Ethanol Extract Exerts Anti-inflammatory Effects on Murine RAW264 Cells.

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of ethanol extract (BTEE) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in RAW264 cells. BTEE significantly attenuated LPS-induced nitric oxide production and inflammatory cytokines release, including , , and . On the other hand, several anti-inflammatory mediators, such as and , were increased in BTEE-treated cells.

Microalgae extract induces antidepressant-like activity via neuroinflammation regulation and enhances the neurotransmitter system.

The increasing prevalence of mental disorders, such as depression, is currently a serious public health concern. Microalgae are a diverse group of organisms that contain many bioactive compounds such as polyunsaturated fatty acids and polyphenols. These compounds can exhibit many health benefits such as antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and anti-obesity effects.

Elucidation of the Potential Hair Growth-Promoting Effect of , Its Novel Compound Methylated-Meijicoccene, and C32 Botryococcene on Cultured Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells Using DNA Microarray Gene Expression Analysis.

A person's quality of life can be adversely affected by hair loss. Microalgae are widely recognized for their abundance and rich functional components. Here, we evaluated the hair growth effect of a green alga, (), in vitro using hair follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPCs).
