Multi‐Omics Evidence Linking Gualou Xiebai Banxia Decoction Intervention to Atherosclerosis Mitigation and Gut Microbiota–Bile Acid Signatures in ApoE−/− Mice

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Gualou Xiebai Banxia Decoction (GXBD) promotes atherosclerotic plaque stabilization via the “gut microbiota—bile acid—host” axis. GXBD treatment remodels the gut microbiota, promoting the production of secondary bile acids (11‐LCA and 23‐DCA).

Molecular Simulations of Polymer‐based Drug Nanocarriers: From Physical and Structural Properties to Controlled Release

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 4, 26 January 2026.
Polymer‐based drug delivery systems can effectively overcome the limitations of free drugs in terms of solubility, stability, and plasma half‐life, yet their development has traditionally relied on time‐consuming trial‐and‐error approaches. This review highlights recent advances in applying molecular simulation to the design of polymer‐based drug ...

Variation in Herbivory-induced Volatiles Among Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Varieties has Consequences for the Attraction of Carnivorous Natural Enemies [PDF]

, 2011
In response to herbivory by arthropods, plants emit herbivory-induced volatiles that attract carnivorous enemies of the inducing herbivores. Here, we compared the attractiveness of eight cucumber varieties (Cucumis sativus L.) to Phytoseiulus persimilis ...
