Objective: To investigate the altered characteristics of cortical morphology and individual-based morphological brain networks in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), as well as the neural network mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment in T2DM.
Methods: A total of 150 T2DM patients and 130 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited in this study. The study used voxel- and surface-based morphometric analyses to investigate morphological alterations (including gray matter volume, cortical thickness, cortical surface area, and localized gyrus index) in the brains of T2DM patients.
Aim And Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of silymarin in improving liver function and reducing liver stiffness in chronic liver disease (CLD) patients. Silymarin, a hepatoprotective agent, has shown potential benefits in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver fibrosis, but evidence in CLD with varied etiologies remains limited. This study addresses the gap by assessing its impact across diverse etiological subgroups.

Bud blight caused by is a serious disease affecting tea plants and causing severe damage to production output and quality. Phages play an important role in controlling the development of bacterial diseases in plants. Previous studies have shown that the tolerance of phage-treated tea plants to bud blight was notably greater compared with that of the control group.

Broad beans, a seasonal leguminous vegetable renowned for their distinctive flavor and high-quality plant protein, present unique opportunities for culinary and nutritional applications. To better understand the impact of various blanching processes on their characteristics, we employed headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility mass spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) and biochemical tests to evaluate changes in color, volatile compound content, and levels of antioxidant-related substances following different blanching treatments. Our findings revealed that microwave blanching significantly influenced the a* metric and antioxidant capacity of broad beans.

Sustainable seaweed value chains necessitate accurate biomass biochemical characterisation that leads to product development, geographical authentications and quality and sustainability assurances. Underutilised yet abundantly available seaweed species require a thorough investigation of biochemical characteristics prior to their valorisation. Abundantly available Australian seaweed species lack such comprehensive investigations within the global seaweed industrial value chains.
