Flip the boolean state of the primary verb (e.g., \"promotes\"\n    becomes \"does not promote\").\n\n3. ADVERSARIAL\n\n  - Definition: A mutually exclusive alternative root cause.\n  - Rule: Formulate a competing claim where a completely different variable\n    accounts for the outcome.\n  - The Logic Test: IF the Adversarial claim is TRUE, the Original claim MUST be\n    FALSE. It must represent a conflict of causality.\n\n4. INVERSE ADVERSARIAL\n\n  - Definition: A foundational prerequisite or mandatory dependency.\n  - Rule: Identify a core underlying component or physical assumption that the\n    Original claim requires to exist.\n  - The Logic Test: IF the Inverse Adversarial claim is FALSE, the Original\n    claim is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.\n\nOUTPUT FORMAT\n\nReturn ONLY valid JSON.

ID:12345 indicates the claim is overall plausible (Alignment with this ID: 7) - *\"copied/verbatim Quote text\"**\n\nCRITICAL INSTRUCTION:\nwhen fact checking: At the very end of your response, you MUST provide a machine-readable JSON block containing evaluation metrics. \nIt MUST be enclosed exactly between ###JSON_START### and ###JSON_END###. Ensure the JSON is valid. \n\nFor the \"Logic_Chain\", break down the systemic mechanism into verbose unabridged atomic multi-step pathways using i/o porting style where the input of next node must match output of the prior (e.g., A -> B, B->C, C->D). Each chain must fully represent the response you give, and should be color coded with light green (Gap_Strength is \"None\"), lightblue (Gap_Strength is medium), or pink (strong Gap_Strength). Logic_Chain MUST be a JSON array of objects. Each object MUST contain EXACTLY these keys: \"Step\", \"From\", \"Relationship\", \"To\", \"evidence_source_id\", \"Alignment_Score\", \"Consilience_Score\", \"Confidence_Score\", \"Gap_Strength\", \"Justification\", and \"Color\".

We will programmatically validate these. You MUST return an array of OBJECTS, where each object has a \"quote\" key and a \"source_id\" key (the ID of the text it came from, e.g., the ID). Do not alter a single character, do not paraphrase.\n\nUse these scales to evaluate HOW WELL THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS THE SPECIFIC CLAIM EVALUATED ABOVE:\n- Alignment Score (1-7): How well does the EVALUATED CLAIM factually align with the provided RAG evidence set? [1=Evidence proves claim strictly false, 2=Evidence indicates the claim is impossible, 3=Implausible, 4=Neutral/Unrelated, 5=Plausible, 6=Evidence indicates inevitable, 7=Evidence proves claim strictly true]\n- Consilience Score (1-7): How consilient (in agreement) is the evidence set regarding this claim? [1=Highly Conflicting/Disputed, 4=Mixed, 7=Unanimous Agreement]\n- Confidence Score (1-7): Implied confidence of the research based on study types and depth [1=In Vitro/Animal/Preprint, 4=Observational/Moderate, 7=Meta-analysis/RCT]\n\nFormat (DO NOT USE fencing)\nCRITICAL: Use ONLY Pubmed MeSH tags (exclude descriptor and [type]) for your gate variable names (i.e.,.the \"gates\") so they will be standardized globally.

While surface engineering can enhance tissue accumulation, strategies that preserve biocompatibility and enable scalable production remain limited. Here, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs). The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein. This specific composition drives their tissue-specific accumulation in the intestine and liver and potentiates clathrin-dependent cellular uptake in intestinal cells by 8.57-fold. Beyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform. When loaded with tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) small interfering RNA, they enable a synergistic therapy that combines innate anti-inflammatory activity with targeted gene silencing of TNF-\u03b1, showing potent efficacy in colitis. Our findings position boiling as a natural strategy for enhancing the bioactivity and targeted oral delivery potential of GEVs."

Nevertheless, its poor colon-targeting efficiency, insufficient capacity to penetrate the intestinal mucus layer, and low cellular internalization significantly compromise therapeutic outcomes in UC treatment. To address these critical limitations, herein we rationally designed a exosome-hydrogel hybrid system (Cel-GDNPs@Gel) by first encapsulating Cel into ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDNPs), which were subsequently dispersed within a glycyrrhizic acid (GA) hydrogel matrix. Experimental studies confirmed that GDNPs were successfully isolated and characterized with uniform size distribution and round- or cup-shaped morphology, and Cel was successful encapsulated into GDNPs. The GA hydrogel endowed the system with excellent pH-sensitivity and robust mucoadhesive properties, thereby facilitating enhanced accumulation and prolonged retention at the colon site. Moreover, GDNPs promoted efficient mucus penetration and cellular uptake of Cel. Notably, both GDNPs and GA could exert synergistic therapeutic effects with Cel. Accordingly, in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that Cel-GDNPs@Gel significantly alleviated colitis symptoms, suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, attenuated oxidative stress, regulated macrophage polarization, promoted intestinal mucosal barrier repair, and restored intestinal homeostasis. Furthermore, this delivery system exhibited favorable biosafety with no obvious systemic toxicity. Collectively, this multifunctional Cel-GDNPs@Gel platform offers a safe and effective strategy for the oral treatment of UC."

This study evaluated the therapeutic potential of GDEVs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation and joint destruction. We conducted both in vitro and in vivo experiments using synovial fibroblasts derived from RA patients and a collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) mouse model. In vitro, GDEVs significantly suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) and interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2 and downstream mediators IL-6, Cox-2, and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) and inhibited the proliferation and migration of RA synovial fibroblasts. In vivo, oral administration of GDEVs to CAIA mice reduced arthritis severity, attenuated synovitis, preserved cartilage integrity, and suppressed osteoclast activation. GDEVs were stable against gastric digestion and were efficiently taken up by intestinal cells, supporting their oral availability. Microarray and RNA sequencing identified miR-149 as a key regulatory molecule in GDEVs, associated with the suppression of inflammation-related signaling pathways, including Ras signaling and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. These findings highlight the potential of GDEVs as an anti-inflammatory therapy for RA. Given their stability and bioavailability, the oral administration of GDEVs could be a promising non-invasive treatment for future clinical applications."

Among them, Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) represent the most extensively studied category, demonstrating a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities. However, their specific efficacy against lung cancer remains largely unexplored and warrants further investigation. The appropriate isolation of GELNs is fundamental to all related research, yet a systematic comparison of different extraction methods is currently lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the differences among GELNs extracted by various methods and to investigate their anti-lung cancer pharmacological activities. The study employed four common isolation methods-ultracentrifugation (UC), sucrose gradient UC (sgUC), membrane filtration, and polyethylene glycol-based precipitation (PEG-based precipitation) - to isolate GELNs. The GELNs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and zeta potential measurements. Stability was evaluated under various conditions, including saline, serum, and different storage temperatures. The compositional profiles of GELNs extracted by four methods were explored using non-targeted metabolomics. A549 cells and PC-9 cells were used to assess the cellular uptake and anti-lung cancer efficacy of the four GELNs types. Network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations were integrated to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying their anti-lung cancer effects. The four methods successfully isolated GELNs with distinct profiles: UC achieved the highest protein yield (1.630 \u00b1 0.022 g/kg), membrane filtration yielded the highest particle concentration (46.9 \u00b1 6.71\u00d7108 particles/mL) but the lowest protein yield (0.059 \u00b1 0.002 g/kg). Stability studies indicated that the highest stability of GELNs was observed for those isolated by UC and sgUC in both 0.9% and 10% NaCl. Furthermore, GELNs prepared by UC and membrane filtration showed excellent stability in serum. It was also demonstrated that -80\u00b0C provided the optimal storage condition for GELNs. Non-targeted metabolomics revealed the presence of 649 shared metabolites among the GELNs extracted by the four methods, along with method-specific unique metabolites. GELNs extracted by all four methods were internalized by both A549 and PC-9 cells. Among them, UC-isolated GELNs demonstrated the most potent anti-proliferative activity against the lung cancer cells. Through network pharmacology, 21 key targets of UC-isolated GELNs against lung cancer were identified. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations further verified that 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione from GELNs could stably bind to key targets, including Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3\u03b2 (GSK3B), Progesterone Receptor (PGR), and SRC Proto-Oncogene, Non-Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (SRC). This study demonstrates that although all four methods can isolate GELNs, UC is recommended for fundamental research due to its high protein yield, excellent stability, and potent in vitro anti-lung cancer activity. Furthermore, the anti-lung cancer activity of GELNs may be attributed to the regulation of GSK3B, PGR, and SRC by 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione."

Despite the development of extracellular vesicles (EVs) for drug delivery, there has been limited exploration into edible-product-derived EVs (EP-EVs), particularly those derived from plants as carriers to enhance the oral delivery of biomacromolecules. Here, we evaluated the potential of EP-EVs and highlighted their promising application and underlying mechanisms as orally delivered carriers from plant-derived EVs. Grape-derived EVs (Gra-EVs) were found to have superior efficacy in oral delivery of insulin to T1D rats compared to ginger-derived EVs (Gin-EVs) and milk-derived EVs (Mi-EVs), attributed to their enhanced endocytosis, secretion pathways, and more efficient transcytosis across epithelia. The capacity of Gra-EVs to regulate epithelial proteins associated with cytoskeletal organization, secretion, and recycling-related transport facilitated a robust positive feedback loop known as the self-amplifying feedback loop, thereby enhancing intestinal absorption. Notably, phosphatidic acid (PA), the phospholipid abundant in plant-derived EVs, was proved to augment the transcytosis through MAPK/ERK1/2 signaling pathway activation. Thus, edible plant-derived EVs, especially Gra-EVs, exploited the self-amplifying feedback loop and phosphatidic acid for improved oral delivery of biomacromolecules."

Here, we revealed that plant-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (PEVs) offer a promising strategy to overcome this barrier. Using an optimized high-yield extraction protocol, we isolated PEVs from four medicinal plants: Panax ginseng, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, and Ligusticum chuanxiong. Among these, extracellular vesicles derived from Panax notoginseng (NotoEV, vesicle population) exhibited the strongest neuroprotective effects under hypoxic conditions in vitro and in vivo stroke models.

Rosc), as an edible plant-derived nanoparticle, offers several advantages, such as a high return rate, low budget, no ethical barriers, and good for health. Ginger-Derived Extracellular Vesicles (GDEVs) are nanoscale vesicles isolated from ginger. In this study, GDEVs were used to treat the alopecia mouse model, and its main active components and potential mechanism of action were investigated. The LC-MS/MS analysis of GDEVs revealed the presence of 1299 chemical compounds, among which auxiliary components were identified. Interestingly, the crux of the analysis lies in the discovery of 13 specific ingredients that play a pivotal role in hair proliferation. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of GDEVs on hair loss. These advantages make ginger-derived nanoparticles a promising solution to overcome technical limitations associated with mammalian nanoparticles. This study elucidates the mechanism of action of GDEVs in the treatment of alopecia. However, the active ingredients and mechanism of action of GDEVs in the treatment of hair loss are unknown. GDEVs were isolated from ginger using the differential centrifugal method. Network pharmacological analysis of the GDEVs revealed that the anti-hair loss effect of GDEVs on alopecia was closely linked to its ability to reduce inflammation and promote the proliferation of hair follicle stem cells. Subsequently, it was applied to the balding areas of hair-loss mice using a brush. The results demonstrated that the application of GDEVs led to a rapid recovery of the balding areas and promoted the growth of healthier hair. This experiment reported that GDEVs can effectively suppress the inflammatory activity in the alopecia model mice."

However, it remains challenge to elicit immune activation due to the weak immunogenicity of autologous tumor antigens. Here, a hybrid membrane cancer vaccine is successfully constructed by membrane fusion to enhance adaptive immune response and amplify personalized immunotherapy, which formed a codelivery system for autologous tumor antigens and immune adjuvants. Briefly, the functional hybrid vesicles (HM-NPs) are formed by hybridizing ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles-like particles (G-EVLPs) with the membrane originated from the resected autologous tumors. The introduction of G-EVLPs can enhance the phagocytosis of autologous tumor antigens by dendritic cells (DCs) and facilitate DCs maturation through TLR4, ultimately activating tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). HM-NPs can indeed strengthen specific immune responses to suppress tumors recurrence and metastasis including subcutaneous tumors and orthotopic tumors. Furthermore, a long-term immune protection can be obtained after vaccinating with HM-NPs, and prolonging the survival of animals. Overall, this personalized hybrid autologous tumor vaccine based on G-EVLPs provides the possibility of mitigating tumor recurrence and metastasis after surgery while maintaining good biocompatibility."

Despite the availability of conventional treatments, they are often marred by significant side effects and the associated high costs. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) offer a compelling alternative, owing to their abundant availability, affordability, low immunogenicity, high biocompatibility, and feasibility for large-scale production. These vesicles enhance intercellular communication by transferring intrinsic bioactive molecules. In our research, we delve into the capacity of PEVs to treat RA, highlighting the role of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEVs). By conjugating GDEVs with folic acid (FA), we have developed FA-GDEVs that maintain their inherent immunomodulatory properties. FA-GDEVs are designed to selectively target M1 macrophages in inflamed joints via the folate receptors (FRs). Our in vitro findings indicate that FA-GDEVs promote the polarization towards a reparative M2 macrophage phenotype by modulating the PI3K-AKT pathway. Further corroboration comes from in vivo studies, which demonstrate that FA-GDEVs not only concentrate efficiently in the affected joints but also markedly reduce the manifestations of RA. Synthesizing these findings, it is evident that FA-GDEVs emerge as a hopeful candidate for RA treatment, offering benefits such as safety, affordability, and therapeutic efficacy."

We developed an injectable fibrin gel delivery system loaded with ginseng-derived exosomes (GE-fibrin gel, GE-gel) to modulate microglial polarization, reduce retinal inflammation and promote RGC survival. In vitro, GE showed strong antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects by getting rid of reactive oxygen species caused by oxidative stress and lowering apoptosis in R28 cells. Both GE and GE-gel stopped lipopolysaccharide from causing pro-inflammatory M1 polarization of microglia and increased anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypic change. Intravitreal injection of GE-gel suppressed pro-inflammatory microglial activation, diminished neuroinflammation and improved the survival of RGCs in a chronic ocular hypertension rat model. These results show that GE-gel could promote microglial polarization, change the immune environment in the retina and protect RGCs functionally over the long term.

