Drynaria roosii-derived exosome-like nanovesicles promote alveolar socket healing via activation of ITPR3-mediated calcium flux [PDF]

Journal of Nanobiotechnology
Alveolar socket healing post-extraction is accompanied by alveolar bone loss, which is negative to subsequent prosthetic rehabilitation. Plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles are extracellular vehicles with great potential for disease treatment and are

Sonochemical synthesis of chalcone-functionalized SnS and SnS2 with improved sonocatalytic activity [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Herein we present a novel method of functionalization of sonochemically obtained SnS and SnS2. For that purpose, a yellow-orange synthetic dye, chalcone 1,5-bis-(4-dimethylamino-phenyl)-penta-1,4-dien-3-one, was obtained via ultrasound-assisted synthesis

trans-Chalcone protects male rats against high-fat emulsion-induced pancreatic injury by inhibiting TNF-α and MCP-1 expression [PDF]

مجله پزشکی دانشگاه علوم پزشکی تبریز, 2023
Background. High-fat diet (HFD) intake is linked to ectopic fat deposition in the pancreas. It also causes pancreatic inflammatory lesions. trans-Chalcone is a simple chalcone with protective effects against HFD-induced metabolic disorders.

Trans-chalcone enhances insulin sensitivity through the miR-34a/SIRT1 pathway [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2018
Objective(s): Trans-chalcone as the parent member of the chalcone series reduces circulating levels of insulin and glucose. However, the cellular mechanism of these effects is poorly understood.

The solubility and stability of heterocyclic chalcones compared with trans-chalcone [PDF]

Acta Crystallographica Section B Structural Science, Crystal Engineering and Materials, 2020
Heterocyclic chalcones are a recently explored subgroup of chalcones that have sparked interest due to their significant antibacterial and antifungal capabilities. Herein, the structure and solubility of two such compounds, (E)-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-3-(thiophen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one and (E)-3-phenyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one, are assessed.

Protective Role of trans-Chalcone against the Progression from Simple Steatosis to Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis: Regulation of miR-122, 21, 34a, and 451 [PDF]

Advanced Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2022
Purpose: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an inflammatory disorder and an aggressive form of fatty liver disease. Certain microRNAs, including miR-122, 21, 34a, and 451, are involved in the transition from steatosis to NASH.
