With the rapid emergence of pufferfish aquaculture and processing industries, fish skin is underutilized as a byproduct of processing, leading to resource waste. In this study, skin collagen (TBSC) was extracted by acetic acid solubilization and its physicochemical properties were analyzed. The effects of TBSC and the TBSC hydrolysate (TBSCH) on ultraviolet (UV) irradiation-induced photoaging were investigated using a mouse model.

Article Synopsis
- Mangrove reforestation using introduced species is essential for restoring ecosystem functions, but its impact on microbial processes like methane, nitrogen, and sulfur cycling isn't fully understood.
- A study analyzed the microbiomes of native and introduced mangrove species, showing that introduced species have a larger average genome size and functional diversity but lower capabilities for processes related to methane and nitrogen cycling.
- Environmental factors like salinity and ammonium significantly influence the functional profiles of these microbiomes, highlighting the evolutionary and environmental factors affecting ecosystem functions, which is crucial for future mangrove reforestation efforts.

Melittin, the principal constituent in bee venom, is an attractive candidate for cancer therapy. However, its clinical applications are limited by hemolysis, nonspecific cytotoxicity, and rapid metabolism. Herein, a novel genetically engineered vesicular antibody-melittin (VAM) drug delivery platform was proposed and validated for targeted cancer combination therapy.

Tropical cyclones are among the major climatic disasters threatening human survival and development. They are also responsible in part for forest taxonomic composition and dynamics and may lead to catastrophic succession between ecosystems. In this study, we aimed to investigate the extensiveness and severity of the effect caused by Typhoon Hato among the three primary plant communities in Macau, China, including Guia Hill, Taipa Grande, and Ka Ho.

Objectives: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is well known for its strong invasiveness, rapid recurrence and poor prognosis. Immunotherapy, including chimeric antigen receptor-modified T (CAR-T) cells, has emerged as a promising tool to treat TNBC. The identification of a specific target tumor antigen and the design of an effective CAR are among the many challenges of CAR-T therapy.
