Article Synopsis
- Ginsenosides, active compounds in ginseng, have long been used as natural medicines in the East and are gaining popularity in the West due to their beneficial effects.
- While there's extensive literature on their pharmacological benefits, there are limited studies on their pharmacokinetics, which is crucial for understanding their efficacy and safety.
- This review focuses on the pharmacokinetic behaviors of ginsenosides in animal models, providing insights for developing better dosing strategies and delivery methods.
Recent studies on a quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) charge-density-wave (CDW) system, In atomic wires on Si(111), have brought intriguing issues on topological solitons in quasi-1D systems: the existence of few-atom-sized solitons, chirality of solitons, and the realization of logic exploiting the chirality switching. Using scanning tunneling microscopy and first-principles calculations, we show that the previously reported "short" phase-flip defects are In adatoms and thus have nonsolitonic nature, resolving the controversy over the existence of highly localized solitons. The observed "long" phase-flip and phase-slip defects are genuine solitons with and without chirality, respectively.
