| On the cover: Medicine is the practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. With the advances in medical science, human beings are getting both longer life spans and higher quality of life. From herbs to molecular signatures, humankind is experiencing a transition from traditional medicine to personalized medicine: the right treatment to the right patient at the right time. However, it is not so easy to achieve this goal because the etiology of most diseases and disorders is still unclear. From description to association, numerous researchers are working together to decipher the mechanisms behind disease. To address such challenges, more and more global collaborations are badly needed to include experts from all disciplines: not just doctors, scientists and administration staff, but also engineers, technicians and marketing managers. Not limited to a fish-eye view, we humans should widen our vision and get more deep insights beyond the human community. That is the right way to assure sustainable healthcare for humanity. |

Multiple stressors threating the river-lake ecosystems of the middle and lower Yangtze Basin with collapse of fish catch during the past decades
Rivers and their lakes are among the world¡¯s most important ecosystems supporting high biodiversity and providing various services through connections with vast landscapes. Reconciling exploitation with sustainability remains one of the world¡¯s greatest challenges to maintain and/or recover the health of river ecosystems and hence their biodiversity and ecosystem services.1 As one of the major national initiatives toward building ¡°ecological civilization¡± and an extensive protection of the Yangtze River in China, a ¡°10-year fishing ban¡± plan (TYFB) was launched from January 2021.
