Rhododendron diversity patterns provide new insights for conserving China's montane flora

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Integrating distribution, phylogenetic, and functional trait data for 603 Rhododendron species in China identified significant conservation hotspots of multidimensional diversity, particularly in the Hengduan Mountains. Climate seasonality and topographic heterogeneity jointly influenced these patterns; however, notable conservation gaps remained ...

Effects of post‐fire on seed germination and seedling recruitment of a generalist savanna woody species

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Vegetation type and microclimate shape recruitment of a generalist tree seedling, while fire history alters cotyledon use over time. Abstract Temperature and humidity are key factors influencing seed germination, varying across vegetation types and in response to disturbances such as fire.

Mechanisms of Gui Zhi Fu Ling Formula in Liver Fibrosis: Metabolomics and Gut Microbiota Analysis

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Our study was based on the efficacy of the phenotype in an animal model and used multi‐omics to explore the mechanism of action of the compound. We found that Gui Zhi Fu Ling Formula may ameliorate hepatic fibrosis potentially associated with increased hepatic EPA and the expression of gut Pseudomonas.

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 221-245, June 2026.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

Cryptocaryone Exhibits ROS/MAPK‐Dependent Antiproliferative and Apoptosis‐Inducing Effects on Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer Cells and Proof‐of‐Concept Breast Cancer Mouse Model

Drug Development Research, Volume 87, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Omics’ technologies have enabled clinicians to gain previously unprecedented insights into the molecular complexity and clinical heterogeneity of triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC). Increasingly it is being realized that TNBC does not respond well to current targeted therapies.
