Bioactive polysaccharides and their potential health benefits in reducing the risks of metabolic syndrome: A review

Food Biomacromolecules, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 288-314, September 2025.
Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex noncommunicable condition characterized by central obesity, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia. Epidemiological evidence shows that MetS affects a third of the global population; however, due to its complex pathogenesis and limited drug therapy options, the increasing ...

Association Between Traditional Chinese Medicine Use and Sepsis Risk and Glucocorticoid Exposure in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Retrospective Cohort Study

International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Sepsis greatly increases morbidity and mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Conventional treatments, particularly glucocorticoids (GCs), raise infection risk. This retrospective cohort study aims to investigate the association of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) use with sepsis incidence, mortality, and GC ...

A new spin on chemotaxonomy: Using non‐proteogenic amino acids as a test case

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 13, Issue 4, July-August 2025.
Abstract Premise Specialized metabolites serve various roles for plants and humans. Unlike core metabolites, specialized metabolites are restricted to certain plant lineages; thus, in addition to their ecological functions, specialized metabolites can serve as diagnostic markers of plant lineages.

Identification of Endophytic Bacterial Community Associated With Roots of Desert Vegetation

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Native plants thriving in extreme environments host unique microbial communities that might play crucial roles in promoting their growth and enhancing tolerance to harsh environmental conditions. In this study, the root‐associated microbial communities were analysed from ten desert native plant species.

Optimization of Steroid Photochemistry and Its Application in the Synthesis of 5,6‐Dihydro‐Ophiopogonol A

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 31, Issue 29, May 22, 2025.
Steroid photoreactivity was a major topic in the last century. This study revisits it by exploring the photochemistry of Δ1‐keto‐steroids, offering an efficient method to modify the classic steroid 6/6/6/5 ring system. This approach enables the transformation of accessible steroids into rare ones, demonstrated by synthesizing 5,6‐dihydro‐ophiopogonol A

Magnolin Mitigates Skin Ageing Through the CXCL10/p38 Signalling Pathway

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 29, Issue 10, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Skin ageing accelerates systemic ageing and impairs the body's disease resistance. Inflammaging is a significant contributor to skin ageing. However, the mechanism by which inflammatory factors contribute to skin ageing remains unclear. We conducted screenings and identified CXC motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) as an inducer of skin ageing ...
