Quasinormal modes and AdS/CFT correspondence of a rotating BTZ-like black hole in the Einstein-bumblebee gravity

Abstract We obtain exact expressions for the quasinormal modes (QNMs) of the massive scalar, fermionic and vector perturbations around a rotating BTZ-like black hole in the Einstein-bumblebee gravity. We find that the Lorentz symmetry breaking (LSB) parameter $$\ell $$ <mml:math...

Deoxynivalenol-induced intestinal toxicity in piglets is mediated by multi-kingdom microbial dysbiosis and metatranscriptomic reprogramming

Mycotoxin contamination of feed and food, particularly with deoxynivalenol (DON), poses significant threats to intestinal health in livestock, yet the role of gut fungi (mycobiota) and fungal-bacterial interactions remains unclear. Across four piglet experiments integrating multi...

Iron‐Sulfur Cluster Targeting: A Novel Perspective for Treating Alcohol‐Related Lipid Metabolic Diseases

ABSTRACT Iron–sulfur (Fe–S) clusters are pivotal molecular cofactors bridging inorganic chemistry and organic life processes, with their tightly regulated biosynthesis and function underpinning cellular metabolic homeostasis. Chronic alcohol‐induced metabolic stress impairs Fe–S...

Egyptian cotton: harnessing genetic diversity, molecular tools, fiber anatomy, and innovation for a climate-smart future

Abstract Egyptian cotton, derived primarily from Gossypium barbadense L., has shaped the country’s agricultural economy and international reputation for nearly two centuries. Among these, the Giza varieties—renowned for their exceptional fiber length, fineness, and strength—have...

CircRNA Profiling Identifies Candidates Associated with Abdominal Fat Deposition in Ducks

Excessive abdominal fat deposition reduces the meat yield and feed conversion efficiency of meat ducks. To identify circRNAs associated with this trait, this study performed circRNA sequencing on abdominal fat tissue from fat-type (HF) and lean-type (LF) Peking ducks. Among the 1...

Responsive Membrane Antenna Enables Adaptive Biohybrid Interface for Photosynthesis Promotion, Stress Reporting and Modulation

ABSTRACT Biohybrids promise to endow photosynthetic organisms with new or enhanced functions, yet most operate monofunctionally, targeting either photosynthesis enhancement or stress tolerance, and cannot report environmental changes. Here, we develop an environmentally responsiv...

Distinct Profiles of Heart-Focused Anxiety and Their Association with Kinesiophobia Among Patients with Coronary Heart Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study

Carbon-rich carbon nitride for singlet-oxygen-driven photocatalytic degradation of benzophenone-3 and coral vitality recovery

Coral reefs, vital marine ecosystems, are increasingly threatened by global warming and chemical pollutants such as benzophenone-3 (BP-3), a widely used UV filter. To address this challenge, we present a carbon-doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) photocatalyst with efficient...

Comparison of Inoculation Routes for Honeybee Gut Microbiota Assembly Under Laboratory Conditions

The honeybee (Apis mellifera) gut microbiota serves as a model for host–microbe studies, as newly emerged workers provide a low-complexity, nearly germ-free system. Although multiple inoculation strategies are commonly applied under laboratory conditions, their comparative effect...

Exploring the attributes of organizational health literacy in Chinese healthcare institutions from the perspective of the social-ecological theoretical model: a grounded theory study

Organizational health literacy (OHL) is essential for reducing adverse outcomes associated with limited health literacy, including medication errors, increased hospitalization, and widening health disparities. Although the complexity of the healthcare system represents a major ba...

Electro-mechanical response of TSV-RDL interconnects under electron irradiation

Purpose Through-silicon-via (TSV) and redistribution-layer (RDL) interconnects are essential for high-density three-dimensional (3D)/2.5D integration in aerospace microsystems. However, their reliability under energetic electron irradiation remains insufficiently understood, part...

Risk factors and molecular epidemiology of ST2-type carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii carrying blaOXA−23−like and blaOXA−51−like genes

The emergence and spread of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB, A. baumannii ) has raised significant concerns and challenges globally. This study analyzes the risk factors, distribution of antibiotic resistance genes, and virulence genes associated with CRAB infe...

Reconciling nitrogen fertilization effects on soil nitrification with acidification

Nitrogen (N) fertilization supports nearly half of the global population but disrupts the N cycle. While N addition is assumed to stimulate soil nitrification by increasing substrate supply and nitrifier activity, it may also inhibit nitrification via soil acidification. Resolvin...

Akkermansia muciniphila attenuates Brucella infection: TLR4−associated inflammatory regulation and gut microbiota remodeling

Akkermansia muciniphila ( A. muciniphila ) is a promising next-generation probiotic with well-established beneficial effects on metabolic disorders, inflammatory diseases, and host immunity. However, whether A. muciniphila protects against Brucella infection remains unknown. Here...
