TRIM21 contributes to senile osteoporosis by shifting the osteoadipogenic balance toward adipogenesis in BMSCs - Changwei Li; Leilei Chang; Li Zhou; Zhou Dan; Minglong Qiu; Zhe Chen; Yong Chen; Guoqing Tang; Lianfu Deng (Science China Life Sciences, 2026)
During aging, bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) tend to differentiate more into adipocytes than into osteoblasts, resulting in decreased bone formation and contributing to age-related osteoporosis and impaired bone regeneration. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. In this study, we observed an increase in the expression of TRIM21 in aged BMSCs, particularly those involved in adipogenesis. This increase in TRIM21 levels shifted the osteoadipogenic balance toward adipogenesis in BMSCs, resulting in reduced bone formation and ultimately leading to age-related osteoporosis and impaired bone regeneration. Mechanistically, activation of the IL-1β-JNK MAPK pathway triggered the expression of TRIM21 in aged BMSCs, which then shifted the osteoadipogenic balance toward adipogenesis by facilitating the degradation of β-catenin through K48 ubiquitination. Therefore, our findings suggest a potential intrinsic mechanism for age-related bone loss and suggest that targeting TRIM21 could be beneficial for treating age-related osteoporosis and impaired bone regeneration.

Francesco Di Virgilio, one of the giants of purinergic signalling, died suddenly on September 22, 2024, which is an immense loss to so many friends and colleagues and especially to his beloved wife, Dorianna. Here, 1 year on, we pay tribute to him and his immense contribution to our field. Francesco graduated in medicine from the University of Padova, Italy, in 1979, with what became a lifelong interest in inflammation. He then held post-doctoral positions at University College London, Padova University, and Columbia University, New York, where he became acquainted with P2X7 receptors. He then returned to Padova as an Associate Professor of Molecular Pathology before moving to the University of Ferrara in 1992, where he set up a world-leading lab that studied the roles and underlying cellular mechanisms of the action of P2X7 receptors in inflammatory pathologies. Francesco published over 370 peer-reviewed articles, which have been cited > 35,000 times, giving him an H-index > 100. In addition, he filed several patents related to purinergic signalling. He also collaborated extensively, both within the University of Ferrara and worldwide, including in universities in the UK, Spain, Germany, the USA, and Brazil. Francesco was a man of great passion and intellect, who possessed scientific vision, intuition, and integrity, and he became the go-to world expert on P2X7 receptors and inflammation. We have lost a giant in the field and a dear friend, but he leaves behind an exceptional body of work, an outstanding legacy, and many friends who will miss him.

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the radiosensitizing potential of β-caryophyllene (BCP), a natural CB2 receptor agonist, in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods Murine CT26 and human HCT116 CRC cells were treated with BCP alone or in combination with radiotherapy (RT). Cell viability was evaluated using the MTT assay, and combination index (CI) values were calculated to assess synergy. Flow cytometry and immunofluorescence were used to analyze cell cycle distribution and DNA damage. Protein expression levels of PPARγ, phosphorylated AKT (pAKT), cyclin D1, Bax, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase-3 were examined by western blot. Results BCP synergistically enhanced RT-induced cytotoxicity in both CRC cell lines, with CI values ranging from 0.92 to 0.70 in CT26 cells and from 0.78 to 0.68 in HCT116 cells at 4 and 8 Gy irradiation. The combination treatment resulted in significant G2/M arrest and sustained γH2AX expression at both 24 and 48 h, indicating persistent DNA double-strand breaks. BCP suppressed pAKT and cyclin D1 levels while upregulated PPARγ expression. Activated apoptosis was verified by increased Bax/Bcl-2 ratios and elevated cleaved caspase-3 levels. Conclusion BCP enhances the radiosensitivity of CRC cells by promoting RT-induced DNA damage and triggering PPARγ-mediated apoptotic pathways. These findings support its potential as a natural radiosensitizer in CRC treatment.

