A Digestive Herbal Mixture Preparation Stimulates Proton Secretion in Human Parietal Cells through Phenolic Compounds Targeting Bitter Taste Receptors

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 6, 29 March 2026.
Polyphenol‐rich herbal extracts stimulate proton secretion in human parietal cells (HGT‐1) via activation of extra‐oral bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs). A commercially available herbal mixture preparation and its nine solvent extracts show concentration‐dependent effects correlating with total polyphenol content.

A Narrative Review on Unravelling Bacterial‐Mediated Carcinogenesis and Possible Alternative Treatment Strategies

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The potential roles of chemical, physical, and viral factors in cancer development are well documented. Similarly, bacterial carcinogenesis has been reported previously, though not extensively. Therefore, we aimed to provide comprehensive, mechanistic evidence on the pathogenesis of bacteria‐induced carcinogenesis and possible treatments to halt cancer
