Hormonal crosstalk controls cell death induced by kinetin in roots of Vicia faba ssp. minor seedlings.

This study investigates the hormonal background of kinetin-regulated cell death in the cortex of faba bean roots. Results suggest that specific hormone interactions induce cell death, providing a valuable model for further studies on plant cell death.

Anti-tumor effect of Crocus sativus petals polysaccharides by reconstructing tumor microenvironment.

The polysaccharide PCSPB from Crocus sativus petals inhibits tumor growth, induces tumor cell death and disrupts blood vessels. It also modulates immune cells to promote anti-tumor activity.

Anti-Amyloid β Aggregation Activity and Cell Viability Effect of Betacyanins from Red Pitahaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus) for Alzheimer's Disease.

Betacyanins from red pitahaya have anti-Aβ aggregation activity, with betanin, phyllocactin, and hylocerenin showing the highest activity. These compounds could potentially be used to protect against Alzheimer's disease.
