Leuenbergeria bleo (Kunth) DC. (Cactaceae), previously classified as Pereskia bleo, represents a phylogenetically basal cactus species with a disjunct distribution across Central America, Southeast Asia, and southern China. Phytochemical investigations have traditionally emphasized small-molecule secondary metabolites, including phenolics, alkaloids, and terpenoids, which contribute to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. However, recent peptidomic analyses have expanded this chemical space through the discovery of bleogens, a family of hyper-stable, cysteine-rich microproteins with specific antifungal and wound-healing properties. This review systematically integrates botanical characteristics, ethnomedicinal applications, and pharmacological profiles, providing a comparative analysis of the plant’s small-molecule constituents versus its peptidyl biologics. It identifies the co-existence of these distinct chemical classes as a defining feature of the plant’s efficacy while highlighting the need for future research into their potential interactions.

Revisiting the Warburg Effect: Modern Understanding, Existing Misconceptions and Evolving Concepts in Cancer Metabolism
Prithwish Mukherjee
The Warburg effect, classically defined as the preferential use of glycolysis by cancer cells in the presence of oxygen, has been a central concept in cancer biology since a long time. Otto Warburg had originally proposed that defective mitochondrial respiration was the primary cause of aerobic glycolysis in cancer cells. While this hypothesis profoundly influenced early cancer metabolism research, it has now become increasingly clear that this interpretation has gaping. Advances in biochemistry, molecular biology and metabolomics demonstrate that mitochondria in many cancers are functional and play essential roles in biosynthesis, signaling and energy production. Aerobic glycolysis in cancer cells is now recognized as an adaptive metabolic strategy that supports rapid proliferation by providing metabolic intermediates, maintaining redox balance, and enabling cellular signaling rather than maximizing ATP yield. This review discusses the Warburg effect through the lens of modern cancer metabolism. It contrasts classical misconceptions with current evidences, discusses key regulatory pathways like HIF-1α, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, c-Myc and PKM2, and examine the central role of lactate as both a metabolic fuel and a signaling molecule. It further explores metabolic heterogeneity, the reverse Warburg effect, immune–metabolic interactions, and the relevance of oxidative phosphorylation in cancer. Finally, some unresolved questions are highlighted that is critical for future understanding of cancer metabolism.

Background: Formin proteins are crucial regulators of actin filament assembly and elongation in eukaryotic cells, playing important roles in plant development and abiotic stress responses. However, the functional characterization of formins in Brassica rapa remains uncover. Methods: A total of 27 formin family members (BrFHs) were identified through genome-wide alignment with Arabidopsis thaliana. Results: Phylogenetic analysis classified BrFH gene family into two distinct clades, designated Group I and Group II, which exhibit divergent protein architectures. Promoter analysis revealed that BrFHs contain multiple cis-regulatory elements related to growth and development, stress responses, and phytohormone signaling. These findings suggest that BrFHs may have diversified functions. Tissue-specific expression analysis revealed that BrFHs exhibit distinct expression patterns across various tissues. Notably, BrFH15 and BrFH18 are highly expressed in flowers, displaying expression profiles similar to those of floral development genes such as AP3, AGL10 and so on. Additionally, many BrFHs show dynamic expression patterns in response to cold stresses. In particular, BrFH2, BrFH19 and BrFH27 were up-regulated, and their co-expression within the gene network suggests potential roles in regulating cold stress. Conclusions: These results clarify the functional roles of BrFHs and shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying their regulation of tissue development and responses to abiotic stress in Brassica rapa.
