Food plant diversity in a rapidly changing world

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Diversity in food plants is essential to human and planetary health. On farms, in diets, and in many other areas of food systems, this diversity has undergone enormous change globally, including significant decline. We describe major trends in how food plant diversity has been changing, note the responses from conservation communities, highlight gaps ...

Catechins and Their Effect on the Gut Microbiome in Health and Cancer

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Catechins are a group of flavonoids found primarily in green tea, fruits, and berries; they play a significant role in the modulation of the gut microbiota, thereby having an impact on gut health and cancer prevention. Owing to their low bioavailability, catechins are transformed by the gut microbiota into various bioactive metabolites such as

Toll‐Like Receptor 4 Signaling in Natural N‐Acylethanolamines and Derivative NAE‐Like Compounds: Mechanisms and Implications for Neuroimmune and Inflammatory Processes in a Systematic Search Approach

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT N‐acylethanolamines (NAEs) are endogenous fatty acid amides structurally related to the endocannabinoid anandamide and function as bioactive lipid mediators with broad regulatory roles in inflammation and neuroinflammation. Among pattern‐recognition receptors, Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) occupies a central position in innate immune ...

Camels as a Climate‐Resilient Linchpin for Sustainable Development in Global Drylands

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Camels represent a significant, yet underutilized, asset for advancing integrated sustainable development in the world's expanding drylands. Previous reviews have examined camels' physiology, milk composition, or pastoral systems in isolation; this review examines their potential as a climate‐resilient linchpin for food systems by synthesizing
