Tetrandrine, a Major Alkaloid From Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix, Ameliorates Non‐Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Zebrafish via the PI3K/AKT/STAT3 Pathway

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Tet regulates lipid metabolism and cell apoptosis to alleviate NAFLD. Integrated network pharmacology, Mendelian randomization, and experimental validation demonstrate that Tet activates the PI3K/AKT/STAT3 signaling axis, suppresses apoptosis, reduces hepatic lipid accumulation, and improves biochemical liver injury markers, supporting its potential as

Evaluating Inflammatory Gene Expression Linked to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Workers of the Nanoparticle Industries: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly used in industry for their unique properties. However, prolonged occupational exposure to common NPs like titanium dioxide (TiO₂), zinc oxide (ZnO), silver (Ag), and silica (SiO₂) may trigger systemic inflammation and contribute to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Integrated multi-omics analyses reveal the pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic pulmonary macrophage subcluster in silicosis

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Background: Silicosis is a lethal occupational disease caused by long-term exposure to respirable silica dust. Pulmonary macrophages play a crucial role in mediating the initiation of silicosis.

Agroforestry and enhanced rock weathering: A dual strategy for sustainable cacao

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 843-860, May 2026.
Cacao production is both economically vital and environmentally intensive, presenting a major sustainability challenge as a crop largely cultivated by smallholder farmers in climate‐vulnerable regions. This review synthesises evidence that integrating agroforestry with enhanced rock weathering (EW) may significantly reduce emissions from cacao ...

Targeted Mitochondrial ECSIT Overexpression Attenuates MASH by Increasing OTUD3 Expression

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 22, 17 April 2026.
Mitochondrial ECSIT expression is reduced during MASH pathogenesis. Overexpression of mitochondrial ECSIT mitigates steatohepatitis and maintains hepatic metabolic homeostasis. Mechanistically, ECSIT enhances intramitochondrial OTUD3 expression to stabilize SIRT3 through deubiquitination, thus preserving mitochondrial function and impeding disease ...

Impact of Secondary Prevention on Mortality in the Building Trades National Medical Screening Program: Effectiveness of Occupational High‐Risk Management

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page 241-253, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Since 1997 the Building Trades National Medical Screening Program (BTMed) has offered medical exams to construction workers employed in US nuclear weapons facilities. The process consists of two steps: (1) a detailed work history interview; and (2) a medical exam.

Commentary on Notification and Recordkeeping of Occupational Mesothelioma in India

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page 219-225, April 2026.
ABSTRACT In India, some occupational diseases are notifiable under the Mines Act, 1952, and the Factories Act, 1948. Mesothelioma, primarily attributable to asbestos exposure, has been listed specifically as one of the notifiable diseases under the Mines Act, 1952, and is notifiable under the category of occupational cancer in the Factories Act, 1948 ...
