A closer look at the antioxidant activity of collagen obtained from Oreochromis sp.
Mexican researchers evaluated the antioxidant properties of collagen extracted from the skin and gall of Oreochromis sp., also known as red tilapia. Their findings were published in the Journal of Medicinal Food. Not much focus is given to the reduction of fishing waste generated during evisceration and filleting. On the other hand, fishing waste is used in […]

Scientists look at mitochondria for their anti-aging potential on muscles
Muscle loss, known scientifically as sarcopenia, is a disease associated with the aging process. This condition causes a loss of muscle mass and strength, which eventually leads to a loss of balance, a weakened ability to perform daily tasks, and an overall decrease in the general quality of one’s life. Thankfully, new evidence suggests that […]

Your skincare routine could use myrcene: Studies reveal its anti-photoaging properties
Photoaging (premature aging) is one of the many unfortunate consequences of excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays – harmful forms of electromagnetic radiation coming from the sun and other artificial sources of light. When the skin is repeatedly exposed to radiation, its normal structure gradually gets altered, resulting in the loss of moisture and elasticity, and […]

Traditional Chinese medicine found to prevent and treat liver fibrosis, cirrhosis
Liver fibrosis is a silent condition that only causes symptoms when it progresses to cirrhosis. Fibrosis refers to the buildup of scar tissues caused by chronic inflammation or injury, while cirrhosis means irreversible scarring due to liver conditions or excessive alcohol consumption. The complications associated with liver cirrhosis are severe, hence early treatment and prevention […]

Huang Qi decoction found to prevent BDL-induced liver fibrosis through altered Notch signaling
In this study, researchers from Shuguang Hospital, which is affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, investigated whether or not huang qi decoction (HQD) prevents liver fibrosis by affecting the Notch signaling pathway. The results of their study were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine. Notch signaling is involved in ductular reactions and fibrosis. Previous studies […]

Jellyfish plaster found to help chronic wounds heal; the collagen helps new tissue grow
The future of wound dressing may come from the unlikeliest of sources — jellyfish. Studies have revealed that jellyfish contain collagen, which can assist in tissue regrowth and help with the healing process. Experts believe that this is because collagen generates cells such as fibroblasts and keratinocytes which sanitize the wound and encourage the growth of new […]

Scientists take super close-up shots of the human bone to understand why they are so strong
To truly understand the sturdiness of human bones, U.K. researchers have peered deeper into their structure than ever before. In a Scientific American article, they reported finding helix-shaped nanostructures twisting into and around equally thin spirals of fibrils. The nanostructures are made up of mineral crystallites, while fibrils are a type of protein collagen. These […]
