A novel microcapsule composite Spherulites Peony Superior Retinol mitigates UVB‐induced skin damage in vitro and in vivo

Photochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 1468-1479, November/December 2025.
This study explored the role of a novel microcapsule composite Spherulites Peony Superior Retinol (SPSR) on skin damage induced by UVB. The results of in vitro and human efficacy assays further demonstrate that SPSR is beneficial in replenishing skin hydration, promoting epidermal cell growth, soothing skin redness and sensitivity, reducing ROS ...

Innovative Tree Peony and Herbaceous Peony Germplasm Display Balls with High Application Potential

Horticulturae
Paeonia suffruticosa Andr. (tree peony) and Paeonia lactiflora Pall. (herbaceous peony) are traditional Chinese flowers with great ornamental value. To maintain the aesthetic value and show the characteristics of these species, preserved flowers named ‘germplasm display balls’ were developed. Firstly, dried flowers were obtained by vacuum freeze-drying.

Modulation of Aging Diseases via RAGE Targets: A Dietary Intervention Review

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 38, October 13, 2025.
This paper analyzes RAGE ligand‐binding mechanisms and signaling, proposing intervention strategies targeting these interactions. It emphasizes dietary polyphenols, polysaccharides, and terpenoids delivered via functional foods for anti‐aging. These compounds offer long‐term, safe intervention through dietary supplementation, providing dual nutritional
