Scientists studied Eucommia ulmoides, a tree in China known for its medicinal properties. It can prevent osteoporosis and arthritis, and help heal bone fractures. Useful for potential medical treatments.
Scientists isolated five new glycosides from plant culms. One compound showed strong antioxidant activity, potentially useful for fighting free radicals.
Researchers analyzed essential oils and phenolic compounds in different parts of a plant. Extracts showed potential for diabetes, Alzheimer's, and antioxidant properties. Specific compounds and activities were identified. Extracts were found to be safe.
Phytochemicals from plants like celastrol and resveratrol can target autophagy and ER stress to induce cancer cell death. Understanding how different phytochemicals interact with these processes can help develop new anticancer drugs. However, more research is needed for clinical applications.
New species of Lactuca (L. anatolica) showed stronger antioxidant properties compared to L. sativa (LS). Both inhibited cancer cell growth and induced apoptosis, suggesting pharmacological potential for further research.
