Researchers developed a hydrogel using natural compounds that promotes wound healing in diabetic mice by enhancing angiogenesis, reducing inflammation, and promoting collagen regeneration. This discovery may lead to new diabetic wound treatments.
Zinc oxide nanoparticles from plant extract show antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antiproliferative properties, with potential for drug research and targeted cancer treatments.
Genome sequence of strain EL101 isolated from tree bark in Malaysia. Circular chromosome, linear chromid, and 2 plasmids. Potential for new genetic insights and biotechnological applications.
New compounds and sterols isolated from plant root exhibited moderate antioxidant and antibacterial activities, showing potential for use in pharmaceuticals and health products. Antibacterial activity against specific strains at low concentrations. Concentration-dependent effectiveness.
Solid-state fermentation of soybeans increases polyphenol content, which can combat Alzheimer's disease. Conditions: 12 days fermentation, 15% inoculation, initial pH 2. Results: 4.98x free polyphenols, 2.38x bound polyphenols, 4.16x total phenols compared to unfermented soybeans. Free polyphenols inhibit acetylcholinesterase by 91.51%.
Study examined antiviral activity of extracts from two plants against avian flu. Nano formulation of fruit extract showed highest potency. Specific flavonoids in extracts had strong binding to essential flu proteins. Potential for new antiviral agent.
Scientists identified octyl gallate from L. extract using advanced chromatography techniques. OG showed significant anti-colon cancer effects in cell lines and mouse models by inhibiting proliferation, inducing apoptosis, and suppressing migration. This research presents a promising approach for developing novel colon cancer therapies.
Research developed a stable silver nanoparticle gel with bixin to potentially treat skin cancer. Could lead to more effective and stable plant-based anticancer treatments.
