February 2025 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” This meta-analysis of animal studies found that alkaloids have potential anti-influenza and anti-inflammatory effects, correlating with improved viral titers and survival rates, though they did not effectively reduce TNF-α and IL-6 levels. Extensive further studies are needed to confirm these findings before considering clinical application.
June 2024 in “Skin Research and Technology” In this study, researchers observed significant differences in microbial composition between UV-induced fluorescent and non-fluorescent scalp areas in patients with androgenetic alopecia, noting a higher abundance of Cutibacterium in the fluorescent regions.
In this study, the combined treatment of ursolic acid and resveratrol was evaluated for its effects on skin tumor promotion in female FVB mice. The combination was applied topically before TPA treatment and was found to significantly inhibit TPA-induced epidermal hyperproliferation, signaling pathways, and skin inflammation more effectively than either compound alone. Key signaling pathways affected included EGFR, STAT3, and NF-κB, among others. The combination also increased tumor suppressor levels and reduced proinflammatory cytokine expression. Overall, the combined treatment resulted in a greater reduction in tumor multiplicity and size, highlighting its potential as a more effective strategy for inhibiting skin tumor promotion compared to individual treatments.
