Trait‐Based Prediction of Extinction Risk and Conservation Strategy for Traditional Chinese Medicinal Plants in China 基于性状的中药植物灭绝风险预测与保护策略研究

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Our research allows us to understand the predictors of extinction risk in traditional Chinese medicinal (TCM) plant species with known threat status, and incorporate this knowledge to predict other TCM plants with unknown conservation status in China so as to improve the overall effectiveness of conservation strategies.

Achieving superior therapeutic effects on methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection via simple sulfonation process for preparing zwitterionic photosensitizer

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
The sulfonated zwitterionic photosensitizer (PYSO3) is synthesized by reacting maleic anhydride derivatives with 4‐aminopyridine to form PY, followed by sulfonation with 1,4‐butane sultone. It exhibits both photothermal and photodynamic properties, enabling effective eradication of MRSA and biofilms, as well as promoting wound healing in mice ...
