Physospermum cornubienseL. alleviates nociceptive and neuropathic pain: Evidences and possible mechanisms.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: In Iranian/Persian folkloric medicine, Physospermum cornubiense (Shokaran Baghi in Persian) is used for the treatment of pain and inflammation.

Objective: This modern examination included Swiss mice to investigate the anti-neuropathic and anti-nociceptive effects of Physospermum cornubiense essential oil (PCEO).

Materials And Methods: To determine PCEO 's anti-nociceptive function in formalin-induced paw licking (FML) paradigm, researchers looked at the arginine-nitric oxide and potassium channels pathway in addition to involvements of more specific examples of receptors such as adrenergic, opioid, cannabinoid, peroxisome proliferator-activated (PPA), and transient receptor potential vanilloid.

Human blastoids model blastocyst development and implantation.

One week after fertilization, human embryos implant into the uterus. This event requires the embryo to form a blastocyst consisting of a sphere encircling a cavity lodging the embryo proper. Stem cells can form a blastocyst model that we called a blastoid.

Metformin attenuates expression of angiogenic and inflammatory genes in human endometriotic stromal cells.

Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease that is manifested by the presence and growth of endometrial cells and glands outside the uterine. Active angiogenesis, migration, and invasion of endometrial tissue outside the uterine are critical for the development of endometriosis and lead to the survival and growth of endometriotic lesions. Metformin, as an anti-diabetic agent, represents anti-angiogenic property.
