Diosgenin Alleviates Age‐Related Sarcopenia by Promoting Satellite Cell Proliferation and Myogenic Differentiation via Activation of the SIRT1/PGC‐1α Signaling Pathway

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 8, August 2026.
As a critical bioactive component of Polygonatum sibiricum, diosgenin improves age‐related declines in skeletal muscle mass and function by activating the SIRT1/PGC‐1α pathway, upregulating the expression of the myokine METRNL and IGF‐1, and promoting satellite cell proliferation and myogenic differentiation.

Annealing‐Induced Modifications in Yam Starches: Implications for Fermented Yam Flour (Elubo) and Textural Quality of Named Indigenous Yam Food Product—Amala

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Processing yam tubers into elubo (fermented yam flour) induces starch annealing, which modifies starch functionality and pasting behavior. These changes significantly influence the textural quality of amala prepared from 55 varieties of two Dioscorea species (D. alata and D. rotundata).
