Mechanistic insights into the immunomodulatory and antibacterial activity of the Japanese Kampo Formula Hainosankyuto

Purpose This study aimed to quantify the in vitro antibacterial activity of the Japanese herbal formula Hainosankyuto (HNST) against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and to elucidate its immunomodulatory effects on human monocytes. Methods The antibacterial activity of HN...

Miocene Evolutionary History Shaped the Phylogeography of Willow Species (Salix L.) in the European Alps

In the European Alps, plant species have persisted through major geological and climatic changes, leaving distinct genetic signatures of divergence. While these patterns are often attributed to Pleistocene glacial refugia, they may also reflect older, pre-Quaternary events. In mo...

Highly localized droplet clustering in shallow cumulus clouds

The size and spatial clustering of water droplets in warm clouds influence cloud evolution and radiation properties and thus are of fundamental importance for the Earth’s energy balance and water cycle. Some proposed mechanisms for droplet growth and precipitation initiation in w...

Polymer Substrates for Flexible Sensors: Advances and Contributions to Smart Agriculture

ABSTRACT The advancement of smart agriculture is becoming increasingly dependent on sensor technologies that enable the digitization and optimization of agricultural processes. Traditional sensors, however, are constrained by their inherent rigidity, poor conformability to irregu...

Beyond the Private Sphere: Women's Community Participation and Household Diet Quality in Rural China

ABSTRACT Improving diet quality remains a key challenge in post‐poverty rural China. This study examines how women's community participation, a form of public‐sphere agency, relates to household diet quality. We introduce a Food‐Weighted Dietary Diversity Index (FWDDI) that captu...
