This article systematically summarizes the neuroprotective effects and mechanisms of ginsenosides Rg1, Rb1, and rare ginsenosides against Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The key findings indicate that ginsenosides exert their beneficial effects by modulating various signaling pathways related to inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and autophagy.

As a result of anthropogenic climate change, an alteration in the air mixture has occurred over time. These changes have increased human exposures to respiratory irritants such as ground-level ozone, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Regarding aeroallergens, studies have shown that elevated temperatures and increased carbon dioxide levels have produced prolonged and more robust pollen seasons for most taxa studied.

Coupling of social, economic, and environmental systems are important for achieving the sustainable development. This article examined the impact of China’s Targeted Poverty Alleviation (TPA) strategy on the sustainable development in the poor areas of China (PAC) and found that both the economic and social systems have developed rapidly in the PAC during the TPA period and the implementation of TPA facilitates the couplings among the three subsystems in the PAC and improves their coordination degree, turning from imbalanced to coordinated development.

The contribution of non-PAs to climate-driven species migration is important for long-term biodiversity conservation and climate change adaptationan. This article reveals that non-PAs provide transient refugia for species within PAs during climate-driven migrations in China and acts as steppingstones to facilitate species range shifts.

The article demonstrates that while healthier diets often align with reduced environmental impacts in several domains, significant trade-offs exist, particularly regarding water use and cost. Diet quality indexes that emphasize plant-based foods offer the most consistent sustainability benefits. However, no diet pattern is without drawbacks, underscoring the importance of nuanced, multidimensional assessments and the integration of nutrition and sustainability data to inform effective policy and clear public guidance.
