Polyherbal and Multimodal Treatments: Kaempferol- and Quercetin-Rich Herbs Alleviate Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease.

A review identified potential herbal treatments for Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Common herbs rich in kaempferol and quercetin show promise in reducing plaque formation, suppressing oxidative stress, and modulating signaling pathways. A polyherbal cocktail of these compounds could be a potential alternative treatment for AD.

Conserved and non-conserved RNA-target modules in plants: lessons for a better understanding of Marchantia development.

Scientists discuss the role of regulatory non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the development of the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha. They highlight conserved and specific ncRNA-target modules and suggest the need for further research to understand the molecular mechanisms that control ncRNA-directed developmental processes.

Poisoning in ruminants caused by species of the genus Cestrum L. (Solanaceae) in Brazil: A review of toxicological and phytochemical evidence.

This study reviews Cestrum species causing poisoning in Brazilian livestock. Cestrum axillare, C. corymbosum, C. intermedium, and C. parqui are the main toxic plants. They cause liver damage and acute liver failure in animals. Chemical constituents like saponins and terpenoids are associated with poisoning, but more research is needed.
