This study surveyed the use and potential toxicity of medicinal plants in the Fez-Meknes region of Morocco, documenting 59 toxic species used primarily for cosmetic purposes and minor illnesses, and identified hair loss and rheumatism as having the highest informant agreement ratios.

This study found that TRM21 acts as a positive regulator of flavonoid biosynthesis at the translational level in Arabidopsis, leading to changes in root hair growth and a decrease in flavonoid content when TRM21 is mutated.

This review underscores the importance of phytotherapeutic compounds and adjuncts in managing polycystic ovarian syndrome but does not present new clinical evidence.

This review examines Ayurvedic herbs and formulations described in ancient texts for cancer treatment, noting a lack of evidence-based research on their efficacy and potential use in oncology.

Bee pollen, green tea, essential oils, and various plant extracts improve skin and hair health.

This article reviews the extensive pharmacological applications of various parts of the neem plant, such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects, and reports no adverse effects except for allergic reactions, concluding neem is broadly beneficial with numerous medicinal and cosmetic uses.

This study reported significant symptom improvement in a 30-year-old female with hypothyroidism after Ayurvedic treatment with Kanchnar twak kwath, Shunthi churna, and Nimb tail nasya, noting a reduction in TSH levels from 18.65 to 6.92 post-treatment.

This article reviews the pathogenesis, complications, and management of lichen planus, especially its persistent oral form, and highlights the need for further prospective studies.

This review found that while many medicinal plants show potential antiviral and other therapeutic effects against COVID-19 based on prior studies, more rigorous clinical trials are needed to confirm their efficacy and safety.

This review identifies common medicinal plant species in Sri Lankan home gardens and discusses their traditional Ayurvedic uses, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that BEO inhibited cell proliferation and inflammatory mediator release in a human keratinocyte acne model and reduced acne lesion severity in a rabbit model, suggesting its potential as a natural alternative to conventional acne treatments.

This study examined extracts from the heartwood of Kouyousan trees for anti-termite activity against Japanese termites. The researchers reported that cedrol showed strong anti-termite effects, with feeding deterrent activity at low concentrations and lethal effects at high concentrations, while isoabienol mainly contributed to feeding deterrence.

This study examined the latest advances in synthetic biology for increasing microbial production of sesquiterpenol compounds, highlighting innovative strategies to overcome challenges such as low yields and terpenoid-related toxicity, which hinder industrial-scale applications.

This study found that terpene compound concentrations in coniferous tree leaves were generally highest in spring and summer, suggesting these seasons are most effective for extracting essential oils.

This study found that newly synthesized steroidal trienones demonstrated stronger 5α-reductase inhibitory activity compared to dienones in various biological models, suggesting potential for developing enhanced antiandrogenic drugs.

This study identified that the pruning woods from Juniperus phoenicea and Juniperus thurifera could serve as renewable sources of bioactive natural products, with compounds like cedrol showing potent antitick and antifungal activities.

This study identified and characterized eight compounds, including furanocoumarins and pterocarpans, from the aerial parts of Bituminaria basaltica, with β-caryophyllene and germacrene D as main constituents of its essential oil.

This study developed a new competitive 5alpha-reductase inhibitor with an IC(50) of 0.84 microM using a novel chemical structure.

This study found that Poria cocos extract may enhance human follicle dermal papilla cell proliferation through the AKT signaling pathway, indicating its potential for hair growth promotion.

Diphenyl ethers can potentially reduce excess oil production when applied on the skin, helping treat conditions like acne.

This review discusses the use of terpenes and invasomes as permeation enhancers for transdermal drug delivery, focusing on their potential applications in pharmaceutical formulations, but it reports no new experimental results.

In this study, researchers successfully synthesized a rigid 3a-arylhexahydropentalene-1,6-dione from the easily accessible starting material cyclopent-2-en-1-one, highlighting a structural motif common in natural products and pharmaceuticals.

This study found that skin exposure to toluene diisocyanate in mice creates immune-recognition reservoirs in the skin's stratum corneum and hair follicles, potentially leading to sensitization and allergic reactions.

This study developed a protocol for callus induction and found that certain hormone concentrations enhance the production of flavonoids, phenols, and terpenes in Bituminaria bituminosa.

This study found that two novel nonsteroidal derivatives inhibited specific enzymes in vitro and in vivo, leading to dihydrotestosterone accumulation in androgen-dependent glands, suggesting potential therapeutic use for mood improvement in the elderly.

This study suggests that certain Dibenzo derivatives may be promising candidates for prostate cancer treatment due to their potential interactions with the androgen receptor and 5α-reductase enzyme.

This review discusses the traditional uses and pharmacologically active compounds of 22 Dendrobium species for dermatological disorders but reports no new results, highlighting the need for further research.

This study reports that newly synthesized steroidal trienones exhibit higher 5α-reductase inhibitory activity than dienones in various biological models, suggesting potential use in treating androgen-dependent diseases.

This study found that the AabHLH112 transcription factor positively regulates the biosynthesis of β-caryophyllene, epi-cedrol, and β-farnesene in Artemisia annua.

This study characterized bioactive compounds in extracts from six Kalimantan herbal plants, confirming traditional medicinal uses with findings such as triterpenoids and several potent compounds with antimicrobial and cardiovascular benefits, laying groundwork for potential therapeutic applications and conservation efforts.
