Pseudobulb Yield and Chemical Quality of Field-Grown Bletilla formosana in Guangfu, Hualien, Across Cultivation Years and Harvest Seasons

Bletilla formosana is an important medicinal orchid in Taiwan, but information on how cultivation year, harvest season, and pseudobulb size are associated with yield and chemical quality under field conditions remains limited. This study evaluated field-grown B. formosana in Guan...

Long-Term Air Pollutant Exposure and the Risk of Cardiovascular- and Cancer-Related Mortality: A Prospective Cohort Study in Taiwan

Air pollution exposure can cause vascular dysfunction and induce mutagenesis; however, its effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD)– and cancer-related mortality remain unclear. This prospective cohort study examined the impact of long-term exposure to multiple air pollutants on t...

Paired functional screening reveals GMI‑modulated drug response behavior in heterogeneous tumor models

Tumor drug sensitivity is often evaluated under static experimental conditions despite the dynamic biological environments that influence therapeutic response. Here, we established a paired ex vivo functional screening framework to evaluate modulation-dependent drug-response beha...
