Exploration of the effect and mechanism of Scutellaria barbata D. Don in the treatment of ovarian cancer based on network pharmacology and in vitro experimental verification.

Scutellaria barbata D. Don (SBD) contains bioactive ingredients that inhibit ovarian cancer development. Quercetin, luteolin, and wogonin are key components that inhibit cancer growth by targeting the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. SBD could be a potential drug for ovarian cancer treatment.

Taxonomic profiling of Nasutitermes takasagoensis microbiota to investigate the role of termites as vectors of bacteria linked to ironwood tree decline in Guam.

Study investigated the role of termites as vectors of bacteria causing ironwood tree decline (IWTD) in Guam. Termites prefer low pathogen content in wood and are not vectors for Ralstonia spp. or bacterial endophytes associated with IWTD. Tree health, plot management, decline severity, and termite damage affect termite bacterial diversity.
