SQFZ, a traditional Chinese medicine, when combined with chemotherapy, can enhance treatment effectiveness and reduce side effects. Its specific mechanism in reducing cisplatin-induced kidney injury requires further study.
Scientists tested the effectiveness of saponins, flavones, and alkaloids on animals with autoimmune diseases. Results may help develop new treatments for AIDs in humans.
Glycopeptide dCP1 from Codonopsis pilosula extracts can convert tumor-promoting M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) into tumor-suppressive M1 phenotype, potential for tumor treatment.
PGPB strain LDS17 isolated from rhizosphere promotes plant growth, inhibits fungi, increases enzyme activity, microbial diversity, and heavy metal resistance. Potential use in microbial fertilizers for sustainable plant growth and stress tolerance. Important for improving agricultural practices and environmental sustainability.
Herbal remedies in traditional Chinese medicine show promise in managing SCA3 by targeting oxidative stress. Preclinical studies support their therapeutic roles, suggesting potential alternative treatments to delay disease progression.
Researchers studied the anti-aging effects of Codonopsis pilosula on the brain. Results suggest potential benefits for brain health, supporting traditional medicinal uses. Important for future research in neuroprotection and cognitive function.
Researchers studied the use of traditional plant-based medicines to prevent nerve damage caused by chemotherapy. Results are unclear due to different medicine combinations and lack of understanding of their mechanisms.
Researchers investigated the use of Codonopsis decoction, a traditional Chinese medicine made from the dried roots of certain species of Codonopsis, in treating chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI). CCI is associated with qi and blood deficiencies and fluid depletion. This study explores the potential benefits and medicinal properties of Codonopsis in CCI treatment.
Codonopsis pilosula polysaccharide (CpP) protected mouse brain organoids from rotenone damage by reducing cytotoxicity and promoting cell cycle progression through demethylation modifications.
Continuous cropping changes soil properties, microbial activity, and community characteristics, leading to increased organic carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen, and salt, while pH decreases. Bacterial diversity declines, but fungi diversity increases. Microbial community stability is disrupted. Bacterial community characteristics are influenced by phosphorus, potassium, carbon-nitrogen ratio, and soil respiration, while nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, and soil respiration affect fungal community characteristics.
Researchers investigated the effects of an immunopotentiator called CPG on the immune response in tumor-bearing mice. Results showed that CPG inhibited tumor growth, enhanced immune responses, and induced tumor cell death. These findings contribute to our understanding of the immune system's role in fighting tumors.
