Decoding Molecular Mechanisms of Pongamia pinnata Phytochemicals in Cancer Therapy

Medicine Advances, EarlyView.
Pongamia pinnata phytochemicals have multiple anticancer mechanisms, including antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐metastatic, and apoptosis‐inducing activities through molecular‐level regulation. These bioactive compounds protect normal cells from oxidative stress while promoting reactive oxygen species‐mediated tumor cell death and suppressing ...

The importance of biodiversity components differs among wood‐based material Nature's contributions to people (NCP) in a tropical montane ecosystem

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity can influence forest productivity, but this does not necessarily translate into higher provision of wood‐based Nature's contributions to people (NCP), as only a subset of the wood produced is used for each NCP. Biodiversity–NCP relationships therefore require further assessment.

The importance of wild meat and freshwater fish for children's nutritional intake in the Congo Basin

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat and freshwater fish are widely consumed in the Congo Basin, but in some areas, they are at risk of disappearing due to unsustainable hunting and fishing and changes in their habitat. Wild meat is also at risk of being eliminated from local diets due to potential policy changes such as wild meat bans.

How uneven access shapes the socio‐economic and environmental potential of game meat value chains: The case of legal game meat in Zambia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Game meat contributes to human nutrition, food security and sociocultural practices around the world. Game meat also comes with risks, including overharvesting and zoonotic and food‐borne disease. These may be pronounced where game meat travels along complex value chains from rural to urban areas.

Using participatory scenario planning to explore the synergies and trade‐offs from upland treescape expansion

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The future of land use in the UK uplands is highly debated, with growing interest in increasing tree cover and other land use changes, alongside a desire to maintain traditional land use patterns and practices. Treescape expansion is likely to result in synergies and trade‐offs between different outcomes, so integrating stakeholder preferences
