Neuroprotective Effect of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles Loaded with Lepidium sativum (L.) Seed Bioactive Components Enhance Bioavailability and Wnt/β-Catenin/Camk-II Signaling Cascade in SH-SY5Y Neuroblastoma Cells.

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNps) loaded with seed extract show potential as a therapeutic approach for Alzheimer's disease by increasing bioavailability and efficacy in preventing oxidative stress-induced neurodegeneration. LS-SLNps exhibit neuroprotective effects, boost cell proliferation, and stimulate nerve cell growth factor expression.

Green Synthesis of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles, Characterization, and Their Neuroprotective Effect on Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Oxidative Injury in Human Neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) Cell Line.

Scientists synthesized cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeONPs) from () leaf extract, known for neuroprotective properties. CeONPs showed antioxidant activity and protected human neuroblastoma cells from oxidative stress-induced damage and apoptosis. CeONPs could be valuable in treating neurodegenerative disorders.

Polyamines in Edible and Medicinal Fungi from Serbia: A Novel Perspective on Neuroprotective Properties.

Certain fungi from Serbia have neuroprotective and antioxidant properties due to polysaccharides and phenolic compounds. Some fungi exhibit strong anti-AChE activity possibly related to high polyamine levels, requiring further study.

Hemerocallis citrina Baroni ameliorates chronic sleep deprivation-induced cognitive deficits and depressive-like behaviours in mice.

Hemerocallis citrina extract (HCE) was given to sleep-deprived mice. HCE improved cognitive function, reduced depression-like behaviors, and decreased inflammation in the hippocampus. HCE may be useful in preventing and treating cognitive decline and depression caused by sleep deprivation.
