Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 8, Page 2599-2622, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

Reconsidering Molecular Docking Practices in Aptamer Research

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
Benchmarking against the theophylline aptamer crystal structure shows that current docking workflows generate incorrect structures and fail to predict binding specificity, underscoring the need for caution when interpreting docking results in aptamer research. Molecular docking is increasingly used to infer aptamer–target interactions, yet most studies
