Structural characterization and protective effect against renal fibrosis of polysaccharide from Ligustrum lucidum Ait

Jia-Li Zhang et al.

Summary: This study extracted and isolated polysaccharides from Fructus Ligustri Lucidi (FLL) and demonstrated its protective effect against renal fibrosis. The polysaccharides showed inhibitory effects on fibrosis in both in vivo and in vitro fibrotic models. This suggests that the polysaccharides in FLL have the potential to protect the kidneys from fibrosis.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: An Update on Pathogenesis

Qianru Mei et al.

Summary: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal lung disease with limited understanding of its pathogenesis. Recent studies suggest that sustained lung epithelial injury and fibroblast differentiation play key roles in the development of IPF. Current treatments can slow disease progression but cannot cure it.

Apigenin inhibits isoproterenol-induced myocardial fibrosis and Smad pathway in mice by regulating oxidative stress and miR-122-5p/155-5p expressions

Feng Wang et al.

Summary: Apigenin, derived from Apium graveolens, effectively inhibits TGF-beta 1-induced cardiac fibroblasts differentiation and collagen synthesis. It also prevents isoproterenol-induced myocardial fibrosis in mice by regulating miR-122-5p and miR-155-5p expression and modulating HIF-1 alpha, c-Ski, Smads, and NF-kappa B/TGF-beta 1 signaling pathway. Moreover, apigenin enhances antioxidant ability to exert its antifibrotic effects.

Evolution of the adaptogenic concept from traditional use to medical systems: Pharmacology of stress- and aging-related diseases

Alexander G. Panossian et al.

Summary: Adaptogens are herbal medicinal and nutritional products promoting adaptability and survival in living organisms. They have pharmacologically pleiotropic effects on the neuroendocrine-immune system and exhibit a biphasic dose-effect response. Further research focusing on discovering new combinations of adaptogens and potential synergistic effects is needed to explore their full potential in treating stress and aging-related diseases.
