Phytochemicals and cancer [PDF]
Epidemiological studies showing a protective effect of diets rich in fruits and vegetables against cancer have focused attention on the possibility that biologically-active plant secondary metabolites exert anti-carcinogenic activity. This huge group of compounds, now collectively termed ‘phytochemicals’, provides much of the flavour and colour of ...

Polyphenol diet and exercise as neuroprotective factors in a Drosophila model of Alzheimer's disease
Moderate exercise and low‐dose ellagic acid supplementation improved motor performance, learning, and longevity in a transgenic Drosophila model of Alzheimer's disease. Both interventions showed hormetic effects—that is, beneficial at low levels, but detrimental at higher intensities or doses.

Forager bees (Apis mellifera) highly express immune and detoxification genes in tissues associated with nectar processing. [PDF]
Pollinators, including honey bees, routinely encounter potentially harmful microorganisms and phytochemicals during foraging. However, the mechanisms by which honey bees manage these potential threats are poorly understood.
