Sustainable Leather Manufacturing: Leveraging the Role of Plant Extracts for a Greener Future

Journal of Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The global leather industry processes about 17 million tons of hides and skins annually, producing approximately 600 million cubic meters of tannery wastewater with pollutant levels often exceeding regulatory standards. The main aim of this review was to synthesize, evaluate, and compile information on the potential of eco‐benign plant phytochemicals ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Anti‐Inflammatory and Immunomodulatory Activities of Key Phytochemicals: A Comprehensive Review

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Phytochemicals derived from medicinal plants represent a rich and largely underexploited source of anti‐inflammatory and immunomodulatory agents. Chronic inflammation and dysregulated immune responses underpin many tropical and global diseases, including infectious, autoimmune, and metabolic disorders. This review examines the spectrum of plant‐derived

Microbial drivers of root plasticity

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 52-67, October 2025.
Summary Soils are highly heterogeneous and dynamic systems, experiencing a constant flow of plant root exudates and moisture fluctuations that affect nutrient distribution, soil physicochemical properties, and microbial metabolisms. Plant roots adjust their development within the soil matrix (growth, branching, root angle, and anatomical features) by ...

Unraveling the drivers of forage quality variation in the Serengeti

Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Variation in forage quality is a key dimension of herbivore resource partitioning, but the main determinants of such variation across environmental gradients remain poorly understood. It is especially unclear how much variation in plant nutrient contents and stoichiometry is driven by plant species turnover versus by intraspecific variation ...
