A Meta‐Analysis Reveals That the Protective Role of Silicon in Grasses Against Fungal Pathogens Depends on Infection Mechanism

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathogen infection drives plant community structure and constrains global agricultural productivity. Silicon (Si) improves resistance to abiotic and herbivory stress, particularly in grasses, but relatively little attention has addressed Si‐mediated resistance to pathogens, nor has it tested how this varies according to the type of plant and ...

Pachymic Acid Alleviates Non‐Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease via FGF21‐Mediated Inhibition of the p38 MAPK Pathway

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Pachymic acid alleviates non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease via FGF21‐mediated inhibition of the p38 MAPK pathway. Pachymic acid (PAC) exerts anti‐ non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) effects by promoting FGF21 expression, activating FGF21/FGFR1 signaling, and thereby suppressing p38 MAPK phosphorylation. ABSTRACT Non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease
