Article Abstract
Chamomile has a long history of traditional medicinal uses. The two commonly used varieties with therapeutic applications are German chamomile known as L. and Roman chamomile or L. The plant contains many components, namely, flavonoids, terpenoids, and coumarins, which are responsible for its medicinal properties. The review discusses recent developments that help in establishing its role as a therapeutic agent in various areas as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, anti-allergic, anticancer, and anti-hypertensive agent. Not much is known about its role in the treatment of CNS disorders and metabolic syndromes, which are also discussed. The chemical components responsible for the therapeutic activity and the respective mechanism of action are also elaborated.

Stemming from human immune organs, tonsil-derived mesenchymal stem cells (TMSCs) hold unique strengths in differentiation potential and immune regulatory functions. These characteristics make them valuable for therapeutic applications, particularly in regenerative medicine and autoimmune disease treatment, as they can modulate immune responses and promote tissue repair. Their ability to interact with various cell types and secrete a range of bioactive molecules further enhances their role in orchestrating healing processes, making them a promising avenue for innovative therapies aimed at restoring balance in the immune system and facilitating recovery from injury or disease.

Background: Delayed discharge among older patients presents a major challenge for the efficiency of health service delivery. Prolonged hospitalizations limit bed turnover, increase costs, and reduce the availability of hospital resources. In Japan, older adults must undergo a formal care needs certification process to access public long-term care (LTC) services.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have emerged as promising candidates for combating drug-resistant pathogens and certain cancer types. However, their therapeutic applications are often limited by undesired hemolytic activity, while many AMPs exhibit only moderate potency. Herein, the "helical wheel rotation" strategy as a simple, cost-effective, and modular approach to optimize the pharmacological properties of amphipathic α-helical AMPs without altering their amino acid composition is explored.

d-2-Hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase (D2HGDH) has recently received considerable attention due to the involvement of d-2-hydroxyglutarate in various medical conditions. This enzyme has been reported to diverge in substrate scope depending on whether its source is prokaryotic or eukaryotic. The D2HGDH from , D2HGDH, is of particular interest due to its requirement for survival via the l-serine biosynthesis pathway and its potential use as a therapeutic target against the bacterium.
