Taxonomic Distribution of Medicinal Plants for Alzheimer’s Disease: A Cue to Novel Drugs
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder manifested by decline in memory and mild cognitive impairment leading to dementia. Despite global occurrence of AD, the severity and hence onset of dementia vary among different regions, which was correlated with the customary use of medicinal herbs and exposure level to the causatives.

Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptor 1 Specifically Labels Seizure-Induced Hippocampal Reactive Neural Stem Cells and Regulates Their Division [PDF]
A population of neural stem cells (NSCs) dwelling in the dentate gyrus (DG) is able to generate neurons throughout adult life in the hippocampus of most mammals. These NSCs generate also astrocytes naturally and are capable of generating oligodendrocytes

Gintonin facilitates catecholamine secretion from the perfused adrenal medulla
The present study was designed to investigate the characteristics of gintonin, one of components isolated from Korean Ginseng on secretion of catecholamines (CA) from the isolated perfused model of rat adrenal gland and to clarify its mechanism of action.

Gintonin enhances epithelial barrier function by activating NRF2 pathway in radiation-induced intestinal injury. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Because the intestine is a radio-sensitive organ in the body, and radiation-induced intestinal injury is a major clinical problem associated with radiotherapy or radiological accidents. Dysfunction of the epithelial barrier leads to bacterial translocation to other organs, resulting in severe inflammation.
