Fluctuating asymmetry of and herbivory on Poincianella pyramidalis (Tul.) L.P. Queiroz (Fabaceae) in pasture and secondary tropical dry forest [PDF]
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2013 Plants subjected to stressful environments tend to be more asymmetric with reduced defenses and are therefore more vulnerable to herbivory. This study investigates the relationship between herbivory and fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in Poincianella ...

Isoschaftoside Inhibits Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammation in Microglia through Regulation of HIF-1α-Mediated Metabolic Reprogramming. [PDF]
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2022 Isoschaftoside is a C‐glycosyl flavonoid extracted from the root exudates of Desmodium uncinatum and Abrus cantoniensis. Previous studies suggested that C‐glycosyl flavonoid has neuroprotective effects with the property of reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory markers.

Phytoestrogen Agathisflavone Ameliorates Neuroinflammation-Induced by LPS and IL-1β and Protects Neurons in Cocultures of Glia/Neurons [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2020 Inflammation and oxidative stress are common aspects of most neurodegenerative diseases in the central nervous system. In this context, microglia and astrocytes are central to mediating the balance between neuroprotective and neurodestructive mechanisms.

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 175, Issue 6, November/December 2023., 2023 Abstract Studies on the relationship between Handroanthus serratifolius and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are limited in the literature. The influence of AMF spore density on plant development is fundamental information to determining the degree of benefits in this relationship. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects
