The study investigated the effects of a herbal medicine, BCAE, on chondrocytes in osteoarthritis. BCAE promoted cell viability, reduced extracellular matrix degradation, and inhibited the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway, potentially protecting chondrocytes from degeneration.
Researchers investigated the antidiabetic effects of a flavonoid called 5,7,3',4',5'-pentamethoxyflavone isolated from Benth. (Fabaceae) and confirmed its potential as a treatment for diabetes.
Scientists investigated whether extracts from the Bauhinia championii plant could prevent neuronal injury caused by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), which currently lacks effective remedies and can result in lethal injury. BCEs have previously shown anti-oxidative and anti-hypoxia properties. The study's findings suggest that BCE may be a potential treatment for I/R-induced neuronal injury.
