Reduction in Pathogenicity in Yeast-like Fungi by Farnesol in Quail Model
Candida albicans was the first eukaryotic microorganism to exhibit quorum-sensing through the secretion of the sesquiterpene E, farnesol. This molecule is generated by dephosphorylation of farnesyl pyrophosphate in the mevalonate biosynthetic pathway in ...

Preparation, characterization, and evaluation of the antimicrobial effects of farnesol- and tyrosol-bearing nanoniosomes on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli [PDF]
Background. Recently, it has been found that tyrosol and farnesol can replace antibiotics due to their known antimicrobial and medicinal effects.

Restoration of the Phenotype of Dedifferentiated Rabbit Chondrocytes by Sesquiterpene Farnesol
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disorder characterized by the progressive degeneration of articular cartilage. The phenotype and metabolism behavior of chondrocytes plays crucial roles in maintaining articular cartilage function.

LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus
The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, can trigger large‐scale outbreaks when encountering suitable habitats during migration due to their strong reproductive ability. This study investigated the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating SBPH reproduction.
