New sesquiterpenes isolated from Carpesium abrotanoides herbs showed moderate cytotoxicity against liver cancer cells and significant acetylcholinesterase inhibition, potentially useful for developing anti-cancer and Alzheimer's disease treatments.
Researchers studied genetic markers related to circadian and growth rhythms in Norway spruce trees. They found SNPs correlated with elevation and health condition, including genes involved in redox homeostasis and disease resistance. This study enhances understanding of local adaptation in Norway spruce populations.
Researchers identified Cannabis sativa L. as a potent inhibitor of MRSA, with cannabidiol and Δ9-THC showing bactericidal action. This plant-based alternative may help combat antimicrobial resistance in bovine biofilm-associated MRSA infections.
Dandelion flower extracts fight inflammation and bacteria, including H. pylori, a common cause of gastritis. Study may lead to new antimicrobial treatments.
Study shows V. vitis-idaea shrubs under P. pumila spread through clonal growth, impacting genetic diversity. Nurse effect by P. pumila aids beneficiary plant sustainability in alpine regions. Important for ecosystem management.
