Angelica sinensis polysaccharides promote extramedullary stress erythropoiesis via ameliorating splenic glycolysis and EPO/STAT5 signaling-regulated macrophages.

Angelica sinensis polysaccharides (ASP) protect against anemia induced by chemotherapy, promote extramedullary erythropoiesis, and improve glycolysis via PI3K/Akt/HIF2α signaling. ASP enhances splenic macrophage activity, erythroid progenitor expansion, and erythroid differentiation, making it a promising treatment for stress anemia.

Cannabidiol and Neurodegeneration: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Benefits.

Researchers studied the role of cannabidiol (CBD) in treating neurodegenerative disorders through its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. CBD shows promise in inhibiting protein aggregation, free radicals, and neuroinflammation, making it a potential therapeutic option for conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Passion fruit HD-ZIP genes: Characterization, expression variance, and overexpression PeHB31 enhanced drought tolerance via lignin pathway.

Researchers identified and studied 34 HD-ZIP genes in passion fruit, finding PeHB31 enhances drought tolerance in transgenic plants by increasing lignin content. This could lead to improved understanding of lignin biosynthesis control mechanisms.

Centipeda minima and 6-O-angeloylplenolin enhance the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in non-small cell lung cancer.

Chemotherapy drugs like cisplatin, gemcitabine, and pemetrexed boost immune checkpoint inhibitor efficacy in lung cancer, but low response rates and side effects hinder widespread use.
