Lactiplantibacillus plantarum AS21 Attenuates Sex‐Biased Glucose Intolerance in Aging Mice via Gut Mucosal Microbiota‐Derived Citrulline

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 8, August 2026.
Aging induces sex‐differential glucose intolerance, with male‐specific citrulline depletion. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum AS21 elevates microbiota‐derived citrulline metabolism and enhances GLP‐1 secretion, improving glucose homeostasis. ABSTRACT Aging‐related metabolic decline, particularly impaired glucose tolerance, represents a growing challenge ...

Effects of the FHL2 gene on the development of subcutaneous and intramuscular adipocytes in goats

BMC Genomics
Background Adipose tissue affects not only the meat quality of domestic animals, but also human health. Adipocyte differentiation is regulated by a series of regulatory genes and cyclins. Four and half-LIM protein (FHL2) is positively correlated with the

Challenges in Conservation Effectiveness on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau: An Integrated Assessment Framework for Endemic Plant Species and Spatial Prioritisation

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the effectiveness of protected areas (PAs) in conserving endemic seed plant diversity on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) under climate change, and to identify current and future conservation gaps through Zonation‐based spatial prioritisation. Location Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, China.

Highlands, Islands and the Evolutionary Impact of Founder Event Dispersal in Sinomicrurus Coralsnakes

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Island archipelagos and montane regions of East and Southeast Asia represent some of the world's most biodiverse yet poorly understood biogeographic systems. Whether regional diversity accumulates primarily through in situ speciation, dispersal‐mediated range shifts, or some combination of these processes remains unclear.

Analysis of the Charge Structure and Lightning Activity During a Severe Beijing Thunderstorm via an Innovative Balloon‐Borne 3D Electric Field Observation System

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract We developed an innovative balloon‐borne observation system based on China's BeiDou sounding platform that integrates a three‐axis electric field sensor for in‐cloud measurements of thunderstorm electrification. On 13 May 2025, this system was deployed during a severe convective storm over Beijing. In combination with multisource observations,

Spatially Heterogeneous Impacts of Urbanization in Reshaping the Dry and Hot Extremes Across Chinese Cities

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Escalating climatic hazards have posed considerable challenges to urban resilience and sustainable development. By integrating national‐scale meteorological data, this research elucidates how urbanization reshapes the dry and hot extremes across China at various temporal scales and within a regional framework.
