Unlocking Kenya’s Pyrethrum Potential: A Breeding Review for a Competitive Future

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Pyrethrum (Tanacetum cinerariifolium) is a strategically important industrial crop underpinning the world supply of organic pesticides. Despite Kenya’s past dominance in global pyrethrum production, the genetic improvement of the crop has lagged. This has led to having varieties of low yields, variable pyrethrin content, susceptibility to biotic and ...

Commodity risk assessment of Petunia spp. and Calibrachoa spp. unrooted cuttings from Uganda

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to evaluate the likelihood of pest freedom at entry in the EU, including both regulated and non‐regulated pests, potentially associated with unrooted cuttings of the genera Petunia and Calibrachoa produced under physical isolation in Uganda.

Ecosystem services provided by spiders

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2217-2236, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Spiders, ubiquitous and abundant predators in terrestrial ecosystems, often are the subjects of an unjust negative perception. However, these remarkable creatures stand as unsung heroes within our ecosystems, contributing a multitude of ecosystem services critical to human well‐being.

The Safety of Nail Products: Health Threats in the Nail Industry

International Journal of Dermatology, Volume 64, Issue 8, Page 1382-1387, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The information on nail product safety is currently limited, but has been increasing in recent years. This increasing research has shown that some ingredients in nail products are hazardous and can lead to both dermatologic and systemic diseases. This risk is present for nail product consumers and is increased for nail technicians.

Critical Role of Skin in Pathogenesis: Bidirectional Crosstalk Between Skin and Multiple Organs

MedComm – Future Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
The skin functions as both a protective barrier and an autonomous immune organ, maintaining dynamic interactions with internal organs. This review analyzes skin‐organ crosstalk mechanisms, highlighting key cytokines (particularly IL‐17A) and microbial metabolites that mediate interorgan communication.

Exploring the Complex Mechanisms of Isoflavones: From Cell Bioavailability, to Cell Dynamics and Breast Cancer

Phytotherapy Research, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 957-979, February 2025.
Once ingested, the isoflavones contained in soy products undergo metabolism processes involving the intestinal microbiota and hepatic passage before reaching the body's cells. At the cellular level, isoflavones can bind to and activate estrogen receptors (ERs).

Rewilded horses in European nature conservation – a genetics, ethics, and welfare perspective

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 1, Page 407-427, February 2025.
ABSTRACT In recent decades, the integration of horses (Equus ferus) in European rewilding initiatives has gained widespread popularity due to their potential for regulating vegetation and restoring natural ecosystems. However, employing horses in conservation efforts presents important challenges, which we here explore and discuss.

Economic inequality, culture, and governance quality

Journal of Economic Surveys, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 375-402, February 2025.
Abstract We review work that has linked economic inequality and culture to governance quality. We start with contributions that have considered the relationship between inequality and governance from a long‐run perspective. This historical perspective yields a range of insights and helps identify the deep drivers of specific cultural traits that relate
