Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL)-Antioxidant Biflavonoids from Garcinia madruno [PDF]
Six biflavonoids were isolated from G. madruno, one of which, 7''-O-(6''''-acetyl)-glucoside of morelloflavone, is a new compound identified on the basis of 1D, 2D NMR (HMQC and HMBC) spectroscopic methods and chemical ...

Large differences in leaf cuticle conductance and its temperature response among 24 tropical tree species from across a rainfall gradient. [PDF]
Summary More frequent droughts and rising temperatures pose serious threats to tropical forests. When stomata are closed under dry and hot conditions, plants lose water through leaf cuticles, but little is known about cuticle conductance (gmin) of tropical trees, how it varies among species and environments, and how it is affected by temperature.

Natural Biflavonoids Modulate Macrophage–Oxidized LDL Interaction In Vitro and Promote Atheroprotection In Vivo [PDF]
The accumulation of oxidized ApoB-100-containing lipoproteins in the vascular intima and its subsequent recognition by macrophages results in foam cell formation and inflammation, key events during atherosclerosis development.

Unlocking Tropical Forest Complexity: How Tree Assemblages in Secondary Forests Boost Biodiversity Conservation. [PDF]
Secondary forests are crucial for achieving COP15/16 conservation goals. An operational national approach was developed to identify and characterise forest ecosystems based on the dominant tree species in the canopy, serving as indicators for ecosystem extent and condition.

Stomatal Decoupling From Photosynthesis Under High Temperatures Is Consistent With Stomatal Optimisation. [PDF]
Many leaf gas exchange models predict that photosynthesis and stomatal conductance are tightly coupled and respond in parallel to changing environmental conditions. However, experiments show that when temperatures increase beyond the thermal optimum of photosynthesis, stomatal conductance may continue to rise while photosynthesis declines, facilitating

and Activity of Biflavonoids From Against Mpox Virus
Aim Although current human transmission of monkeypox virus (MPXV) remains low, therapeutic options are limited. Biflavonoids, known for their antiviral properties, were evaluated in vitro and in silico against MPXV.
