Polar Lipid and Fatty Acid Profiles of Oat Groats Substantially Influenced by Field Management: A Comparison of Cultivars, Sowing Times and Fertilizer Composition

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The polar lipids in oat grains are crucial due to their biological functions, nutritional quality, potential use in food flavour and processing, the protection they provide against biotic and abiotic stresses, and their ability to act as cellular signalling molecules.

Tapetal Expression of BnaC.MAGL8.a Causes Male Sterility in Arabidopsis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) hydrolyzes monoacylglycerol, producing free fatty acid and glycerol. Although this enzyme has been shown to play important roles in mammal, its potential function in plants remains poorly understood. In a survey of the MAGL

Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Cannabidiol in Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma: An Integrated Computational and Experimental Study

International Journal of Quantum Chemistry, Volume 126, Issue 5, March 5, 2026.
Cannabidiol (CBD) exhibits increased reactivity, stronger CB1 receptor binding, and enhanced cytotoxicity against A431 squamous carcinoma cells compared to 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU). Integrated DFT, molecular docking, and experimental analyses demonstrate CBD's improved stability and binding affinity, highlighting its potential as an alternative ...

Phloretin Suppresses Preadipocyte Differentiation by Targeting PPARγ/Transferrin to Activate Ferroptosis Signaling Pathway

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Phloretin alleviates HFD‐induced obesity and suppresses adipogenesis by activating the ferroptosis pathway, potentially via targeting PPARγ and transferrin. ABSTRACT Phloretin, a plant‐derived dihydrochalcone bioactive compound, potentially modulates preadipocyte differentiation, although this remains controversial and requires further clarification ...

Obesity and Natural Products: Mechanisms, Therapeutic Potential, and Future Directions

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Natural products such as EGCG, berberine, curcumin, and capsaicin modulate key metabolic pathways including AMPK activation, adipogenesis inhibition, and inflammatory signaling. While clinical trials demonstrate modest benefits on body weight and metabolic parameters, translational challenges related to bioavailability, dose feasibility, and regulatory

Mechanisms of spinal glial activation in chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy: Focus on microglia and astrocytes

Ibrain, Volume 12, Issue 1, Page 65-85, Spring 2026.
Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) remains a major clinical challenge, with central sensitization considered an important pathological mechanism in its occurrence and persistence. This review focuses on spinal astrocytes and microglia, systematically summarizing the pathological mechanisms of spinal glial cells involved in CIPN caused by

Understanding the dynamic nature of plant lipid anabolic and catabolic metabolism is key to sustainable oilseed engineering

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2196-2214, March 2026.
Summary Plant‐derived oils are essential sources of reduced carbon and various fatty acid (FA) structures for food, biofuels, and the oleochemical industry. Despite extensive efforts, engineering mainstream oilseed crops to produce high levels of industrially valuable unusual FAs (UFAs) remains challenging.

Unraveling Endocannabinoid Signaling Pathways in Cisplatin‐Induced Ototoxicity

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
We performed a comprehensive molecular profiling of the endocannabinoid (eCB) system (ECS) in an auditory Hair cell (HC)‐like cell line (1). Afterwards, we developed suitable in vitro and in vivo models of cisplatin‐induced ototoxicity where we identified distinct components of the ECS (CB2R, DAGLβ and ABHD6) as molecular targets of the drug (2 ...
