American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In epidemiological studies, obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) is robustly associated with increased risk of cardiometabolic disorders, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. However, the mechanisms behind these associations are unclear. We conducted genetic correlation analyses to explore shared genetic etiology and

DNA metabarcoding reveals greater plant diversity than morphological seed analysis of bird feces
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Fruit‐eating birds drive seed dispersal in recovering tropical ecosystems, shaping forest regeneration. Molecular techniques, such as DNA metabarcoding, enable diet analysis from feces and can provide complementary frugivory data where dispersal is infrequent, as well as aid in seed identification in hyper‐diverse regions lacking ...

Residual eDNA in eRNA Extracts Skews eRNA-Based Biodiversity Assessment: Call for Optimised DNase Treatment. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Environmental RNA (eRNA) metabarcoding has rapidly emerged as a powerful tool for assessing contemporary biodiversity patterns across diverse ecosystems. However, the potential for false positive detections caused by co‐extracted environmental DNA (eDNA) remains unquantified.

BMEMat, EarlyView.This study develops a pH‐responsive, charge‐reversal liposome for treating bacterial biofilm infections. With enhanced penetration capability, the liposome effectively delivers antibacterial agents into biofilms. By integrating photodynamic and photothermal therapies with antibiotics, it significantly eradicates biofilms and accelerates bacteria ...

Long‐term trends in parasite diversity and infection levels: approaches and patterns
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Parasites exist in every ecosystem, affecting nearly all organisms and playing a complex role in human societies. On the one hand, they contribute substantially to biodiversity and support ecosystem stability by performing essential ecological functions.