However, a question is whether geographical variation of plant alters the lipid composition of PELNs to impact immune cells. To investigate this, geographical variation in ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) was leveraged as a natural lipid library. The first step was to determine whether geographical variation triggered biosynthetic divergence in GELNs lipids. Our approach combined lipidomic profiling, functional assays, and computational simulations to identify lipids that govern B-cell internalization and to elucidate their underlying mechanisms. Among 1202 lipids, 88 were differentially abundant (VIP >1.2, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05), and 36 correlated with internalization (|\u03c1|\u00a0>\u00a00.65, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Molecular docking showed DG (32:2) binding strongly to fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) (-8.00\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.17\u00a0kcal/mol) and PG (23:2) variants preferring autotaxin (ATX) (-6.97 to -7.43\u00a0kcal/mol), with both exceeding their affinity for bovine serum albumin, indicating a protein corona-independent mechanism. Molecular dynamics simulations validated the specificity predicted by docking, confirming that DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) form more stable complexes with FAAH and ATX, respectively. These data demonstrated a structure-activity relationship in which the promotion and inhibition of B-cell internalization are mediated by the key lipids DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) engaging FAAH and ATX through stereospecific interactions, respectively. This work establishes a phenotype-driven pipeline that bridges botanical diversity with precision nutrition, providing a source of functional dietary lipids, a mechanistic basis for their immunomodulatory effects, and a robust tool for quality evaluation."

Most active constituents in ginseng are prepared via fermentation or organic acid pretreatment. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by most organisms from prokaryotes to eukaryotes and play central roles in intra- and inter-species communications. Plants produce EVs upon exposure to microbes; however, their direct functions and utility for human health are barely known, except for being proposed as delivery vehicles. In this study, we isolated EVs from ginseng roots (GrEVs) or the culture supernatants of ginseng cells (GcEVs) derived from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer and investigated their biological effects on human skin cells. GrEV or GcEV treatments improved the replicative senescent or senescence-associated pigmented phenotypes of human dermal fibroblasts or ultraviolet B radiation-treated human melanocytes, respectively, by downregulating senescence-associated molecules and/or melanogenesis-related proteins. Based on comprehensive lipidomic analysis using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, the lipidomic profile of GrEVs differed from that of the parental root extracts, showing significant increases in 70 of 188 identified lipid species and prominent increases in diacylglycerols, some phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, lysophosphatidylcholine), and sphingomyelin, revealing their unique vesicular properties. Therefore, our results imply that GEVs represent a novel type of bioactive and sustainable nanomaterials that can be applied to human tissues for improving tissue conditions and targeted delivery of active constituents."

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) display a continuum of different polarization states between tumoricidal M1 phenotype and tumor-supportive M2 phenotypes, with a lower M1/M2 ratio correlating with tumor growth, angiogenesis and invasion. We investigated whether EVs from ginseng can alter M2-like polarization both in vitro and in vivo to promote cancer immunotherapy. A novel EVs-liked ginseng-derived nanoparticles (GDNPs) were isolated and characterized from Panax ginseng C. A. Mey. Using GDNPs as an immunopotentiator for altering M2 polarized macrophages, we analyzed associated surface markers, genes and cytokines of macrophages treated with GDNPs. Mice bearing B16F10 melanoma were treated with GDNPs therapy. Tumor growth were assessed, and TAM populations were evaluated by FACS and IF. GDNPs significantly promoted the polarization of M2 to M1 phenotype and produce total reactive oxygen species, resulting in increasing apoptosis of mouse melanoma cells. GDNP-induced M1 polarization was found to depend upon Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 and myeloid differentiation antigen 88 (MyD88)-mediated signaling. Moreover, ceramide lipids and proteins of GDNPs may play an important role in macrophage polarization via TLR4 activation. We found that GDNPs treatment significantly suppressed melanoma growth in tumor-bearing mice with increased presence of M1 macrophages detected in the tumor tissue. GDNPs can alter M2 polarization both in vitro and in vivo, which contributes to an antitumor response. The polarization of macrophages induced by GDNPs is largely dependent on TLR4 and MyD88 signalling. GDNPs as an immunomodulator participate in mammalian immune response and may represent a new class of nano-drugs in cancer immunotherapy."

As an innovative form of herbal medicine, plant-derived exosomes (PDEs) exhibit their therapeutic potential from a unique phospholipid bilayer structure, which encapsulates bioactive molecules including proteins, lipids, RNAs, and metabolites. This study aims to elucidate the components, bioavailability, drug delivery, and stability of PDEs by reviewing the keywords including exosome, nanoparticle, and vesicle regarding plants and herbs in the databases (e.g., PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar), specially focusing on the high-frequency medicinal species (e.g., Ginseng, Ginger, Pueraria root, Turmeric, and Wolfberry). Unlike conventional extracts of herbal medicine, which lose critical compounds during drying or alcohol-based processing, PDEs derived from fresh plant tissues preserve native phytochemical integrity and enhance bioactivity. Advanced extraction techniques and cargo-loading strategies further amplify their therapeutic potential, enabling precise modulation of pathways such as macrophage polarization and immune checkpoint. Despite these advantages, hurdles in standardizing isolation protocols, ensuring storage stability, and validating clinical efficacy remain key obstacles to widespread adoption. The natural surface proteins of PDEs, which facilitate receptor-specific targeting without synthetic modification, exemplify their ability to bridge the synergy of herbal medicine with precision medicine. These advances position PDEs as transformative agents of herbal medicine in chronic disease management, offering a paradigm shift toward stable, targeted, and efficacious phytotherapy."

This study conducted a network meta-analysis to identify the most effective plant-derived sEVs for reducing sepsis-induced inflammation and oxidative stress. The analysis included 13 studies evaluating 10 plant-derived sEVs in sepsis-mimicking conditions, with primary outcomes focused on cytokine levels and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in vitro and in vivo.

Moreover, in vivo experiments revealed that G-Exo significantly inhibited the increases in serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT), creatine kinase (CK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in mice induced by CDDP. Histological assessment and tissue staining further corroborated that G-Exo alleviated the cardiac tissue damage and apoptosis caused by CDDP. Mechanistically, G-Exo were found to alleviate CDDP-induced apoptosis through blocking the MAPK signaling. Collectively, these results suggest that G-Exo hold the potential to mitigate cisplatin-induced cardiac injury by regulating the MAPK pathway, thereby highlighting the therapeutic potential of G-Exo as a protective agent against CDDP-induced cardiotoxicity."

Chronic neuroinflammation drives progressive retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss independent of intraocular pressure, yet safe, sustained and precise neuroprotective modulation of the retinal inflammatory microenvironment remains a significant challenge. We developed an injectable fibrin gel delivery system loaded with ginseng-derived exosomes (GE-fibrin gel, GE-gel) to modulate microglial polarization, reduce retinal inflammation and promote RGC survival. In vitro, GE showed strong antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects by getting rid of reactive oxygen species caused by oxidative stress and lowering apoptosis in R28 cells. Both GE and GE-gel stopped lipopolysaccharide from causing pro-inflammatory M1 polarization of microglia and increased anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypic change. Intravitreal injection of GE-gel suppressed pro-inflammatory microglial activation, diminished neuroinflammation and improved the survival of RGCs in a chronic ocular hypertension rat model. These results show that GE-gel could promote microglial polarization, change the immune environment in the retina and protect RGCs functionally over the long term. This approach may hopefully provide promising solutions for rapid and effective glaucoma therapy."

While surface engineering can enhance tissue accumulation, strategies that preserve biocompatibility and enable scalable production remain limited. Here, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs). The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein. This specific composition drives their tissue-specific accumulation in the intestine and liver and potentiates clathrin-dependent cellular uptake in intestinal cells by 8.57-fold. Beyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform. When loaded with tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) small interfering RNA, they enable a synergistic therapy that combines innate anti-inflammatory activity with targeted gene silencing of TNF-\u03b1, showing potent efficacy in colitis.

Rosc), as an edible plant-derived nanoparticle, offers several advantages, such as a high return rate, low budget, no ethical barriers, and good for health. Ginger-Derived Extracellular Vesicles (GDEVs) are nanoscale vesicles isolated from ginger. In this study, GDEVs were used to treat the alopecia mouse model, and its main active components and potential mechanism of action were investigated. The LC-MS/MS analysis of GDEVs revealed the presence of 1299 chemical compounds, among which auxiliary components were identified. Interestingly, the crux of the analysis lies in the discovery of 13 specific ingredients that play a pivotal role in hair proliferation. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of GDEVs on hair loss. These advantages make ginger-derived nanoparticles a promising solution to overcome technical limitations associated with mammalian nanoparticles. This study elucidates the mechanism of action of GDEVs in the treatment of alopecia. However, the active ingredients and mechanism of action of GDEVs in the treatment of hair loss are unknown. GDEVs were isolated from ginger using the differential centrifugal method. Network pharmacological analysis of the GDEVs revealed that the anti-hair loss effect of GDEVs on alopecia was closely linked to its ability to reduce inflammation and promote the proliferation of hair follicle stem cells. Subsequently, it was applied to the balding areas of hair-loss mice using a brush. The results demonstrated that the application of GDEVs led to a rapid recovery of the balding areas and promoted the growth of healthier hair. This experiment reported that GDEVs can effectively suppress the inflammatory activity in the alopecia model mice."

However, it remains challenge to elicit immune activation due to the weak immunogenicity of autologous tumor antigens. Here, a hybrid membrane cancer vaccine is successfully constructed by membrane fusion to enhance adaptive immune response and amplify personalized immunotherapy, which formed a codelivery system for autologous tumor antigens and immune adjuvants. Briefly, the functional hybrid vesicles (HM-NPs) are formed by hybridizing ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles-like particles (G-EVLPs) with the membrane originated from the resected autologous tumors. The introduction of G-EVLPs can enhance the phagocytosis of autologous tumor antigens by dendritic cells (DCs) and facilitate DCs maturation through TLR4, ultimately activating tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). HM-NPs can indeed strengthen specific immune responses to suppress tumors recurrence and metastasis including subcutaneous tumors and orthotopic tumors. Furthermore, a long-term immune protection can be obtained after vaccinating with HM-NPs, and prolonging the survival of animals. Overall, this personalized hybrid autologous tumor vaccine based on G-EVLPs provides the possibility of mitigating tumor recurrence and metastasis after surgery while maintaining good biocompatibility."

Despite the availability of conventional treatments, they are often marred by significant side effects and the associated high costs. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) offer a compelling alternative, owing to their abundant availability, affordability, low immunogenicity, high biocompatibility, and feasibility for large-scale production. These vesicles enhance intercellular communication by transferring intrinsic bioactive molecules. In our research, we delve into the capacity of PEVs to treat RA, highlighting the role of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEVs). By conjugating GDEVs with folic acid (FA), we have developed FA-GDEVs that maintain their inherent immunomodulatory properties. FA-GDEVs are designed to selectively target M1 macrophages in inflamed joints via the folate receptors (FRs). Our in vitro findings indicate that FA-GDEVs promote the polarization towards a reparative M2 macrophage phenotype by modulating the PI3K-AKT pathway. Further corroboration comes from in vivo studies, which demonstrate that FA-GDEVs not only concentrate efficiently in the affected joints but also markedly reduce the manifestations of RA. Synthesizing these findings, it is evident that FA-GDEVs emerge as a hopeful candidate for RA treatment, offering benefits such as safety, affordability, and therapeutic efficacy."

This study evaluated the therapeutic potential of GDEVs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation and joint destruction. We conducted both in vitro and in vivo experiments using synovial fibroblasts derived from RA patients and a collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) mouse model. In vitro, GDEVs significantly suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) and interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2 and downstream mediators IL-6, Cox-2, and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) and inhibited the proliferation and migration of RA synovial fibroblasts. In vivo, oral administration of GDEVs to CAIA mice reduced arthritis severity, attenuated synovitis, preserved cartilage integrity, and suppressed osteoclast activation. GDEVs were stable against gastric digestion and were efficiently taken up by intestinal cells, supporting their oral availability. Microarray and RNA sequencing identified miR-149 as a key regulatory molecule in GDEVs, associated with the suppression of inflammation-related signaling pathways, including Ras signaling and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. These findings highlight the potential of GDEVs as an anti-inflammatory therapy for RA. Given their stability and bioavailability, the oral administration of GDEVs could be a promising non-invasive treatment for future clinical applications."

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) display a continuum of different polarization states between tumoricidal M1 phenotype and tumor-supportive M2 phenotypes, with a lower M1/M2 ratio correlating with tumor growth, angiogenesis and invasion. We investigated whether EVs from ginseng can alter M2-like polarization both in vitro and in vivo to promote cancer immunotherapy. A novel EVs-liked ginseng-derived nanoparticles (GDNPs) were isolated and characterized from Panax ginseng C. A. Mey. Using GDNPs as an immunopotentiator for altering M2 polarized macrophages, we analyzed associated surface markers, genes and cytokines of macrophages treated with GDNPs. Mice bearing B16F10 melanoma were treated with GDNPs therapy. Tumor growth were assessed, and TAM populations were evaluated by FACS and IF. GDNPs significantly promoted the polarization of M2 to M1 phenotype and produce total reactive oxygen species, resulting in increasing apoptosis of mouse melanoma cells. GDNP-induced M1 polarization was found to depend upon Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 and myeloid differentiation antigen 88 (MyD88)-mediated signaling. Moreover, ceramide lipids and proteins of GDNPs may play an important role in macrophage polarization via TLR4 activation. We found that GDNPs treatment significantly suppressed melanoma growth in tumor-bearing mice with increased presence of M1 macrophages detected in the tumor tissue. GDNPs can alter M2 polarization both in vitro and in vivo, which contributes to an antitumor response. The polarization of macrophages induced by GDNPs is largely dependent on TLR4 and MyD88 signalling. GDNPs as an immunomodulator participate in mammalian immune response and may represent a new class of nano-drugs in cancer immunotherapy."

