Phytotoxic metabolites produced in liquid culture by six species of Lasiodiplodia isolated in Brazil and causing Botryosphaeria dieback of grapevine were chemically identified. As ascertained by LC/MS, L. brasiliense, L. crassispora, L. jatrophicola, and L. pseudotheobromae produced jasmonic acid, and L. brasiliense synthesized, besides jasmonic acid, also (3R,4S)-4-hydroxymellein. L. euphorbicola and L. hormozganensis produced some low molecular weight lipophilic toxins. Specifically, L. euphorbicola produced (-)-mellein, (3R,4R)-(-)- and (3R,4S)-(-)-4-hydroxymellein, and tyrosol, and L. hormozganensis synthesized tyrosol and p-hydroxybenzoic acid. This is the first report on the production of the above cited metabolites from L. euphorbicola and L. hormozganensis. The phytotoxic activity of the metabolites produced is also discussed and related to the symptoms these pathogens cause in the grapevine host plants.

Filamentous fungi are of great interest due to their powerful metabolic capabilities and potentials to produce abundant various secondary metabolites as natural products (NPs), some of which have been developed into pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, high-throughput genome sequencing has revealed tremendous cryptic NPs underexplored. Based on the development of in silico genome mining, various techniques have been introduced to rationally modify filamentous fungi,awakening the silent biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) and visualizing the NPs originally cryptic.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a multifactorial condition with heterogeneous pathophysiology, including intestinal permeability alterations. The aim of the present study was to assess the ability of a probiotic blend (PB) consisting of two strains (CECT7484 and CECT7485) and one strain of (CECT7483) to recover the permeability increase induced by mediators from IBS mucosal biopsies and to highlight the underlying molecular mechanisms. Twenty-one IBS patients diagnosed according to ROME IV criteria (11 IBS-D and 10 IBS-M) and 7 healthy controls were enrolled.

Artemisinin-based treatments (ACTs) are the first therapy currently used to treat malaria produced by . However, in recent years, increasing evidence shows that some strains of are less susceptible to ACT in the Southeast Asian region. A data reanalysis of several omics approaches currently available about parasites of that have some degree of resistance to ACT was carried out.

Currently, the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) resources to unblock joints, strengthen bones, and enhance muscle function to regulate anti-osteogenic and anabolic metabolism and thus reshape intraosseous homeostasis was an effective way to alleviate OP. The F-E-D formula, comprising Fructus Psoraleae, Eucommia, and Drynariae Rhizoma, has shown efficacy in treating OP.
