Article Synopsis
- Brassicaceae plants, like traditional Croatian kale and wild cabbage, are rich in healthy phytochemicals that may benefit human health, particularly their antioxidant and anticancer properties.
- The study employed techniques like spectrophotometry and LC-MS/MS to analyze phenolic compounds, finding sinapic acid to be the most abundant in both plant extracts, with wild cabbage having higher levels.
- Both extracts demonstrated a significant ability to inhibit the growth of HeLa cancer cells without affecting normal skin cells, with wild cabbage showing effects at a lower concentration.
The accumulation of senescent cells in tissues alters tissue homeostasis and affects wound healing. It is also considered to be the main contributing factor to aging. In addition to losing their ability to divide, senescent cells exert detrimental effects on surrounding tissues through their senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTerminal repeat retrotransposons in miniature (TRIMs) are small non-autonomous LTR retrotransposons consisting of two terminal direct repeats surrounding a short internal domain. The detection and characterization of these elements has been mainly limited to plants. Here we present the first finding of a TRIM element in bivalves, and among the first known in the kingdom Animalia.
