Article Synopsis
  • * Four inorganic elements—manganese (Mn), bismuth (Bi), cadmium (Cd), and rubidium (Rb)—were identified as key markers that distinguish the two species, with specific content differences observed.
  • * The research provides insights into how these elemental differences could affect the medicinal properties of the plants and suggests a direction for future studies on their quality control and pharmacological effects.

Prunella vulgaris, aptly named for its withering at the summer solstice, displays significant variation in quality arising from differing harvest time. However, research on the chemical composition changes of its spikes at various stages is limited, and the specific metabolites remain unclear. In order to elucidate the metabolites and metabolic pathways of the spikes of P.

In managing unique complexities associated with Chinese medicinal quality assessment, metabolomics serves as an innovative tool. This study proposes an analytical approach to assess differing qualities of ()Hemsl by identifying potential biomarker metabolites and their activity with the corresponding secondary metabolites. The methodology includes four steps; first, a GC-MS based metabolomics exploration of the Hemsl.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an important role in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study is aimed to investigate the possible molecular mechanism of CD63 mediating CXCL8 delivery via EVs to affect astrocyte-neuron communication in PTSD. The neuron-derived EVs (NDEVs) and astrocyte-derived EVs (ADEVs) were isolated from plasma in PTSD patients.
