Study on Echinacoside-Copper Metal–Phenolic Networks Hydrogel System Loaded with Diallyl Trisulfide for Local Treatment of Cervical Cancer

Background/Objectives: Cervical cancer cells evade chemotherapy by upregulating antioxidant defenses (e.g., glutathione (GSH)). A platform that simultaneously amplifies ROS and suppresses antioxidant defense is a low toxicity strategy. This study presents a local nanoplatform tha...

Characteristics and Associated Factors of Rice-Terrace Landscape Degradation in the Qinba Transition Zone: Evidence from Five Villages in the Fengyan Ancient Terraces

Maintaining rice terraces as living agricultural heritage requires distinguishing interruptions of paddy production from changes in settlement fabric, yet evidence on associated factors remains limited in the Qinba transition zone. This study compared terrace abandonment, paddy-t...

Complete genome-derived metabolic interactions reveal the impact of gut ecology on human health

Abstract Metabolic interactions govern gut microbiome assembly, yet functional rules remain obscured by genomic incompleteness and fragmentation. Here, we leverage 1,150 complete genomes to construct genome-scale metabolic models, demonstrating that draft genomes introduce system...
