This review explores Dracaena trifasciata, known as mother-in-law's tongue, detailing its botanical properties, traditional medicinal uses, and the pharmacological and phytochemical characteristics observed in various studies.

This study found that ingesting seeds from the Lecythis ollaria tree may cause hair loss and other toxic effects in animals.

This study found that the MsPG3-GFP fusion protein accumulates at the growing root hair tips in Medicago plants, suggesting its role in tip growth during symbiosis.

This study suggests that the transcription factor PDF2 in Arabidopsis may link lipid sensing with growth responses to phosphate starvation by acting as a sensor for lyso-PCs through its START domain.

This study suggests that Myrtus communis shows promising effects for various conditions like GERD, menstrual bleeding, and wound healing in clinical trials, though some adverse effects may occur with systemic administration of myrtle essential oil.

In this study, a topical application of Lotus corniculatus seed extract significantly reduced sebum production and skin oiliness in humans through inhibition of lipid synthesis pathways.

This study found that Piper nigrum leaf extract showed in vivo anti-androgenic activity and potent 5α-reductase inhibitory effects, with piperine and (−)-cubebin identified as active components.

This study tested a natural hair dye made from papaya seed extract, celery leaf, and avocado, finding color change in animal hair but also noting tissue changes like hyperkeratosis.

This study suggested that an herbal shampoo containing Piper betle and Psidium guajava leaves extract may promote hair growth due to its antioxidant properties and showed stability for two months.

This study used light sheet fluorescence microscopy to successfully image and analyze calcium oscillations in the root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana, finding that these oscillations correlate with the root hair growth rate and that auxin affects these properties.

Adding bentonite clays to goat diets increased milk yield, periwinkle shell improved chicken egg production, and vaccination increased muscle area and carcass yield in calves.

This study suggests that 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)-, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester from African Yam bean seeds may inhibit the human 5α-reductase II enzyme, potentially helping manage BPH, although further studies are needed.

This study explores the medicinal and environmental applications of Physalis species, highlighting the wound healing properties of Physalis angulata L. and the antibacterial and antitumor activities of its fruit extracts.

In this study, researchers analyzed the chemical constituents of male and female Gynostemma longipes plants and different parts like roots and leaves, identifying significant variations in metabolites which could aid in assessing and selecting quality medicinal materials.

This study found that biostimulant application in lettuce cultivation led to significant yield and phytochemical enhancements, with effects varying between green and red cultivars depending on the treatment method used.

This review discusses the ethnobotanical use and bioactivity of Eclipta prostrata, highlighting its potential in treating various conditions and linking its effects to secondary metabolites.

In this laboratory study, the methanolic extract of Eclipta alba demonstrated significant anthelmintic activity against earthworms (Pheretima posthuma), causing paralysis and death at doses of 50-100 mg/ml, with stronger effects observed at higher concentrations compared to the standard treatment, albendazole.

This study provides genomic and epigenomic insights into the white wax scale insect, highlighting high methylation levels and differential hormone profiles linked to its sexual dimorphism and developmental differences.

This study challenges the idea that tarantulas produce silk from their feet to steady themselves during falls, suggesting instead that the hairs on their feet are chemosensors secreting lymph, not silk.

This study found that ethanol extracts from Marygold flowers significantly promote hair growth in male rabbits, with the highest concentration (20%) leading to longer and denser hair compared to lower concentrations.

This study identified novel compounds from Bombax ceiba stem bark, including shamimicin, with potent hypotensive effects, and reported that a specific fraction had adverse effects on heart, liver, and kidneys in mice.

This study identified key natural compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids in tongue fern and established optimal extraction conditions using methanol.

This study found that in Liaoning cashmere goats, overexpression of the PIP5K1A gene enhances skin fibroblast proliferation, while interference with this gene reverses melatonin-induced proliferation, and PIP5K1A regulates certain miRNA expressions, suggesting a role in improving cashmere yield and quality.

This study reported that a 29-year-old woman with telogen effluvium experienced improved hair growth and reduced hair loss through 12 sessions of plum blossom acupuncture combined with electroacupuncture, as evidenced by new hair growth, improved hair-pull test results, and decreased telogen phase hair percentage.

This review discusses the medicinal uses and phytochemical composition of Eclipta alba and reports no new clinical findings; the authors suggest its potential therapeutic significance due to complex interactions of its constituents.

This survey reports on the types and extraction factors of flavonoids in three aquatic plants from Iraqi marshlands but notes limited information on individual flavonoid profiles and their biological impacts.

This study found that red-flowered cultivars of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis displayed the highest antioxidant activity, phenolic, and flavonoid content compared to other colored cultivars.

This study found that leachate from crownvetch seeds drastically inhibited the growth of shoots and roots in various plant species, despite the osmotic pressure being too low to account for these effects.

In this case study, intravenous cyclophosphamide pulse therapy effectively improved symptoms of steroid-resistant lupus cystitis and peritonitis, allowing for a reduction in steroid dosage.
