Phytochemical Extract from Carica papaya Leaves and Punica granatum Seeds as Therapy Against Cognitive Impairment in a Murine Model.

Scientists identified potential compounds, carpaine and punicalagin, in Carica papaya leaves and Punica granatum, that may improve cognition. These compounds were tested on rats, which showed improved memory and reduced GFAP expression in the hippocampus. Promising candidates for treating MCI and MND. (44 words, 260 characters)

Green synthesized silver nanoparticles mediated by Fusarium nygamai isolate AJTYC1: characterizations, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, and photocatalytic activities and cytogenetic effects.

Scientists used a green method to produce silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and found that they have various promising properties. AgNPs showed antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activity, as well as the ability to decolorize dyes. This method could contribute to disease treatment and reduce wastewater dye contamination.
