In a groundbreaking study led by Dr. Ying Chen and her team from Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, researchers have uncovered a novel mechanism behind endothelial dysfunction in sepsis-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This study, which has significant implications for the treatment of sepsis and its complications, demonstrates how glycolysis-induced histone lactylation drives endothelial cell (EC) activation and promotes lung injury in sepsis.

Female sexual dysfunction (FSD), a condition affecting women's sexual arousal, desire, orgasm, or pain, has been identified as a hidden epidemic in China with a higher incidence in rural areas compared to urban ones. A four-year prospective cohort study provides a detailed analysis of FSD's incidence and associated risk factors, shedding light on the need for targeted public health strategies. The research involved a nationally representative sample of women from six provinces in China, capturing a diverse range of geographic and socioeconomic regions. The study utilized the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), a widely recognized tool for evaluating sexual dysfunction, to assess participants at baseline and during the follow-up period.

Researchers uncover how the SiPRR37 gene regulates the flowering process of millet crops across regional climates, paving way for higher yields

Recently, Science Bulletin published the research findings of Professors Shi Weiqun and Mei Lei from the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The study presents a viable approach for engineering acyl-type metal nodes to create oxygen-rich interior sites within MOCs, enabling the specific recognition of metal ions, including radioactive contaminants, while preserving the structural integrity of the MOCs.