Psychometric evaluation of a modified food security survey scale in the economically deprived population of Hong Kong - Ka Yu Kwan; Pui Hing Chau; Mandy Ho; Chee Hon Chan; Raymond Lap Ming Tang; Paul Siu Fai Yip (Food Security, 2026)
Food security is vital for global health and sustainable development. However, existing validated versions of the Household Food Security Survey Module (HFSSM) cannot address the needs for a shorter Chinese version with a shorter reference period. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of a 6-item Chinese-version of the HFSSM (3-month reference period), among the economically deprived population in Hong Kong. This study included 512 observations from community-dwelling Chinese adults (≥ 18 years), who were social services users or food assistant service applicants, and with household income < 75% of the population median. Construct validity and scale targeting were assessed using Rasch analysis. Convergent validity, known-group validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability were also examined. The construct validity was satisfactory, with a logical item calibration hierarchy and good infit statistics for five items (0.81–1.26), although a floor effect was indicated in the Wright map. The convergent validity was supported through a moderate positive correlation with the single-item household food insufficiency scale ( r = 0.58). Known-group validity showed higher scores among those aged < 65 years (d = 1.17, p < 0.001), living with children aged < 18 years (d = 1.09, p < 0.001), enrolled in the food assistance program (d = 0.54, p < 0.001), living at the poverty line or below (d = 0.30, p = 0.010), and with poor or fair health (d = 0.20, p = 0.028). Furthermore, the scale had fair-to-good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.88, Rasch person reliability = 0.64) and excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.96) in one week. The 6-item Chinese-version of the HFSSM (3-month reference period) is a valid and reliable measure of household food insecurity in the economically deprived population in Hong Kong.

The impact of vividness of visual imagery on the construction of multi-dimensional situation models by second language learners - Ran Tang; Qichao Song; Norio Matsumi (Cognitive Processing, 2026)
This study investigates how Chinese native speakers learning Japanese as a second language construct situation models across five dimensions, i.e., protagonist, time, space, causality, and intentionality, while reading Japanese narratives, and how visual imagery vividness affects this process. Employing a generalized linear mixed-effects model, we conducted an analysis of verb-clustering data. The results showed that (1) the protagonist, time, and space dimensions played significant roles in constructing situation models in Chinese learners of Japanese, while the causality and intentionality dimensions did not have significant impacts; (2) the construction of situation models in L2 learners’ reading was influenced by visual imagery vividness. Learners with higher visual imagery vividness were better able to construct accurate situation models when the protagonist and space dimensions were discontinuous. The findings provide new insights into understanding the cognitive processing mechanisms of second-language learners and suggest that visual imagery vividness plays a crucial role in the construction of situation models. This research offers empirical support for optimizing teaching strategies of second-language reading.

Precise point positioning with an adaptive geometry-free cycle slip detection threshold under complex ionospheric conditions - Long Tang; Luheng Zhou; Fan Xu; Jiahuan Hu; Xiaohong Zhang (GPS Solutions, 2026)
Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) precise point positioning (PPP) performance experiences significant degradation under complex ionospheric conditions, particularly during geomagnetic storm events. To address this challenge, this study develops an adaptive geometry-free (GF) cycle slip detection threshold model, leveraging GNSS Doppler measurements to reduce the incorrect cycle slip detection, thereby enhancing the accuracy and reliability of GNSS PPP. The proposed threshold model is fitted using Doppler index data extracted from 110 International GNSS Service (IGS) stations on the 11th May 2024 when an extreme geomagnetic storm occurred. 72 IGS stations which are not used in modeling on the same day are employed to validate its performance. The results show that PPP with adaptive GF cycle slip detection threshold can achieve positioning accuracy improvements by 42.4% and 37.2% in horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, compared with traditional strategy. Furthermore, positioning accuracy improvements of 63.1% and 50.1% in horizontal and vertical are obtained with data from another geomagnetic storm event on the 11th October 2024, which further demonstrates the efficiency and uniformity of proposed model. Comparison of positioning accuracy with tight and loose thresholds during the ionospheric quiescence periods also verifies the adaptability of the built model.

