ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal strongly implicated in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) through mechanisms involving oxidative stress, epigenetic dysregulation, and chronic inflammation. This study aimed to identify Cd‐responsive genes associated with LUAD and to evaluate the protective effects of oxyresveratrol (O‐RES) against Cd‐induced ...

Gut microbiota dysbiosis and Long COVID susceptibility in chronic kidney disease
This study investigated gut microbiota dysbiosis and its association with Long COVID susceptibility in 224 hemodialysis patients. We found that 35.3% of patients developed Long COVID, characterized by neurological symptoms and elevated inflammatory markers, accompanied by significant gut microbiota alterations including enriched proinflammatory taxa ...

Progress in bone tissue engineering biomaterials: Development, challenges, and prospects
Scheme 1 Application of biomaterials in immunomodulation during bone tissue engineering. Abstract Bone defect repair remains a major clinical challenge in orthopedics. Over 2 million cases caused by trauma, tumors, and other factors occur annually, with large‐scale defects posing a particular bottleneck due to limited self‐healing capacity.

Comparative Genomics and Functional Evidence for Convergent Adaptation to Hypoxia in Mammals
This study reveals convergent selection in mammals adapted to hypoxia. Functional assays demonstrate that amino acid mutations reduce oxidative stress, attenuate hypoxia‐induced injury, and modulate the hypoxia‐inducible transcription factor (HIF)‐driven hypoxic response.
