SGLT2i in heart failure: Cardiorenal mechanisms, clinical evidence and translational perspectives

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
SGLT2 inhibitors improve heart failure outcomes through integrated cardiorenal mechanisms. In the kidney, they reduce glucose and sodium reabsorption, promoting natriuresis, osmotic diuresis and renal protection. In the heart, they enhance myocardial energetics, reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, fibrosis and adverse remodelling, resulting in fewer

Tirzepatide and SGLT2 Inhibitors for Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction and Obesity: Entering a New Cardiometabolic Therapeutic Era

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
Tirzepatide and SGLT2 inhibitors act through distinct but complementary mechanisms in obesity‐related HFpEF: tirzepatide targets adiposity, inflammation, and insulin resistance, while SGLT2 inhibitors improve decongestion, myocardial energetics, and cardiac remodeling.

Effect of Endophytic Fungi on Thrips tabaci Development and Population Dynamics

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1102-1114, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are promising biocontrol agents because they colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically while inducing systemic resistance that negatively affects herbivorous insects. We investigated whether treatments with the endophytes Trichoderma harzianum and Beauveria bassiana in two onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.; Sturon and Red ...