Andrew Boswell; Guangnong Zhang (The AAPS Journal, 2026)
Accurate assessment of tissue distribution for oligonucleotide therapeutic (ONT) drug candidates is essential for understanding pharmacokinetic behavior and predicting therapeutic efficacy. ONTs present a unique challenge with their rapid systemic clearance coupled with prolonged tissue retention, making comprehensive tissue concentration evaluation critical for successful drug development. The IQ Consortium Tissue Concentration Working Group surveyed member companies about their current tissue concentration assessment methods to understand industry practices and identify areas for improvement. Most companies reported that ONTs still represent a relatively small portion of their pre-candidate selection portfolios, reflecting the evolving nature of this therapeutic modality. siRNAs dominated development efforts across surveyed organizations, followed by antisense oligonucleotides, indicating clear therapeutic class preferences within the industry. Assessment strategies varied considerably across organizations, highlighting different approaches to resource allocation and risk management. While some companies routinely evaluate tissue concentrations for all ONT programs regardless of indication or target, others take a more selective, program-dependent approach based on compound characteristics and therapeutic objectives. Despite this strategic variability, there was universal reliance on LC–MS for quantification, often supplemented with qPCR/RT-qPCR and hybridization assays for comprehensive analytical coverage. All surveyed companies integrate tissue concentration data into translational pharmacokinetic modeling efforts, yet few have adopted physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models as standard practice. Companies recognize the value of improving ONT tissue distribution assessment through standardized methodology tailored to specific oligonucleotide classes. Graphical Abstract

Logistics–Energy Coordinated Scheduling in Hybrid AC/DC Ship–Shore Interconnection Architecture with Enabling Peak-Shaving of Quay Crane Clusters - Fanglin Chen; Xujing Tang; Hang Yu; Chengqing Yuan; Tian Wang; Xiao Wang; Shanshan Shang; Songbin Wu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
With the gradual rise of battery-powered ships, the high-power charging demand during berthing is poised to exacerbate the peak-to-valley difference in the port grid, possibly leading to grid congestion and logistical disruption. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a bi-level coordinated scheduling scheme across both logistical operations and energy flow dispatch. Initially, by developing a refined model for the dynamic power characteristics of quay crane (QC) clusters, the surplus power capacity that can be stably released through an orderly QC operational delay is quantified. Subsequently, a hybrid AC/DC ship–shore interconnection architecture based on a smart interlinking unit (SIU) is proposed to utilize the QC peak-shaving capacity and satisfy the increasing shore power demand. In light of these, at the logistics level a coordinated scheduling of berths, QCs, and ships charging is performed with the objective of minimizing port berthing operational costs. At the energy flow level, the coordinated delay in QC clusters’ operations and SIU-enabled power dispatching are implemented for charging power support. The case studies demonstrate that, compared with the conventional independent operational mode, the proposed coordinated scheduling scheme enhances the shore power supply capability by utilizing the QC peak-shaving capability effectively. Moreover, as well as satisfying the charging demands of electric ships, the proposed scheme significantly reduces the turnaround time of ships and achieves a 39.29% reduction in port berthing operational costs.

Geochemical characteristics of gas hydrate-bearing sediments: insights from a multi-proxy approach - Yinghan Lu; Hailin Yang; Yuan Xue; Yukai Tang; Chenlu Xu; Hailong Lu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Gas hydrate-bearing sediments are highly sensitive to redox fluctuations, primarily driven by methane fluxes associated with gas hydrate decomposition or cold seep activity. These sediments serve as valuable archives, preserving records of past redox states and methane emission events. Trace elements and rare earth elements (REE) have been widely applied as proxies to reconstruct such environmental conditions. Anoxic, methane-rich depositional environments characteristic of gas hydrate systems promote the enrichment of redox-sensitive major and trace elements (e.g., Fe, Mo, U, Ce) and REE in seep carbonates and surrounding sediments, suggesting that these settings act as important sinks for these elements. Methane also strongly shapes the geochemical signatures, with dynamic seepage events identified through indicators within the sulfate-methane transition zone (SMTZ), such as the barite front, molybdenum enrichment, and authigenic carbonate precipitation. However, relying solely on bulk sediment analysis often leads to ambiguous interpretations. Here we highlight that geochemical signals are fractionated differentially across these phases: carbonates capture fluid signatures, while pyrite hosts sulfur and chalcophile elements (e.g., Mo, As). This review synthesizes and evaluates previous findings, highlighting current knowledge, identifying uncertainties, and outlining directions for future research.

