The usefulness of a dermocosmetic containing Myrtus communis extract and azelaic acid for maintenance phase of adult female acne: Results from a randomized exploratory investigator-blinded comparative study.

Researchers developed a new skin care product specifically for adult female acne, addressing the lack of long-term management studies. This could provide guidance for individuals and laboratories dealing with this common condition.

Investigation of biological activities of two cultivars of Cicer arietinum proteins mass associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Researchers tested the inhibition activity of chickpea protein from two cultivars against Alzheimer's disease (AD) proteins. They found that the proteins could inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with no activity on butyrylcholine esterase (BChE). Both varieties showed a suppressive effect on β-amyloid peptide (βA) accumulation and have biometal chelating activity. More notably, molecular docking revealed that vicilin and legumin have good potential to interact with AChE. These findings propose that chickpea protein may possess new therapeutic peptide candidates to treat Alzheimer's disease. Further experimental work is needed.
