Early matrine intervention of gut microbiota for type 2 diabetes prevention
iMetaOmics, EarlyView.How matrine influences gut microbiota imbalance to prevent the progression of diabetes remains unclear. We conduct experiments using mice to simulate the stages of diabetes development and matrine intervention. Combined with amplicon sequencing, we find that the gut microbiota of diabetic mice continuously changes with the progression of the disease ...

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and