As an innovative form of herbal medicine, plant-derived exosomes (PDEs) exhibit their therapeutic potential from a unique phospholipid bilayer structure, which encapsulates bioactive molecules including proteins, lipids, RNAs, and metabolites. This study aims to elucidate the components, bioavailability, drug delivery, and stability of PDEs by reviewing the keywords including exosome, nanoparticle, and vesicle regarding plants and herbs in the databases (e.g., PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar), specially focusing on the high-frequency medicinal species (e.g., Ginseng, Ginger, Pueraria root, Turmeric, and Wolfberry). Unlike conventional extracts of herbal medicine, which lose critical compounds during drying or alcohol-based processing, PDEs derived from fresh plant tissues preserve native phytochemical integrity and enhance bioactivity. Advanced extraction techniques and cargo-loading strategies further amplify their therapeutic potential, enabling precise modulation of pathways such as macrophage polarization and immune checkpoint. Despite these advantages, hurdles in standardizing isolation protocols, ensuring storage stability, and validating clinical efficacy remain key obstacles to widespread adoption. The natural surface proteins of PDEs, which facilitate receptor-specific targeting without synthetic modification, exemplify their ability to bridge the synergy of herbal medicine with precision medicine.

Nevertheless, its poor colon-targeting efficiency, insufficient capacity to penetrate the intestinal mucus layer, and low cellular internalization significantly compromise therapeutic outcomes in UC treatment. To address these critical limitations, herein we rationally designed a exosome-hydrogel hybrid system (Cel-GDNPs@Gel) by first encapsulating Cel into ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDNPs), which were subsequently dispersed within a glycyrrhizic acid (GA) hydrogel matrix. Experimental studies confirmed that GDNPs were successfully isolated and characterized with uniform size distribution and round- or cup-shaped morphology, and Cel was successful encapsulated into GDNPs. The GA hydrogel endowed the system with excellent pH-sensitivity and robust mucoadhesive properties, thereby facilitating enhanced accumulation and prolonged retention at the colon site. Moreover, GDNPs promoted efficient mucus penetration and cellular uptake of Cel. Notably, both GDNPs and GA could exert synergistic therapeutic effects with Cel. Accordingly, in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that Cel-GDNPs@Gel significantly alleviated colitis symptoms, suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, attenuated oxidative stress, regulated macrophage polarization, promoted intestinal mucosal barrier repair, and restored intestinal homeostasis. Furthermore, this delivery system exhibited favorable biosafety with no obvious systemic toxicity.

In vivo, Exo-gel accelerated wound closure, promoted re-epithelialization, angiogenesis, and collagen remodeling, yielding superior tissue repair.

These platforms combine exceptional biocompatibility, negligible immunogenicity, and renewable sourcing with tunable drug loading, targeted delivery, and controlled release properties. This review synthesizes translational advances from 2020 to 2026, covering scalable isolation/bioprocessing (bioreactors, elicitation), multi-parametric physicochemical/multi-omics characterization, rational engineering/hybridization, and rigorous in vitro/in vivo assessments of uptake, biodistribution, pharmacokinetic (PK), and efficacy. Phytosomes and PBNPs markedly enhance oral bioavailability and targeted delivery of lipophilic phytochemicals, while PDEVs offer unique immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and gene-regulatory activities. Hybrid and green-synthesized systems provide structural stability, redox modulation, and synergistic effects, and self-assembled/multifunctional composites address solubilization barriers with stimuli-responsive design. Early-phase human studies on grapefruit-, ginger-, turmeric-, and ginseng-derived PDEVs report excellent short-term safety, favorable PK, and preliminary bioactivity signals, with no observed immunogenicity or dose-limiting toxicities; however, these trials remain exploratory, constrained by small sample sizes and safety-focused endpoints. Despite challenges, including methodological heterogeneity, variable yields, long-term safety uncertainties (notably for inorganic hybrids), and regulatory ambiguities, emerging strategies such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-engineered plant line; artificial-intelligence-driven process optimization; standardized guidelines, and integrated clinical, intellectual property, and commercialization frameworks are progressively addressing these barriers. Collectively, these advances position plant-derived nanocarriers as immunologically privileged, eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic and mammalian platforms, laying the foundation for a sustainable era of precision phytomedicine."

Recently, EVs have emerged as natural drug delivery systems. While early research focused on mammalian or bacterial EVs, concerns regarding safety, ethics, and cost limit their clinical translation. Plant-derived vesicles (PDVs), isolated from fruits, vegetables, or medicinal herbs, overcome these issues due to their abundant sources, cost-effectiveness, and favorable safety profile. PDVs from plants like citrus, ginger, and ginseng exhibit inherent anticancer effects by inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis. However, PDV research remains nascent and faces major challenges: (1) Scalable production is inefficient, with current isolation methods yielding impurities and batch variations. (2) Unified markers and classification criteria are lacking, hindering data standardization. (3) High heterogeneity and the absence of systematic databases impede matching PDV sources to specific diseases. (4) Safety assessment frameworks are urgently needed, including contraindications and pharmacokinetic studies. This review summarizes the preparation methods, physicochemical properties, anticancer mechanisms, and drug delivery applications of PDVs, while addressing these challenges and future prospects."

However, a question is whether geographical variation of plant alters the lipid composition of PELNs to impact immune cells. To investigate this, geographical variation in ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) was leveraged as a natural lipid library. The first step was to determine whether geographical variation triggered biosynthetic divergence in GELNs lipids. Our approach combined lipidomic profiling, functional assays, and computational simulations to identify lipids that govern B-cell internalization and to elucidate their underlying mechanisms. Among 1202 lipids, 88 were differentially abundant (VIP >1.2, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05), and 36 correlated with internalization (|\u03c1|\u00a0>\u00a00.65, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Molecular docking showed DG (32:2) binding strongly to fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) (-8.00\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.17\u00a0kcal/mol) and PG (23:2) variants preferring autotaxin (ATX) (-6.97 to -7.43\u00a0kcal/mol), with both exceeding their affinity for bovine serum albumin, indicating a protein corona-independent mechanism. Molecular dynamics simulations validated the specificity predicted by docking, confirming that DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) form more stable complexes with FAAH and ATX, respectively. These data demonstrated a structure-activity relationship in which the promotion and inhibition of B-cell internalization are mediated by the key lipids DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) engaging FAAH and ATX through stereospecific interactions, respectively. This work establishes a phenotype-driven pipeline that bridges botanical diversity with precision nutrition, providing a source of functional dietary lipids, a mechanistic basis for their immunomodulatory effects, and a robust tool for quality evaluation."

Nanoparticle measurements and electron microscopy revealed vesicle-like structures consistent with the known characteristics of exosomes, and proteomic analysis supported their biochemical identity. Lectin array profiling revealed the abundance of high-mannose N-glycans on their surface. These nanoparticles were internalized by cells, and miRNA analysis indicated the presence of multiple miRNA types within the nanoparticles. This is the first report demonstrating the presence and characteristics of exosome-like nanoparticles in Kampo medicines.

The gut-heart axis and exosomal crosstalk hold therapeutic promise for cardioprotection, yet the fundamental question of which specific gut cells release the beneficial exosomes is unanswered. This study aimed to elucidate whether ginseng polysaccharides WGPA exert remote cardiac protection by regulating intestinal immune homeostasis, specifically through promoting the release of exosomes from regulatory T cells (Tregs). Using integrated in vivo and in vitro models, we evaluated the protective effects of WGPA against MIRI. The results demonstrated that WGPA pretreatment significantly attenuated myocardial injury and improved cardiac function. Mechanistically, WGPA selectively activated intestinal Tregs and enhanced the release of HSP70-enriched exosomes. These exosomes entered systemic circulation and were delivered to the heart, where surface HSP70 interacted with TLR4 on cardiomyocytes, activating downstream protective signaling pathways and ultimately suppressing cardiomyocyte death and inflammatory responses. Our study reveals for the first time a complete mechanism by which medicinal plant polysaccharides confer cross-organ cardioprotection via the \"intestinal Tregs-exosome-heart\" axis, providing a novel theoretical basis and a potential intervention strategy for the prevention and treatment of MIRI."

However, the role of miRNAs derived from GELNs in immunomodulation remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular basis of the unique biological effects mediated by miRNA derived from GELNs on macrophages. GELNs were isolated using a combination of commercial exosome isolation kits and the differential centrifugation method, and the lipid composition of GELNs was determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Subsequently, PKH26 labelled GELNs were taken up by macrophages. Furthermore, the modulation of inflammatory and immune responses by GELNs or osa-miR164d was assessed through the RNA-seq, RT-qPCR, online databases, and dual luciferase reporter assays to explore the underlying mechanisms of osa-miR164d. Biomimetic exosomes loaded with osa-miR164d were prepared using a microfluidic mixing device and systematically characterized. The therapeutic effects of osa-miR164d on relieving colitis were evaluated. We report for the first time that GELNs-derived osa-miR164d is a regulatory factor of reprogramming macrophage polarization, thereby inhibiting the intestinal inflammatory response. Mechanistically, osa-miR164d directly targets the 3'-UTRs of TAB1, which regulates macrophage polarization through the downregulation of NF-\u03baB expression. In addition, We have designed a biomimetic exosome mimicking GELNs to deliver osa-miR164d (osa-miR164d-MGELNs). Notably, the osa-miR164d-MGELNs can efficiently reprogram macrophages to alleviate colitis-related symptoms. Our findings enhance the systematic understanding of how GELNs-derived osa-miR164d mediates cross-kingdom communication and provide an original engineering paradigm for mimicking GELNs to transfer miRNA."

Among them, Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) represent the most extensively studied category, demonstrating a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities. However, their specific efficacy against lung cancer remains largely unexplored and warrants further investigation. The appropriate isolation of GELNs is fundamental to all related research, yet a systematic comparison of different extraction methods is currently lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the differences among GELNs extracted by various methods and to investigate their anti-lung cancer pharmacological activities. The study employed four common isolation methods-ultracentrifugation (UC), sucrose gradient UC (sgUC), membrane filtration, and polyethylene glycol-based precipitation (PEG-based precipitation) - to isolate GELNs. The GELNs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and zeta potential measurements. Stability was evaluated under various conditions, including saline, serum, and different storage temperatures. The compositional profiles of GELNs extracted by four methods were explored using non-targeted metabolomics. A549 cells and PC-9 cells were used to assess the cellular uptake and anti-lung cancer efficacy of the four GELNs types. Network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations were integrated to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying their anti-lung cancer effects. The four methods successfully isolated GELNs with distinct profiles: UC achieved the highest protein yield (1.630 \u00b1 0.022 g/kg), membrane filtration yielded the highest particle concentration (46.9 \u00b1 6.71\u00d7108 particles/mL) but the lowest protein yield (0.059 \u00b1 0.002 g/kg). Stability studies indicated that the highest stability of GELNs was observed for those isolated by UC and sgUC in both 0.9% and 10% NaCl. Furthermore, GELNs prepared by UC and membrane filtration showed excellent stability in serum. It was also demonstrated that -80\u00b0C provided the optimal storage condition for GELNs. Non-targeted metabolomics revealed the presence of 649 shared metabolites among the GELNs extracted by the four methods, along with method-specific unique metabolites. GELNs extracted by all four methods were internalized by both A549 and PC-9 cells. Among them, UC-isolated GELNs demonstrated the most potent anti-proliferative activity against the lung cancer cells. Through network pharmacology, 21 key targets of UC-isolated GELNs against lung cancer were identified. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations further verified that 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione from GELNs could stably bind to key targets, including Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3\u03b2 (GSK3B), Progesterone Receptor (PGR), and SRC Proto-Oncogene, Non-Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (SRC). This study demonstrates that although all four methods can isolate GELNs, UC is recommended for fundamental research due to its high protein yield, excellent stability, and potent in vitro anti-lung cancer activity. Furthermore, the anti-lung cancer activity of GELNs may be attributed to the regulation of GSK3B, PGR, and SRC by 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione."

Among the therapeutic agents investigated to modulate macrophage-driven inflammation, compounds extracted from the roots of Panax ginseng have been distinguished for their potent anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, attention has shifted toward ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDEs) because of their ability to encapsulate diverse bioactive compounds with high stability and biocompatibility. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of GDEs against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic shock, with a particular focus on macrophage-mediated mechanisms. GDEs isolated from Korean Panax ginseng exhibited a spherical morphology, high stability, and effective encapsulation of bioactive ginsenosides, including Rb1, Rg1, and Rg3. GDEs significantly attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages by reducing toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) glycosylation, thereby inhibiting LPS binding. This suppression of TLR4 glycosylation led to decreased production of nitric oxide and proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1\u03b2, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), as well as inhibition of intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation and NF-\u03baB activation. Furthermore, GDE treatment markedly improved survival and alleviated lung, liver, and spleen damage in an LPS-induced sepsis mouse model. In summary, these findings suggest that GDEs represent a promising nanomedicine strategy for sepsis prevention, offering targeted modulation of macrophage activity without apparent adverse effects."

In 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, PGE treatment resulted in a 72.1% reduction in lipid accumulation, as demonstrated by Oil Red O staining, indicating significant inhibition of adipogenic differentiation. Elevated expression of surface markers TET-8 (147.2%) verified the exosomal nature of the isolated vesicles. To determine their role in adipocyte differentiation, we analyzed gene and protein expression of key adipogenic markers-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-\u03b3), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha and beta, and fatty acid-binding protein 4-revealing reductions of 23.6-35.6% and 26.7-35.2%, respectively. These results indicate downregulation of transcriptional and translational pathways driving adipogenesis. Lipogenic regulators, including sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthase, were also suppressed by 24.9-41.0% (gene) and 22.8-24.5% (protein), indicating impaired fatty acid synthesis. Conversely, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) expression increased by up to 53.8% (gene) and 47.9% (protein), implying activation of energy homeostasis signaling. Immunofluorescence analysis showed a reduction in the MitoTracker/DAPI ratio (57.7-60.0%) and an increase in the F-actin/DAPI ratio (39.5-60.8%), indicating decreased mitochondrial activity and enhanced cytoskeletal integrity. These molecular changes were accompanied by AMPK activation and PPAR-\u03b3 inhibition. Collectively, these findings underscore the potential of PGEs as bioactive agents for obesity management by concurrently inhibiting adipogenesis and lipogenesis, providing a strong basis for their application in anti-obesity functional foods and pharmaceutical products."

Exosomes from Panax notoginseng were isolated using differential centrifugation combined with sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The morphology of the exosomes was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), while size distribution and concentration were determined via nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). rBMSCs were isolated and identified by flow cytometry, and the uptake of fluorescently labeled Panax notoginseng exosomes by rBMSCs was confirmed using confocal microscopy. The optimal concentration of exosomes was determined using the CCK-8 assay. Osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by measuring alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, performing ALP staining, and conducting Alizarin Red S staining.