Spatial and Economic Concentration of Offshore Mariculture in China: Insights from a Nation-Scale GIS Dataset - Wei Yang; Yinping Hu; Kunlin Tang (Fishes, 2026)
China is the world’s leading producer of offshore mariculture, contributing more than 60 percent of global output. Yet the provincial distribution of mariculture space and its economic concentration are still not well described at a comparable national scale. This study draws on a publicly available nation-scale GIS dataset extracted from Landsat 8 imagery from 2018 to map offshore mariculture across nine coastal provinces and to quantify spatial inequality and specialization. The mapped offshore mariculture footprint totals 733,840 ha. The distribution is sharply uneven. Fujian alone reaches 183,025 ha, nearly thirty times the area of Hainan. The Gini coefficient is 0.412, and concentration ratios show that the top three provinces account for 64.0 percent of the total area, and the top five account for 84.5 percent. Location quotient results indicate strong specialization in Fujian, Jiangsu, and Hebei, while Hainan and Guangxi remain marginal. Cluster analysis further identifies three development modes: large-scale expansion, medium-scale and relatively balanced growth, and small-scale dispersed production. Overall, the pattern is consistent with resource endowment, agglomeration effects, and path dependence. The findings point to the need for improved coastal spatial planning, stronger interprovincial technology diffusion, and differentiated governance that balances efficiency with equity and environmental sustainability.

Data Augmentation and Time–Frequency Joint Attention for Underwater Acoustic Communication Modulation Classification - Mingyu Cao; Qi Chen; Jinsong Tang; Haoran Wu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
This paper presents a modulation signal classification and recognition algorithm based on data augmentation and time–frequency joint attention (DA-TFJA) for underwater acoustic (UWA) communication systems. UWA communication, as an important means of marine information transmission, plays a key role in fields such as marine engineering, military reconnaissance, and marine science research. Accurate recognition of modulated signals is a core technology for ensuring the reliability of UWA communication systems. Traditional classification and recognition methods, mostly based on pure neural network algorithms, suffer from insufficient feature representation and limited generalization performance in complex and changing UWA channel environments. They also struggle to address complex factors such as multipath, Doppler shift, and noise interference, often resulting in scarce effective training samples and inadequate classification accuracy. To overcome these limitations, the proposed DA-TFJA algorithm simulates the characteristics of real UWA channels through two novel data augmentation strategies: the adaptive time–frequency transform enhancement algorithm (ATFT) and dynamic path superposition enhancement algorithm (DPSE). An end-to-end recognition network is developed that integrates a multiscale time–frequency feature extractor (MTFE), two-layer long short-term memory (LSTM) temporal modeling, and a time–frequency joint attention mechanism (TFAM). This comprehensive architecture achieves high-precision recognition of six modulation types, including 2FSK, 4FSK, BPSK, QPSK, DSSS, and OFDM. Experimental results demonstrate that compared with existing advanced methods, DA-TFJA achieves a classification accuracy of 98.36% on the measured reservoir dataset, representing an improvement of 3.09 percentage points, which fully verifies the effectiveness and practical value of the proposed approach.

