This work exemplifies the transformative potential of integrating numerical simulations with field data. The findings not only resolve regional tectonic controversies but also establish a methodology applicable to analogous systems worldwide, reinforcing the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in decoding Earth’s complex architectures.

We have developed a dual bio-/photo-catalytic system for achieving enantioselective hydroamination of enamines, which can provide easy access to chiral vicinal diamines. These reactions proceed efficiently under green light excitation and exhibit excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% enantiomeric excess).We have developed a dual bio-/photo-catalytic system for achieving enantioselective hydroamination of enamines, which can provide easy access to chiral vicinal diamines.

A groundbreaking study introduces a novel Transformer-based time-series framework designed to predict daily risk alerts for sepsis patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This model, leveraging sequential data from the eICU database, dynamically captures evolving health trajectories, enabling real-time identification of high-risk patients and actionable insights for personalized interventions. The study, titled “Predictive model for daily risk alerts in sepsis patients in the ICU: visualization and clinical analysis of risk indicators” published in Precision Clinical Medicine February 8, 2025, demonstrates exceptional predictive power, with an AUC increasing from 0.87 on admission day to 0.92 by day 5, offering a new paradigm for ICU prognostics.

This study shows that the SAAR diet regulates glucose and lipid metabolism to support weight control without impacting appetite or physical activity (Figure 1), offering new insights into obesity management. The potential benefits and risks of a low-SAA diet in humans require further research to validate its molecular mechanisms and assess its clinical applications.

This research not only brings new hope for sustainable agricultural production but also lays a strong scientific foundation for future ecosystem service management. The complexity of soil micro-food webs and their impact on soil fertility is undoubtedly a crucial topic for future agricultural research and practice. Media and the public should pay attention to these findings, as they have the potential to revolutionize agricultural practices and address the dual challenges of food security and environmental protection.

A new study reveals that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection exacerbates ulcerative colitis (UC) by driving macrophage pyroptosis through the upregulation of glycolysis. This finding provides a potential therapeutic target for mitigating EBV-induced intestinal inflammation. The study, titled "Epstein-Barr virus infection exacerbates ulcerative colitis by driving macrophage pyroptosis via the upregulation of glycolysis," was published on January 21, 2025, in Precision Clinical Medicine.

A recent review in Engineering presents new methods for enhancing chiral optical signals. Chirality is important in many fields, but its optical signals are weak and hard to measure. The research covers strategies like tailoring optical fields, using photonic resonance, orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams, metasurfaces with bound states in the continuum (BICs), and nonlinear optics. These methods offer new ways to study chiral optics, though challenges remain.