The ideal treatment for periodontitis involves three key steps: antibacterial treatment, inflammation control, and periodontal regeneration, ultimately leading to the complete restoration of alveolar bone and the full recovery of periodontal function. However, current periodontitis treatments cannot comprehensively solve these issues. In this study, a ginseng-derived exosomes (GEXs)-loaded injectable hydrogel (GEXs@Gel) was designed. GEXs@Gel was thermosensitive with good fluidity, capable of conforming to the intricate contours of periodontal pockets, while withstanding the persistent wash of gingival crevicular fluid. In vitro studies showed that GEXs and GEXs@Gel can inhibit the growth of periodontal pathogenic bacteria, effectively remove biofilms, promote the polarization of macrophages to the anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype, and alleviate cellular oxidative stress. In particular, GEXs@Gel had the functions of promoting bone/angiogenesis and regeneration. In vivo studies showed that GEXs@Gel effectively inhibited inflammation, promoted alveolar bone regeneration, and effectively reversed periodontitis. In summary, GEXs@Gel offers a promising strategy for the treatment of periodontitis."

This study presents a novel approach: integrating atorvastatin (ATOR)-loaded, ginger-derived exosomes (G-EX) into contact lenses to achieve sustained release and enhanced ocular penetration. Exosomes were isolated from ginger using polymer precipitation, characterised (average size \u2248 50.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04.3\u00a0nm; zeta potential\u00a0=\u00a0-23.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.2\u00a0mV), and efficiently loaded with ATOR (70\u00a0%). The ATOR@G-EX formulation was incorporated into contact lenses. Scanning electron and fluorescence microscopy confirmed uniform loading without altering lens structure. The lenses retained key properties, including high optical transmittance (96\u00a0%) and folding endurance (320 folds), supporting functional integrity and biocompatibility. In vitro assays showed controlled ATOR release (67\u00a0% in 2\u00a0h, gradual up to 48\u00a0h), following the Korsmeyer-Peppas model. Ex vivo, ATOR@G-EX lens markedly enhanced transcorneal permeation versus ATOR lens. In vitro cellular studies revealed higher fibroblast viability, faster migration, and 3-4-fold uptake improvement. HET-CAM confirmed minimal ocular irritation. In vivo, ATOR@G-EX lens produced the most pronounced and sustained IOP reduction in the steroid-induced glaucoma rabbit model, with a strong in vitro-in vivo correlation between permeation and efficacy. Treatment restored antioxidant enzyme (GPx 7.4 U/mL versus 3.2 U/mL in untreated positive group), normalised cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-6), and modulated glaucoma markers (upregulated NRF2; downregulated IL-1\u03b2, TIMP, MYOC). Histology confirmed retinal neuroprotection and tissue recovery. In conclusion, this bioinspired ATOR@G-EX-loaded contact lenses show high safety, functionality, and compliance potential, providing a promising platform for patient-friendly ocular therapeutics and future clinical translation."

Chronic neuroinflammation drives progressive retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss independent of intraocular pressure, yet safe, sustained and precise neuroprotective modulation of the retinal inflammatory microenvironment remains a significant challenge. We developed an injectable fibrin gel delivery system loaded with ginseng-derived exosomes (GE-fibrin gel, GE-gel) to modulate microglial polarization, reduce retinal inflammation and promote RGC survival. In vitro, GE showed strong antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects by getting rid of reactive oxygen species caused by oxidative stress and lowering apoptosis in R28 cells. Both GE and GE-gel stopped lipopolysaccharide from causing pro-inflammatory M1 polarization of microglia and increased anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypic change. Intravitreal injection of GE-gel suppressed pro-inflammatory microglial activation, diminished neuroinflammation and improved the survival of RGCs in a chronic ocular hypertension rat model. These results show that GE-gel could promote microglial polarization, change the immune environment in the retina and protect RGCs functionally over the long term.

Despite the availability of conventional treatments, they are often marred by significant side effects and the associated high costs. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) offer a compelling alternative, owing to their abundant availability, affordability, low immunogenicity, high biocompatibility, and feasibility for large-scale production. These vesicles enhance intercellular communication by transferring intrinsic bioactive molecules. In our research, we delve into the capacity of PEVs to treat RA, highlighting the role of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEVs). By conjugating GDEVs with folic acid (FA), we have developed FA-GDEVs that maintain their inherent immunomodulatory properties. FA-GDEVs are designed to selectively target M1 macrophages in inflamed joints via the folate receptors (FRs). Our in vitro findings indicate that FA-GDEVs promote the polarization towards a reparative M2 macrophage phenotype by modulating the PI3K-AKT pathway. Further corroboration comes from in vivo studies, which demonstrate that FA-GDEVs not only concentrate efficiently in the affected joints but also markedly reduce the manifestations of RA. Synthesizing these findings, it is evident that FA-GDEVs emerge as a hopeful candidate for RA treatment, offering benefits such as safety, affordability, and therapeutic efficacy."

Conventional therapies are limited, and often lead to high recurrence rates. The emerging concept of medicinal food homology has shed light on the potential of ginger as a therapeutic adjuvant for periodontitis, given its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, fresh ginger exhibits poor stability and bioavailability. Ginger exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs), a derivative of ginger, have not been reported to exert therapeutic effects in periodontitis. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic effects of GELNs on tissue damage caused by periodontitis and their underlying mechanisms of action. The GELNs composition was analyzed using a widely targeted metabolome. Stability was assessed using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and zeta potential measurements, flavor was evaluated using an electronic nose, and membrane penetration was studied using confocal microscopy. A periodontitis model was established in SD rats, periodontal clinical indicators were monitored, and histological changes were assessed using H&E and TRAP staining. Co-culture experiments investigate the antioxidant and reparative abilities of GELNs on periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLFs) in inflammatory environment. NF-\u03baB protein expression was examined by immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry. The findings revealed that GELNs demonstrated good stability in different environments and mitigated the pungent taste of the raw ginger. In vivo experiments showed that GELNs improved periodontal clinical parameters and pathology compared with ginger juice. In vitro data suggested that GELNs enhanced the proliferation and migration of PDLFs while reducing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by inhibiting the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway in an inflammatory setting. This study is the first to demonstrate that GELNs have a potential therapeutic effect on periodontitis. GELNs can alleviate oxidative stress (OS) and inflammatory reactions by inhibiting the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. These findings provide a promising method for the treatment of periodontitis by regulating an unbalanced OS state."

Plant-based diets and phytochemicals can support the immune microenvironment in the intestinal epithelial barrier for a balanced immune system by improving the intestinal microecological balance and may have therapeutic potential in colitis. However, there have been only a few reports on the therapeutic potential of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PENs) and the underlying mechanism in colitis. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic effect of PENs from Panax ginseng, ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs), in a mouse model of IBD, with a focus on the intestinal immune microenvironment. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of GENs on acute colitis, we treated GENs in Caco2 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced RAW 264.7 macrophages and analyzed the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and IL-10 by real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Furthermore, we further examined bacterial DNA from feces and determined the alteration of gut microbiota composition in DSS-induced colitis mice after administration of GENs through 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. GENs with low toxicity showed a long-lasting intestinal retention effect for 48 h, which could lead to effective suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 production through inhibition of NF-\u03baB in DSS-induced colitis. As a result, it showed longer colon length and suppressed thickening of the colon wall in the mice treated with GENs. Due to the amelioration of the progression of DSS-induced colitis with GENs treatment, the prolonged survival rate was observed for 17 days compared to 9 days in the PBS-treated group. In the gut microbiota analysis, the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidota was decreased, which means GENs have therapeutic effectiveness against IBD. Ingesting GENs would be expected to slow colitis progression, strengthen the gut microbiota, and maintain gut homeostasis by preventing bacterial dysbiosis. GENs have a therapeutic effect on colitis through modulation of the intestinal microbiota and immune microenvironment. GENs not only ameliorate the inflammation in the damaged intestine by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines but also help balance the microbiota on the intestinal barrier and thereby improve the digestive system."

Most active constituents in ginseng are prepared via fermentation or organic acid pretreatment. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by most organisms from prokaryotes to eukaryotes and play central roles in intra- and inter-species communications. Plants produce EVs upon exposure to microbes; however, their direct functions and utility for human health are barely known, except for being proposed as delivery vehicles. In this study, we isolated EVs from ginseng roots (GrEVs) or the culture supernatants of ginseng cells (GcEVs) derived from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer and investigated their biological effects on human skin cells. GrEV or GcEV treatments improved the replicative senescent or senescence-associated pigmented phenotypes of human dermal fibroblasts or ultraviolet B radiation-treated human melanocytes, respectively, by downregulating senescence-associated molecules and/or melanogenesis-related proteins. Based on comprehensive lipidomic analysis using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, the lipidomic profile of GrEVs differed from that of the parental root extracts, showing significant increases in 70 of 188 identified lipid species and prominent increases in diacylglycerols, some phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, lysophosphatidylcholine), and sphingomyelin, revealing their unique vesicular properties. Therefore, our results imply that GEVs represent a novel type of bioactive and sustainable nanomaterials that can be applied to human tissues for improving tissue conditions and targeted delivery of active constituents."

While surface engineering can enhance tissue accumulation, strategies that preserve biocompatibility and enable scalable production remain limited. Here, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs). The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein. This specific composition drives their tissue-specific accumulation in the intestine and liver and potentiates clathrin-dependent cellular uptake in intestinal cells by 8.57-fold. Beyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform. When loaded with tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) small interfering RNA, they enable a synergistic therapy that combines innate anti-inflammatory activity with targeted gene silencing of TNF-\u03b1, showing potent efficacy in colitis.

However, a question is whether geographical variation of plant alters the lipid composition of PELNs to impact immune cells. To investigate this, geographical variation in ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) was leveraged as a natural lipid library. The first step was to determine whether geographical variation triggered biosynthetic divergence in GELNs lipids. Our approach combined lipidomic profiling, functional assays, and computational simulations to identify lipids that govern B-cell internalization and to elucidate their underlying mechanisms. Among 1202 lipids, 88 were differentially abundant (VIP >1.2, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05), and 36 correlated with internalization (|\u03c1|\u00a0>\u00a00.65, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Molecular docking showed DG (32:2) binding strongly to fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) (-8.00\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.17\u00a0kcal/mol) and PG (23:2) variants preferring autotaxin (ATX) (-6.97 to -7.43\u00a0kcal/mol), with both exceeding their affinity for bovine serum albumin, indicating a protein corona-independent mechanism. Molecular dynamics simulations validated the specificity predicted by docking, confirming that DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) form more stable complexes with FAAH and ATX, respectively.

The gut-heart axis and exosomal crosstalk hold therapeutic promise for cardioprotection, yet the fundamental question of which specific gut cells release the beneficial exosomes is unanswered. This study aimed to elucidate whether ginseng polysaccharides WGPA exert remote cardiac protection by regulating intestinal immune homeostasis, specifically through promoting the release of exosomes from regulatory T cells (Tregs). Using integrated in vivo and in vitro models, we evaluated the protective effects of WGPA against MIRI. The results demonstrated that WGPA pretreatment significantly attenuated myocardial injury and improved cardiac function. Mechanistically, WGPA selectively activated intestinal Tregs and enhanced the release of HSP70-enriched exosomes. These exosomes entered systemic circulation and were delivered to the heart, where surface HSP70 interacted with TLR4 on cardiomyocytes, activating downstream protective signaling pathways and ultimately suppressing cardiomyocyte death and inflammatory responses.

Furthermore, the modulation of inflammatory and immune responses by GELNs or osa-miR164d was assessed through the RNA-seq, RT-qPCR, online databases, and dual luciferase reporter assays to explore the underlying mechanisms of osa-miR164d. Biomimetic exosomes loaded with osa-miR164d were prepared using a microfluidic mixing device and systematically characterized. The therapeutic effects of osa-miR164d on relieving colitis were evaluated. We report for the first time that GELNs-derived osa-miR164d is a regulatory factor of reprogramming macrophage polarization, thereby inhibiting the intestinal inflammatory response. Mechanistically, osa-miR164d directly targets the 3'-UTRs of TAB1, which regulates macrophage polarization through the downregulation of NF-\u03baB expression. In addition, We have designed a biomimetic exosome mimicking GELNs to deliver osa-miR164d (osa-miR164d-MGELNs). Notably, the osa-miR164d-MGELNs can efficiently reprogram macrophages to alleviate colitis-related symptoms. Our findings enhance the systematic understanding of how GELNs-derived osa-miR164d mediates cross-kingdom communication and provide an original engineering paradigm for mimicking GELNs to transfer miRNA."

Among them, Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) represent the most extensively studied category, demonstrating a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities. However, their specific efficacy against lung cancer remains largely unexplored and warrants further investigation. The appropriate isolation of GELNs is fundamental to all related research, yet a systematic comparison of different extraction methods is currently lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the differences among GELNs extracted by various methods and to investigate their anti-lung cancer pharmacological activities. The study employed four common isolation methods-ultracentrifugation (UC), sucrose gradient UC (sgUC), membrane filtration, and polyethylene glycol-based precipitation (PEG-based precipitation) - to isolate GELNs. The GELNs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and zeta potential measurements. Stability was evaluated under various conditions, including saline, serum, and different storage temperatures. The compositional profiles of GELNs extracted by four methods were explored using non-targeted metabolomics. A549 cells and PC-9 cells were used to assess the cellular uptake and anti-lung cancer efficacy of the four GELNs types. Network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations were integrated to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying their anti-lung cancer effects. The four methods successfully isolated GELNs with distinct profiles: UC achieved the highest protein yield (1.630 \u00b1 0.022 g/kg), membrane filtration yielded the highest particle concentration (46.9 \u00b1 6.71\u00d7108 particles/mL) but the lowest protein yield (0.059 \u00b1 0.002 g/kg). Stability studies indicated that the highest stability of GELNs was observed for those isolated by UC and sgUC in both 0.9% and 10% NaCl. Furthermore, GELNs prepared by UC and membrane filtration showed excellent stability in serum. It was also demonstrated that -80\u00b0C provided the optimal storage condition for GELNs. Non-targeted metabolomics revealed the presence of 649 shared metabolites among the GELNs extracted by the four methods, along with method-specific unique metabolites. GELNs extracted by all four methods were internalized by both A549 and PC-9 cells. Among them, UC-isolated GELNs demonstrated the most potent anti-proliferative activity against the lung cancer cells. Through network pharmacology, 21 key targets of UC-isolated GELNs against lung cancer were identified. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations further verified that 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione from GELNs could stably bind to key targets, including Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3\u03b2 (GSK3B), Progesterone Receptor (PGR), and SRC Proto-Oncogene, Non-Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (SRC). This study demonstrates that although all four methods can isolate GELNs, UC is recommended for fundamental research due to its high protein yield, excellent stability, and potent in vitro anti-lung cancer activity. Furthermore, the anti-lung cancer activity of GELNs may be attributed to the regulation of GSK3B, PGR, and SRC by 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione."

