DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1906083116
Abstract: Significance Limonoids are natural products made by members of the Meliaceae and Rutaceae families. Some limonoids (e.g., azadirachtin) are toxic to insects yet harmless to mammals. The use of limonoids in crop protection and other… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.867608
Abstract: Inflammation and redox imbalance are hallmarks of cancer, diabetes, and other degenerative disorders. Pathophysiological response to these disorders leads to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction by alterations and reprogramming in cellular signaling and metabolism. Pancreatic… read more here.
