Moscatilin, a biphenyl compound derived from Dendrobium nobile, exhibits significant anti-tumor activity. However, the specific role of moscatilin in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and its underlying molecular mechanisms have not been fully studied. This study aims to fill this gap by demonstrating through a series of experiments that moscatilin can effectively inhibit the proliferation and migration of ccRCC and induce its apoptosis process.

Methods: Network pharmacology was used to screen the possible signaling pathways of Apatinib in bladder cancer, and the most likely pathway was selected for in vitro validation. CCK-8 and colony formation assay were used to detect the effect of Apatinib on the proliferation of bladder cancer cells.
Background: Galangin is one of the flavonoids in Alpinia officinarum. It has various anti-tumor activities, but its anti-bladder cancer effect is unclear.
Objective: To investigate the mechanism of action of galangin against bladder cancer using a network pharmacology approach.
Chemical control plays a crucial role in pest management but has to face challenges due to insect resistance. It is important to discover alternatives to traditional pesticides. The spider mite (Ehara & Gotoh) (Acari: Tetranychidae) is a major agricultural pest that causes severe damage to many crops.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe spider mite, Tetranychus pueraricola (Ehara & Gotoh; Acari: Tetranychidae), is a serious pest in agriculture and horticulture. Application of chemical pesticides is the main mode of this pest control. Due to pesticide residues and resistance-induced resurgence of pests, there is a need to discover alternatives for spider mite management.
