Feathered fortunes: Bird diversity soars in China's Yangtze River Basin
Nanjing Institute of Environmental Sciences, MEEPeer-Reviewed Publication
A pivotal study reveals a significant rise in bird diversity across China’s Yangtze River Basin (YRB) over the past decade, driven by large-scale ecological restoration efforts. While the overall diversity of avian species has increased, challenges persist in downstream regions, where wetland degradation has led to a decline in bird populations. These findings highlight the success of restoration programs but also emphasize the urgent need for more targeted conservation strategies, particularly in vulnerable wetland areas.

Profiling immune cell-related gene features and immunoregulatory ceRNA in ischemic stroke
Sichuan International Medical Exchange and Promotion AssociationPeer-Reviewed Publication
In a paper published in Molecular Biomedicine, scientists uncover the distinct immune landscape between ischemic stroke (IS) and health human being. Meanwhile, the scientists also construct a ceRNA network based on the differentially expressed mRNAs, miRNAs, and lncRNAs. This distinct immune feature, particularly ceRNA network, may help elucidate function of immune cell-related genes in IS and this feature may have a potential to serve as a therapeutic target.
