This research investigates β-caryophyllene, a natural compound found in black pepper, as a protective treatment for diabetic kidney disease. The compound shields kidney cells from high-glucose damage, offering a promising, safe, plant-based therapeutic pathway for preventing diabetic nephropathy and improving long-term outcomes for patients.

This research explores an injectable, thermosensitive hydrogel to deliver plant-based anticancer drugs for cervical cancer. By stabilizing phytochemicals and enabling localized, controlled release, the hydrogel significantly improves tumor cell killing while reducing side effects, offering a more patient-centered and effective treatment strategy.
