ShenQi DiHuang Decoction (SQDHD) Ameliorates Neuroinflammation and Neuropsychiatric Manifestations in Pristane Induced Lupus Mice via Blocking JAK1‐STAT3 Pathway

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
SQDHD exerts neuroprotective effects and alleviates behavioral deficits in PIL mice, likely by inhibiting the JAK1‐STAT3 pathway in activated CVECs. These findings underscore the therapeutic potential of SQDHD and establish it as a promising candidate for the treatment of NPSLE.

Improved Longan Genome Assembly Reveals Insights Into Flowering Mechanisms

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1678-1696, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Longan is an exotic tropical fruit crop and exhibits off‐season flowering induced by potassium chlorate (KClO3), though the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We assembled a high‐quality, 441.5 Mb genome of variety ‘Shixia’, with a contig N50 at 28.1 Mb, 29, 325 protein‐coding genes, 26 telomeres and 15 centromeres.
