IntroductionMaternal nutrition influences human milk (HM) composition, particularly its fatty acid (FA) profile. However, evidence from Middle Eastern populations, including Saudi Arabia, remains limited. This study aime...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a leading cause of acute respiratory tract infections, particularly in children, older adults, and individuals with immunocompromising conditions. Despite incr...

Abstract Salient sounds in the environment automatically capture our attention, causing a shift of focus away from ongoing goal-directed tasks. Studies of cognitive flexibility can employ such paradigms to examine how th...

The coevolution of the human diet and gut microbiome has played a pivotal role in shaping metabolic, immune, and epigenetic functions across human history. Dietary transitions from high-fiber ancestral patterns to modern...

Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is a safe and cost-effective strategy for preventing cervical cancer, yet uptake remains low worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Numerous i...

Emissions of human-use antibiotics in China pose a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems and accelerate the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Existing assessments lack the facility-level resolution required for effe...

Abstract Populations residing in high-level natural radiation areas (HLNRA) along the monazite-rich coastal belt of Kerala, India, are chronically exposed to low-dose ionizing radiation, with lifetime cumulative doses ex...

Abstract Neural populations that are able to extract quantitative information from multiple sensory domains are essential for the survival of numerous species. How quantity is encoded across different senses is far from ...

Environmental factors such as air pollution, weather events, and ambient toxins are major contributors to human disease, with disproportionate impacts on vulnerable populations. In Puerto Rico, chronic exposure to air po...

IntroductionFrancisella tularensis is the causative agent of tularemia, a severe infection that can be fatal if untreated. There is a need for improved therapeutic options to enhance the efficacy of existing antibiotic r...

ABSTRACT Background and Aim Cervical cancer is a major public health issue in Botswana, driven by high HIV prevalence and limited screening access. Molecular detection of high‐risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) is cruci...

Background and aimsLiver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) have a key role in maintaining organismal homeostasis by scavenging blood-borne molecules and inducing specific immune tolerance to ingested antigens. The sca...

IntroductionA population’s demographic “type” is characterized by the shape of its age distribution. This structure provides insights into its behavioral ecology, such as how elderly individuals contribute to the s...

Oral mucosal ageing represents a fundamental reprogramming of the tissue microenvironment, a dynamic process that underlies the functional decline and heightened disease susceptibility observed in the elderly. This revie...

Grey wolves (Canis lupus) rely on olfaction to communicate and acquire information about their environment. Olfactory signals delivered via urine, faeces, and glandular secretions, serve critical functions in reproductio...

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common chronic lung disease in preterm infants and is characterized by aberrant late-stage lung development driven by multiple factors. Although previous studies have demonstr...

Abstract Breast cancer remains the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women worldwide, and its burden is particularly severe in regions affected by conflict and war. In these settings, oncology care is often disrupte...

BackgroundResting metabolic rate (RMR) prediction equations used today often rely on the consideration of binary sex. Significant intrasex variability and a lack of data on diverse populations raise concerns about these ...

Thymic stromal cells drive T cell development by supplying key cues for progenitor proliferation and differentiation. Although thymic epithelial cells are well characterized, recent studies highlight crucial functions of...
