Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Mazus dabieshanensis sp. nov. (Mazaceae) from eastern China
Mazus dabieshanensis, a newly described species endemic to the Dabieshan Mountains in eastern China, is illustrated and described. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear and chloroplast DNA sequences consistently demonstrate that this new species forms a stable clade with other Mazus species characterized by a pubescent ovary. Morphologically,

Dynamic Polydisulfide Latex via Emulsion Ring‐Opening Polymerization of Cyclodisulfides
A polydisulfide latex with a high molar mass was achieved by emulsion polymerization process starting from a dithiol. The mechanism reveals an entropy‐driven ring‐opening polymerization involving disulfide macrocycle intermediates. The polydisulfide particles can be degraded by thiol‐disulfide exchange, and the disulfide fragments can be reengaged in a

Asian elephants play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning, and their interactions with plants influence above‐ and belowground carbon cycling. We tested whether their mechanically destructive foraging triggers short‐term, stress‐induced shifts in tree root exudation, an underappreciated pathway linking herbivory to belowground carbon processes.

Synthesis of Amorphous‐Crystalline Mixture Boron Nitride for Balanced Resistive Switching Operation
An amorphous–crystalline mixture BN (acm‐BN) is synthesized through low‐pressure chemical vapor deposition, achieving balanced resistive switching with low SET voltage and stable RESET. High‐resolution transmission electron microscopy reveals that BN films are fully amorphous at 930 °C, a mixed amorphous–crystalline phase is achieved at 990 °C.
