Plant-Based Food Preferences Rich in Polyphenols and Their Causal Effects on Inflammatory Bowel Disease. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrThis Mendelian randomization study investigated causal relationships between polyphenol‐rich plant food preferences and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) risk using genome‐wide association study data. Six dietary preferences were significantly associated with IBD risk.

Herbivory reduces plant interactions with above- and belowground antagonists and mutualists. [PDF]
, 2012 Herbivores affect plants through direct effects, such as tissue damage, and through indirect effects that alter species interactions. Interactions may be positive or negative, so indirect effects have the potential to enhance or lessen the net impacts of

Cucurbitacin E Targets Proliferating Endothelia
Journal of Surgical Research, 1997 Tumor vasculature offers a target for drugs directed against proliferating endothelia. We hypothesized that cucurbitacin E (CuE), an actin-disrupting agent, would preferentially inhibit proliferating vs. quiescent endothelia. Log-phase and confluent ECV304 and HUVEC human endothelial cells were exposed to 10-200 nM CuE for 1-96 hr, and toxicity was ...
