Summary: In this editorial, the authors reviewed the impact of the pandemic on the Chinese economy and the well-being of the Chinese population. They found that the pandemic has worsened economic inequality, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. The authors also discussed China's policy responses to the pandemic, noting that the zero-Covid policy was effective in stabilizing the economy, but struggled to balance disease control and economic growth in the later stages when more transmissive variants emerged. The editorial concludes with policy recommendations to protect public health and mitigate the impact of the pandemic.

Summary: This review explores the initiatives conducted in Latin American countries to implement or evaluate the implementation of HPV testing, finding that HPV implementation is feasible and promising for reducing cervical cancer morbidity and mortality. However, the cost saving lives and reducing suffering must be pragmatically evaluated by Latin American governments, making improving outcomes a mandatory priority for addressing an organized system of cervical cancer screening.

Summary: Biological clocks, composed of complex folding molecules, regulate the circadian rhythms of organisms. While research on plant clocks mainly focuses on Arabidopsis, there are still critical knowledge gaps regarding circadian rhythm molecular components in other important crop groups. The interactions between environmental factors and circadian rhythm regulation play a significant role in fine-tuning the physiological adaptations of current and future crops in response to a changing world.

Summary: Sepsis is a syndrome caused by a deregulated host response to infection, and the circadian system plays a key role in the timing and severity of sepsis. Different outcomes appear to be associated with the expression of the clock gene Bmal1 in the liver and myeloid immune cells. Understanding the role of the circadian system in sepsis pathology could be crucial for improving patient therapies.
