Exploring the Antifungal Potential of the Brown Macroalga Hormophysa triquetra: Morphological Disruptions and Structural Changes in Plant Pathogens

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Extracts of Hormophysa triquetra showed antifungal activity with marked hyphal deformities in Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata. Light microscopy and SEM confirmed structural alterations despite unchanged radial growth. Cucumber assays validated reduced disease incidence, linked to fatty‐acid–rich metabolites detected by GC–MS.

High cholesterol absorption efficiency enhances proatherogenic properties of low‐density lipoprotein particles

open access: yesJournal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 6, Page 711-725, June 2026.
Abstract Background and Aims High cholesterol absorption efficiency is determined by genetic variation in small intestinal sterol transporters and affects one‐third of individuals. Their risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is increased compared with low cholesterol absorbers, despite similar serum lipid concentrations.
