Hiking Trails Facilitate the Spread of a Native High‐Arctic Species by Deborah Zani, Heike Lischke, Jonas Åkerman, Veiko Lehsten

“…Distance from the station (56% explained variation) and minimum distance from the trail (28%) significantly explained the species density across the research area (best GLM R2 = 0.755). The modelled species spread including the trail effect (fitted spread ~30 m yr.−1) managed to capture the maximum extent of the occupied area, whereas simulations assuming only local spread (~2 m yr.−1) underestimated the historical extent. …”

Ginsenoside Rk2 alleviates hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury by enhancing AKT membrane translocation and activation by Hong Shen, Jiajun Fu, Jiayue Liu, Toujun Zou, Kun Wang, Xiao‐Jing Zhang, Jian‐Bo Wan

“…Rk2 significantly reduced inflammation and apoptosis caused by oxygen‐glucose deprivation and reperfusion in hepatocytes and dose dependently protected against hepatic I/R‐induced liver injury in mice. Integrated approaches, including network pharmacology, molecular docking, transcriptome analysis, and isothermal titration calorimetry, along with experimental validation, indicated that Rk2 protects against hepatic IRI by targeting and activating the AKT (RAC serine/threonine protein kinase) signaling pathway. …”