Among the therapeutic agents investigated to modulate macrophage-driven inflammation, compounds extracted from the roots of Panax ginseng have been distinguished for their potent anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, attention has shifted toward ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDEs) because of their ability to encapsulate diverse bioactive compounds with high stability and biocompatibility. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of GDEs against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic shock, with a particular focus on macrophage-mediated mechanisms. GDEs isolated from Korean Panax ginseng exhibited a spherical morphology, high stability, and effective encapsulation of bioactive ginsenosides, including Rb1, Rg1, and Rg3. GDEs significantly attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages by reducing toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) glycosylation, thereby inhibiting LPS binding. This suppression of TLR4 glycosylation led to decreased production of nitric oxide and proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1\u03b2, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), as well as inhibition of intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation and NF-\u03baB activation. Furthermore, GDE treatment markedly improved survival and alleviated lung, liver, and spleen damage in an LPS-induced sepsis mouse model. In summary, these findings suggest that GDEs represent a promising nanomedicine strategy for sepsis prevention, offering targeted modulation of macrophage activity without apparent adverse effects."

PGEs were isolated using a tangential flow filtration system, yielding particles with an average diameter of 159.5\u00a0nm and a concentration of 3.9\u2009\u00d7\u20091012 particles/mL. In 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, PGE treatment resulted in a 72.1% reduction in lipid accumulation, as demonstrated by Oil Red O staining, indicating significant inhibition of adipogenic differentiation. Elevated expression of surface markers TET-8 (147.2%) verified the exosomal nature of the isolated vesicles. To determine their role in adipocyte differentiation, we analyzed gene and protein expression of key adipogenic markers-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-\u03b3), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha and beta, and fatty acid-binding protein 4-revealing reductions of 23.6-35.6% and 26.7-35.2%, respectively. These results indicate downregulation of transcriptional and translational pathways driving adipogenesis. Lipogenic regulators, including sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthase, were also suppressed by 24.9-41.0% (gene) and 22.8-24.5% (protein), indicating impaired fatty acid synthesis. Conversely, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) expression increased by up to 53.8% (gene) and 47.9% (protein), implying activation of energy homeostasis signaling. Immunofluorescence analysis showed a reduction in the MitoTracker/DAPI ratio (57.7-60.0%) and an increase in the F-actin/DAPI ratio (39.5-60.8%), indicating decreased mitochondrial activity and enhanced cytoskeletal integrity. These molecular changes were accompanied by AMPK activation and PPAR-\u03b3 inhibition. Collectively, these findings underscore the potential of PGEs as bioactive agents for obesity management by concurrently inhibiting adipogenesis and lipogenesis, providing a strong basis for their application in anti-obesity functional foods and pharmaceutical products."

The ideal treatment for periodontitis involves three key steps: antibacterial treatment, inflammation control, and periodontal regeneration, ultimately leading to the complete restoration of alveolar bone and the full recovery of periodontal function. However, current periodontitis treatments cannot comprehensively solve these issues. In this study, a ginseng-derived exosomes (GEXs)-loaded injectable hydrogel (GEXs@Gel) was designed. GEXs@Gel was thermosensitive with good fluidity, capable of conforming to the intricate contours of periodontal pockets, while withstanding the persistent wash of gingival crevicular fluid. In vitro studies showed that GEXs and GEXs@Gel can inhibit the growth of periodontal pathogenic bacteria, effectively remove biofilms, promote the polarization of macrophages to the anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype, and alleviate cellular oxidative stress. In particular, GEXs@Gel had the functions of promoting bone/angiogenesis and regeneration.

Exosomes were isolated from ginger using polymer precipitation, characterised (average size \u2248 50.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04.3\u00a0nm; zeta potential\u00a0=\u00a0-23.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.2\u00a0mV), and efficiently loaded with ATOR (70\u00a0%). The ATOR@G-EX formulation was incorporated into contact lenses. Scanning electron and fluorescence microscopy confirmed uniform loading without altering lens structure. The lenses retained key properties, including high optical transmittance (96\u00a0%) and folding endurance (320 folds), supporting functional integrity and biocompatibility. In vitro assays showed controlled ATOR release (67\u00a0% in 2\u00a0h, gradual up to 48\u00a0h), following the Korsmeyer-Peppas model. Ex vivo, ATOR@G-EX lens markedly enhanced transcorneal permeation versus ATOR lens. In vitro cellular studies revealed higher fibroblast viability, faster migration, and 3-4-fold uptake improvement. HET-CAM confirmed minimal ocular irritation. In vivo, ATOR@G-EX lens produced the most pronounced and sustained IOP reduction in the steroid-induced glaucoma rabbit model, with a strong in vitro-in vivo correlation between permeation and efficacy. Treatment restored antioxidant enzyme (GPx 7.4 U/mL versus 3.2 U/mL in untreated positive group), normalised cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-6), and modulated glaucoma markers (upregulated NRF2; downregulated IL-1\u03b2, TIMP, MYOC). Histology confirmed retinal neuroprotection and tissue recovery. In conclusion, this bioinspired ATOR@G-EX-loaded contact lenses show high safety, functionality, and compliance potential, providing a promising platform for patient-friendly ocular therapeutics and future clinical translation."

We developed an injectable fibrin gel delivery system loaded with ginseng-derived exosomes (GE-fibrin gel, GE-gel) to modulate microglial polarization, reduce retinal inflammation and promote RGC survival. In vitro, GE showed strong antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects by getting rid of reactive oxygen species caused by oxidative stress and lowering apoptosis in R28 cells. Both GE and GE-gel stopped lipopolysaccharide from causing pro-inflammatory M1 polarization of microglia and increased anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypic change. Intravitreal injection of GE-gel suppressed pro-inflammatory microglial activation, diminished neuroinflammation and improved the survival of RGCs in a chronic ocular hypertension rat model. These results show that GE-gel could promote microglial polarization, change the immune environment in the retina and protect RGCs functionally over the long term.

Despite the availability of conventional treatments, they are often marred by significant side effects and the associated high costs. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) offer a compelling alternative, owing to their abundant availability, affordability, low immunogenicity, high biocompatibility, and feasibility for large-scale production. These vesicles enhance intercellular communication by transferring intrinsic bioactive molecules. In our research, we delve into the capacity of PEVs to treat RA, highlighting the role of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEVs). By conjugating GDEVs with folic acid (FA), we have developed FA-GDEVs that maintain their inherent immunomodulatory properties. FA-GDEVs are designed to selectively target M1 macrophages in inflamed joints via the folate receptors (FRs). Our in vitro findings indicate that FA-GDEVs promote the polarization towards a reparative M2 macrophage phenotype by modulating the PI3K-AKT pathway. Further corroboration comes from in vivo studies, which demonstrate that FA-GDEVs not only concentrate efficiently in the affected joints but also markedly reduce the manifestations of RA. Synthesizing these findings, it is evident that FA-GDEVs emerge as a hopeful candidate for RA treatment, offering benefits such as safety, affordability, and therapeutic efficacy."

Conventional therapies are limited, and often lead to high recurrence rates. The emerging concept of medicinal food homology has shed light on the potential of ginger as a therapeutic adjuvant for periodontitis, given its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, fresh ginger exhibits poor stability and bioavailability. Ginger exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs), a derivative of ginger, have not been reported to exert therapeutic effects in periodontitis. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic effects of GELNs on tissue damage caused by periodontitis and their underlying mechanisms of action. The GELNs composition was analyzed using a widely targeted metabolome. Stability was assessed using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and zeta potential measurements, flavor was evaluated using an electronic nose, and membrane penetration was studied using confocal microscopy. A periodontitis model was established in SD rats, periodontal clinical indicators were monitored, and histological changes were assessed using H&E and TRAP staining. Co-culture experiments investigate the antioxidant and reparative abilities of GELNs on periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLFs) in inflammatory environment. NF-\u03baB protein expression was examined by immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry. The findings revealed that GELNs demonstrated good stability in different environments and mitigated the pungent taste of the raw ginger. In vivo experiments showed that GELNs improved periodontal clinical parameters and pathology compared with ginger juice. In vitro data suggested that GELNs enhanced the proliferation and migration of PDLFs while reducing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by inhibiting the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway in an inflammatory setting. This study is the first to demonstrate that GELNs have a potential therapeutic effect on periodontitis. GELNs can alleviate oxidative stress (OS) and inflammatory reactions by inhibiting the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. These findings provide a promising method for the treatment of periodontitis by regulating an unbalanced OS state."

Plant-based diets and phytochemicals can support the immune microenvironment in the intestinal epithelial barrier for a balanced immune system by improving the intestinal microecological balance and may have therapeutic potential in colitis. However, there have been only a few reports on the therapeutic potential of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PENs) and the underlying mechanism in colitis. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic effect of PENs from Panax ginseng, ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs), in a mouse model of IBD, with a focus on the intestinal immune microenvironment. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of GENs on acute colitis, we treated GENs in Caco2 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced RAW 264.7 macrophages and analyzed the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and IL-10 by real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Furthermore, we further examined bacterial DNA from feces and determined the alteration of gut microbiota composition in DSS-induced colitis mice after administration of GENs through 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. GENs with low toxicity showed a long-lasting intestinal retention effect for 48 h, which could lead to effective suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 production through inhibition of NF-\u03baB in DSS-induced colitis. As a result, it showed longer colon length and suppressed thickening of the colon wall in the mice treated with GENs. Due to the amelioration of the progression of DSS-induced colitis with GENs treatment, the prolonged survival rate was observed for 17 days compared to 9 days in the PBS-treated group. In the gut microbiota analysis, the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidota was decreased, which means GENs have therapeutic effectiveness against IBD. Ingesting GENs would be expected to slow colitis progression, strengthen the gut microbiota, and maintain gut homeostasis by preventing bacterial dysbiosis. GENs have a therapeutic effect on colitis through modulation of the intestinal microbiota and immune microenvironment. GENs not only ameliorate the inflammation in the damaged intestine by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines but also help balance the microbiota on the intestinal barrier and thereby improve the digestive system."

However, in the treatment of glioma, effective nanomedicine has limited access to the brain because of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Previously, we demonstrated nano-sized ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs) consisting of phospholipids including various bioactive components, and evaluated anti-tumor immune responses in T cells and Tregs to inhibit tumor progression. It was found that the enhanced targeting ability of GENs to the BBB and glioma induced a significant therapeutic effect and exhibited strong efficacy in recruiting M1 macrophage expression in the TME. GENs were demonstrated to be successful candidates in glioma therapeutics both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting excellent potential for inhibiting glioma progression and regulating tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs)."

However, concerns exist regarding potential toxicity and cost-effectiveness, limiting their clinical applications. In contrast, plant-derived exosomes (PDEs), as natural nanovesicles, offer significant advantages as drug delivery carriers due to their large-scale production, biocompatibility, and ability to efficiently transport therapeutic drug across cellular barriers. In this work, we established a ginseng-derived exosome (G-Exo)-based CDDP delivery system (G-CDDP) and evaluated its anti-tumor efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. The results demonstrated that G-CDDP effectively targeted tumor site, inhibiting the proliferation and migration and promoting apoptosis in U-87MG tumor cells. Notably, the amount of CDDP in G-CDDP required for achieving the same cytotoxic effect on tumor cells was 12.66 times lower than that of free CDDP. In U-87MG tumor-bearing mice, G-CDDP effectively targeted tumor sites and exhibited significant therapeutic effect. Collectively, these findings highlight the potent anti-tumor activity of G-CDDP at reduced CDDP dosage, positioning it as a promising and efficient alternative to conventional drug treatments in clinical settings."

Herein, ginger-derived exosomes (G-Exos) loaded with berberine (G-Exos@B) to facilitate targeted delivery to the liver through the formation of GR-Exos@B via the coalescence of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)-introduced liposomes (RAL) for effective NASH intervention are developed. The introduction of G-Exos significantly equipped GR-Exos@B to effectively overcome the multi-intestinal barrier, facilitating their exit from the cell in an intact form. Interestingly, the hepatic-targeting of RAL allowed GR-Exos to penetrate the liver more effectively than G-Exos, resulting in 2.39-fold greater accumulation in the liver. In vivo experiments revealed that dual ROS depletion by berberine and GR-Exos synergistically enhanced the therapeutic effect against inhibited oxidative stress and hepatocellular steatosis compared to GR-Exos. Additionally, the macrophage-targeting capability of G-Exos is leveraged to suppress the activation of hepatic NLRP3 inflammasome complexes, transitioning from an M1 pro-inflammatory to an M2 anti-inflammatory state, which helped diminish hepatic macrophage levels and subsequently reduce lipid accumulation. Meanwhile, GR-Exos@B improved insulin sensitivity primarily by strengthening the AMPK/AKT/IRS-1 signaling pathway and inhibiting GSK3-\u03b2 function. Hence, GR-Exos@B shows promise as a potential strategy for alleviating obesity-induced NASH therapy."

While surface engineering can enhance tissue accumulation, strategies that preserve biocompatibility and enable scalable production remain limited. Here, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs). The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein. This specific composition drives their tissue-specific accumulation in the intestine and liver and potentiates clathrin-dependent cellular uptake in intestinal cells by 8.57-fold. Beyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform. When loaded with tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) small interfering RNA, they enable a synergistic therapy that combines innate anti-inflammatory activity with targeted gene silencing of TNF-\u03b1, showing potent efficacy in colitis. Our findings position boiling as a natural strategy for enhancing the bioactivity and targeted oral delivery potential of GEVs."

