Telomerase RNA gene paralogs in plants – the usual pathway to unusual telomeres

New Phytologist, Volume 239, Issue 6, Page 2353-2366, September 2023., 2023
Summary Telomerase, telomeric DNA and associated proteins together represent a complex, finely tuned and functionally conserved mechanism that ensures genome integrity by protecting and maintaining chromosome ends. Changes in its components can threaten an organism's viability.

How to approach a study in ethnopharmacology? Providing an example of the different research stages for newcomers to the field today

Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 11, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Ethnopharmacology seeks to investigate humankind's use of natural materials, such as plants, fungi, microorganisms, animals, and minerals, for medicinal purposes. In this highly interdisciplinary field, which can be described as a bridge between the natural/medical and socio‐cultural sciences, pharmacological, anthropological, and socio ...

Recovery patterns in community composition of fruit‐feeding butterflies following 26 years of active forest restoration

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Restoration of forests is now considered an essential tool to combat climate change and the global biodiversity decline. However, our understanding of how animal communities recover after restoration interventions in tropical forests is limited.

Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Traditional Antimalarial and Antidengue Plants: A Mechanistic Perspective

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Malaria, a highly perilous infectious disease, impacted approximately 230 million individuals globally in 2019. Mosquitoes, vectors of over 10% of worldwide diseases, pose a significant public health menace. The pressing need for novel antimalarial drugs arises due to the imminent threat faced by nearly 40% of the global population and the escalating ...

Ectoparasite Fauna of Rodents and Shrews with Their Spatial, Temporal, and Dispersal along a Degradation Gradient in Mabira Central Forest Reserve

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Ectoparasites like fleas, mites, and ticks that are key carriers of harmful pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, cestodes, and nematodes live on rodents and shrews. It should be noted that rodents’ ecological adaptability makes them suitable as parasite hosts.

The anti‐Trypanosoma activities of medicinal plants: A systematic review of the literature

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2738-2772, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Background The existing drug treatments for trypanosomiases are limited and suffer from shortcomings due to their toxicity and the emergence of resistant parasites. Developing anti‐trypanosomal compounds based on natural products is a promising way of fighting trypanosomiases.

Does restoration success vary with tree size under restoration plantings and regrowth forests?

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 4, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022
Our article examined whether restoration communities approach reference forests over time, assessed the influence of tree size on restoration success in restoration plantings and regrowth forests, and how landscape conditions affect active restoration. We show that restoration success is faster for smaller than larger trees.

Chronosequence Resampling Elucidates Tree Community and Forest Structure Recovery Patterns in Restored Tropical Rainforest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We studied forest structure, tree diversity, traits and community recovery patterns in an age gradient of actively restored Afrotropical rainforest in 2013 and 2021. The results showed early signs of recovery for tree taxa richness, basal area, stem density and community similarity with variable recovery rates.

Bioassay-guided isolation of three anthelmintic compounds from Warburgia ugandensis Sprague subspecies ugandensis, and the mechanism of action of polygodial [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology, 2018
Parasitic helminths continue to pose problems in human and veterinary medicine, as well as in agriculture. Resistance to current anthelmintics has prompted the search for new drugs. Anthelmintic metabolites from medicinal plants could be good anthelmintic drug candidates.
