Age influences serum immune indices and gut microbiota composition in adult broilers
Abstract While the gut microbiota is recognized as a key modulator of host immunity, its age-related dynamics in adult-to-senescent broilers remain poorly characterized. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze age- and sex-related variations in serum immune indices and gut microbiota composition in yellow-feathered broilers aged 1 to 4 years (n = 40). Peripheral blood and fecal samples were gathered for immune profiling using ELISA (STP, IgA, IgG, IL-4, IFN-γ) and 16S rDNA sequencing.
INSIG1 parallel substitution drives lipid/sterol metabolic plasticity mediating desert adaptation in ungulates - Communications Biology
Abstract Desert ungulates, such as Camelus bactrianus and Hippotraginae antelopes, exhibit extraordinary adaptation to extreme environment. Deciphering these genetic adaptations is critical for understanding evolutionary resilience under climate change. Here, we generate a chromosome-level genome for domestic Bactrian camel and integrate comparative genomics analyses to uncover genomic adaptation in arid-desert ungulates.
High-Precision Endoscopic Shape Sensing Using Two Calibrated Outer Cores of MC-FBG Array
Submitted: 24 December 2025 You are already at the latest version We presented a high-precision endoscopic shape sensing method using only two calibrated outer cores of a multicore fiber Bragg grating (MC-FBG) array. By leveraging the geometric relationship between two non-collinear outer cores and the central core, the approach determines curvature and bending angle without multiple outer-core measurements, reducing computational complexity and error propagation.
The spatial correlation network and driving factors of economic resilience in the construction sector: evidence from China
The Chinese construction sector (CS) is the largest in the world in terms of total output value. Studying the economic resilience of the construction sector (ERCS) is thus of critical importance for the sustainable development of the CS globally. Regional differences in the CS economy have raised concerns about the spatial heterogeneity of the ERCS.

scRNA-seq uncovers the transcriptional dynamics of Encephalitozoon intestinalis parasites in human macrophages - Nature Communications
Abstract Microsporidia are single-celled intracellular parasites that cause opportunistic diseases in humans. Encephalitozoon intestinalis is a prevalent human-infecting species that invades the small intestine. Macrophages are potential reservoirs of infection, and dissemination to other organ systems is also observed. The macrophage response to infection and the developmental trajectory of the parasite are not well studied.

Study of Factors Influencing Thermal Comfort at Tram Stations in Guangzhou Based on Machine Learning
1. Introduction The thermal comfort of transportation stations is a critical concern in both academic research and practical applications. These stations comprise multiple temporary spaces, which are generally not fully enclosed, but rather serve as waiting areas for passengers or travelers. The intelligent design and effective management of the thermal environment in these spaces can enhance user comfort and improve energy efficiency.
Characterization of tumour heterogeneity through segmentation-free representation learning on multiplexed imaging data - Nature Biomedical Engineering
Abstract High-dimensional multiplexed imaging can reveal the spatial organization of tumour tissues at the molecular level. However, owing to the scale and information complexity of the imaging data, it is challenging to discover and thoroughly characterize the heterogeneity of tumour microenvironments.

Research on the Control and Modulation Scheme for a Novel Five-Switch Current Source Inverter
1. Introduction To reduce carbon emissions and environmental pollution, it is imperative to accelerate the extraction of non-fossil fuels, such as wind power and photovoltaic power generation [1,2]. The inverter is the core part of a grid-connected device, used to complete the conversion of electrical energy from DC to AC, and it includes a voltage source inverter (VSI) and current source inverter (CSI) [3].
Where Will Older Adults Reside: Understanding the Distribution of Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities in Australia
1. Introduction Global aging is a pronounced trend, driven by decreasing fertility rates and increasing life expectancies worldwide. By the annum 2022, the proportion of the global population aged 65 and over reached 10% of the global population aggregate [1]. According to the United Nations Population Fund’s “World Population Prospects 2019” report, by 2050, this demographic segment is projected to constitute 16% of the world’s population, which translates to roughly one-sixth [2].

Un gen ‘saltarín’ provocó que los humanos perdieran la cola
La cola ha sido una herramienta muy útil desde la aparición de los primeros animales, hace más de 500 millones de años. Los peces la han utilizado para propulsarse por el agua, los dinosaurios guardaban el equilibrio con ellas y los escorpiones las emplean como arma. Más cerca de nuestra especie, hace 25 millones de años, los primates ancestrales las utilizaban como una extremidad más, para agarrarse a las ramas de los árboles donde vivían, igual que hacen ahora los monos del nuevo mundo.
On the genetic basis of tail-loss evolution in humans and apes
Abstract The loss of the tail is among the most notable anatomical changes to have occurred along the evolutionary lineage leading to humans and to the ‘anthropomorphous apes’1,2,3, with a proposed role in contributing to human bipedalism4,5,6. Yet, the genetic mechanism that facilitated tail-loss evolution in hominoids remains unknown. Here we present evidence that an individual insertion of an Alu element in the genome of the hominoid ancestor may have contributed to tail-loss evolution.

Integrative Multi-omic Profiling of Two Human Decedents Receiving Pig Heart Xenografts Reveals Strong Perturbations in Early Immune-Cell and Cellular Metabolism Responses.
Abstract Background: Recent advances in xenotransplantation in living and decedent humans using pig xenografts have laid promising groundwork towards future emergency use and first in human trials. Major obstacles remain though, including a lack of knowledge of the genetic incompatibilities between pig donors and human recipients which may led to harmful immune responses against the xenograft or dysregulation of normal physiology.

Cancer cell states recur across tumor types and form specific interactions with the tumor microenvironment - Nature Genetics
Abstract Transcriptional heterogeneity among malignant cells of a tumor has been studied in individual cancer types and shown to be organized into cancer cell states; however, it remains unclear to what extent these states span tumor types, constituting general features of cancer.
Optineurin promotes myogenesis during muscle regeneration in mice by autophagic degradation of GSK3β
Loading metrics Open Access Peer-reviewed Research Article ? This is an uncorrected proof. Abstract Skeletal muscle regeneration is essential for maintaining muscle function in injury and muscular disease. Myogenesis plays key roles in forming new myofibers during the process. Here, through bioinformatic screen for the potential regulators of myogenesis from 5 independent microarray datasets, we identify an overlapping differentially expressed gene (DEG) optineurin (OPTN).
The genetic basis of tail-loss evolution in humans and apes
Abstract The loss of the tail is one of the main anatomical evolutionary changes to have occurred along the lineage leading to humans and to the “anthropomorphous apes”1,2. This morphological reprogramming in the ancestral hominoids has been long considered to have accommodated a characteristic style of locomotion and contributed to the evolution of bipedalism in humans3–5. Yet, the precise genetic mechanism that facilitated tail-loss evolution in hominoids remains unknown.