However, a question is whether geographical variation of plant alters the lipid composition of PELNs to impact immune cells. To investigate this, geographical variation in ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) was leveraged as a natural lipid library. The first step was to determine whether geographical variation triggered biosynthetic divergence in GELNs lipids. Our approach combined lipidomic profiling, functional assays, and computational simulations to identify lipids that govern B-cell internalization and to elucidate their underlying mechanisms. Among 1202 lipids, 88 were differentially abundant (VIP >1.2, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05), and 36 correlated with internalization (|\u03c1|\u00a0>\u00a00.65, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Molecular docking showed DG (32:2) binding strongly to fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) (-8.00\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.17\u00a0kcal/mol) and PG (23:2) variants preferring autotaxin (ATX) (-6.97 to -7.43\u00a0kcal/mol), with both exceeding their affinity for bovine serum albumin, indicating a protein corona-independent mechanism. Molecular dynamics simulations validated the specificity predicted by docking, confirming that DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) form more stable complexes with FAAH and ATX, respectively. These data demonstrated a structure-activity relationship in which the promotion and inhibition of B-cell internalization are mediated by the key lipids DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) engaging FAAH and ATX through stereospecific interactions, respectively. This work establishes a phenotype-driven pipeline that bridges botanical diversity with precision nutrition, providing a source of functional dietary lipids, a mechanistic basis for their immunomodulatory effects, and a robust tool for quality evaluation."

The gut-heart axis and exosomal crosstalk hold therapeutic promise for cardioprotection, yet the fundamental question of which specific gut cells release the beneficial exosomes is unanswered. This study aimed to elucidate whether ginseng polysaccharides WGPA exert remote cardiac protection by regulating intestinal immune homeostasis, specifically through promoting the release of exosomes from regulatory T cells (Tregs). Using integrated in vivo and in vitro models, we evaluated the protective effects of WGPA against MIRI. The results demonstrated that WGPA pretreatment significantly attenuated myocardial injury and improved cardiac function. Mechanistically, WGPA selectively activated intestinal Tregs and enhanced the release of HSP70-enriched exosomes. These exosomes entered systemic circulation and were delivered to the heart, where surface HSP70 interacted with TLR4 on cardiomyocytes, activating downstream protective signaling pathways and ultimately suppressing cardiomyocyte death and inflammatory responses.

However, the role of miRNAs derived from GELNs in immunomodulation remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular basis of the unique biological effects mediated by miRNA derived from GELNs on macrophages. GELNs were isolated using a combination of commercial exosome isolation kits and the differential centrifugation method, and the lipid composition of GELNs was determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Subsequently, PKH26 labelled GELNs were taken up by macrophages. Furthermore, the modulation of inflammatory and immune responses by GELNs or osa-miR164d was assessed through the RNA-seq, RT-qPCR, online databases, and dual luciferase reporter assays to explore the underlying mechanisms of osa-miR164d. Biomimetic exosomes loaded with osa-miR164d were prepared using a microfluidic mixing device and systematically characterized. The therapeutic effects of osa-miR164d on relieving colitis were evaluated. We report for the first time that GELNs-derived osa-miR164d is a regulatory factor of reprogramming macrophage polarization, thereby inhibiting the intestinal inflammatory response. Mechanistically, osa-miR164d directly targets the 3'-UTRs of TAB1, which regulates macrophage polarization through the downregulation of NF-\u03baB expression. In addition, We have designed a biomimetic exosome mimicking GELNs to deliver osa-miR164d (osa-miR164d-MGELNs). Notably, the osa-miR164d-MGELNs can efficiently reprogram macrophages to alleviate colitis-related symptoms. Our findings enhance the systematic understanding of how GELNs-derived osa-miR164d mediates cross-kingdom communication and provide an original engineering paradigm for mimicking GELNs to transfer miRNA."

Among them, Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) represent the most extensively studied category, demonstrating a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities. However, their specific efficacy against lung cancer remains largely unexplored and warrants further investigation. The appropriate isolation of GELNs is fundamental to all related research, yet a systematic comparison of different extraction methods is currently lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the differences among GELNs extracted by various methods and to investigate their anti-lung cancer pharmacological activities. The study employed four common isolation methods-ultracentrifugation (UC), sucrose gradient UC (sgUC), membrane filtration, and polyethylene glycol-based precipitation (PEG-based precipitation) - to isolate GELNs. The GELNs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and zeta potential measurements. Stability was evaluated under various conditions, including saline, serum, and different storage temperatures. The compositional profiles of GELNs extracted by four methods were explored using non-targeted metabolomics. A549 cells and PC-9 cells were used to assess the cellular uptake and anti-lung cancer efficacy of the four GELNs types. Network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations were integrated to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying their anti-lung cancer effects. The four methods successfully isolated GELNs with distinct profiles: UC achieved the highest protein yield (1.630 \u00b1 0.022 g/kg), membrane filtration yielded the highest particle concentration (46.9 \u00b1 6.71\u00d7108 particles/mL) but the lowest protein yield (0.059 \u00b1 0.002 g/kg). Stability studies indicated that the highest stability of GELNs was observed for those isolated by UC and sgUC in both 0.9% and 10% NaCl. Furthermore, GELNs prepared by UC and membrane filtration showed excellent stability in serum. It was also demonstrated that -80\u00b0C provided the optimal storage condition for GELNs. Non-targeted metabolomics revealed the presence of 649 shared metabolites among the GELNs extracted by the four methods, along with method-specific unique metabolites. GELNs extracted by all four methods were internalized by both A549 and PC-9 cells. Among them, UC-isolated GELNs demonstrated the most potent anti-proliferative activity against the lung cancer cells. Through network pharmacology, 21 key targets of UC-isolated GELNs against lung cancer were identified. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations further verified that 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione from GELNs could stably bind to key targets, including Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3\u03b2 (GSK3B), Progesterone Receptor (PGR), and SRC Proto-Oncogene, Non-Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (SRC). This study demonstrates that although all four methods can isolate GELNs, UC is recommended for fundamental research due to its high protein yield, excellent stability, and potent in vitro anti-lung cancer activity. Furthermore, the anti-lung cancer activity of GELNs may be attributed to the regulation of GSK3B, PGR, and SRC by 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione."

Among the therapeutic agents investigated to modulate macrophage-driven inflammation, compounds extracted from the roots of Panax ginseng have been distinguished for their potent anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, attention has shifted toward ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDEs) because of their ability to encapsulate diverse bioactive compounds with high stability and biocompatibility. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of GDEs against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic shock, with a particular focus on macrophage-mediated mechanisms. GDEs isolated from Korean Panax ginseng exhibited a spherical morphology, high stability, and effective encapsulation of bioactive ginsenosides, including Rb1, Rg1, and Rg3. GDEs significantly attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages by reducing toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) glycosylation, thereby inhibiting LPS binding. This suppression of TLR4 glycosylation led to decreased production of nitric oxide and proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1\u03b2, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), as well as inhibition of intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation and NF-\u03baB activation. Furthermore, GDE treatment markedly improved survival and alleviated lung, liver, and spleen damage in an LPS-induced sepsis mouse model. In summary, these findings suggest that GDEs represent a promising nanomedicine strategy for sepsis prevention, offering targeted modulation of macrophage activity without apparent adverse effects."

PGEs were isolated using a tangential flow filtration system, yielding particles with an average diameter of 159.5\u00a0nm and a concentration of 3.9\u2009\u00d7\u20091012 particles/mL. In 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, PGE treatment resulted in a 72.1% reduction in lipid accumulation, as demonstrated by Oil Red O staining, indicating significant inhibition of adipogenic differentiation. Elevated expression of surface markers TET-8 (147.2%) verified the exosomal nature of the isolated vesicles. To determine their role in adipocyte differentiation, we analyzed gene and protein expression of key adipogenic markers-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-\u03b3), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha and beta, and fatty acid-binding protein 4-revealing reductions of 23.6-35.6% and 26.7-35.2%, respectively. These results indicate downregulation of transcriptional and translational pathways driving adipogenesis. Lipogenic regulators, including sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthase, were also suppressed by 24.9-41.0% (gene) and 22.8-24.5% (protein), indicating impaired fatty acid synthesis. Conversely, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) expression increased by up to 53.8% (gene) and 47.9% (protein), implying activation of energy homeostasis signaling. Immunofluorescence analysis showed a reduction in the MitoTracker/DAPI ratio (57.7-60.0%) and an increase in the F-actin/DAPI ratio (39.5-60.8%), indicating decreased mitochondrial activity and enhanced cytoskeletal integrity. These molecular changes were accompanied by AMPK activation and PPAR-\u03b3 inhibition. Collectively, these findings underscore the potential of PGEs as bioactive agents for obesity management by concurrently inhibiting adipogenesis and lipogenesis, providing a strong basis for their application in anti-obesity functional foods and pharmaceutical products."

The optimal concentration of exosomes was determined using the CCK-8 assay. Osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by measuring alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, performing ALP staining, and conducting Alizarin Red S staining. The expression levels of osteogenic markers (collagen type I(COL1), ALP, osteopontin (OPN), and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2)) were quantified at the mRNA (RT-qPCR) and protein (Westem blotting)levels. High-throughput RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analyses (Gene Ontology (GO),Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG)) were employed to identify differentially expressed genes and enriched pathways. Key pathways were validated using specific inhibitors. Exosomes derived from Panax notoginseng promote the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs through the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. This study provides experimental evidence and theoretical support for the application of herbal exosomes in bone tissue engineering and the treatment of osteoporosis.

The ideal treatment for periodontitis involves three key steps: antibacterial treatment, inflammation control, and periodontal regeneration, ultimately leading to the complete restoration of alveolar bone and the full recovery of periodontal function. However, current periodontitis treatments cannot comprehensively solve these issues. In this study, a ginseng-derived exosomes (GEXs)-loaded injectable hydrogel (GEXs@Gel) was designed. GEXs@Gel was thermosensitive with good fluidity, capable of conforming to the intricate contours of periodontal pockets, while withstanding the persistent wash of gingival crevicular fluid. In vitro studies showed that GEXs and GEXs@Gel can inhibit the growth of periodontal pathogenic bacteria, effectively remove biofilms, promote the polarization of macrophages to the anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype, and alleviate cellular oxidative stress. In particular, GEXs@Gel had the functions of promoting bone/angiogenesis and regeneration. In vivo studies showed that GEXs@Gel effectively inhibited inflammation, promoted alveolar bone regeneration, and effectively reversed periodontitis. In summary, GEXs@Gel offers a promising strategy for the treatment of periodontitis."

This study presents a novel approach: integrating atorvastatin (ATOR)-loaded, ginger-derived exosomes (G-EX) into contact lenses to achieve sustained release and enhanced ocular penetration. Exosomes were isolated from ginger using polymer precipitation, characterised (average size \u2248 50.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04.3\u00a0nm; zeta potential\u00a0=\u00a0-23.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.2\u00a0mV), and efficiently loaded with ATOR (70\u00a0%). The ATOR@G-EX formulation was incorporated into contact lenses. Scanning electron and fluorescence microscopy confirmed uniform loading without altering lens structure. The lenses retained key properties, including high optical transmittance (96\u00a0%) and folding endurance (320 folds), supporting functional integrity and biocompatibility. In vitro assays showed controlled ATOR release (67\u00a0% in 2\u00a0h, gradual up to 48\u00a0h), following the Korsmeyer-Peppas model. Ex vivo, ATOR@G-EX lens markedly enhanced transcorneal permeation versus ATOR lens. In vitro cellular studies revealed higher fibroblast viability, faster migration, and 3-4-fold uptake improvement. HET-CAM confirmed minimal ocular irritation. In vivo, ATOR@G-EX lens produced the most pronounced and sustained IOP reduction in the steroid-induced glaucoma rabbit model, with a strong in vitro-in vivo correlation between permeation and efficacy. Treatment restored antioxidant enzyme (GPx 7.4 U/mL versus 3.2 U/mL in untreated positive group), normalised cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-6), and modulated glaucoma markers (upregulated NRF2; downregulated IL-1\u03b2, TIMP, MYOC). Histology confirmed retinal neuroprotection and tissue recovery. In conclusion, this bioinspired ATOR@G-EX-loaded contact lenses show high safety, functionality, and compliance potential, providing a promising platform for patient-friendly ocular therapeutics and future clinical translation."

Chronic neuroinflammation drives progressive retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss independent of intraocular pressure, yet safe, sustained and precise neuroprotective modulation of the retinal inflammatory microenvironment remains a significant challenge. We developed an injectable fibrin gel delivery system loaded with ginseng-derived exosomes (GE-fibrin gel, GE-gel) to modulate microglial polarization, reduce retinal inflammation and promote RGC survival. In vitro, GE showed strong antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects by getting rid of reactive oxygen species caused by oxidative stress and lowering apoptosis in R28 cells. Both GE and GE-gel stopped lipopolysaccharide from causing pro-inflammatory M1 polarization of microglia and increased anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypic change. Intravitreal injection of GE-gel suppressed pro-inflammatory microglial activation, diminished neuroinflammation and improved the survival of RGCs in a chronic ocular hypertension rat model. These results show that GE-gel could promote microglial polarization, change the immune environment in the retina and protect RGCs functionally over the long term. This approach may hopefully provide promising solutions for rapid and effective glaucoma therapy."

Despite the availability of conventional treatments, they are often marred by significant side effects and the associated high costs. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) offer a compelling alternative, owing to their abundant availability, affordability, low immunogenicity, high biocompatibility, and feasibility for large-scale production. These vesicles enhance intercellular communication by transferring intrinsic bioactive molecules. In our research, we delve into the capacity of PEVs to treat RA, highlighting the role of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEVs). By conjugating GDEVs with folic acid (FA), we have developed FA-GDEVs that maintain their inherent immunomodulatory properties. FA-GDEVs are designed to selectively target M1 macrophages in inflamed joints via the folate receptors (FRs). Our in vitro findings indicate that FA-GDEVs promote the polarization towards a reparative M2 macrophage phenotype by modulating the PI3K-AKT pathway. Further corroboration comes from in vivo studies, which demonstrate that FA-GDEVs not only concentrate efficiently in the affected joints but also markedly reduce the manifestations of RA. Synthesizing these findings, it is evident that FA-GDEVs emerge as a hopeful candidate for RA treatment, offering benefits such as safety, affordability, and therapeutic efficacy."

