Article Abstract

Panax notoginseng is a widely used herb in traditional Chinese medicine renowned for its unique dual functionality in promoting blood circulation and stopping bleeding. However, the specific active components and the molecular mechanisms underlying the seemingly contradictory effects of P. notoginseng remain unclear. This article reviews the literature on P. notoginseng focusing on its use in conditions including cardiovascular diseases, promoting blood circulation, and hemostasis. It provides a panoramic view of the regulatory roles of the different active components of P. notoginseng in maintaining vascular homeostasis, inflammatory responses, and coagulation-fibrinolysis during blood-activating/hemostatic conditions. By summarizing the pharmacological effects of P. notoginseng as reported by other studies, we have conducted a preliminary exploration of the medicinal basis and mechanisms that underlie its seemingly contradictory blood-activating and hemostatic effects. This research lays the groundwork for future studies into exploring the underlying mechanisms of P. notoginseng in "stopping bleeding without causing stasis and promoting blood circulation without harming the blood," and its application in preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases.

The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.

Durotaxis is a driver and potential therapeutic target in lung fibrosis and metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Nat Cell Biol

September 2025

Department of Medicine, Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.

Durotaxis, cell migration along stiffness gradients, is linked to embryonic development, tissue repair and disease. Despite solid in vitro evidence, its role in vivo remains largely speculative. Here we demonstrate that durotaxis actively drives disease progression in vivo in mouse models of lung fibrosis and metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Background And Aims: Viral myocarditis is an inflammatory pathology of the myocardium that involves innate immune responses, especially those involving neutrophils. However, strategies targeting neutrophils to alleviate inflammation have not achieved complete success. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA), a natural organosulfur compound, has the capacity to modulate immune cell behavior.

Bilayered chitosan scaffolds: a novel approach to mimicking native skin architecture.

Biomed Mater

September 2025

Department of Nanobiotechnology, Faculty of Biological Sciences, , Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, P.O. Box 14115-154, Iran, Tehran, Tehran Province, 14115-154, Iran (the Islamic Republic of).

It is essential to develop new strategies for wound treatment and skin reconstruction, particularly by scaffolds that replicate the structure and function of native skin. A bilayer scaffold was developed using three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting, based on a uniform chitosan-based formulation for both layers, maintaining material uniformity while offering structural support and promoting cell adhesion. The upper chitosan layer, embedded with NHEK-Neo, is stiffer and mimics the epidermis, while the softer lower layer contains embedded HFFs and HFSCs, mimicking the dermis.
