The Effect of Climate Change on Emergence and Evolution of Zoonotic Diseases in Asia

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 7, Page 587-611, November 2025.
ABSTRACT As the climate of Asia changes under the influence of global warming, the incidence and spatial distribution of known zoonoses will evolve, and new zoonoses are expected to emerge as a result of greater exposure to organisms which currently occur only in wildlife.

Commensal Viruses Promote Intestinal Stem Cell Regeneration Following Radiation Damage by Inhibiting Hyperactivation of RIG‐I and Notch Signals

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
Ionizing radiation disrupts gut virome and bacteriome. Gut commensal viruses protect against intestinal damage and promote stem cell regeneration by inhibiting hyperactivation of RIG‐I and Notch signaling in stem cells. Fecal virome transplantation (FVT) from healthy donors can serve as a potential therapeutic intervention by enriching phages targeting

Half‐Pipe Melt Electrowritten Scaffolds Support Engineering of an Immunocompetent Hydrogel‐Embedded Intestine‐on‐a‐Chip

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
The immunocompetent Intestine‐on‐a‐Chip (IoC) is developed using melt electrowritten (MEW) half‐pipes. Intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) culture is optimized in the MEW‐based IoC, followed by co‐culture with monocyte‐derived dendritic cells (moDCs) and T cells in 3D hydrogels.
