Pomegranate (Punica granatum) peels have shown numerous health benefits such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities. These health activities are owed to the unique phytochemical components present in pomegranate peels. Variations in the pomegranate cultivar, geographical region, and extraction methods significantly affect the phytochemical composition and concentrations of pomegranate fruits and their peels, hence their health outcomes.

Introduction: Malaysian stingless bee honey () has been aroused as a potential antimicrobial compound with antibiofilm activity. The capability of the gram-negative bacillus to sustain a fatal infection is encoded in the bacterium genome.
Methods: In the current study, a transcriptome investigation was performed to explore the mechanism underlying the biofilm dispersal of after the exposure to honey.
Aim: The study evaluated the effect of different concentrations of sildenafil-containing ointment on wound healing in healthy and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.
Methods: A total of 108 Sprague Dawley male rats aged 5 months were randomly divided into two groups: healthy and diabetes-inducing rats. Following induction of diabetes by intraperitoneal STZ injection (55 mg/kg), diabetic and healthy rats were subdivided into six groups (9 rats each).
Article Synopsis
- This study examined the effects of Moringa peregrina leaf extract on the immune system of Balb/c mice, focusing on both in vivo and ex vivo conditions.
- The research involved five groups of mice that received varying doses of the extract, and assessments were conducted six days later, measuring various health and immune parameters.
- Findings revealed that the extract significantly boosted body weight, lymphoid organ weight, and several blood cell counts, while enhancing the activity of immune cells, indicating its potential as an effective immunomodulatory agent even at low doses.
