ISAba1‐mediated crp‐osmC amplification enhances host‐associated fitness in Acinetobacter baumannii

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Acinetobacter baumannii is a pathogen, highly adaptable to both hospital‐ and host‐associated environments. Understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying its adaptability is critical for controlling its persistence. Our study identified the crp‐osmC gene cluster, flanked by ISAba1 elements, as a significant genetic structure undergoing ...

Chronic high‐altitude exposure and intracerebral hemorrhage: A novel perspective from the vascular‐immune‐neuronal network

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Long‐term chronic high‐altitude hypobaric hypoxia increases susceptibility to ICH, particularly among migrant populations lacking EPAS1/SENP1 adaptive genetic variants relative to high‐altitude indigenous residents. Persistent hypoxia initiates blood–brain barrier (BBB) breakdown, aberrant glial and immune activation, and progressive neuronal injury ...

Practical Methodology for Developing Visions for Carbon‐Neutral Cities and Communities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cities and communities play important roles in sustainable development and climate change mitigation. This study presents a novel framework for developing carbon‐neutral visions for cities and communities. We established five “principles,” investigated options encompassing four parameters (management, goal setting, actions, and quantification),
