Manassov N., Samy M.N., Datkhayev U., Avula B., Adams S.J., Katragunta K., Raman V., Khan I.A. & Ross S.A. (2023): Ultrastructural, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, chemical study and LC-DAD-QToF chemical characterization of Cetraria islandica (L.) Ach. - Molecules, 28(11): 4493 [19 p.]

The lichen Cetraria islandica (L.) Ach. has been used in traditional and modern medicines for its many biological properties such as immunological, immunomodulating, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities. This species is gaining popularity in the market, with interest from many industries for selling as medicines, dietary supplements, and daily herbal drinks. This study profiled the morpho-anatomical features by light, fluorescence, and scanning electron microscopy; conducted … Read more...

Notes on the occurring of lichenicolous Micarea: M. kemmleri, M. peliocarpa, M. synotheoides and M. usneae are provided. Keywords: new species; Micarea amplissima; M. parasitica; southern Europe; taxonomy. Read more...

Silva P.G., Roquero E., Pérez-López R., Bardají T., Santos Delgado G. & Elez J. (2023): Lichenometric analysis applied to bedrock fault scarps: the sencelles fault and the 1851 CE Mallorca earthquake (Balearic Islands, Spain) - Applied Sciences, 13(11): 6739 [27 p.]

The Sencelles Fault constitutes the main extensional structure of Mallorca Island (Spain), holds a NE-SE orientation, and has been identified as the possible seismic source of the 1851 CE Palma earthquake (VII EMS.) The SE termination of the fault (Sta. Eugenia Segment) features a linear bedrock fault scarp of a maximum of 3.15 m height. The last 840 m of this rocky scarp display a significant horizontal banding, with up to five differentially weathered ribbons colonized by lichens. The lichenometric … Read more...

Timdal E. & Gjerlaug H.C. (2023): DNA barcodes reveal unrecognized species diversity in Peltigera sect. Peltigera in Norway, including the new species P. jonii - Graphis Scripta, 35(4): 30–65

Phylogenetic analyses of 140 ITS sequences from Norwegian material of Peltigera sect. Peltigera obtained mainly by the Norwegian DNA barcode project OLICH indicate the presence of 26 putative species. Among those, we accept 18 taxonomic species, including the new species Peltigera jonii Timdal & Gjerlaug (also reported from a soil sample from Alaska), four species new to Fennoscandia (P. “fuscoponojensis”, P. islandica, P. “neorufescens” 3, and P. “neorufescens” 5), and an unnamed … Read more...

Bellia G. & Pieroni A. (2015): Isolated, but transnational: the glocal nature of Waldensian ethnobotany, Western Alps, NW Italy - J Ethnobiol Ethnomed, 11: 37

Background: An ethnobotanical field study on the traditional uses of wild plants for food as well as medicinal and veterinary plants was conducted in four Waldensian valleys (Chisone, Germanasca, Angrogna, and Pellice) in the Western Alps, Piedmont, NW Italy. Waldensians represent a religious Protestant Christian minority that originated in France and spread around 1,170 AD to the Italian side of Western Alps, where, although persecuted for centuries, approximately 20,000 believers still survive … Read more...

Suh S.-S., Kim T.K., Kim J.E., Hong J.-M., Nguyen T.T., Han S.J., Youn U.J., Yim J.H. & Kim I.-C. (2017): Anticancer Activity of Ramalin, a Secondary Metabolite from the Antarctic Lichen Ramalina terebrata, against Colorectal Cancer Cells - Molecules, 22: 1361

Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and occurs through the highly complex coordination of multiple cellular pathways, resulting in carcinogenesis. Recent studies have increasingly revealed that constituents of lichen extracts exhibit potent pharmaceutical activities, including anticancer activity against various cancer cells, making them promising candidates for new anticancer therapeutic drugs. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the anticancer capacities of ramalin, … Read more...

Palacios-Moreno J., Rubio C., Quilhot W., Cavieres M.F., de la Pena E., Quinones N.V., Diaz H., Carrion F., Henriquez-Roldan C.F. & Weinstein-Oppenheimer C.R. (2019): Epanorin, a lichen secondary metabolite, inhibits proliferation of MCF-7 breast cancer cells - Biol Res, 52: 55

BACKGROUND: Epanorin (EP) is a secondary metabolite of the Acarospora lichenic species. EP has been found in lichenic extracts with antimicrobial activity, and UV-absorption properties have been described for closely related molecules; however, its antiproliferative activity in cancer cells has not yet been explored. It has been hypothesized that EP inhibits cancer cell growth. MCF-7 breast cancer cells, normal fibroblasts, and the non-transformed HEK-293 cell line were exposed to increasing concentrations … Read more...

(2016): Gelatin-based membrane containing usnic acid-loaded liposome improves dermal burn healing in a porcine model - Int J Pharm, 513(1-2): 473-482

There are a range of products available which claim to accelerate the healing of burns; these include topical agents, interactive dressings and biomembranes. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a gelatin-based membrane containing usnic acid/liposomes on the healing of burns in comparison to silver sulfadiazine ointment and duoDerme((R)) dressing, as well as examining its quantification by high performance liquid chromatography. The quantification of the usnic acid/liposomes was examined … Read more...
