Researchers studied the use of plant-based remedies and other treatments for livestock diseases in Mozambique. They found 38 common remedies and emphasized the importance of preserving traditional knowledge for sustainable livestock management.
Researchers studied the potential of Linn. (Ciplukan) as an alternative topical therapy for psoriasis vulgaris. It possesses anti-inflammatory properties that could replace long-term use of corticosteroids with associated side effects.
In this study, researchers found that immature persimmon extract (DKE) reduced weight gain and fat tissue in obese mice on a high-fat diet. It also improved lipid levels in the blood, gene expression in the liver, and inhibited enzymes related to fat synthesis. This suggests that DKE can help with obesity by modulating lipid metabolism.
Genomic data for blackcurrant, red currant, white currant, and gooseberry is currently limited, hindering their classification and breeding. This research addresses that gap, which may lead to improved crops and scientific understanding.
Solasonine, a compound found in L., has shown anticancer effects on various cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aims to uncover its biological target and mechanism in NSCLC.
Study investigated the effects of macleaya cordata extract (MCE) on the gut microbiota and host interactions in young goats. Results suggest MCE has potential as an antibiotic alternative.
Researchers used seed extract to synthesize copper nanoparticles that effectively remove hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) from water. The nanoparticles also removed textile dyes and showed antimicrobial activity. This has applications for water treatment and biological uses.
This study shows that stress in plant cells affects RNA editing, specifically in the mitochondria gene responsible for the b subunit of ATP synthase. Polar edits in the b subunit help stabilize the complex and potentially impact ATPase activity, suggesting they aim to restore the active protein.
