Reversal of Chronic Stress‐Induced Inflammaging by Bazi Bushen Formula Through AMPK‐Sirtuins Axis Activation and Myeloid Reset

ABSTRACT Chronic stress potentially accelerates aging and increases age‐related disease risk. However, the underlying mechanisms and organ specificity remain unclear. Utilizing a 12‐month unpredictable chronic mild stress (UCMS) mouse model, we revealed chronic stress significant...

Flood-Induced Shifts in Nitrogen Speciation Alter Nitrogen-Transforming Microbial Communities and Functional Potentials in a Shallow Lake Ecosystem

Nitrogen cycling in freshwater lakes is mediated by diverse microbial communities, yet how nitrogen-transforming communities respond to flood perturbations across multiple habitats remains poorly characterized. In this study, we investigated nitrogen forms and associated microbia...
