Phytoremediation by trees as a nature-based solution for mitigating metal contamination in urban soils
This study examined trace metal contamination of urban soils and trees in six cities in the Republic of Srpska (RS), Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and investigated the potential of selected tree species for phytoremediation as a NBS for metal-polluted urban soils. Contamination of urban soils was assessed by quantifying the concentrations of 11 trace metals (B, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, and Zn). To estimate phytoremediation potential of urban tree species, concentration and bioconcentration factor of the 11 metals were quantified in leaves of three common and abundant tree species: Aesculus hippocastanum L. (horse...

Deciphering the Molecular Mechanism of Escin against Neuropathic Pain: A Network Pharmacology Study
CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed that escin acts on the core targets SRC, MMP9, PTGS2, MAPK1, and associated enrichment pathways to alleviate neuronal inflammation and regulate the immune response, thus exerting anti-NP efficacy. This study provided innovative ideas and methods for the promising treatment of escin in relieving NP.PMID:37876856 | PMC:PMC10593550 | DOI:10.1155/2023/3734861 (Source: Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine)
