Draft genome of the aquatic moss Fontinalis antipyretica (Fontinalaceae, Bryophyta)

Mosses comprise one of three lineages forming a sister group to extant vascular plants. Having emerged from an early split in the diversification of embryophytes, mosses may offer complementary insights into the evolution of traits followin...

Metabolites extracted from browntop millet (Urochloa ramosa (L.) T.Q. Nguyen) mitigated the proliferation of breast- and colorectal carcinoma cells in vitro and retarded the EAC tumors in vivo by binding to oncogenic proteins

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an inverse correlation between millet-based diets and incidence of cancers of colon and rectum. These findings highlight the potential of millets as functional foods for effective management of canc...
