SustainabilityThe ongoing biodiversity crisis, driven by human activity, climate change, and disease spread, is reflected by the rapid decline of animal populations across all phylogenetic groups. Bats exemplify a group highly susceptible to these threats. While threats to bats are often studied locally, global interactions remain overlooked.

Engineering Pt Single-Atom Doped SeS2/Ti3CNTx MXene with Molecularly Imprinted Polymer for Precision Pancreatic Cancer Diagnostics: DFT and Molecular Dynamics Perspectives. [PDF]
Small MethodsA novel approach is developed to pancreatic cancer screening by targeting the cyclophili‐B (CypB)protein using a molecularly imprinted polymer with the electrode material containing Pt single‐atom‐doped/SeS2‐Ti3CNTx MXene. The quantification of CypB in pancreatic cancer tissues provide an insight into the association of CypB with pancreatic cancer ...

Earth's Future, Volume 11, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 Abstract As the Earth's Third Pole and the Asian water tower, the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) plays a key role in global climate regulation and biodiversity maintenance. Living in harmony with nature is vital for local and global sustainable development. Current research on the conflicted or coordinated relationship between humans and nature on the QTP
