Structural Elucidation and Engineering of the (S)‐scoulerine 2‐O‐Methyltransferase Enabling Regioselective Epiberberine Biosynthesis in Coptis chinensis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4528-4545, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Protoberberine alkaloids are a characteristic group of natural products in Coptis plants known for their notable pharmacological activities. However, the structural similarity and the substrate promiscuity of their biosynthetic enzymes have left the precise synthetic pathways remain unclarified, posing challenges to regulate product formation.

Liensinine Ameliorating Oxidative Damage to Vascular Endothelium In Vitro via Upregulating eNOS and Nrf2/HO‐1 Signaling

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
The present studies of network pharmacology, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation indicated that liensinine might ameliorate oxidative damage to vascular endothelium (ODVE) by regulating the targets of Nrf2, which is encoded by the NFE2L2 gene. Then the in vitro study further showed that liensinine exhibited an obvious protection against

Combining the Pitcher and Lotus Plant: Supericephobic and Superhydrophobic Silicone Films

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 23, 23 April 2026.
Based on bench‐top nanomolding of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with optimized silicone oil content, we developed hierarchically structured silicone films by essentially combining the properties of the lotus and pitcher plant; particularly we are able to achieve water contact angle as high as 171° and ice adhesion strength as low as 11.5 kPa (i.e ...
