Improvement in Yield of Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Edelweiss Callus Treated with LED Light and Enhancement of Skin Anti-Aging Indicators
In this study, the researchers used LED light to increase the productivity of Edelweiss EVs and confirmed that productivity was enhanced by LED exposure. Additionally, improvements in skin anti-aging indicators were observed. Notably, M-LED significantly elevated callus fresh and dry weight, with a DW/FW ratio of 4.11%, indicating enhanced proliferation. Furthermore, M-LED boosted secondary metabolite production, including a 20% increase in total flavonoids and phenolics. The study explores the influence of M-LED on EV production, revealing a 2.6-fold increase in concentration compared to darkness. This effect is consisten...

Exploring aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) as a target for Bisphenol-A (BPA)-induced pancreatic islet toxicity and impaired glucose homeostasis: protective efficacy of ethanol extract of Centella asiatica
Toxicology. 2023 Nov 30:153693. doi: 10.1016/j.tox.2023.153693. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe estrogenic impact of Bisphenol-A (BPA), a widely recognized endocrine disruptor, causes disruption of pancreatic β-cell function through estrogen receptors (ERs). While BPA's binding affinity for ERs is significantly lower than that of its natural counterpart, estrogen, recent observations of BPA's affinity for aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in specific cellular contexts have sparked a specific question: does AhR play a role in BPA's toxicological effects within the endocrine pancreas? To explore this question, we investigat...

In-silico and in-vitro screening of Asiatic acid and Asiaticoside A against Cathepsin S enzyme
CONCLUSION: This clearly shows that asiaticoside will be a better drug candidate than asiatic acid in inhibiting the CatS enzyme for the purpose of improving the outcome of atherosclerosis. However, certain modifications need to be made to the structural make-up of asiaticoside A to improve its pharmacokinetics properties.PMID:38007481 | DOI:10.1186/s40360-023-00701-x (Source: BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology)
