Pentacyclic triterpenes are secondary plant metabolites widespread in fruit peel, leaves and stem bark. In particular the lupane-, oleanane-, and ursane triterpenes display various pharmacological effects while being devoid of prominent toxicity. Therefore, these triterpenes are promising leading compounds for the development of new multi-targeting bioactive agents. Screening of 39 plant materi...

Duodenal atresia (DA) with small bowel atresia is an extremely rare condition. The widely accepted theory beyond DA development differs from that for small bowel atresia. We report here a case of a baby having both conditions. 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Duodenal atresia is believed to occur due to failure of recanalization, whereas jejunal atresia is due t...

In higher plants, jasmonate ZIM-domain (JAZ) proteins negatively regulate the biosynthesis of anthocyanins by interacting with bHLH transcription factors. However, it is largely unknown if and how other regulators are involved in this process. In this study, the apple MdJAZ2 protein was characterized in regards to its function in the negative regulation of anthocyanin accumulation and peel colo...
