Planting for healthy air: Urban biodiversity enhances natural chemical environments
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Cities urgently need nature to improve public health, support biodiversity, and increase resilience to climate change. Yet not all green spaces offer the same benefits. In this study, we show that more diverse urban plantings create richer “chemical environments”; subtle, naturally scented atmospheres formed by plant emissions that can influence how ...

Large language models unlock large text corpora in the search for data on medicinal plants and fungi
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Millions of people worldwide depend on plants and fungi for their healthcare needs, yet our understanding of which species are used medicinally—and how—remains fragmented and incomplete. As part of Kew's Plants for Health service, we developed a pipeline to mine large text corpora for information on natural products, initially focusing on the medicinal

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Understanding plant chemicals is vital for medicine and agriculture, but global data remain fragmented and biased. We developed an AI‐powered tool to automatically extract plant‐compound information from scientific literature at scale and low cost. Our analysis revealed significant knowledge gaps, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere. By efficiently

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Radioresistance remains a key barrier in breast cancer (BC) treatment. Baicalein, a flavonoid from Scutellaria baicalensis, has shown potential to enhance radiosensitivity. This study investigates its efficacy and mechanism in radioresistant BC models. Radioresistant BC cell models were established via fractionated irradiation and validated by
