The paper highlights the interconnectedness of public health crises, such as pandemics, with biodiversity loss and climate change, as increased demand for materials to combat infectious diseases exacerbates environmental pressures, posing a threat to global sustainability and biodiversity.
This review paper highlights the significance of rewilding using reptiles for the purpose of ecological restoration and it outline the consequences for reptilian rewilding under climate change.
This Review supports SDGs 3 and 15 by exploring the links between climate change, biodiversity loss, and infectious diseases. The authors focus on the social, political, and financial factors that frame these issues, and suggest that a better understanding of these interactions is needed to drive solutions.
This article discusses the potential therapeutic strategy of enhancing mitophagy through rapamycin treatment to alleviate cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease by improving mitochondrial dysfunction and neuronal loss, suggesting a novel mechanism for the neuroprotective effects of rapamycin in AD.

This study investigated antiviral effects in a real-world cohort of non-cirrhotic CHB patients with varying degrees of HS, assessed by transient elastography (TE) with controlled attenuation parameter (CAP).
This Article supports SDG 3 by arguing that people under community correction supervision (probation or parole) are a large population of individuals at risk of viral hepatitis, to whom little attention has thus far been paid. Targeting hepatitis testing and treatment services at this population would be feasible and effective in reducing hepatitis incidence.
This study aims to develop novel prognostic models based on the dynamic changes in variables to predict the short-term mortality of HBV-associated ACLF (HBV-ACL)
The study forecasts AI-based innovation's impact on SDGs in 22 countries from 2022 to 2030 using System Dynamics Modeling. In most of the 22 countries studied, AI-based innovation positively affects SDGs 1, 3, and 5. For half of the countries studied, AI-based innovation positively influences SDGs 2, 4, 6–8, 11, 13, and 16–17. AI-based innovation does not positively influence SDGs 10, 12, 14–15 for most countries studied.
