IntroductionCurrent SARS-CoV-2 strains continue to mutate and attempt to evade the antibody response elicited by previous exposures and vaccinations.In September of 2022, the first updated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, designed to create immune responses specific for the variants circulating in 2022, were approved.These new vaccines, known commonly as the b
Mangrove management in China is converting from emphasis on occupied area to intrinsical quality.Mangrove species have varied ecological values, e.g., those having well-developed prop roots are more beneficial for coastal stabilization.The detailed distribution of mangrove species on a national scale remains a challenge, impeding golden literider g
Artificial intelligence (AI) ethics has emerged as a global discourse within both academic and policy spheres.However, translating these principles into concrete, real-world applications for AI development remains a pressing need and a significant challenge.This study aims to bridge the gap between principles and practice from a regulatory governme
Most cells exchange ions and small metabolites via gap junction channels.These channels are made of two hemichannels (connexons), each formed by the radial arrangement of six connexin (Cx) proteins.Connexins span the bilayer four times (M1-M4) and have both amino- and carboxy-termini (NT, CT) at the cytoplasmic side of the membrane, forming two ext
IntroductionThe genetic structure of species is shaped by natural (e.g., terrain, climate) and non-natural (e.g., human activities) factors.Geographical isolation and natural barriers are important causes of genetic structure formation of species.Here, we explored this issue in bamboo grasshopper, Ceracris kiangsu, which is an important pest that f
