Safety of botanical ingredients in personal care products/cosmetics
TL;DR: Pagmatic approaches for quality and safety standards of botanical ingredients are needed; consumer safety should be the first objective of conventional and botanical PCP ingredients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic improvement of grass pea for low neurotoxin (β-ODAP) content.
TL;DR: Exploitable genetic variability for β-ODAP has been observed for development of low ODAP varieties, which along with improved agronomic and detoxification practices can help reduce the risk of lathyrism.

Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.): orphan crop, nutraceutical or just plain food?
TL;DR: Development of varieties with an improved balance in essential amino acids and diet may be relevant to enhance the nutritional value without jeopardizing the multiple stress tolerance of this promising crop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Update 1 of: α,β-Diamino acids: biological significance and synthetic approaches.
TL;DR: The aim of this article will be to provide a deep and general view of the existing methodology for the synthesis of aliphatic R, or 2,3-diamino acids and their simple derivatives, esters, and other interesting applications found in the existing literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orphan crops: their importance and the urgency of improvement.
TL;DR: Concerted efforts are urgently needed to advance the research and development of both the major and orphan crops so that food security will be achieved and ultimately the livelihood of the population will be improved.

Lathyrism: evidence for role of the neuroexcitatory aminoacid boaa
Peter S. Spencer,A. C. Ludolph,M. P. Dwivedi,Dwijendra N. Roy,Jacques Hugon,Herbert H. Schaumburg +5 more
TL;DR: Primate feeding studies show that beta-N-oxalylamino-L-alanine (BOAA), a potent neuroexcitatory aminoacid in the chickling pea, induces corticospinal dysfunction similar to that seen in animals consuming a fortified diet of this legume.

Effects of burglary and vandalism on the health of old people
TL;DR: The stress of burglary and vandalism can precipitate a major health crisis in old age that demands urgent admission to hospital and many patients never regain enough confidence to return home.
