Investigation of the Efficacy of Orientin in Streptozotocin‐Induced Type 1 Diabetes Model and Pancreatic Beta‐TC6 Cells

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
Orientin, a natural flavonoid, protects against streptozotocin‐induced pancreatic β‐cell damage by suppressing NF‐κB–mediated inflammation, restoring antioxidant defense (SOD, CAT, GSH), and inhibiting apoptotic (Bax/Bcl‐2, Caspase‐3/9) and pyroptotic (Caspase‐1, IL‐1β) cell death pathways in both an in vivo type 1 diabetes mouse model and Beta‐TC6 ...

Landscape configuration and soil properties shape ant‐mediated seed dispersal in tropical dry forest agricultural landscapes

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1476-1487, August 2026.
We show that ant‐mediated seed dispersal components respond differently to local soil conditions and landscape structure in Caatinga agricultural mosaics. Low‐intensity rainfed croplands maintained or enhanced seed removal compared to natural remnants, highlighting how small‐scale agriculture can sustain key ecological processes in human‐modified dry ...

Carbon Stocks in Sugarcane Biomass and Their Implications on Land Use Change CO2 Balance in Brazil

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
This paper develops a regionalized carbon stock factor for sugarcane biomass in Brazil, showing that sugarcane cultivation can lead to net carbon removal in most municipalities. The findings improve greenhouse gas inventories and support bioenergy policies by providing more accurate, spatially resolved estimates for land use change emissions.