High precision lightweight prediction of short term sea surface temperature in the East China Sea: TFLinear model - Bingjie Xiang; Kai Tang; Chaopeng Li; Xiaochun Cao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Sea surface temperature (SST) serves as a critical indicator for assessing marine ecosystem health. Given the increasing human exploitation of marine resources, accurate SST prediction has garnered significant attention. While existing neural network based approaches effectively capture spatio temporal dependencies within SST data, they often suffer from high computational complexity. To address this, we propose TFLinear, a lightweight SST prediction model that incorporates a novel Residual Temporal Frequency (RTF) module which combines residual linking, depthwise separable convolution, and fast Fourier transform (FFT) into the DLinear framework. The method operates in three key stages: spatial feature extraction via depthwise separable convolution, time frequency decoupling of SST sequences using FFT to isolate trend, seasonal, and transient components, and multi step prediction through dedicated linear channels followed by component wise fusion. We evaluated TFLinear using OSTIA SST data from the East China Sea for 1 to 10 days forecasts, comparing it against state of the art benchmarks. Results show that TFLinear achieves superior performance in MAE, RMSE, and R², with improvements of 7.9% to 23%, while maintaining significantly lower computational cost — demonstrating strong potential for efficient and accurate SST forecasting in practical scenarios.

Advances in natural compounds modulating autophagy for the therapeutic intervention of heart failure - Jiaqian Tang; Chang Zhou; Mengyuan Li; Jing Tao; Ruying Deng; Xinyi Ouyang; Guomin Zhang; Huiping Liu (Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2026)
Heart failure (HF) represents the terminal stage of multiple cardiovascular disorders and is characterized by substantial morbidity, disability, and mortality. Although standard pharmacotherapies offer partial symptomatic relief, their capacity to halt or reverse disease progression remains limited. In recent years, autophagy—an essential intracellular degradation and recycling process that safeguards cardiomyocyte homeostasis—has emerged as a critical determinant in the onset and progression of HF. In this review, we systematically examined approximately 170 research articles related to “natural compounds-autophagy-HF” published up to 2025, and synthesized major advances reported over the past five years. Based on chemical structure and natural source, representative bioactive compounds were categorized into five major classes: flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, and marine-derived molecules. We then integrated evidence on the principal autophagy-regulatory signaling cascades influenced by these compounds, including the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) axis, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt), sirtuin 1 (SIRT1)/forkhead box O (FOXO), BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa-interacting protein 3 (BNIP3)/NIP3-like protein X (NIX), and Beclin-1 pathways. Moreover, this review summarizes how these natural compounds modulate autophagy to attenuate key pathological processes associated with HF, including cardiac hypertrophy, adverse ventricular remodeling, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. By comparing convergent mechanisms and compound-specific differences in autophagy-mediated cardioprotection, we highlight emerging mechanistic patterns and therapeutic implications. Collectively, through structured classification of compounds, integration of autophagy signaling pathways, and assessment of translational potential, this review provides a systematic framework to guide the rational application and further development of natural products for the prevention and treatment of HF.

Establishment and Application of Surface Water Quality Model Based on PhreeqcRM - Shuna Hong; Kexin Wang; Qi Tang; Jun Kong (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
In this study, we developed a novel water quality model that integrated hydrodynamic, solute transport, and geochemical reactions processes. This model was built upon the open-source ELCIRC hydrodynamic model, the TVD-format solute transport model, and the PhreeqcRM geochemical reaction engine. The accuracy of the model was rigorously validated using a 2D chain decay analytical solution, demonstrating its capability to accurately simulate water flow, solute transport, and chemical reactions. To evaluate the practical applicability of the model, case studies involving the 2012 Huaihe River benzene leakage accident and the acetic acid leakage accident in the Gulei sea area were simulated. Findings indicate that the model effectively captures the diffusion and attenuation dynamics of the benzene contamination plume. Furthermore, it accurately depicts the reaction–diffusion interaction with seawater following acetic acid release. Notably, the versatility and flexibility of the model were further demonstrated by its ability to simulate a wide range of pollutants and their associated biochemical processes. This addresses the limitations of existing water quality models and provides a powerful tool for environmental monitoring and assessment. The results of this study offer valuable insights for improving water quality management and emergency response strategies in the face of environmental pollution incidents.

