Mosquito repellency mediated by skin commensal Bacillus species via volatile metabolite reprogramming
Abstract Individual variation in human attractiveness to mosquitoes critically influences vector-borne disease transmission, and this phenomenon arises from multiple underlying factors. This study integrated human skin microbiome profiling, non-human primate in situ intervention, and volatilomics to uncover a microbial-mediated mechanism underlying host-specific mosquito repellency. Bacillus species were identified as a microbial signature associated with reduced mosquito attraction in humans.
Versatile Amino Acid Synthesis from Ambient Air and α‑Keto Acids via Tandem Plasma‑Electrocatalysis
1 Introduction As the fundamental building blocks of proteins, amino acids serve a pivotal role in health and metabolism, with widespread applications across the biological, pharmaceutical, and food industries [1-5]. Taking alanine as an example, its global market was valued at US$262.97 million in 2025 and is forecasted to reach US$396.94 million by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 6.02% [6].

Biaxially ductile supramolecular polymer networks
Abstract Supramolecular polymer networks are transiently cross-linked soft materials that have exceptional material properties such as high toughness, contractility, and recyclability. Previous studies have focused on optimizing their uniaxial mechanical features but did not manage to impart them with biaxial ductility. Here, we develop a set of biaxially ductile supramolecular polymer networks constructed by slow-dissociative, noncovalent cross-linkers.

Developmental Neurotoxicity of Difenoconazole in Zebrafish Embryos
Abstract : Difenoconazole is a type of triazole fungicide that is widely used in the treatment of plant diseases. Triazole fungicides have been shown in several studies to impair the development of the nervous system in zebrafish embryos. There is still little known about difenoconazole-induced neurotoxicity in fish. In this study, zebrafish embryos were exposed to 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mg/L of difenoconazole solution until 120 h post-fertilization (hpf).
Viscosupplementation for knee osteoarthritis: systematic review and meta-analysis
Principal findings This systematic review identified 169 trials on 21 163 randomised patients with knee osteoarthritis. The main analysis of the primary outcome was based on 24 large, placebo controlled trials that included 8997 randomised patients with knee osteoarthritis. We found that viscosupplementation was significantly associated with a small reduction in pain intensity compared with placebo, but the difference was less than the minimal clinically important between group difference.
