Harnessing Natural Compounds in Psoriasis: Targeting Cellular Pathways for Effective Therapy

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Natural compounds act on key cellular pathways in psoriasis by suppressing keratinocyte hyperproliferation, modulating Th17/IL‐17‐mediated immune responses, and reducing oxidative stress. These multi‐target effects highlight their potential as safer adjunctive therapies alongside conventional treatments.

Vegetational Characteristics in Natural Habitat and Population Structure of the Endangered Plant Tigridiopalma Genus

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
First comprehensive ecological assessment of the endangered genus Tigridiopalma, covering two China endemic Plant Species with Extremely Small Populations (PSESP), T. magnifica and the newly described T. exalata. T. magnifica exhibits broader habitat diversity and understory resilience, while T.

Studies on cytotoxic constituents in pericarps of Mallotus japonicus. IV.

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1990
Two new phloroglucinol derivatives, isomallotolerin (1) and isomallotochromanol (2), were isolated from the cytotoxic fraction of the pericarps of Mallotus japonicus. The new derivatives were identified as 3-(3-methyl-2-hydroxybut-3-enyl)-5-(3-acetyl-2,4-dihydroxy-5-methy l-6- methoxybenzyl)-phlorisobutyrophenone (1) and 6-acetyl-5,7-dihydroxy-8-(3 ...

The glandular hairs within the floral tube of Paederia foetida (Rubiaceae) and their influence on ant accessibility

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
The glandular hairs in the floral tube of Paederia foetida has an effect on an ant's ability to enter a flower. Our results showed that trimming the glandular hairs increased the success rate of ants entering the floral tube. Abstract Hairs that grow on plant organs have been shown to play a variety of roles. Paederia foetida (Rubiaceae) is a perennial

Immunomodulatory Effects of Mallotus japonicus Extract on Innate Immune Responses in HeteroTilapia buttikoferi Infected with Aeromonas hydrophila

The Microbe
The intensive use of antibiotics in modern aquaculture has been linked to the emergence of multidrug resistance in human health. Despite continuous caution against such use by farmers, antibiotics serve as the primary means of disease control in ...

Across 33 broad‐leaved deciduous woody species, silicon enhances leaf lamina stiffness but not tensile strength whereas cellulose enhances both

New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 5, Page 2075-2083, June 2025.
Summary Silicon (Si) has been hypothesized to be a metabolically cheaper substitute for carbon‐based cell wall components to support leaves. However, how the biomechanical function of Si, deposited as amorphous silica, differs from cell wall components remains untested. Here, we tested the hypothesis that species with higher leaf Si concentrations have

Evaluating the origin and spread of spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) in Japan

Population Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 162-179, April 2025.
The invasive spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is native to China and is a serious economic pest in the Republic of Korea and the United States, though it is not considered a pest in Japan. We established a distribution map of L. delicatula in Japan through a comprehensive review of published literature and citizen science reports and analyzed ...

Xylan deposition and lignification in the multi-layered cell walls of phloem fibres in Mallotus japonicus (Euphorbiaceae) [PDF]

Tree Physiology, 2014
Phloem fibres in Mallotus japonicus Müll. Arg. were found to have a multi-layered structure that is S1 + S2 + n(G + L), where a non-lignified gelatinous layer (G) and a lignified layer (L) are formed alternately and n indicates the number of repetitions of these two layers.

Not only transitions in nutritional modes but also niche shifts facilitate mycorrhizal fungal specialization in Burmannia

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 209-225, January 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mycoheterotrophs are non‐photosynthetic plants that obtain all of their carbon requirements through parasitizing mycorrhizal fungi. They originated from the autotrophic ancestors and usually have more specific relationships with fungi than that of green plants, for ...
