Enhancement of Morpho‐Physiological, Physiological, and Antioxidant Capacity of Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) Under Water Deficit Using ZnO Nanoparticles and Magnesium Sulfate: Implications for Saffron Yield

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ZnO nanoparticles and MgSO4 synergistically alleviated drought‐induced damage in saffron. Foliar application improved relative water content and antioxidant enzyme activity. Photosynthetic performance and membrane stability were enhanced under water deficit. Moderate drought combined with ZnO‐NPs and MgSO4 maximized saffron productivity. ABSTRACT Water

Hydrogen Sulfide Delivery in Sulfurous Thermal Waters: Saturnia as a Translational Model for Gasotransmitter Pharmacology—A Narrative Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenous gasotransmitter regulating redox balance, inflammation, and vascular tone, but reproducing the spatial and kinetic features of endogenous production remains challenging. We examine sulfurous thermal waters as natural contexts of sustained H2S exposure, using the Saturnia springs (Tuscany ...

Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 8, Page 2599-2622, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

Adsorption of Tetracycline and Congo Red by a Nitrogen and Sulfur Co‐Doped Crab Shell‐Derived Biochar (BC‐N/S): Mechanism and Estimated Cost

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 30, 10 August 2026.
A nitrogen–sulfur co‐doped crab shell‐derived biochar (BC‐N/S) was prepared through a facile one‐pot synthesis. BC‐N/S showed improved surface area (13.462 m2g−1) and enhanced pore width. The BC‐N/S adsorbent displayed 100% preferential adsorption efficiency for Congo red compared to tetracycline (96.47%) in binary solution.
