China’s “double reduction” policy, launched in 2021, seeks to ease student stress by limiting homework and curbing off-campus tutoring. Early results show reduced anxiety and greater parent satisfaction, yet challenges remain. Teacher workloads have increased, resource gaps persist in rural schools, and underground tutoring continues. Sustained progress will require systemic reforms and collaboration among schools, families, and policymakers to ensure balanced, high-quality education for all.

Dr. Jin Wang from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences/ State University of New York at Stony Brook and Dr. Xiaona Fang from Northeast Normal University published an article titled “Identifying early warning signals of cancer formation” in the journal Quantitative Biology. Using theories of nonequilibrium potential landscape and steady-state probability flux, and indicators such as entropy production rate and mean flux derived from time-series gene expression data, they identified early warning signals during gastric cancer development, providing theoretical basis for early diagnosis.

Truncal acne differs from facial acne, with lower sebum/pH but greater microbial imbalance. Androgen levels, gender, and material contact influence outbreaks. The study evaluates treatment products' mechanisms, targets, and pros/cons, guiding clinical choices. These insights advance research and management strategies for truncal acne. 

Building on serum metabolites analysis in rosacea, researchers have identified linoleic acid (LNA) as a key therapeutic candidate, and further demonstrated that LNA prevents rosacea-like dermatitis in LL37-induced rosacea-like mouse model.

Researchers conducted comprehensive safety assessments on triazine UV filters ethylhexyl triazone (EHT) and diethylhexyl butamido triazone (HEB). Through bacterial reverse mutation, chromosomal aberration, micronucleus assays, and 3T3 phototoxicity tests, both compounds showed no genotoxic or phototoxic effects even at high concentrations. These findings support the safety of EHT/HEB for topical use in sunscreens, addressing regulatory concerns.

A thermal management scheme is designed in this paper that can be applied to 51.2 Tbit/s co-packaged optics (CPO), which successfully solved the heat dissipation difficulties of high-bandwidth co-packaged optics.

Research has revealed energy back transfer in Yb³⁺/Er³⁺-doped materials under 980 nm excitation, which is crucial for optimizing the excitation power point for optical temperature measurements.
