The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Camptothecin (CPT), a plant‐derived monoterpene indole alkaloid first identified in Camptotheca acuminata, is a drug precursor widely used for cancer chemotherapeutics. However, the full set of genes responsible for CPT biosynthesis remains unclear, hindering efforts to elucidate the complete pathway or establish biosynthetic production of CPT

Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Shedding Light on Two Blind Spots in Harm Reduction Discourse
Drug and Alcohol Review, Volume 45, Issue 6, September 2026.ABSTRACT Harm reduction policies aim to reduce drug‐related harms. This has historically involved providing tailored health services to people who use drugs to do so more safely. Social justice is another defining element of harm reduction. This component aims to reduce drug‐related stigma and minimise the social harms experienced by people who use ...

Microbiome‐Phytochemical Crosstalk Along the Gut‐Brain Axis in Alzheimer and Parkinson's Disease
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.Phytochemicals remodel the gut microbiota by enriching beneficial bacteria and microbial metabolites while suppressing dysbiosis and inflammation. Through modulation of the gut–brain axis, they restore intestinal barrier integrity, regulate neuroimmune and neuroprotective signaling pathways, reduce amyloid‐β, tau, and α‐synuclein pathology, and ...
