Switchgrass Steroidal Saponins Reduce Fungal Disease but Decrease Yeast Fermentation Yield

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
Yeast fermentation of switchgrass biomass is inhibited for certain genotypes, especially those with high concentrations of steroidal saponins that protect against fungal disease. Inhibition can be reversed through (1) ergosterol addition, (2) fermentation with the bacterium Zymonomas mobilis, or (3) in different collection years.

Mechanism and role of regulated cell death in tumor immunity and immunotherapy

Cancer Communications, Volume 45, Issue 11, Page 1456-1495, November 2025.
Abstract Cancer immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have brought breakthroughs, but only about one‐third of cancer patients benefit from ICIs. In recent years, targeting non‐apoptotic regulated cell death (RCD) subtypes, such as ferroptosis, necroptosis, autophagy, cuproptosis, and pyroptosis, has emerged as a novel strategy in cancer therapy due to ...
