Study finds extract with anti-asthmatic effects, reducing symptoms and improving lung function in rats. Extract shows antioxidant, anti-inflammatory activities and induces autophagy while inhibiting apoptosis. Could be developed as anti-allergic asthma drug.
Twenty genotypes of betel vine were characterized for bio-compounds. Phenolic compounds and organic acids were identified, with male genotypes having higher content. Some genotypes had the highest phenolic content, making the chemical profile useful for gender differentiation and commercial cultivation.
N. nucifera leaf extracts and Q3G improved cognition and reduced apoptosis in scopolamine-induced cognitive impairment by regulating the BDNF signaling pathway and promoting neurogenesis in the hippocampus. Important for lab decisions.
Genus has medicinal properties and over 2500 species. Its chemical makeup includes various compounds with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, liver protective, and blood sugar and lipid management properties. This supports its traditional uses.
Scientists studied Brassica oleracea to understand its rapid evolution and domestication. They identified structural variations (SVs) that affect gene expression, providing evidence for how these SVs drive the diversification and domestication of B. oleracea.
Ginkgo biloba leaf extract (GBE) inhibits photosynthesis in Prorocentrum donghaiense, leading to a decline in algal cell photosynthesis. Understanding this mechanism is crucial for preventing and controlling harmful algal blooms.
Researchers have sequenced the genome of the waterlily aphid, a unique aphid species that can thrive in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. This high-quality reference genome will help us understand aphid evolution, host plant adaptation, and develop pest control strategies.
