The concept of most responsible in international criminal law and its problematic reception in the Special Jurisdiction for Peace in Colombia by José Manuel Díaz-Soto, Diego Borbón

“…The article argues that the current conceptual ambiguity within the JEP's legal framework risks conflating accomplices with principal offenders, which could undermine the selective justice model designed to focus on high-level perpetrators. Through a comparative analysis of international criminal tribunals, including the ICTY, ICTR, ICC, and SCSL, the article highlights the importance of clear definitions to avoid excessive judicialization and to align the process with the goals of peace, reconciliation, and restorative justice. …”

Analysis of the complete mitogenomes of three high economic value tea plants (Tea-oil Camellia) provide insights into evolution and phylogeny relationship by Heng Liang, Heng Liang, Heng Liang, Heng Liang, Huasha Qi, Huasha Qi, Huasha Qi, Huasha Qi, Chunmei Wang, Chunmei Wang, Chunmei Wang, Chunmei Wang, Yidan Wang, Moyang Liu, Jiali Chen, Jiali Chen, Jiali Chen, Jiali Chen, Xiuxiu Sun, Xiuxiu Sun, Xiuxiu Sun, Xiuxiu Sun, Tengfei Xia, Tengfei Xia, Tengfei Xia, Tengfei Xia, Shiling Feng, Cheng Chen, Daojun Zheng, Daojun Zheng, Daojun Zheng, Daojun Zheng

“…IntroductionTea-oil Camellia species play a crucial economic and ecological role worldwide, yet their mitochondrial genomes remain largely unexplored.MethodsIn this study, we assembled and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genomes of Camellia oleifera and C. meiocarpa, revealing multi-branch structures that deviate from the typical circular mitochondrial genome observed in most plants. The assembled mitogenomes span 953,690 bp (C. oleifera) and 923,117 bp (C. meiocarpa), containing 74 and 76 annotated mitochondrial genes, respectively.ResultsComparative genomic analyses indicated that C. oleifera and C. meiocarpa share a closer genetic relationship, whereas C. drupifera is more distantly related. …”

Durvalumab and pembrolizumab in advanced biliary tract cancer: a reconstructed patient-level mimic head-to-head comparative analysis by Bi-Cheng Wang, Bo-Hua Kuang, Guo-He Lin, Chen Fu

“…Neither the durvalumab nor pembrolizumab groups statistically improved the OS compared to the gemcitabine-maintenance group. In contrast, the durvalumab and pembrolizumab groups significantly improved OS compared to the gemcitabine-limited-to-8-cycles group.ConclusionsBased on this mimic head-to-head analysis, we are convinced that durvalumab and pembrolizumab benefit patients with biliary tract cancer. …”

Multiple-omics analysis of three novel haloalkaliphilic species of Kocuria revealed that the phenolic acid-degrading abilities are ubiquitous in the genus by Lian Xu, Lian Xu, Rui-Qi Sun, Jia-Hui Zeng, Hua-Mei Wei, Biao Shen, Ji-Quan Sun

“…At the same time, the yield of benzoate originated from CA was subsequently converted to catechol by the benzoate 1,2-dioxygenase system (BenABCD) or phenylacetyl-CoA epoxidase (PaaABCD) and further completed the ring-cleavage by catechol 1,2-dioxygenase or catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (two non-PcaGH dioxygenases). The comparative genomic analysis revealed that the genes for phenolic acids hydroxylation, protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenation, and those involved in the β-ketoadipic acid pathways are universal in the Kocuria strains. …”
