Identification active compounds from Dregea volubilis that improve insulin secretion by regulating pancreatic β ‐cell metabolism

Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D) occurs due to a lack of insulin secretion by glucose stimulation, so high blood glucose levels predominate that associated with metabolic dysregulation. The exploration of bioactive compounds from natural sources has attracted considerable attention...

One-step method for preparation of Fe3O4/g-C3N4 composite using hydrazine for heterogeneous photocatalysis

Environmental pollution and the global energy demand have significantly increased, necessitating sustainable development strategies, with advanced functional materials emerging as key solutions. Specifically, photocatalysis technology has attracted considerable attention due to i...

Beyond Morphological Conservatism: Integrative Taxonomy Unveils Remarkable Cryptic Diversity in the Tachysurus virgatus (Oshima 1926) Group (Siluriformes: Bagridae) Endemic to the Northern Margin of East Asian Tropics

The northern margin of the East Asian tropics harbors exceptional endemism, yet its freshwater fish fauna remains poorly characterized. Tachysurus virgatus, long considered a single widespread species in this region, exemplifies this taxonomic gap. Through integrative taxonomic a...
