Aim Bird nest structures are critical for reproductive success and vary widely across species. However, the ecological and evolutionary drivers behind enclosed nests (domes and cavities) remain unclear, with previous studies yielding conflicting results. Leveraging recently available comprehensive nest trait data, we aim to clarify whether enclosed nests primarily function as protection from predation or for regulation of micr...

Albumin, a highly biocompatible protein, has been utilized in the construction of anti-cancer drugs for the treatment of various cancers. However, albumin-based nanomedicines still face several clinical challenges, including low stability in the bloodstream, non-specific targeting ability, and lack of controlled release capability. To address these limitations, we developed a multiprotein-based nanomedicine for targeted chemot...
