Phytochemical Composition and Wound Healing Properties of Echinacea angustifolia DC. Root Hydroalcoholic Extract

Echinacea angustifolia, a traditional medicinal plant, was studied for its wound-healing abilities using laboratory tests. Scientists found that the plant extract contains powerful antioxidant compounds, particularly one called echinacoside, and can help skin cells move and multiply to close wounds faster. The extract also reduces inflammation and protects cells from damage, supporting its long-standing traditional use for treating wounds and burns.

Functionalized Micellar Membranes from Medicinal Mushrooms as Promising Self-Growing Bioscaffolds

Researchers created special membranes from medicinal mushrooms that could be used for wound healing and skin repairs. These membranes were grown in laboratory conditions and then treated with mango peel extract, which gave them antimicrobial properties to fight bacteria. The membranes are biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and work similar to the structure of skin tissue, making them promising for medical applications.

Identification of two novel thiazolidin-2-imines as tyrosinase inhibitors: synthesis, crystal structure, molecular docking and DFT studies

Scientists created two new chemical compounds that are much better at slowing down the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for skin darkening and browning of foods. These compounds were tested both in the lab and using computer models, and they worked about 14 times better than kojic acid, a commonly used anti-darkening ingredient. The research suggests these new compounds could be useful in cosmetics, food preservation, and treating skin conditions like unwanted pigmentation.
