South African Herbal Teas and Diabetes‐Mediated Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Emerging Evidence and Mechanistic Insights

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a central component of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and is associated with underlying mitochondrial dysfunction. Disruption of mitochondrial homeostasis impairs cellular energy metabolism and contributes to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress, chronic inflammation,

Decoding chilling temperature adaptation in bermudagrass: Temporal transcriptomic and metabolomic dynamics in tolerant and sensitive genotypes

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Chilling tolerance, expressed as late‐season green color retention, is a critical trait for extending the utility of bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) into the southern states. While previous studies have focused on rapid responses within 12–24 h of cold exposure, the temporal progression of molecular and metabolic adjustments over several days ...

Anticancer effects of D-pinitol in human oral squamous carcinoma cells

International Journal of Oral Biology, 2020
D-pinitol is an analog of 3-methoxy-D-chiro-inositol found in beans and plants. D-pinitol has anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and anticancer effects. Additionally, D-pinitol induces apoptosis and inhibits metastasis in breast and prostate cancers. However, to date, no study has investigated the anticancer effects of D-pinitol in oral cancer. Therefore,

Unlocking the Quality Potential of Liberoid Coffee: Advances in Composition, Processing, and Microbial Fermentation

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Liberoid coffee (Coffea liberica group), comprising varieties of Liberica and Excelsa coffee types, is gaining attention for its unique chemical composition and sensory potential. However, its quality remains under‐optimized due to limited understanding of genotype‐specific traits and processing responses.
