Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are caused by progressive neuronal death and cognitive decline. Epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG) is a polyphenolic molecule in green tea as a neuroprotective agent. This review evaluates the therapeutic effects of EGCG and explores the molecular mechanisms that show its neuroprotective properties.

The historical appreciation of tea dates back to ancient times, while technological limitations have long hindered in-depth exploration of its flavor complexity and functional attributes. This study investigated the effects of various teas on a traditional delicacy, "tea-flavored fish", using teas processed via traditional methods. Analysis of functional components revealed that processing and fermentation reduced catechin levels (186.

This study aimed to prepare films using Xyloglucan (Xylo) and tea extract (TE) to treat aphthous stomatitis without causing discomfort. Xylo, which gelates by adding polyphenol, was used as a gelation agent, and TE, which contains epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) with antioxidant properties, was used as an active pharmaceutical agent. Two kinds of films, hydrogel and xerogel films, were prepared by mixing various amounts of Xylo and TE.

This study focuses on the development and application of tea polyphenol-loaded chitosan/polyaspartic acid nanoparticles (TP@CS/PASP-Nps) embedded within polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers to extend the shelf life of fruit. The nanofibers were fabricated using electrospinning, which enhanced the stability and uniform dispersion of the nanoparticles. Experimental results demonstrated that the TP@CS/PASP nanoparticles exhibit significant pH and protease-responsive release of TP, with a cumulative release of 56.

Dermal papilla cells (DPCs) are crucial for the growth and development of hair follicles (HF). (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the primary catechin identified in green tea, which has antioxidant effects and regulates cell activity. This study demonstrates that EGCG could promote the proliferation of DPCs.
