Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster as Model Organisms in Biofactor Research

BioFactors, Volume 52, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
This review presents Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster as powerful and ethically sound invertebrate model organisms that can be used to investigate nutritional science questions relating to biofactors. Such nutritional phenotyping studies can bridge the gap between in vitro studies and in vivo research in mammals.

Biological Evaluation of Curcumin and Related Diarylheptanoids

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 2006
Abstract Nine derivatives of three natural diarylheptanoids, curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin, were prepared. Their antioxidant, free radical scavenging, nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory and cytotoxic activities were evaluated and compared with those of the respective natural compounds. Curcumin (1), demethoxycurcumin (2),

Dietary Polyphenols as Natural Modulators of NF‐κB Signaling in Inflammation‐Driven Non‐Communicable Diseases: Focus on Cancer

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Dietary polyphenols and phytochemicals suppress NF‐κB signaling. Mechanistically, by inhibiting IκBα degradation and preventing nuclear translocation of p65/p50 complexes, the polyphenols reduce the expression of pro‐inflammatory and pro‐survival genes, thereby decreasing overall cancer cell survival.

Phytochemicals in MASLD: A Focused Review of Gut Microbiome‐Linked Mechanisms

Phytotherapy Research, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 4041-4055, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has emerged as a major global health burden, yet effective pharmacological options remain limited. Recent advances highlight the gut microbiome as a key modulator of liver metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis, making it a promising therapeutic target.
