T.Shuai, Lei Cai & Z.K.Wu, a new species of Primulaceae from Sichuan, China, is described and illustrated. Morphological evidence supports as a member of P.sect.Cortusoides, which is characterised by lack of farina, generally well furnished with multicellular hairs, subrounded leaf blades are more or less lobed, with distinct petiole and a deeply cordate base and campanulate or narrowly campanulate calyx not accrescent after anthesis. The new species is characterised by having umbel in whorls of 1-2, scape usually lower than leaf clusters, bracts broadly ovate and rose to pink petals distinctly veined. The distribution, morphological comparison with closely-related species and conservation status of the new species are also provided.

The ongoing discovery of highly reactive ambiphilic main-group species has significantly advanced the development of main-group chemistry, particularly in the realms of small molecule activation and catalysis. Theoretically, compounds featuring smaller HOMO-LUMO gaps gain stronger ambiphilicity and higher reactivity. In this work, we fundamentally demonstrate that MeSb holds the smallest HOMO-LUMO gap among trimethylpnictines, indicating its outstanding ambiphilicity.

Background: Observational studies have shown that ocular manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are common extraintinal manifestations, among which iridocyclitis, scleritis and episcleritis are the most common. However, whether there is a causal relationship between the two is unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the causality of IBD on ocular manifestations using the mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

Diabetic wounds have a profound effect on both the physical and psychological health of patients, highlighting the urgent necessity for novel treatment strategies and materials. Macrophages are vital contributors to tissue repair mechanisms. Macrophage conditioned medium contains various proteins and cytokines related to wound healing, indicating its potential to improve recovery from diabetic wound.

Thermochromic (TC) windows with passively controlled sunlight regulation have demonstrated significant building energy conservations. Realizing the active control of the TC window can expand its popularity while remaining an intractable challenge. Herein, a low-power-dissipative strategy that endows TC windows with an actively tunable transmittance is presented through the electro-induced tunable photothermal conversions (ETPCs).

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by complex immune interactions. Elucidating the causal relationships between blood cell perturbations, immune cell subsets, and RA can provide valuable insights into its pathogenesis.
Methods: This study employed bidirectional two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) to explore the causal effects of blood cell perturbations on RA risk, with a focus on immune cell mediation.
