Pedunculoside targets and suppresses CDK4; consequently, it activates the MAPK pathway and inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma progression. ABSTRACT Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major challenge in cancer prevention and treatment, highlighting the urgent need for effective and low‐toxicity anti‐HCC therapies. Recently, CDK4‐targeted inhibitors

Convergence and parallelism in the evolution of plant metabolism
Similar traits in different organisms may originate from shared ancestry or evolve independently. The terminology used to define phenotypic similarity is often confusing. This review attempts to clarify the definitions and present examples from plant domestication and specialized metabolism to explain how complex traits evolve repeatedly in plants ...
