Anticancer Molecular Mechanisms of Phytosterols: An Updated Review on Clinical Trials
Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.Phytosterols, a form of naturally occurring substance structurally related to cholesterol, have been getting considerable interest due to their possible anticancer properties. Phytosterols induce apoptosis, block the cell cycle, and abrogate the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells, offering a multi‐manifestation treatment of cancer.

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Black oat, rye, and wheat cereals: kinetics and changes during hydrothermal processing
Acta Scientiarum. TechnologyThe grain hydration process is fundamental in cereal processing but can modify their physical and chemical properties. However, there is a gap in understanding the principles of mass transport (water) and its changes during the hydration phases, especially in rye, which has yet to be studied.

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 2, Page 296-312, February 2026.As West Africa urbanises, the risk of Lassa fever may paradoxically decrease. We found the invasive house mouse, a dominant urban species, outcompetes and displaces the primary Lassa virus host. Considering these species interactions is critical for accurately predicting future zoonotic disease patterns.
