Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?
Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

Genomic architecture and breeding trade‐offs of coconut drought tolerance
The coconut palm is an extremely popular and economically important crop, with around 65 million tonnes produced in 2023. Although Africa's coconut sector is growing rapidly, it—and the livelihoods that depend on it—is threatened by climate change, particularly increased drought.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis in the inflammatory pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy
This graphical abstract illustrates how gut dysbiosis drives diabetic retinopathy through the gut‐retina axis, a process unfolding in three interconnected stages. First, in the gut, a decrease in beneficial bacteria and an increase in pro‐inflammatory taxa compromise the intestinal barrier, causing a “leaky gut” that allows LPS to translocate into the ...

ABSTRACT Background Certain blood components, including blood lipids, coagulation parameters, and homocysteine, have been suggested to correlate with the incidence and prognosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). However, the nature of these associations remains controversial.
