Analysis of the Differentially Expressed Proteins and Metabolic Pathways of Honeybush (Cyclopia subternata) in Response to Water Deficit Stress [PDF]
Honeybush (Cyclopia spp.) is a rich source of antioxidant properties and phenolic compounds. Water availability plays a crucial role in plant metabolic processes, and it contributes to overall quality.

A Rare Case Report on Holoprosencephaly With Cyclopia: Jimma University Medical Center, Ethiopia. [PDF]
Background Holoprosencephaly is a congenital brain malformation resulting from incomplete division of the forebrain (prosencephalon) into two hemispheres during early embryonic development, typically during the 4th–6th week of gestation. Cyclopia is a rare and fatal form of holoprosencephaly characterized by severe craniofacial abnormalities resulting ...

Ophthalmologic Findings in an Induced Model of Holoprosencephaly in Zebrafish. [PDF]
We used a zebrafish (Danio rerio) model to variably induce bmp4 during embryonic development. We show ophthalmologic phenotypes of variable severity depending on the length and onset of bmp4 inductions. We find phenotypes like ocular hypotelorism, synophthalmia, cyclopia, and anophthalmia, which are described to be part of the HPE spectrum.

The Sensory and Physicochemical Properties of Honeybush Tea Depend on the Brewing Water: A Preliminary Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study investigated how different water types affected honeybush (Cyclopia species) tea quality. Water types, varying in physicochemical properties, were used to brew tea from three honeybush species: C. intermedia, C. subternata, and C. genistoides (n = 6/species).

Interactions between the bone morphogenetic protein and the planar cell polarity pathways lead to distinctive ethanol-induced facial defects. [PDF]
Gene–ethanol interactions lie at the heart of FASD. However, the relationship between ethanol‐sensitive genes and the timing and duration of exposure is not well‐understood. Using morphometric and multivariate analyses in zebrafish, vangl2 and gpc4 mutants are ethanol‐sensitive from 10 to 24 h postfertilization, not before or after, leading to facial ...

Sonographic diagnosis of fetal eye anomalies and their association with syndromal diseases: A retrospective multicenter analysis of 264 cases. [PDF]
Finding ocular abnormalities in fetal scans should lead to an exhaustive exploration of the fetus. Including evaluation of the fetal eye in standard first and second‐trimester ultrasound protocols should be assessed. Abstract Introduction This study aims to systematically describe eye malformations and correlate these with extraocular findings.

Autophagy-induced cell death by aqueous and polyphenol-enriched extracts of honeybush (Cyclopia spp.) in liver and colon cancer cells. [PDF]
Aqueous extracts of honeybush have been found to decrease cell viability and hinder cell proliferation in HepG2 and HT‐29 cells. While they did not affect apoptosis, they induced autophagy in both cancer cell lines. Similarly, honeybush polyphenols, mangiferin, and hesperidin, when in pure form, also diminished cell viability and impeded cell ...

Cyclopia: A Rare Congenital Anomaly
Cyclopia is the most extreme form of holoprosencephaly. It is characterized by the failure of the embryonic prosencephalon to properly divide the orbits of the eye into two cavities which results in babies with a single or partially divided eye in a ...
