Global research trends in male fertility and environmental factors (2016-2025)： a multi-database bibliometric analysis and cross-validation study

This multi-database bibliometric analysis of global research from 2016 to 2025 reveals a rapidly expanding, interdisciplinary field centered on oxidative stress and environmental factors affecting male fertility, with China and the US as leading contributors and future directions pointing toward epigenetic mechanisms, emerging pollutants, and biomarker development.

10-HDA from royal jelly ameliorates autism-like behaviors by promoting Treg commitment through microbiota-IL-6-driven bivalent histone remodeling

This study demonstrates that 10-HDA, a key component of royal jelly, ameliorates autism-like behaviors in mice by restructuring the gut microbiota to suppress IL-6, which subsequently downregulates the methylase Kmt2b to remodel bivalent histone landscapes and promote the epigenetic commitment of Tregs, thereby restoring immune balance and social function.

Outcome of low pathogenicity avian influenza (H7N9) experimental infection of urban and rural house sparrows (Passer domesticus) is impacted by natural Avipoxvirus infection

This study demonstrates that urban and rural house sparrows are similarly susceptible to low pathogenicity H7N9 avian influenza, but natural co-infection with Avipoxvirus significantly increases the prevalence and persistence of both viruses, highlighting a critical ecological interaction that may influence the birds' role as bridge hosts for influenza transmission.

Carried but Conditionally Used: A Frozen Held-Out Audit of Whether Chirality-Aware Molecular Fingerprints Predict Measured Same-Assay Enantioselectivity

This study employs a prospectively specified, cryptographically frozen audit to demonstrate that while radius-3 Morgan fingerprints effectively distinguish enantiomers, their ability to predict measured same-assay enantioselectivity under scaffold extrapolation is real but strongly target-dependent, yielding significant results for only a subset of targets while others show null or negative predictive skill.

Validation design changes wearable stress-state classification performance in hospital nurses

This study demonstrates that while wearable-based stress classifiers for hospital nurses may show high internal accuracy, their performance significantly degrades when evaluated on unseen individuals, highlighting the critical need for participant-level validation to ensure transportability before operational use.

Multi-omics integrative analysis reveals shared immunometabolic features between breast cancer and type 2 diabetes through CLEC7A associated myeloid immune reprogramming and the MIF signaling axis

This multi-omics study reveals that breast cancer and type 2 diabetes share immunometabolic mechanisms driven by CLEC7A-associated myeloid immune reprogramming and the MIF–CD74/CXCR4 signaling axis, offering new insights into their cross-disease inflammatory communication and potential therapeutic targets.

Whole chickpea suppresses colorectal cancer progression through gut microbiome and metabolome modulation

This study demonstrates that dietary supplementation with whole chickpeas suppresses colorectal cancer progression in mice by modulating the gut microbiome and metabolome, specifically through the enrichment of beneficial bacteria and the upregulation of protective metabolites like 13(S)-HpODE and dihydroresveratrol.

The dynamical advantage of scale-free networks

This paper reveals that while degree heterogeneity in scale-free networks hinders control toward arbitrary states, it actually facilitates control toward natural attractors, thereby acting as a dynamical design principle that balances structural robustness with selective functional responsiveness.

Using stable isotopes to reveal site-level differences in juvenile lemon shark Negaprion brevirostris (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae) nursery habitat use in the British Virgin Islands

This study utilizes stable isotope analysis of juvenile lemon sharks and their prey in the British Virgin Islands to demonstrate that two nearby nursery sites operate on distinct nutrient regimes and seagrass-based carbon pathways, providing a quantitative baseline for monitoring future environmental changes.

MRI Evidence of Anterograde Trans-synaptic Degeneration After Eye Loss: Preserved Primary Visual Cortex Thickness Despite Lateral Geniculate Nucleus Atrophy

This study demonstrates that while eye loss leads to significant bilateral atrophy of the lateral geniculate nucleus, the primary visual cortex maintains its cortical thickness, indicating a differential susceptibility of subcortical and cortical visual structures to anterograde trans-synaptic degeneration.
