Background/Objectives: Integrating transcriptomic evidence across organs is limited by heterogeneity between cohorts, so reproducible cross-organ signals are usually reported as gene lists rather than as validated candidates. We therefore developed a...

The pronounced spatial heterogeneity of soil heavy metals, coupled with the high costs and intensive resource requirements associated with large-scale sampling, presents substantial challenges for accurate spatial prediction and risk assessment. Alth...

Bovine mastitis causes severe economic losses in the dairy industry and relies heavily on antimicrobial treatments, accelerating the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Avian egg yolk antibodies (IgY) offer a promising, sustainable alternative. This...

Plant pathogenic fungi pose a serious threat to agricultural and forestry production. Long- term reliance on chemical fungicides has led to rising pathogen resistance and ecological risks, making the discovery and development of novel, safe, and high...

Fine kaolinite particles form stable suspensions that impede solid–liquid separation. A chitosan-based flocculant, CS-g-P(AM-AMPS), was synthesized by ultrasound-assisted graft copolymerization of acrylamide (AM) and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropan...
