Cell fate simulation reveals cancer cell features in the tumor microenvironment.

Scientists used single-cell tracking and 3D modeling to study cancer cell behavior in pancreatic and cervical cancer. High levels of a specific modification were linked to enhanced growth in pancreatic cells. Understanding immune cell interactions and cell characteristics can help predict cancer cell fate in the tumor microenvironment.

A systematic review of spirostanol saponins and anticancer natural products isolated from Tacca plantaginea (Hance) Drenth.

Scientists studied bioactive molecules in Tacca plantaginea, including taccanolides and taccaosides, which show potential as anticancer agents by targeting cancer stem cells and immune response. Further research on saponins from this plant may lead to new immuno-active treatments.

Visual observation of polystyrene nano-plastics in grape seedlings of Thompson Seedless and assessing their effects via transcriptomics and metabolomics.

Scientists studied how micro/nano-plastics (MNPs) are absorbed by grapevines. They found that polystyrene nanoparticles can be taken up by the root system and transported upwards. This research helps assess the risk of MNPs entering the food chain and provides data for plant health and ecological risk assessment.

Lingguizhugan decoction ameliorates cognitive impairment in AD-like mice by influencing the microbiome-gut-brain axis mediated by SCFAs.

Researchers studied Lingguizhugan decoction, a traditional Chinese herbal remedy, for its potential in treating Alzheimer's disease by influencing the gut-brain axis through gut microbiota modulation. This ancient remedy may offer novel therapeutic possibilities for AD.
