The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Humboldtia sanjappae bark extract evaluated for its anti‐inflammatory potential using in vivo paw edema models and in silico molecular docking. Bioactive flavonoids, particularly neoeriocitrin, showed strong interactions with TNF‐α, COX‐2, IL‐6, and IL‐1β, highlighting the extract's multi‐target anti‐inflammatory activity and therapeutic promise ...

Virus‐Induced Gene Silencing in Calendula officinalis (Pot Marigold)
ABSTRACT Virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a method that exploits plant antiviral defense mechanisms to downregulate endogenous genes. The technique is versatile, rapid, and widely used for functional genomics studies. Here, we report a method for VIGS in the medicinal plant, Calendula officinalis (pot marigold).

In 2D culture, the cirsimarin (i) decreased cell viability in both assays, (ii) induced apoptosis, (iii) reduced clonogenicity, (iv) prevented cell migration, (v) induced DNA damage, and (vi) negatively modulated gene expression. In the 3D model, reductions in spheroid viability, area, and cell migration were also observed.
