Climate Change‐Driven Heatwaves Pose Lethal Risks to Newborn Forest Bats
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.This is the first recorded case of forest bat mortality in temperate regions caused by heatwaves. The study suggests that forest fragmentation exposes bats to lethal thermal peaks, highlighting a previously overlooked impact of climate change on these mammals and potential interactions with forest fragmentation.

A comprehensive overview on the crosstalk between microRNAs and viral pathogenesis and infection
Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 2, Page 349-425, March 2025.Abstract Infections caused by viruses as the smallest infectious agents, pose a major threat to global public health. Viral infections utilize different host mechanisms to facilitate their own propagation and pathogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as small noncoding RNA molecules, play important regulatory roles in different diseases, including viral ...
