This research was designed to investigate the metabolite profiling, phenolics content, and the trypanocidal, nematicidal, antibacterial, antifungal, and free radical scavenging properties of Motyka. The air-dried material was extracted successively with dichloromethane and methanol (UlMeOH). Two phases were obtained from the extract with dichloromethane, one soluble in methanol (UlDCM-s) and the other insoluble (UlDCM-i).

Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypic switching plays a crucial role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Dehydrocorydaline (DHC), a major active component of the traditional Chinese herbal medicine Rhizoma Corydalis, exhibits diverse pharmacological effects. However, its impact on VSMCs remains largely unknown.

Background Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a multifaceted autoimmune disorder with diverse clinical presentations, among which hematological abnormalities often serve as early and critical indicators of disease. These manifestations, including anemia, leukopenia, lymphopenia, and thrombocytopenia, correlate with disease activity and provide essential diagnostic insights, particularly in resource-limited settings where access to advanced diagnostic tools may be constrained. This study emphasizes the significance of hematological findings that frequently appear at the initial presentation of SLE.

Immediately after invading their chosen host cell, the mature human erythrocyte, malaria parasites begin to export an array of proteins to this compartment, where they initiate processes that are prerequisite for parasite survival and propagation, including nutrient import and immune evasion. One consequence of these activities is the emergence of novel adhesive phenotypes that can lead directly to pathology in the human host. To identify parasite proteins involved in this process, we used modern genetic tools to target genes encoding 15 exported parasite proteins, selected by an in silico workflow.

The hypoxic microenvironment is crucial for tumour cell growth and invasiveness. Tumour tissue results from adaptation to reduced oxygen availability. Hypoxia first activates pro-angiogenic signals for alleviation.
