Anti-arthritic efficacy of Bombax ceiba ethanolic extract in a murine model for rheumatoid arthritis using in vivo, in vitro and radiological analysis.

Researchers investigated the anti-arthritis effects of an ethanolic extract in a murine model. The extract significantly reduced inflammation, cytokine levels, and histopathological changes associated with arthritis. This study supports the traditional use of the extract for arthritis treatment.

Comparative RNA-seq analysis of resistant and susceptible banana genotypes reveals molecular mechanisms in response to banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) infection.

This study analyzed the response of resistant and susceptible banana genotypes to banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) infection. They identified common defense responses and specific genes related to resistance and susceptibility. The findings can help in breeding programs and developing disease-resistant banana cultivars.

Cardioprotective Role of Tinospora cordifolia against Trimethylamine-NOxide and Glucose Induced Stress in Rat Cardiomyocytes.

Researchers investigated the relationship between gut microbiota, metabolites, and cardiac contractility in type 2 diabetes. They found that dysbiosis of gut microbiota and secretion of metabolites can directly harm cardiac contractility. This information is important for understanding the causes of diabetic cardiomyopathy and improving patient safety.

Effect of hydroalcoholic extract of Trigonella foenum-graecum leaves on wound healing in type 1 diabetic rats.

This study evaluated the effect of 500mg/kg hydroalcoholic extract of leaves on wound healing in diabetic rats. Results showed improved wound healing, better tensiometric indices, accelerated wound contraction, faster re-epithelialisation, improved neovascularisation, better modulation of fibroblasts and macrophages, and moderate collagen formation.

Brassica oleracea L. extract ameliorates isoproterenol- induced myocardial injury by regulating HIF-1α-mediated glycolysis.

Researchers analyzed the constituents of Brassica oleracea L. leaf extract (BOE) and found that it can inhibit cardiac cell hypertrophy, reduce harmful substances in the body, increase mitochondrial function, and decrease apoptosis-related proteins. This suggests that BOE may protect against myocardial cell injury.
