Exploration of the Phytochemical and Antidiabetic Properties of Teucrium polium: A Natural Asset for Type 2 Diabetes Management

open access: yesChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Teucrium polium shows antidiabetic activity with its phytochemical composition and biological activities. The essential oil is rich in carvacrol, thymol, γ‐terpinene, and o‐cymene, while the aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts are characterized by poliumoside, verbascoside, isorhamnetin‐3‐O‐rutinoside, and apigenin‐7‐rutinoside. Antioxidant activity is

Synthesis of Poly(Itaconate)s With High Monomer Conversion Applying Emulsion Polymerization

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1284-1296, 15 March 2025.
Itaconic acid and its derivatives are a promising and bio‐based substitute for oil‐based polymers such as acrylates. In this study, the optimization of polymerization of itaconic acid esters is described by applying emulsion polymerization leading to high reaction conversions and low residual monomer contents. ABSTRACT Itaconic acid and its derivatives

Prospective of indigenous African wild food plants in alleviation of the severe iron deficiency anaemia in Sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Iron deficiency anaemia remains a major public health challenge in Sub‐Saharan Africa, where population growth, displacement and limited resources heighten nutritional insecurity. We compiled a list of indigenous African underutilized wild food plants and examined their potential for addressing micronutrient deficiencies.

Novel applications of the tomato microbiome: Roles and considerations for agriculture, human health, and society

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

Structure and Mechanism of PhdC, a Prenylated‐Flavin Maturase

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prenylated flavin mononucleotide (prFMN) is a modified flavin cofactor required by the UbiD family of (de)carboxylase enzymes. While the reduced prFMNH2 form is produced by the flavin prenyltransferase UbiX, the corresponding two‐electron oxidized prFMNiminium form is required to support UbiD catalysis. Thus, oxidative maturation of prFMNH2 is

Meteorological conditions leading to a catastrophic, rain‐induced landslide in Cameroon in October 2019

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
October 2019 was characterized by three main multiday wet spells in Bafoussam and Dschang. Our results indicated that wet spells were influenced by a vortex pair near the Gulf of Guinea, a strong Sahara Heat Low located anomalously far east and north, a northward shift of the intertropical discontinuity, an enhancement of the inland penetration of the ...

Dynamics and model representation of two contrasting extreme precipitation events in the Sahel

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Hovmöller diagrams of the two investigated extreme precipitation events in Mali are shown for (i) IMERG observations, and ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic model (ICON) runs with parameterization of explicit convection (ii) enabled and (iii) disabled. This work highlights that the commonly perceived benefit of using explicit convection in a state‐of‐the‐art ...
