Chromosome-level genome assemblies from two sandalwood species provide insights into the evolution of the Santalales [PDF]

Communications Biology, 2023
Sandalwood is one of the most expensive woods in the world and is well known for its long-lasting and distinctive aroma. In our study, chromosome-level genome assemblies for two sandalwood species (Santalum album and S antalum yasi) were constructed by ...

Efficacy, Safety and Biological Characteristics of Formulation Based on Essential Oil Against Co-Infections of Herpes Simplex Virus-1 and Candida albicans. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
Essential oils with anti‐HSV‐1 activity were identified through literature review and tested against Candida to develop a formulation for co‐infections. The blend was assessed for anti‐inflammatory properties, allergenic potential via standardized BAT, and overall antiviral efficacy.
