Background: Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are rare inborn errors of metabolism with multisystemic manifestations. SSR4-CDG is an ultra-rare X-linked subtype caused by pathogenic variants in SSR4, a component of the translocon-associated...

Gardenia tea is esteemed for its delicate and fragrant aroma. Background: However, there is a scarcity of studies focused on the aromatic properties of gardenia-scented white tea, particularly regarding how these aroma profiles evolve over different...

Background/Objectives: Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have become a dominant component of the modern diet, paralleling the rise in obesity and chronic disease prevalence worldwide. This narrative review aims to synthesize evidence on how dietary proces...

Background/Objectives: Land management practices strongly influence soil biochemical processes, yet conventional soil measurements often overlook dynamic small-molecule variation underlying nutrient cycling and microbial activity. This study aimed to...

Background/Objectives: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe condition driven largely by inflammation and has limited therapeutic options. Although saikosaponin B1 (SSB1), a primary bioactive saponin from Bupleurum Radix, has demonstrated anti-inflamma...

Background: Neurotoxin-based in vitro models are commonly used to replicate the mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD). While these models reproduce similar hallmark features of PD pathology, the...

Background/Objectives: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by social and communication differences, is complex and aetiologically heterogeneous. Untargeted metabolomics is emerging as a tool in screening for b...

Background/Objectives: Natural products containing hydroxyanthracene derivatives (HADs) such as Cascara (Rhamnus purshiana), Frangula (Rhamnus frangula), Rhubarb (Rheum palmatum), and Senna (Cassia angustifolia) have long been used for their laxative...

Background/Objectives: Ergot alkaloids are mycotoxins produced mainly by fungi of the genus Claviceps, infecting a wide variety of plants, especially cereals. These toxins usually manifest as black, hardened sclerotia (ergots), though they may also b...

Background/Objectives: δ1-Pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid (P5C) is a key intermediate in both the pathways leading in plants to proline synthesis, as well as in the proline catabolic route that takes place in the mitochondrion. Instead of being fur...
