Stem anatomy and ontogeny of vascular variants in Ipomoea asarifolia (Desr.) Roem. & Schult. (Convolvulaceae)

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
An increase in stem thickness and ontogeny of successive cambia, intraxylary cambium, and inter‐and intraxylary phloem is elaborated for the first time in Ipomoea asarifolia (Desr.) Roem. & Schult. (Convolvulaceae). As the plants grew older, several small segments of cambium were initiated simultaneously external to the phloem formed by regular ...

Exploring the Cancer Therapeutic Potential of Traditional Medicinal Plants by Modulating the Apoptotic Pathway

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Introduction Cancer is a versatile disease with a high rate of relapse and mortality. Despite the presence of various treatment modalities, there is a serious need for the development of its management. Phytochemicals, which are abundant in nature, can be turned into novel medications for these types of diseases by optimizing their functions and ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Anti‐Inflammatory and Immunomodulatory Activities of Key Phytochemicals: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesJournal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Phytochemicals derived from medicinal plants represent a rich and largely underexploited source of anti‐inflammatory and immunomodulatory agents. Chronic inflammation and dysregulated immune responses underpin many tropical and global diseases, including infectious, autoimmune, and metabolic disorders. This review examines the spectrum of plant‐derived

Pharmacophagy in insects: Ecological and evolutionary perspectives on the non‐nutritional use of plant specialized metabolites

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 661-673, July 2025.
Insects interact with plants not only for nutrition but also to actively seek plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) for chemical defense, reproduction, and self‐medication—a behavior known as pharmacophagy. This review examines how insects across diverse orders acquire PSMs from both food and non‐food plants for non‐nutritional benefits.

Context dependence of grassland plant response to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: The influence of plant successional status and soil resources

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 6, Page 1397-1408, June 2025.
Overall greater responsiveness to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi by late successional species is consistent with an important role of AM fungi in plant succession, even while AM fungi are less impactful overall in high P soils. However, the increase in responsiveness of below‐ground allocation of late successional species to AM fungi in low water ...

Natural products targeting tumour angiogenesis

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 10, Page 2094-2136, May 2025.
Abstract Tumour angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels to support the growth of a tumour. This process is critical for tumour progression and metastasis, making it an attractive approach to cancer therapy. Natural products derived from plants, animals or microorganisms exert anti‐angiogenic properties and can be used to inhibit tumour ...

Preferred nectar sources for the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus plexippus) along the Great Plains migration pathway

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Population declines of the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus plexippus) in North America have largely been attributed to the distribution and condition of species‐specific preferred nectar sources. In 2020, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) listed the monarch butterfly in the US Federal Register as a candidate species under the ...
