Inhaling geranium essential oil reduced pain, anxiety, and stress in lumbar spinal stenosis patients. It may be a helpful additional therapy for pain and psychological factors.
Compound saucerneol from [unspecified source] is a promising antiviral against Enterovirus A71, coxsackievirus A16, and coxsackievirus B3. It suppresses virus replication, relieves pancreatitis, and activates the STING/TBK-1/IRF3 pathway. Further research is needed on safety and effectiveness for antiviral strategies.
Indian almond leaf extract (TCE) with high flavonoid and phenolic content showed antioxidant and antiaging effects in obese worms. TCE inhibited lipid and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and prolonged lifespan by downregulating atgl-1, daf-16, and skn-1 genes. TCE may have potential for antiaging under metabolic disorders.
Scientists analyzed the metabolome and transcriptome of purple taro leafstalks, discovering 187 flavonoids and 5 anthocyanins at higher concentrations than green leafstalks. This research provides insights into the color mechanism of purple taro leafstalks.
This study found that using pulsed electric field (PEF) extraction increased the yield of extract and enhanced its antimicrobial properties. The leaf extract showed stronger effects against body odor and acne. The findings suggest the potential of PEF-extracted extract for acne treatment and deodorant use.
Plant extracts showed strong antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi, including drug-resistant strains, and worked well with fluconazole. They could be a sustainable solution for infections.
Scientists developed photoperiod-insensitive oats that can grow and flower under short-day conditions by studying MADS-box genes that regulate plant flowering. This finding has important implications for improving oat cultivation and understanding flowering mechanisms in crop plants.
