (NJH) is an essential oil blend, including Gaultheria procumbens, Zingiber officinale, Bulnesia sarmientoi, Artemisia vulgaris, and Styrax benzoin oils, with antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. Here, we investigated the effects of NJH on oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis in an in vitro septic AKI model and explored the underlying mechanisms.
