From hepatic to hematopoietic: LRH‐1's expanding cellular repertoire to the immune system

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The nuclear receptor LRH‐1 is a well‐characterized regulator of endodermal tissue. Yet, increasing evidence indicates that LRH‐1, although expressed at low levels, is also a critical regulator of the hematopoietic system. LRH‐1 regulates the immune system by contributing to immune cell‐specific functions.

Biodiversity science is improved when silent herbaria speak

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1378-1386, July 2026.
Herbaria in the Global South are critical yet underutilized resources for biodiversity science and often absent from international databases and research networks. We highlight the phenomenon of “silent herbaria” using Nigeria as a case study and quantify how these collections fill important gaps in global biodiversity knowledge.
