Floristic composition and turnover analysis in Dahomey Gap and the surrounding sub‐humid Togolese mountain minor forest refuges: Importance for biogeography and biodiversity conservation in sub‐Saharan Africa

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022
The origin of the DG is one of the central biogeographical questions in sub‐Saharan Africa, which has been addressed in recent phylogenetic studies. Till date, no study based on large floristic data collected in the DG has addressed this question. Our work, based on large floristic data collected in the DG and compared with those of regional floras, is

Mechanistic Exploration of <i>Carpobrotus edulis</i> Metabolites in Type 2 Diabetes Intervention Through Integrated Computational Approaches. [PDF]

Biomed Res Int
Despite the reported antidiabetic potential of Carpobrotus edulis, there is still a dearth of information on its modulatory role on the genes and signaling pathways implicated in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study evaluated the gene–compound–pathways to lend scientific credence to the antidiabetic molecular mechanism of action of C.

An Update on Antitumor Efficacy of Catechins: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Applications. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
This article explores the potential of catechins, particularly (−)‐epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate (EGCG) as natural compounds with anticancer effects. Catechins, abundant in plants like green tea, have shown promise in modulating key processes in carcinogenesis, including apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and angiogenesis. The review emphasizes their potential
