Motivation: The BioArchLinux project was initiated to address challenges in bioinformatics software reproducibility and freshness. Relying on Arch Linux's user-driven ecosystem, we aim to create a comprehensive and continuously updated repository for life sciences research.

Results: BioArchLinux provides a PKGBUILD-based system for seamless software packaging and maintenance, enabling users to access the latest bioinformatics tools across multiple programming languages. The repository includes Docker images, Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) support, and Junest for non-root environments, enhancing accessibility across platforms. Although being developed and maintained by a small core team, BioArchLinux is a fast-growing bioinformatics repository that offers a participatory and community-driven environment.

Availability: The repository, documentation, and tools are freely available at https://bioarchlinux.org and https://github.com/BioArchLinux. Users and developers are encouraged to contribute and expand this open-source initiative.

In diabetic wounds, the presence of hyperglycemia is often accompanied by a persistent inflammatory response, oxidative stress damage, impaired angiogenesis and bacterial infections around the wound, resulting in impaired proliferation of dermal and epidermal cells and impaired skin regeneration in diabetic wounds. To solve the above problems, this study designed a near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive multifunctional poloxamer hydrogel (EGF/PDA-MXene Gel). The Gel is composed of two-dimensional nanomaterials (2D NMs) MXene as the core, modified by polymer, further loaded with epidermal growth factor (EGF), and has antibacterial, antioxidant, photothermal properties.

A crucial challenge in neuroscience involves characterising brain dynamics from high-dimensional brain recordings. Dynamic Functional Connectivity (dFC) is an analysis paradigm that aims to address this challenge. dFC consists of a time-varying matrix (dFC matrix) expressing how pairwise interactions across brain areas change over time.

Plant specialized metabolites play key roles in diverse physiological processes and ecological interactions. Identifying structurally novel metabolites, as well as discovering known compounds in new species, is often crucial for answering broader biological questions. The Piper genus (Piperaceae family) is known for its special phytochemistry and has been extensively studied over the past decades.

are a unique branch of life, recognisable by sporophores showing a fungus-like dispersal biology. These structures bear nearly all diagnostic characters for species identification and develop by rapid transformation of plasmodia. During this short period of time, external factors can significantly influence the formation of morphological characters.
