Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 861-872, August 2025.Novel cardenolide defences co‐vary with other defences among leaves of Erysimum cheiranthoides, but while caterpillars avoid well‐defended leaves, cardenolides alone cannot explain herbivore behaviour. Abstract Plants invest a substantial fraction of their resources into defence against herbivores, with the highest levels of defence often allocated ...

ZZE-Configuration of chromophore ß-153 in C-phycocyanin from Mastigocladus laminosus [PDF]
, 1987 The photochemistry of C-phycocyanin has been studied after denaturation in the dark. It shows an irreversible reaction which has characteristics of a Ζ,Ζ,Ε- to Z,Z,Z-isomerization of dihydrobilins. Its amplitude depends on the reaction conditions, with

Transforming Growth Factor‐β Pathway: Biological Functions and Therapeutic Targets
MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2025.Natural compounds modulate the TGF‐β pathway, which acts as both a tumor suppressor and promoter during cancer progression. Agents such as ginsenosides, halofuginone, and EGCG influence cell proliferation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. These bioactive molecules may complement standard therapies, highlighting the need for advanced formulations ...

Poison, plants and Palaeolithic hunters. An analytical method to investigate the presence of plant poison on archaeological artefacts [PDF]
, 2015 In this paper we present the development of a method for the detection of toxic substances on ancient arrow points. The aim is to go back in time until the Palaeolithic period in order to determine if poisonous substances were used to enhance the hunting

Cardiac Glycosides in Human Physiology and Disease: Update for Entomologists
Insects, 2019 Cardiac glycosides, cardenolides and bufadienolides, are elaborated by several plant or animal species to prevent grazing or predation. Entomologists have characterized several insect species that have evolved the ability to sequester these glycosides in
