Common Names: coatbuttons
Novel nanohydrogel containing dopamine, chitosan, and extract increased cell viability and migration in human gingival fibroblast cells, showing potential as a wound healing agent in periodontal and peri-implant therapy.
Tridax procumbens (TP) mixed with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) was tested for tensile strength. Results show TP/CMC biofilm could be used as wound dressing in medical applications.
A study evaluated the effects of Tridax procumbens (cotton buttons) extract on rats with induced type 2 diabetes. The extract improved fasting blood glucose levels, insulin levels, dyslipidemia, and antioxidant status while decreasing proinflammatory mediators. The most abundant bioactive compounds identified were isorhamnetin, bixin, and lupeol. The study shows promise for TPME as an alternative therapeutic option for managing diabetic complications.
Tridax procumbens is a medicinal plant with anti-inflammatory properties. It effectively reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, but its impact on allergic asthma remains unclear.
