Drosophila park mutants serve as a model for Parkinson's disease. We used this strain to investigate the connection between oxidative stress and the circadian clock mechanism. We showed that increased oxidative stress affects the physiology of pacemaker cells, disrupting their daily structural plasticity. Lack of rhythmic signaling from pacemaker cells

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Overview of the use of clean cookstoves in the Brazilian semiarid region
Wood cookstoves are common in the Brazilian semiarid region. Most families use traditional versions, which have a series of social, environmental and health-related impacts. “Improved cookstoves” refer to cleaner and more efficient cookstoves.

α‐Synuclein aggregation landscape from phase separation to neurotoxic intermediates
Alpha‐synuclein aggregation in Parkinson's disease involves a complex landscape of transient intermediates, including oligomers, fibrils and liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS). A view is emerging in which LLPS maturation into solid‐like condensates may contribute to the formation of neurotoxic species.

Economic Analysis of the Lagging-behind Development of the County-region Economy in the Underdeveloped Region [PDF]
内容提要在回顾了相关理论之后,从第二章起,本文对我国东西部县域经济进行了比较分析:我国东部地区经济发达的县域较多,而西部地区较少,我国的贫困县大多分布在西部地区。西部地区的县域经济发展存在以下一些问题:一是县域经济实力弱,二是产业结构偏重于第一产业,第二三产业不发达,第三是西部地区县域经济存在明显的二元经济特征。四是西部地区在县域经济的管理方面受原来计划经济的影响较严重,五是人才和科技发展不足。第三章分析了区位因素对我国西部地区县域经济的影响。西部地区山地多平地少,生态脆弱,这限制了西部地区农业的发展 ...

Study on edge villages based on cross-region healthcare-seeking behavior
Background This study addresses spatial disparities in rural healthcare by introducing the concept of edge village —communities where a misalignment between administrative boundaries and functional hospital service areas (HSAs) leads to prevalent cross ...