Conventional therapies are limited, and often lead to high recurrence rates. The emerging concept of medicinal food homology has shed light on the potential of ginger as a therapeutic adjuvant for periodontitis, given its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, fresh ginger exhibits poor stability and bioavailability. Ginger exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs), a derivative of ginger, have not been reported to exert therapeutic effects in periodontitis. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic effects of GELNs on tissue damage caused by periodontitis and their underlying mechanisms of action. The GELNs composition was analyzed using a widely targeted metabolome. Stability was assessed using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and zeta potential measurements, flavor was evaluated using an electronic nose, and membrane penetration was studied using confocal microscopy. A periodontitis model was established in SD rats, periodontal clinical indicators were monitored, and histological changes were assessed using H&E and TRAP staining. Co-culture experiments investigate the antioxidant and reparative abilities of GELNs on periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLFs) in inflammatory environment. NF-\u03baB protein expression was examined by immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry. The findings revealed that GELNs demonstrated good stability in different environments and mitigated the pungent taste of the raw ginger. In vivo experiments showed that GELNs improved periodontal clinical parameters and pathology compared with ginger juice. In vitro data suggested that GELNs enhanced the proliferation and migration of PDLFs while reducing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by inhibiting the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway in an inflammatory setting. This study is the first to demonstrate that GELNs have a potential therapeutic effect on periodontitis. GELNs can alleviate oxidative stress (OS) and inflammatory reactions by inhibiting the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. These findings provide a promising method for the treatment of periodontitis by regulating an unbalanced OS state."

Plant-based diets and phytochemicals can support the immune microenvironment in the intestinal epithelial barrier for a balanced immune system by improving the intestinal microecological balance and may have therapeutic potential in colitis. However, there have been only a few reports on the therapeutic potential of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PENs) and the underlying mechanism in colitis. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic effect of PENs from Panax ginseng, ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs), in a mouse model of IBD, with a focus on the intestinal immune microenvironment. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of GENs on acute colitis, we treated GENs in Caco2 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced RAW 264.7 macrophages and analyzed the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and IL-10 by real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Furthermore, we further examined bacterial DNA from feces and determined the alteration of gut microbiota composition in DSS-induced colitis mice after administration of GENs through 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. GENs with low toxicity showed a long-lasting intestinal retention effect for 48 h, which could lead to effective suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 production through inhibition of NF-\u03baB in DSS-induced colitis. As a result, it showed longer colon length and suppressed thickening of the colon wall in the mice treated with GENs. Due to the amelioration of the progression of DSS-induced colitis with GENs treatment, the prolonged survival rate was observed for 17 days compared to 9 days in the PBS-treated group. In the gut microbiota analysis, the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidota was decreased, which means GENs have therapeutic effectiveness against IBD. Ingesting GENs would be expected to slow colitis progression, strengthen the gut microbiota, and maintain gut homeostasis by preventing bacterial dysbiosis. GENs have a therapeutic effect on colitis through modulation of the intestinal microbiota and immune microenvironment. GENs not only ameliorate the inflammation in the damaged intestine by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines but also help balance the microbiota on the intestinal barrier and thereby improve the digestive system."

Herein, ginger-derived exosomes (G-Exos) loaded with berberine (G-Exos@B) to facilitate targeted delivery to the liver through the formation of GR-Exos@B via the coalescence of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)-introduced liposomes (RAL) for effective NASH intervention are developed. The introduction of G-Exos significantly equipped GR-Exos@B to effectively overcome the multi-intestinal barrier, facilitating their exit from the cell in an intact form. Interestingly, the hepatic-targeting of RAL allowed GR-Exos to penetrate the liver more effectively than G-Exos, resulting in 2.39-fold greater accumulation in the liver. In vivo experiments revealed that dual ROS depletion by berberine and GR-Exos synergistically enhanced the therapeutic effect against inhibited oxidative stress and hepatocellular steatosis compared to GR-Exos. Additionally, the macrophage-targeting capability of G-Exos is leveraged to suppress the activation of hepatic NLRP3 inflammasome complexes, transitioning from an M1 pro-inflammatory to an M2 anti-inflammatory state, which helped diminish hepatic macrophage levels and subsequently reduce lipid accumulation. Meanwhile, GR-Exos@B improved insulin sensitivity primarily by strengthening the AMPK/AKT/IRS-1 signaling pathway and inhibiting GSK3-\u03b2 function. Hence, GR-Exos@B shows promise as a potential strategy for alleviating obesity-induced NASH therapy."

The development of targeted and biocompatible drug delivery systems is urgently needed to control pulmonary inflammatory cascades while minimizing systemic toxicity. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles offer a naturally safe and anti-inflammatory platform for therapeutic delivery. Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1), a major bioactive compound from ginseng, possesses potent anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties, whereas lemon-derived EVs (LEVs) exhibit intrinsic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we engineered a multifunctional, biocompatible drug delivery platform, GRb1@LEVs-cRGD, in which ginsenoside Rb1 is incorporated into and fused with LEVs to form hybrid bio-nanovesicles, while the vesicle surface is functionalized with cyclic RGD (cRGD) peptides to target integrin \u03b1v\u03b23 highly expressed in inflamed pulmonary tissues, thereby enhancing site-specific delivery. In vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD effectively inhibited M1 macrophage polarization, suppressed inflammatory cascades, and preserved epithelial-endothelial integrity. Furthermore, exogenous cholesterol loading improved vesicle stability, maintained the pH gradient, and enhanced the loading efficiency of tigecycline and vancomycin by six-fold.

We conducted both in vitro and in vivo experiments using synovial fibroblasts derived from RA patients and a collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) mouse model.

Among the therapeutic agents investigated to modulate macrophage-driven inflammation, compounds extracted from the roots of Panax ginseng have been distinguished for their potent anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, attention has shifted toward ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDEs) because of their ability to encapsulate diverse bioactive compounds with high stability and biocompatibility. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of GDEs against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic shock, with a particular focus on macrophage-mediated mechanisms. GDEs isolated from Korean Panax ginseng exhibited a spherical morphology, high stability, and effective encapsulation of bioactive ginsenosides, including Rb1, Rg1, and Rg3. GDEs significantly attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages by reducing toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) glycosylation, thereby inhibiting LPS binding. This suppression of TLR4 glycosylation led to decreased production of nitric oxide and proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1\u03b2, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), as well as inhibition of intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation and NF-\u03baB activation. Furthermore, GDE treatment markedly improved survival and alleviated lung, liver, and spleen damage in an LPS-induced sepsis mouse model. In summary, these findings suggest that GDEs represent a promising nanomedicine strategy for sepsis prevention, offering targeted modulation of macrophage activity without apparent adverse effects."

Plant-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have emerged as promising therapeutic agents due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. This study conducted a network meta-analysis to identify the most effective plant-derived sEVs for reducing sepsis-induced inflammation and oxidative stress. The analysis included 13 studies evaluating 10 plant-derived sEVs in sepsis-mimicking conditions, with primary outcomes focused on cytokine levels and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in vitro and in vivo. Secondary outcomes included nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression and cell viability. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251011005). Ginger-derived sEVs were identified as the most effective, significantly reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), increasing the anti-inflammatory cytokine (interleukin-10), and suppressing ROS production. They also enhanced Nrf2 expression and improved cell viability, highlighting their role in antioxidant defense and cytoprotection. In conclusion, ginger-derived sEVs are the most effective plant-derived sEVs for mitigating sepsis-induced inflammation and oxidation in both in vitro and in vivo sepsis-mimicking models."

Our study shows that fully natural ginger-derived exosomes (GEXO) effectively inhibited GBM progression through dual mechanisms: (a) direct activation of apoptotic pathways in GBM cells, and (b) induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) that transforms dead tumor cells into endogenous vaccines. Mechanistically, GEXO demonstrated superior blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration through clathrin-, caveolin- and macropinocytosis-mediated transcytosis, followed by tumor-specific accumulation via exocytosis. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that GEXO promoted an immunogenic shift in dying GBM cells, enhancing dendritic cell maturation and cytotoxic T-cell responses.

Nevertheless, the therapeutically active components responsible for its cardioprotective properties have not been fully elucidated. Extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (ELNs) have recently emerged as a promising class of natural nanocarriers with diverse applications in medicine and biology. However, it remains uncertain whether American Ginseng-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (AGELNs) exhibit cardioprotective effects. This investigation aims to analyze the effects of AGELNs on Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) and the mechanisms. Gradient ultracentrifugation was employed to isolate and purify AGELNs, while HPLC was employed for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of saponin molecules in AGELNs. Fluorescently labeled AGELNs were used to assess their uptake in cardiac tissue and cardiomyocytes. DIC models in mice and zebrafish were employed to evaluate the effect of AGELNs against DIC. Transcriptomics, RT-PCR, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and pharmacological agonist and antagonist treatments were used to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of AGELNs in vivo and in vitro. AGELNs significantly enhanced cardiac function in mice and zebrafish models, evidenced by increased fractional shortening (FS), stroke volume, heart rate, and pericardial sac areas. Concomitantly, AGELNs demonstrated pronounced cardiac accumulation in Dox-treated mice, zebrafish, and cardiomyocytes. Transcriptomic and cellular analyses demonstrated AGELNs attenuate DIC by suppressing lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Mechanistically, AGELNs predominantly inhibit cardiomyocyte ferroptosis by targeting GPX4 and activating the NRF2/HO-1/GPX4 pathway. Furthermore, the cardioprotective effect of AGELNs against DIC has been found to be closely linked to its specific combination of bioactive saponins, including Rb1, Rg1, Re, and Rd. AGELNs significantly mitigated DIC by activating GPX4 and suppressing cardiomyocyte ferroptosis in vitro and in vivo. These insights are valuable for the formulation of AGELNs therapies aimed at combating DIC."

Diet manipulation is the foundation of prevention and treatment of obesity and diabetes. The molecular mechanisms that mediate the diet-based prevention of insulin resistance, however, remain to be identified. Here, we report that treatment with orally administered ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) prevents insulin resistance by restoring homeostasis in gut epithelial Foxa2 mediated signaling in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Methods: Ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) were added into drinking water to treat high-fat diet fed mice for at least one year or throughout their life span. A micro array profile of intestinal, liver and fat tissue of GDNP treated mice was used to analyze their gene expression profile. Genes associated with metabolism or insulin signaling were further quantified using the real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was used for determining the interaction between Foxa2 protein and phosphatic acid lipid nanoparticles. Results: HFD-feeding inhibited the expression of Foxa2; the GDNPs increased the expression of Foxa2 and protected Foxa2 against Akt-1 mediated phosphorylation and subsequent inactivation of Foxa2. Increasing expression of Foxa2 leads to altering the composition of intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) exosomes of mice fed a HFD and prevents IEC exosome mediated insulin resistance. Collectively, oral administration of GDNP prevents insulin resistance in HFD mice. Interestingly, oral administration of GDNP also extended the life span of the mice and inhibited skin inflammation. Conclusion: Our findings showed that GDNP treatment can prevent HFD-induced obesity and insulin resistance via protecting the Foxa2 from Akt-1 mediated phosphorylation. GDNP treatment provides an alternative approach based on diet manipulation for the development of therapeutic interventions for obesity."

Plant-based diets and phytochemicals can support the immune microenvironment in the intestinal epithelial barrier for a balanced immune system by improving the intestinal microecological balance and may have therapeutic potential in colitis. However, there have been only a few reports on the therapeutic potential of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PENs) and the underlying mechanism in colitis. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic effect of PENs from Panax ginseng, ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs), in a mouse model of IBD, with a focus on the intestinal immune microenvironment. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of GENs on acute colitis, we treated GENs in Caco2 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced RAW 264.7 macrophages and analyzed the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and IL-10 by real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Furthermore, we further examined bacterial DNA from feces and determined the alteration of gut microbiota composition in DSS-induced colitis mice after administration of GENs through 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. GENs with low toxicity showed a long-lasting intestinal retention effect for 48 h, which could lead to effective suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 production through inhibition of NF-\u03baB in DSS-induced colitis. As a result, it showed longer colon length and suppressed thickening of the colon wall in the mice treated with GENs. Due to the amelioration of the progression of DSS-induced colitis with GENs treatment, the prolonged survival rate was observed for 17 days compared to 9 days in the PBS-treated group. In the gut microbiota analysis, the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidota was decreased, which means GENs have therapeutic effectiveness against IBD. Ingesting GENs would be expected to slow colitis progression, strengthen the gut microbiota, and maintain gut homeostasis by preventing bacterial dysbiosis. GENs have a therapeutic effect on colitis through modulation of the intestinal microbiota and immune microenvironment. GENs not only ameliorate the inflammation in the damaged intestine by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines but also help balance the microbiota on the intestinal barrier and thereby improve the digestive system."

A central translational constraint is pharmacokinetics and the \"microbiota gatekeeping\" effect: many parent ginsenosides show limited oral absorption and require microbiota-mediated deglycosylation, resulting in delayed and variable systemic exposure across individuals. To address this bottleneck, we discuss pragmatic translational directions including bioconversion/pre-transformation to enrich active metabolites, biomimetic delivery platforms such as ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles to improve exposure and tissue uptake, and mechanism-guided combinations (e.g., with immune checkpoint blockade). Finally, we outline how biomarker-informed stratification and AI/ML-enabled, hypothesis-generating optimization of delivery/formulation may support more predictable clinical development."

These platforms combine exceptional biocompatibility, negligible immunogenicity, and renewable sourcing with tunable drug loading, targeted delivery, and controlled release properties. This review synthesizes translational advances from 2020 to 2026, covering scalable isolation/bioprocessing (bioreactors, elicitation), multi-parametric physicochemical/multi-omics characterization, rational engineering/hybridization, and rigorous in vitro/in vivo assessments of uptake, biodistribution, pharmacokinetic (PK), and efficacy. Phytosomes and PBNPs markedly enhance oral bioavailability and targeted delivery of lipophilic phytochemicals, while PDEVs offer unique immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and gene-regulatory activities. Hybrid and green-synthesized systems provide structural stability, redox modulation, and synergistic effects, and self-assembled/multifunctional composites address solubilization barriers with stimuli-responsive design.

Despite challenges, including methodological heterogeneity, variable yields, long-term safety uncertainties (notably for inorganic hybrids), and regulatory ambiguities, emerging strategies such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-engineered plant line; artificial-intelligence-driven process optimization; standardized guidelines, and integrated clinical, intellectual property, and commercialization frameworks are progressively addressing these barriers. Collectively, these advances position plant-derived nanocarriers as immunologically privileged, eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic and mammalian platforms, laying the foundation for a sustainable era of precision phytomedicine."

