A common form of Acne is caused by a species of bacterium called Cutibacterium acnes. By using a predictive algorithm and structural analysis, the authors identified 5 small molecules with high affinity to growth factors in Catibacterium acnes. This has potential implications for supplemental skincare products.

Resveratrol is a type of stillbenoid, a phenolic compound produced in plants, that is known for its anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. Many oligomers of resveratrol have recently been isolated their bioactivities remain unknown. Here, authors compared the bioactivities of resveratrol with natural dimers (ε-viniferin and gnetin H) and trimers (suffruticosol B and C). Results provide preliminary evidence that resveratrol oligomers could be potential preventive or therapeutic agents for cancers and other immune-related diseases

Online review platforms often provide different reviews on the same product, potentially confusing consumers. In this study, we found that the number of raters on Amazon is lower for the same book, while ratings on Amazon were higher than those on Goodreads. Furthermore, these differences in ratings and rater counts were larger for fiction books than for non‑fiction books.

The authors looked at how different factors related to practicing and playing chess would impact a player's rating.

The authors test the effects of pH level on different kinds of dental cement to model the long-term effects of reflux-induced stomach acid exposure.

The authors looked at if there was any correlation between the phase of the moon and admissions for psychiatric concerns.

The authors looked at non-natural factors that influenced the spread rate of fire ants in multiple cities in China.

The authors looked at beach nourishment (a way to combat erosion on coasts) and resulting grain size distribution. Their work is important to understand the dynamics of erosion and it's relation to wave action and the implications this has for efforts to mitigate coastal erosion.

The discussion surrounding self-medication with non-prescription medicines has gained significance in healthcare and public health, particularly given the global increase in consumption of non-prescription drugs. This study aimed to examine the association between the frequency of general practitioner (GP) consultations and the proportion of economic resources spent on OTC medicine.

The authors test various machine learning models to improve the accuracy and efficiency of pneumonia diagnosis from X-ray images.
