Saffron and crocin ameliorate prenatal valproic acid-induced autistic-like behaviors and brain oxidative stress in the male offspring rats.

This study examined the effects of saffron and its active ingredient, crocin, on an animal model of autism. Results showed that saffron and crocin reduced behavioral abnormalities and oxidative stress in the brain. These findings suggest that saffron and crocin could be potential treatments for autism. However, more research is needed to confirm their efficacy.

Network pharmacology-based strategic prediction and target identification of apocarotenoids and carotenoids from standardized Kashmir saffron (Crocus sativus L.) extract against polycystic ovary syndrome.

Network pharmacology was used to identify therapeutic pathways of Crocus sativus extract for PCOS. Prominent targets and signaling pathways were found, suggesting the extract can regulate multiple pathways. Carotenoids and apocarotenoids in the extract are bioavailable and non-toxic.

Genome-wide identification of late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) protein family and their key regulatory network in Pinus tabuliformis cold acclimation.

Researchers identified and characterized 104 LEA genes in conifer P. tabuliformis. PtLEA22 was found to play a key role in cold acclimation and enhanced freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis. PtDREB1 was identified as a potential regulator of PtLEA22 expression. This study provides insights into the molecular mechanisms of cold acclimation in conifers.
