Researchers in China have combined network-pharmacology screening with molecular-docking validation to uncover, for the first time, a shared pharmacological network that connects sensitive-skin (SS) susceptibility with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). The findings provide a systematic target map for next-generation cosmeceuticals aimed at dual control of skin discomfort and uneven pigmentation.

Patients who are critically ill require constant monitoring and care. In such patients, creating a safe vein access is essential for continuous administration of medication and for monitoring the blood parameters. A novel ultrasound technique for inserting catheters into major veins near the collarbone demonstrated a 100% success rate and avoided serious complications like pneumothorax in critically ill adults, according to a retrospective study published in the Journal of Intensive Medicine.
In a comprehensive meta-analysis that delves into the environmental benefits of biochar, researchers are exploring its impact on reducing N2O emissions from fertilized cropland soils. The study, titled "Biochar Reduces N2O Emission from Fertilized Cropland Soils: A Meta-Analysis," is led by Prof. Xingliang Xu from the Key Laboratory of Ecosystem Network Observation and Modeling at the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, China, and the College of Resources and Environment at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Huairou District, Beijing, China. This research provides a detailed examination of how biochar can mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in agricultural settings.
Ever wondered how we can clean wastewater more efficiently? Scientists have discovered that biofilters made from pyrite and sawdust can remove harmful nitrogen compounds through a fascinating mix of bacteria and chemical reactions. Learn how these simple materials could transform wastewater treatment!
Discover how machine learning is helping researchers identify different groups of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in China and understand how their health conditions impact daily life. This new study offers insights into targeted treatments and better quality of life for those living with COPD.
