This study investigated the effects of olive oil extract on colorectal cancer cells and bone marrow-derived stem cells. Results showed reduced cell migration and colony formation, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits against colorectal cancer.
This study found the best conditions for extracting phenolic compounds from walnut green husks using a method called salting-out extraction. The optimal conditions resulted in higher phenolic content and antioxidant activity compared to conventional methods. This research is important for extraction techniques and utilizing agricultural waste.
Researchers studied the main component in saffron, PCS-1, and its effect on a potential therapeutic target for depression called AMPK. They found that PCS-1 has antidepressive properties by activating AMPK. This suggests that targeting AMPK could be beneficial for treating depression.
Parthenolide, a plant extract, can alleviate testicular toxicity caused by paclitaxel, reducing oxidative stress and improving antioxidant levels and gene expression related to reproduction in rats, potentially offering a treatment for PTX-induced testicular damage.
Researchers explored the pain-relieving effects of Wikstroemia indica, a medicinal plant with numerous benefits but no previous studies on analgesic properties. This finding holds significance for those seeking natural alternatives for pain relief.
The study examined the toxic mechanisms of Ageratina adenophora (a invasive plant) using multiomics approach. The main toxic compounds were identified, and metabolites involved in amino acid and lipid metabolism were found. The plant induces liver inflammatory damage and affects nutrient metabolism and neuron conduction.
