Abstract

Issue 47–6 of the Biomedical Journal explores the delicate boundaries of human blood. It examines the relationship between anemia and the gut microbiome, as well as the modified activation patterns in compensatory blood oxygenation observed in COVID-19, and lastly a series of experiments investigates the effects of SARS-CoV-2 variant spike proteins on the biology and morphology of red blood cells. Additionally, a fungus endemic to Taiwan shows potential as a treatment for pulmonary fibrosis, while relevant co-infections in schistosomiasis appear to be benefitting from altered receptor signaling in macrophages. A genomic study identifies an important locus in Taiwanese patients with Tourette syndrome, and a retrospective evaluation is conducted on the incidental detection of common bile duct dilatation in pediatric patients.

神圣的生命力：血液的脆弱力量。

第 46-7 期《生物医学杂志》探讨了人体血液的微妙界限。它研究了贫血与肠道微生物群之间的关系，以及在 COVID-19 中观察到的代偿性血液氧合的激活模式改变，最后，一系列实验研究了 SARS-CoV-2 变异尖峰蛋白对红细胞生物学和形态学的影响。此外，台湾特有的一种真菌显示出治疗肺纤维化的潜力，而血吸虫病的相关合并感染似乎受益于巨噬细胞中受体信号的改变。一项基因组研究确定了台湾抽动秽语综合征患者的一个重要基因位点，并对偶然发现的儿童总胆管扩张进行了回顾性评估。

期刊介绍： Biomedical Journal publishes 6 peer-reviewed issues per year in all fields of clinical and biomedical sciences for an internationally diverse authorship. Unlike most open access journals, which are free to readers but not authors, Biomedical Journal does not charge for subscription, submission, processing or publication of manuscripts, nor for color reproduction of photographs. Clinical studies, accounts of clinical trials, biomarker studies, and characterization of human pathogens are within the scope of the journal, as well as basic studies in model species such as Escherichia coli, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, and Mus musculus revealing the function of molecules, cells, and tissues relevant for human health. However, articles on other species can be published if they contribute to our understanding of basic mechanisms of biology. A highly-cited international editorial board assures timely publication of manuscripts. Reviews on recent progress in biomedical sciences are commissioned by the editors.
