The study investigates the therapeutic effects of Thunbergia alata and Thunbergia erecta flowers on diclofenac-induced renal injury. Secondary metabolite characterization by positive mode high-resolution-ESI (LC-HR-ESI-MS) was followed by assessing their renal protection against diclofenac-induced damage and molecular docking studies.

Consequently, green biosynthesis, which employs biopolymers, is gaining attraction as an environmentally sound alternative to less sustainable approaches. Chitosan-encapsulated nanoparticles exhibit exceptional antibacterial properties, offering a wide range of uses.

One of the main issues that still exists is impaired wound healing, particularly for immunosuppressed patients. Recently, natural products from marine environments have been employed in wound-repairing activities.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFImpaired skin wound healing is still a major challenge, especially with immunocompromised patients who express delayed healing and are susceptible to infections. Injection of rat-derived bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) via the tail vein accelerates cutaneous wound healing via their paracrine activity. The present work aimed to investigate the combined wound-healing potential of BMMSCs and algae extract in immunocompromised rats.

The incidence of aphthous ulcer recurrence is very high and it may even last for a maximum of 6 days and usually, patients cannot stand its pain. This study aims to prepare a buccoadhesive fast dissolving film containing seed extract to treat recurrent minor aphthous ulceration (RMAU) in addition to clinical experiments on human volunteers.
