Summary: The study revealed that acteoside, isoacteoside, and 2 '-acetylacteoside in Orobanche cernua Loefling are effective in protecting against UV radiation-induced skin damage by reducing MMP-1 expression, increasing type I procollagen synthesis, and inhibiting ROS and TARC secretion. Crenatoside, however, did not show any significant effect on the regulation of these signal cascades.

Summary: This study developed novel gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) named HHT-AuNPs utilizing the herbal formula Hwanglyeonhaedok-tang (HHT) and demonstrated their immunostimulatory effects on both innate and adaptive immune systems. The HHT-AuNPs significantly increased the production of immune-related cytokines by activating the MAPK and NF-Kappa B signaling pathways in cells. These findings provide a foundation for the application of traditional Chinese medicinal formulae in the field of nanomedicine.
