Management and incipient domestication of Chamaedorea tepejilote in agroforestry systems in Mexico

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Native wild plants are key elements in addressing global biodiversity loss and supporting sustainable food systems. We investigated how rural communities in Mexico manage Chamaedorea tepejilote, a wild palm with edible male inflorescences, by combining ethnobotanical, genetic, morphological and ecological approaches.

Toll‐Like Receptor 4 Signaling in Natural N‐Acylethanolamines and Derivative NAE‐Like Compounds: Mechanisms and Implications for Neuroimmune and Inflammatory Processes in a Systematic Search Approach

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT N‐acylethanolamines (NAEs) are endogenous fatty acid amides structurally related to the endocannabinoid anandamide and function as bioactive lipid mediators with broad regulatory roles in inflammation and neuroinflammation. Among pattern‐recognition receptors, Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) occupies a central position in innate immune ...
