Oenothera biennis cell culture produce lignans activating Piezo1 triggering the Myosin Light Chain Kinase depending pathways.

Study finds that plant extract called ObHEx activates receptor Piezo1, which detects mechanical forces in body. Activation is regulated by protein MYLK, and the extract contains components Liriodendrin and Salvadoraside, highlighting potential use of natural extracts to activate Piezo1.

Molecular characterization of oleosin genes in Cyperus esculentus, a Cyperaceae plant producing oil in underground tubers.

Researchers discovered highly expressed genes (CeOLE) in tigernut tubers correlated with oil accumulation. Overexpressing these genes increased oil content in tobacco leaves, offering insights into improving tigernut oil production.

Cannabis constituents for chronic neuropathic pain; reconciling the clinical and animal evidence.

Recent preclinical studies suggest that THC-containing cannabis extracts have limited effectiveness and are associated with side effects. Therefore, it is important to focus on targeting channels and receptors other than cannabinoid CB1 receptors to improve the treatment of chronic neuropathic pain.
