Elevational patterns of orchid diversity in mid-subtropical mountain forests of eastern China

Global Ecology and Conservation
Orchidaceae serves as a “flagship” group in global biodiversity conservation efforts, drawing substantial interest from researchers in China, but research on the variation of orchid species diversity along elevational gradients in mid-subtropical ...

Biodiversity is a cauliflower under the sunlight [PDF]

, 2012
For a long time ecologists have questioned the variations of biodiversity across the latitudinal gradient. Recently it has emerged that the changes in [beta]-diversity are caused simply by changes in the sizes of species pools.

Vascularized Liver‐on‐a‐Microsphere Reveals Alanine‐Glucose Metabolism‐Driven Regulation of Liver Function and Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A vascularized liver‐on‐a‐microsphere system is developed to recreate lobule‐like cellular organization and endothelial barrier function within compartmentalized hydrogel particles. The platform enhances hepatic performance and reveals alanine‐glucose cycle activation linked to improved detoxification capacity, offering a high‐throughput microscale ...

Probiotic‐Derived Vesicles Rectally Delivered via Thermo‐Gelling Copolymer Promote Mucosal Healing and Reduce Inflammation in Ulcerative Colitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A thermo‐responsive rectal delivery platform integrating probiotic‐derived extracellular vesicles within a hyaluronic acid‐based copolymer enables localized and sustained therapy for ulcerative colitis. The formulation effectively suppresses inflammation, promotes macrophage polarization toward a regenerative phenotype, restores epithelial barrier ...

Elevational diversity gradients of amphibians in Mexican mountain ranges: patterns, environmental factors, and spatial scale effects [PDF]

Mountains are estimated to harbor the highest diversity in many taxonomic groups. However, patterns of elevational distributions and their underlying explanatory environmental variables have not been well studied in amphibians.