Deep-Sea Sediment Creep Mechanism and Prediction: Modified Singh–Mitchell Model Under Temperature–Stress–Time Coupling - Yan Feng; Qiunan Chen; Lihai Wu; Guangping Liu; Jinhu Tang; Zengliang Wang; Xiaodi Xu; Bingchu Chen; Shunkai Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
With the advancement in deep-sea resource development, the creep behavior of deep-sea remolded sediments under coupled temperature, confining pressure (σ3), and stress effects has become a critical issue threatening engineering stability. The traditional Singh–Mitchell model, limited by its neglect of temperature effects and prediction of infinite strain, struggles to meet deep-sea environmental requirements. Based on low-temperature, high-pressure triaxial tests (with temperatures ranging from 4 to 40 °C and confining pressures ranging from 100 to 300 kPa), this study proposes a modified model incorporating temperature–stress–time coupling. The model introduces a hyperbolic creep strain rate decay function to achieve strain convergence, establishes a saturated strain–stress exponential relationship, and quantifies the effect of temperature on characteristic time via coupling through the Arrhenius equation. The modified model demonstrates R2 values > 0.96 for full-condition creep curves. The results show several key findings: a 10 °C increase in temperature leads to a 30–50% growth in the steady-state creep rate; a 100 kPa increase in confining pressure enhances long-term strength by 20–30%. 20 °C serves as a critical temperature point. At this point, strain amplification reaches 2.1 times that of low-temperature ranges. These experimental findings provide crucial theoretical foundations and technical support for incorporating soil creep effects in deep-sea engineering design.

Task success in trained spiking neural network models coincides with emergence of cross-stimulus-modulated inhibition - Yuqing Zhu; Chadbourne M. B. Smith; Tarek Jabri; Mufeng Tang; Franz Scherr; Jason N. MacLean (Biological Cybernetics, 2026)
The neocortex is composed of spiking neurons interconnected in a sparse, recurrent network. Spiking activity within these networks underlies the computations that transform sensory inputs into appropriate behavioral responses. In this study, we train recurrent spiking neural network (SNN) models constrained by neocortical connectivity statistics and investigate the architectural changes that enable task-relevant, spike-based computations. We employ a binary state change detection task—an experimental paradigm used in animal behavioral studies. Our SNNs consist of interconnected excitatory and inhibitory units with connection probabilities and strengths modeled after the mouse neocortex and maintained throughout training and evaluation. Following training, we find that SNNs selectively modulate firing rates based on the binary input state, and that excitatory and inhibitory connectivity within and between input and recurrent layers adjusts accordingly. Notably, inhibitory neurons in the recurrent layer that positively modulate firing rates in response to one input state strengthen their connections to recurrent units with the opposite modulation. This push-pull connectivity—where excitation and inhibition are dynamically balanced in an opponent fashion—emerges as a key computational strategy and is reminiscent of connectivity observed in primary visual cortex. Using a one-hot output encoding yields identical firing rates to both input states, yet the push-pull inhibitory motif still arises. Importantly, this motif fails to emerge when Dale’s principle is not enforced during training, and task performance also declines.Furthermore, disrupting spike timing by a few milliseconds significantly impairs task performance, highlighting the importance of precise spike time coordination for computation in sparse networks like neocortex. The emergence of push-pull inhibition through task training in spiking models underscores the crucial role of interneurons and structured inhibition in shaping neural dynamics and spike-based information processing.

