Novel molecular mechanisms for the adaptogenic effects of herbal extracts on isolated brain cells using systems biology

This in vitro study explored the molecular mechanisms underlying the adaptogenic effects of five herbal extracts—Rhodiola rosea, Eleutherococcus senticosus, Withania somnifera, Rhaponticum carthamoides, and Bryonia alba—on human neuroglia cells. Using RNA sequencing, researchers identified over 3,500 genes modulated by these herbs, including 88 genes linked to adaptive stress-response pathways such

Ameliorative Effects of Phytomedicines on Alzheimer’s Patients

This review investigates the neuroprotective effects of six phytomedicines—Panax ginseng, Ginkgo biloba, Bacopa monnieri, Withania somnifera, Curcuma longa, and Lavandula angustifolia—against Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The study highlights how these plants and their active components can help reverse neurological changes in AD, such as amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, and improve
