This study demonstrates that Daphnetin (DAP) and its thermo-responsive gel effectively inhibit *Candida albicans* growth and biofilms both in vitro and in vivo by disrupting cell integrity, inducing oxidative stress, and showing low resistance potential, thereby offering a promising multi-target strategy for treating fungal infections.
This study utilizing the PRONIA cohort reveals that the relationship between childhood adversities and cognitive performance is heterogeneous across clinical groups (including psychosis and depression) and is significantly moderated by perceived discrimination, indicating that these associations vary depending on the specific clinical context and ongoing psychosocial stressors.
