Inonotus obliquus Ameliorates Metabolic Dysfunction and Attenuates Obesity by Enriching Enterococcus casseliflavus

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
Inonotus obliquus mitigates obesity through the targeted enrichment of intestinal Enterococcus casseliflavus (EC). EC facilitates thermogenesis in adipose tissues, augments energy expenditure, enhances systemic metabolic homeostasis, and diminishes low‐grade inflammation.

Decoding Biothreats With FT‐ICR‐MS: Metabotyping of Bacillus cereus Spores Through Untargeted Metabolomics

Journal of Mass Spectrometry, Volume 61, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Genome sequencing is the gold standard for microbial identification. However, it fails to distinguish closely related species with overlapping genetic features. This is the case of Bacillus cereus and Bacillus cytotoxicus, two members of the B. cereus group with distinct pathogenic profiles. While B. cereus, a well‐known opportunistic pathogen

RNA interference in crop protection: opportunities and challenges during the transition to commercialization

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 5971-5986, July 2026.
RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.

In Vitro Biological Activities of Piper corcovadensis C.DC.: Antioxidant, Antineoplastic‐Related and Antibacterial Effects

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
Piper corcovadensis extract is rich in bioactive compounds with antioxidant potential, capable of decreasing ROS levels; antitumor activity in cutaneous melanoma cells SK‐MEL‐28; and anti‐inflammatory activity, decreasing the expression of IL‐6 and NLPR3 genes and increasing TNF expression, without cytotoxicity to healthy peripheral blood cells (PBMCs).
