Article Abstract
Thirteen species of deep-water calcaxonian octocorals belonging to the families Primnoidae, Chrysogorgiidae, and Isididae collected from off the Galápagos and Cocos Islands are described and figured. Seven of these species are described as new; nine of the 13 are not known outside the Galápagos region. Of the four species occurring elsewhere, two also occur in the eastern Pacific, one off Hawaii, and one from off Antarctica. A key to the 22 Indo-Pacific species of is provided to help distinguish those species.

Coconut flesh, the solid endosperm, of coconut, which is rich in fat, protein and polyphenols. To investigate the impact of ultrasound treatment on the biosynthesis of polyphenols in tender coconut flesh during storage, the targeted metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses were employed. A total of 36 phenolic compounds were identified, of which catechin, epicatechin, gossypol and vanillic acid were the most abundant ones in 'Hainan Tall' coconut flesh.

The progression of renal fibrosis is difficult to reverse, and Poria cocos, one of the main components of Wenyang Zhenshuai Granules, has been shown to be crucial to the development of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). This study aimed to examine the molecular mechanism by which Poricoic Acid A (PAA) inhibited the advancement of EMT in renal tubular epithelial (RTE) cells. The protein levels of sprouty RTK signaling antagonist 2 (SPRY2) extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK), and p-ERK were measured.

In the present study, the influence of drying temperature, mercerization, and epoxy coating on the physicochemical and mechanical properties of Colombian CFs and their interfacial adhesion with a PLA matrix were studied. CFs were extracted from the mesocarp of Cocos nucifera husks by retting. The fibers were oven-dried at two drying temperatures, 40 °C and 90 °C.

Background: Liuwei Dihuang Pills, a classic traditional Chinese medicine formula, has been widely used in clinical practice for its multiple pharmacological effects. However, the systematic characterization and identification of its chemical constituents, especially the aqueous decoction, remain insufficient, which hinders in-depth research on its pharmacodynamic material basis. Thus, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive analysis of its chemical components using advanced analytical techniques.
