Species‐Level Characterization of Bacterial Persistence and Pathogen‐Associated Taxa in Humid Subtropical Residential Split‐Type Air Conditioners Based on Dual Sampling Strategies and Full‐Length 16S rRNA Sequencing

Indoor Air, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Residential split‐type air conditioners may harbor persistent microbial communities that are relevant to indoor hygiene, especially in cities with humid subtropical climatic backgrounds. However, species‐resolved characterization remains limited because many previous studies relied on single sampling approaches and short‐read taxonomic resolution.

Parkinson’s Disease: Immunometabolic Control Points Across Neural, Vascular, and Peripheral Systems

Parkinson's Disease, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder most associated with degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Increasing clinical and experimental evidence, however, indicates that PD is a multisystem disease in which immune, metabolic, vascular, and peripheral nervous system dysfunction precede ...
