Silybin Cocrystals with Improved Solubility and Bioavailability.

Silymarin, an extract from milk thistle, is widely recognized for its therapeutic potential in treating liver disorders. However, its clinical utility is limited by the poor solubility and low bioavailability of its key active ingredient, Silybin. In this study, we sought to address this issue through the development of a novel cocrystal of Silyin.

Tianxiangdan (TXD) alleviates myocardial ischemia reperfusion-induced ferroptosis through the activation of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα).

Tianxiangdan (TXD), a traditional Chinese herbal remedy, demonstrates efficacy in mitigating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced damage. This study employed network pharmacology to evaluate the therapeutic targets and mechanisms of TXD in treating I/R. High-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) identified 86 compounds in TXD.

A NIR fluorescent probe based on carbamoyl oxime with high specificity for detecting ferrous ions in food and in vivo.

Ferrous ions (Fe), the primary form of iron in cells, play a crucial role in various biological processes. The presence and absorption of Fe in food has an important impact on human health. Proper dietary intake and iron supplementation are conducive to prevent and treat iron-related diseases.

Mesenchymal stromal cell exosomes for drug delivery of prostate cancer treatments: a review.

Interest in prostate cancer as a research topic has gradually increased. As a result, a series of innovative treatment strategies have emerged with an in-depth understanding of the disease. Owing to their unique biological characteristics, mesenchymal stromal cell exosomes (MSC-Exos) have garnered significant attention for their potential to deliver targeted drugs and enable precise prostate cancer treatment.

Genetically-modified activation strategy facilitates the discovery of sesquiterpene-derived metabolites from .

Genome mining has revealed that spp. possess numerous down-regulated or cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). This finding hinted that our investigation of fungal secondary metabolomes is limited.
