Hibiscus flower extract selectively induces apoptosis in breast cancer cells and positively interacts with common chemotherapeutics

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2019
Background Current therapeutic approaches to treat metastatic breast cancer, although effective, have shown many inadvertent side effects such as genotoxicity due to a lack of selectivity. Thus, these treatment plans are not suitable for long-term usage.

Contrasting Dispersal Histories Shape Distinct Evolutionary Trajectories Between Malesian and Pantropical Talipariti (Malvaceae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Talipariti (Malvaceae) comprises two lineages with contrasting geographic ranges across Malesia: a pantropical sea hibiscus group and a Papuan group restricted to New Guinea and adjacent islands. Using phylogenomics, divergence‐time estimation, and quantitative biogeographical modelling applied to herbarium‐derived genomic data, we demonstrate that the

Isolation of Kombucha Microorganisms for Application in Perilla Beverage Fermentation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Five commercial kombucha samples from Vietnam were screened, yielding 37 isolates (22 AAB, 6 LAB, 9 yeasts). Three representative strains—Komagataeibacter saccharivorans, Levilactobacillus brevis, and Wickerhamomyces anomalus—were identified and combined into a defined starter consortium (yeast: AAB: LAB = 2:2:1).
