Weather drivers of reproductive variability in perennial plants and their implications for climate change risks

Nature Communications
Seed production in perennial plants often shows strong year-to-year variation, a phenomenon known as masting. Masting is typically adaptive and driven by weather cues that synchronize reproduction by promoting or suppressing flowering and seed set. These

Dehydrocostus Lactone Suppresses Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Inhibiting Protein Tyrosine Kinase‐7 Mediated β‐Catenin Signaling

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Schematic summary of the experimentally supported mechanism of DHL in hepatocellular carcinoma. Dehydrocostus lactone (DHL), a sesquiterpene lactone derived from Aucklandia lappa, directly engages protein tyrosine kinase 7 (PTK7), as supported by molecular docking, CETSA, and DARTS assays.

Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Interactions Between Anti‐Asthma Drugs and Medicinal Plants: A Comprehensive Review

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Asthma affects 260–300 million people worldwide. About 20%–35% of patients use medicinal plants with their asthma medication, often without telling their clinicians. Disclosure rates are low; up to 42% of asthma outpatients use herbal products, with no records in their charts.

Potential of Ginkgo biloba Extract to Intervene in Chronic Inflammation‐Related Diseases

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Chronic inflammation is a pathological mechanism underpinning many diseases. Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) is well known for its anti‐inflammatory property. GBE and its active constituents have been shown to attenuate pro‐inflammatory cytokine production, suppress nuclear factor kappa B activation, restore redox homeostasis, and modulate disease‐relevant

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

Four‐dimensional immuno‐mechanobiomaterials: Dynamic material cues that program host response to prevent fibrosis and enable regeneration

VIEW, EarlyView.
Dynamic immuno‐mechanobiomaterials with time‐programmed mechanical adaptation orchestrate host responses through precise mechanotransduction and immune‐stromal regulation. These adaptive biomaterials minimize mechanical mismatch, attenuate the forign dy response and fibrosis, promote angiogenesis and controlled extracellular matrix remodeling, and ...

Hantavirus infections in Southeastern Europe – Epidemiology, outbreak dynamics, and One Health preparedness: A narrative review

Biomolecules & Biomedicine
Human-pathogenic orthohantaviruses are significant rodent-borne zoonotic pathogens in Europe. Southeastern Europe (SEE) is a distinct endemic region where Dobrava-Belgrade virus (DOBV) and Puumala virus (PUUV) co-circulate, causing hemorrhagic fever ...

Precipitation‐mediated asymmetric fitness consequences of nectar robbing in distylous Primula florindae

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Flowers with deep corollas are frequently associated with nectar robbing, a behaviour that often reduces pollen transfer and seed production. Robbing scars, however, may further affect plant reproductive success through rainwater entry into corolla tubes.

Drivers of Mouse Plagues: Exceptional Rainfall Following Prolonged Drought Triggers Mouse Plagues in Southeastern Australia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study identified a specific sequence of an extended drought followed by exceptional rainfall as a necessary precursor for mouse plagues in southeastern Australia. Long‐term rainfall anomalies interact with ecological processes to reset population dynamics, creating conditions that support rapid mouse population growth following periods of ...
