In Vitro TNF-α Inhibitory Activity of Brazilian Plants and Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Stryphnodendron adstringens in an Acute Arthritis Model. [PDF]
Stryphnodendron species, popularly named “barbatimão,” are traditionally used in Brazil as anti‐inflammatory agents. This study aimed to investigate the effect of barbatimão and 11 other species on the production of tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) in lipopolysaccharide‐ (LPS‐) stimulated THP‐1 cells, as well as their anti‐arthritis activity.

Use of Flavonoids and Cinnamates, the Main Photoprotectors with Natural Origin. [PDF]
Many pathological problems are initiated by ultraviolet radiation (UVR), such as skin cancer, the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. The UVA (320–400 nm) and UVB (290–320 nm) wavelengths may cause effects such as photoaging, DNA damage, and a series of cellular alterations.

Mutation of Cultural Information on the Use of Plant Complexes in Local Medical Systems
Despite being an affable strategy of adaptive expectation, the transmission of cultural information can result in unintended changes in the information. This is known as “mutation” in the theory of cultural evolution. The occurrence of information mutations in local medical systems may be greater in some situations.