Ovarian Developmental Characteristics and Hypothalamic Transcriptomic Analysis of P. leopardus Under Different Aquaculture Modes - Jingjing Ding; Xin Zhang; Tianyu Jiang; Feng Tang; Liangtao Zheng; Yafeng Tan; Mengmeng Zhang; Jian Luo; Xin Wen (Fishes, 2026)
Two rearing systems are used for Plectropomus leopardus: sea-cage culture and the land-based flow-through aquaculture system. Cages approximate natural conditions and yield many high-quality eggs but offer limited control over ovarian development; the land-based system is highly controllable yet ovaries develop slowly and seldom reach full maturity. We compared these systems by analyzing growth–gonad relationships, monthly hormone profiles (GnRH, E2, GnIH), and hypothalamic transcriptomes in 14- and 18-month-old females. Within each system, body weight did not predict gonadal stage and energy allocation was size-independent. In cages, ovaries reached full maturity with normal histology; in tanks, gonads of all sizes remained at stage III, indicating arrested development. Serum GnRH and E2 displayed parallel increases from 12 to 14 months, declined at 16 months and surged at 18 months in both systems, while GnIH fluctuated inversely, suggesting antagonistic control. Transcriptome analysis identified fshr, cyp11a1 and sox17 as key down-regulated genes in tank-reared fish. KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway enrichment implicated GnRH, oxidative phosphorylation, ribosome and Wnt pathways in ovarian progression. These findings elucidate reproductive constraints under artificial conditions and provide molecular targets for controllable breeding of P. leopardus.

A multi-method comprehensive analysis of the taxonomy-based risk assessment of fishing vessel safety in Guangdong Province - Yingbang Huang; Yu Tang; Tianyu Zhang; LiLi Zhou (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Introduction Fishing vessel safety is critical for the sustainable development of fisheries in Guangdong Province, China. Methods This study systematically assessed the safety status of fishing vessels based on data from 687 accidents between 2019 and 2023, using a multi-method framework that combines the International Maritime Organization (IMO) taxonomy, Kernel Density Estimation (KDE), grid-based accident location statistics, and Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA). Results Key findings reveal that "Collision" accidents accounted for the highest proportion (47.16%), representing the primary accident type; while "Mechanical Damage/Failure" incidents occurred less frequently (7.28%), 98% resulted in severe casualties, highlighting their high hazard potential. Significant differences in vessel length, tonnage, and power output were observed among fishing vessels of different materials (steel vs. fiberglass). Spatial analysis indicates that the coastal areas from Yangjiang and Maoming to Zhanjiang, along with the Pearl River Estuary, constitute extremely high-risk zones. Accident distribution exhibits pronounced spatiotemporal clustering, such as a peak in August and the highest risk occurring at 9:00 AM. Discussion Based on these findings, the study proposes targeted measures including strengthening technical prevention and precise supervision, establishing a dynamic risk-tiered control mechanism, and constructing a data-driven long-term management system. This study not only deepens systematic understanding of fishing vessel safety risks in Guangdong Province but also provides replicable empirical evidence and decision support for relevant fisheries safety authorities.

Adaptive Dynamic Prediction-Based Cooperative Interception Control Algorithm for Multi-Type Unmanned Surface Vessels - Yuan Liu; Bowen Tang; Lingyun Lu; Zhiqing Bai; Guoxing Li; Shikun Geng; Xirui Xu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
In the dynamic marine environment, the high mobility of intrusion targets, complex interference, and insufficient multi-vessel coordination accuracy pose significant challenges to the cooperative interception mission of multiple unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). This paper proposes an adaptive dynamic prediction-based cooperative interception control algorithm and establishes a “mission planning—anti-interference control—phased coordination” system. Specifically, it ensures interception accuracy through threat-level-oriented target assignment and extended Kalman filter multi-step prediction, offsets environmental interference by separating the cooperative encirclement and anti-interference modules using an improved Two-stage architecture, and optimizes the movement of nodes to form a stable blockade through the “target navigation—cooperative encirclement” strategy. Simulation results show that in a 1000 m × 1000 m mission area, the node trajectory deviation is reduced by 40% and the heading angle fluctuation is decreased by 50, compared with the limit cycle encirclement algorithm, the average interception time is shortened by 15% and the average final distance between the intrusion target and the guarded target is increased by 20%, when the target attempts to escape, the relevant collision rates are all below 0.3%. The TFMUSV framework ensures the stable optimization of the algorithm and significantly improves the efficiency and reliability of multi-USV cooperative interception in complex scenarios. This paper provides a highly adaptable technical solution for practical tasks such as maritime security and anti-smuggling.
