Behavioural manipulation of the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala L): Prospects for push–pull strategies in oilseed rape

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Behavioural manipulation of Psylliodes chrysocephala provides promising opportunities for sustainable pest management in oilseed rape systems. This review synthesises evidence on glucosinolates and their volatile isothiocyanate derivatives as phagostimulants and attractants, alongside the repellent or antifeedant effects of non‐host plants, plant ...

Targeting regulated cell death (RCD) with naturally derived sesquiterpene lactones in cancer therapy

Pharmacological Research
Regulated cell death (RCD) is a type of cell death modulated by specific signal transduction pathways. Currently, known RCD types include apoptosis, autophagy, ferroptosis, necroptosis, cuproptosis, pyroptosis, and NETosis.

Dehydrocostus Lactone Suppresses Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Inhibiting Protein Tyrosine Kinase‐7 Mediated β‐Catenin Signaling

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Schematic summary of the experimentally supported mechanism of DHL in hepatocellular carcinoma. Dehydrocostus lactone (DHL), a sesquiterpene lactone derived from Aucklandia lappa, directly engages protein tyrosine kinase 7 (PTK7), as supported by molecular docking, CETSA, and DARTS assays.
