Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 14, April 10, 2025.In this study, the improvement effect of AMP on obesity can be attributed to the conversion of extracellular AMP to ADO through ADORA2A activation by CD73, which can promote lipolysis by reducing DNA methylation level and enhancing HSL gene transcription. These findings show the great potential of AMP in improving obesity.

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2025.ABSTRACT Electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation and measurement is an essential aspect of patient safety and pharmacovigilance in clinical trials. Changes in the T wave segment of an ECG can provide both diagnostic and prognostic information and may be affected by a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic factors related to drug administration.

Mate assessment based on physical characteristics: a review and reflection
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 1, Page 113-130, February 2025.ABSTRACT Mate choice, and sex differences in romantic behaviours, represented one of the first major applications of evolutionary biology to human behaviour. This paper reviews Darwinian approaches to heterosexual mate assessment based on physical characteristics, placing the literature in its historical context (1871–1979), before turning ...