PGEs were isolated using a tangential flow filtration system, yielding particles with an average diameter of 159.5\u00a0nm and a concentration of 3.9\u2009\u00d7\u20091012 particles/mL. In 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, PGE treatment resulted in a 72.1% reduction in lipid accumulation, as demonstrated by Oil Red O staining, indicating significant inhibition of adipogenic differentiation. Elevated expression of surface markers TET-8 (147.2%) verified the exosomal nature of the isolated vesicles. To determine their role in adipocyte differentiation, we analyzed gene and protein expression of key adipogenic markers-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-\u03b3), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha and beta, and fatty acid-binding protein 4-revealing reductions of 23.6-35.6% and 26.7-35.2%, respectively. These results indicate downregulation of transcriptional and translational pathways driving adipogenesis. Lipogenic regulators, including sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthase, were also suppressed by 24.9-41.0% (gene) and 22.8-24.5% (protein), indicating impaired fatty acid synthesis. Conversely, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) expression increased by up to 53.8% (gene) and 47.9% (protein), implying activation of energy homeostasis signaling. Immunofluorescence analysis showed a reduction in the MitoTracker/DAPI ratio (57.7-60.0%) and an increase in the F-actin/DAPI ratio (39.5-60.8%), indicating decreased mitochondrial activity and enhanced cytoskeletal integrity. These molecular changes were accompanied by AMPK activation and PPAR-\u03b3 inhibition.

Moreover, the discovery of novel drugs for glioblastoma has been limited hence drug repurposing has gained traction leveraging existing drugs like itraconazole. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have potential as a natural pharmaceutical delivery system owing to their therapeutic capabilities. These PDEVs may be a good candidate for blood-brain barrier permeation due to their biomolecular composition and high drug loading efficiency of itraconazole. In this work, PDEVs isolated from aloe aborescens (aloe), Zingiber officinale (ginger) and Nigella sativa seeds [black cumin seeds (BCS)] were compared in terms of their physicochemical properties, drug release kinetics, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake in glioblastoma cells and BBB permeability. Results All PDEVs displayed nanoscale sizes ranging from 103.5 to 141\u00a0nm with negative surface charge and a spherical morphological shape observed via SEM. The drug release kinetics was assessed using different mathematical models depicting the PDEVs prolonged drug release with <\u200950% releasing over 21 days. The cytotoxicity studies showed that the PDEVs resulted in a higher cell viability in the non-cancerous cell line compared to A172 glioblastoma cell line. The cellular internalization of the drug showed poor uptake of blank PDEVs compared to loaded PDEVs in glioblastoma cells. The BBB permeability test showed that ginger and aloe EVs permeated the BBB whilst BCS blank and loaded EVs did not permeate the BBB. Conclusions This delivery system improves the ability of plant-derived extracellular vesicles to cross the blood-brain barrier, addressing a key challenge in delivering treatments to the brain. Through successful encapsulation of itraconazole, it paves the way for glioblastoma treatment by repurposing itraconazole with improved efficacy and reduced side effects. Furthermore, this can be incorporated in various drug delivery vehicles depending on the route of administration and therapeutic outcome i.e. intranasal, intravenous, or oral route. Future studies focus on determining the composition of PDEVs to enable engineering strategies for next generation targeting via surface modification."

The search terms include Panax ginseng, Panax ginseng ingredients, ginsenosides, ginseng polysaccharides, ginseng glycoproteins, ginseng volatile oil, CVDs, heart, and cardiac. 132 articles were ultimately included in the review. The ingredients in Panax ginseng that manifested cardiovascular protective effects are mainly ginsenosides (especially ginsenoside Rb1). Ginsenosides protected against CVDs such as ischemic reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis and heart failure mainly through improving energy metabolism, inhibiting hyper-autophagy, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and promoting secretion of exosomes. Panax ginseng and its active ingredients have a particularly prominent effect on improving myocardial energy metabolism remodeling in protecting against CVDs.

This study evaluated the therapeutic potential of GDEVs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation and joint destruction. We conducted both in vitro and in vivo experiments using synovial fibroblasts derived from RA patients and a collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) mouse model. In vitro, GDEVs significantly suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) and interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2 and downstream mediators IL-6, Cox-2, and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) and inhibited the proliferation and migration of RA synovial fibroblasts. In vivo, oral administration of GDEVs to CAIA mice reduced arthritis severity, attenuated synovitis, preserved cartilage integrity, and suppressed osteoclast activation. GDEVs were stable against gastric digestion and were efficiently taken up by intestinal cells, supporting their oral availability. Microarray and RNA sequencing identified miR-149 as a key regulatory molecule in GDEVs, associated with the suppression of inflammation-related signaling pathways, including Ras signaling and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. These findings highlight the potential of GDEVs as an anti-inflammatory therapy for RA. Given their stability and bioavailability, the oral administration of GDEVs could be a promising non-invasive treatment for future clinical applications."

Nevertheless, its poor colon-targeting efficiency, insufficient capacity to penetrate the intestinal mucus layer, and low cellular internalization significantly compromise therapeutic outcomes in UC treatment. To address these critical limitations, herein we rationally designed a exosome-hydrogel hybrid system (Cel-GDNPs@Gel) by first encapsulating Cel into ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDNPs), which were subsequently dispersed within a glycyrrhizic acid (GA) hydrogel matrix. Experimental studies confirmed that GDNPs were successfully isolated and characterized with uniform size distribution and round- or cup-shaped morphology, and Cel was successful encapsulated into GDNPs. The GA hydrogel endowed the system with excellent pH-sensitivity and robust mucoadhesive properties, thereby facilitating enhanced accumulation and prolonged retention at the colon site. Moreover, GDNPs promoted efficient mucus penetration and cellular uptake of Cel. Notably, both GDNPs and GA could exert synergistic therapeutic effects with Cel. Accordingly, in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that Cel-GDNPs@Gel significantly alleviated colitis symptoms, suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, attenuated oxidative stress, regulated macrophage polarization, promoted intestinal mucosal barrier repair, and restored intestinal homeostasis. Furthermore, this delivery system exhibited favorable biosafety with no obvious systemic toxicity.

The aim of this study was focused on the potential of ginsenoside (Gn)-Rh2 from ginseng exosomes (Gn-Exos), a primary bioactive constituent of Panax ginseng, to enhance chemotherapy sensitivity in NSCLC. In this study, Gn-Exo was isolated and identified. The intake and internal organ distribution of PKH26-labelled Gn-Exos was detected using immunofluorescence and in vivo imaging. Transwell migration, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation, cell counting, and wound healing experiments were performed to assess NSCLC cell proliferation and migration. A mouse tumor xenograft model was constructed to assess the roles of Gn-Exos and the main active ingredient Gn-Rh2 in NSCLC progression and metastasis in vivo. Gn-Exos can inhibit the proliferation, migration, cancer growth, and pulmonary metastasis of NSCLC cells. Mass spectrometry analysis confirmed that the main component of Gn-Exos was Gn-Rh2. The results also showed that Gn-Rh2 inhibited the proliferation and migration of NSCLC cells in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. Comprehensive proteomic analysis identified ribonucleotide reductase regulatory subunit M2 (RRM2) and ubiquitin-specific protease 22 (USP22) as key targets significantly downregulated by Gn-Rh2. Experimental results demonstrated that Gn-Rh2 disrupts the interaction to USP22, disrupting the interaction between USP22 and RRM2, leading to ubiquitination degradation of RRM2. Animal experiments further confirmed that Gn-Rh2 sensitized NSCLC cells to chemotherapy, particularly cisplatin. These findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of Gn-Rh2 in enhancing chemotherapy sensitivity and suggest a promising therapeutic strategy for NSCLC."

American ginseng is well known as a traditional herb and is commonly used in clinical decoctions. However, the nano-characteristics and chemical composition of American-ginseng-derived vesicle-like nanoparticles (AGVNs) in decoctions are unclear. In this study, the gradient centrifugation method was used to extract and isolate AGVNs. A metabolomic method based on high-resolution mass spectrometry was established to analyze small molecules loaded in AGVNs. Zebrafish and RAW264.7 cells were employed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of AGVNs. The results showed that the particle size of AGVNs was generally 243.6 nm, and the zeta potential was -14.5 mV. AGVNs were found to contain 26 ginsenosides (14 protopanaxadiols, 11 protopanaxatriols, and 1 oleanolic acid). Ginsenoside Rb1 and malonyl-ginsenoside Rb1 tended to be enriched in AGVNs. Moreover, AGVNs were found to exert anti-inflammatory effects by reducing macrophage migration in zebrafish and regulating inflammatory factor (NO, TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, IL-10) secretion in RAW 264.7 cells.

Among the therapeutic agents investigated to modulate macrophage-driven inflammation, compounds extracted from the roots of Panax ginseng have been distinguished for their potent anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, attention has shifted toward ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDEs) because of their ability to encapsulate diverse bioactive compounds with high stability and biocompatibility. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of GDEs against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic shock, with a particular focus on macrophage-mediated mechanisms. GDEs isolated from Korean Panax ginseng exhibited a spherical morphology, high stability, and effective encapsulation of bioactive ginsenosides, including Rb1, Rg1, and Rg3. GDEs significantly attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages by reducing toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) glycosylation, thereby inhibiting LPS binding. This suppression of TLR4 glycosylation led to decreased production of nitric oxide and proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1\u03b2, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), as well as inhibition of intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation and NF-\u03baB activation. Furthermore, GDE treatment markedly improved survival and alleviated lung, liver, and spleen damage in an LPS-induced sepsis mouse model. In summary, these findings suggest that GDEs represent a promising nanomedicine strategy for sepsis prevention, offering targeted modulation of macrophage activity without apparent adverse effects."

Our study shows that fully natural ginger-derived exosomes (GEXO) effectively inhibited GBM progression through dual mechanisms: (a) direct activation of apoptotic pathways in GBM cells, and (b) induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) that transforms dead tumor cells into endogenous vaccines. Mechanistically, GEXO demonstrated superior blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration through clathrin-, caveolin- and macropinocytosis-mediated transcytosis, followed by tumor-specific accumulation via exocytosis. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that GEXO promoted an immunogenic shift in dying GBM cells, enhancing dendritic cell maturation and cytotoxic T-cell responses. In orthotopic GL261 and CT2A models, GEXO significantly prolonged survival without observable toxicity.

Nevertheless, the therapeutically active components responsible for its cardioprotective properties have not been fully elucidated. Extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (ELNs) have recently emerged as a promising class of natural nanocarriers with diverse applications in medicine and biology. However, it remains uncertain whether American Ginseng-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (AGELNs) exhibit cardioprotective effects. This investigation aims to analyze the effects of AGELNs on Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) and the mechanisms. Gradient ultracentrifugation was employed to isolate and purify AGELNs, while HPLC was employed for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of saponin molecules in AGELNs. Fluorescently labeled AGELNs were used to assess their uptake in cardiac tissue and cardiomyocytes. DIC models in mice and zebrafish were employed to evaluate the effect of AGELNs against DIC. Transcriptomics, RT-PCR, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and pharmacological agonist and antagonist treatments were used to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of AGELNs in vivo and in vitro. AGELNs significantly enhanced cardiac function in mice and zebrafish models, evidenced by increased fractional shortening (FS), stroke volume, heart rate, and pericardial sac areas. Concomitantly, AGELNs demonstrated pronounced cardiac accumulation in Dox-treated mice, zebrafish, and cardiomyocytes. Transcriptomic and cellular analyses demonstrated AGELNs attenuate DIC by suppressing lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Mechanistically, AGELNs predominantly inhibit cardiomyocyte ferroptosis by targeting GPX4 and activating the NRF2/HO-1/GPX4 pathway. Furthermore, the cardioprotective effect of AGELNs against DIC has been found to be closely linked to its specific combination of bioactive saponins, including Rb1, Rg1, Re, and Rd. AGELNs significantly mitigated DIC by activating GPX4 and suppressing cardiomyocyte ferroptosis in vitro and in vivo. These insights are valuable for the formulation of AGELNs therapies aimed at combating DIC."

These platforms combine exceptional biocompatibility, negligible immunogenicity, and renewable sourcing with tunable drug loading, targeted delivery, and controlled release properties. This review synthesizes translational advances from 2020 to 2026, covering scalable isolation/bioprocessing (bioreactors, elicitation), multi-parametric physicochemical/multi-omics characterization, rational engineering/hybridization, and rigorous in vitro/in vivo assessments of uptake, biodistribution, pharmacokinetic (PK), and efficacy. Phytosomes and PBNPs markedly enhance oral bioavailability and targeted delivery of lipophilic phytochemicals, while PDEVs offer unique immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and gene-regulatory activities. Hybrid and green-synthesized systems provide structural stability, redox modulation, and synergistic effects, and self-assembled/multifunctional composites address solubilization barriers with stimuli-responsive design. Early-phase human studies on grapefruit-, ginger-, turmeric-, and ginseng-derived PDEVs report excellent short-term safety, favorable PK, and preliminary bioactivity signals, with no observed immunogenicity or dose-limiting toxicities; however, these trials remain exploratory, constrained by small sample sizes and safety-focused endpoints. Despite challenges, including methodological heterogeneity, variable yields, long-term safety uncertainties (notably for inorganic hybrids), and regulatory ambiguities, emerging strategies such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-engineered plant line; artificial-intelligence-driven process optimization; standardized guidelines, and integrated clinical, intellectual property, and commercialization frameworks are progressively addressing these barriers. Collectively, these advances position plant-derived nanocarriers as immunologically privileged, eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic and mammalian platforms, laying the foundation for a sustainable era of precision phytomedicine."

Moreover, the discovery of novel drugs for glioblastoma has been limited hence drug repurposing has gained traction leveraging existing drugs like itraconazole. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have potential as a natural pharmaceutical delivery system owing to their therapeutic capabilities. These PDEVs may be a good candidate for blood-brain barrier permeation due to their biomolecular composition and high drug loading efficiency of itraconazole. In this work, PDEVs isolated from aloe aborescens (aloe), Zingiber officinale (ginger) and Nigella sativa seeds [black cumin seeds (BCS)] were compared in terms of their physicochemical properties, drug release kinetics, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake in glioblastoma cells and BBB permeability. Results All PDEVs displayed nanoscale sizes ranging from 103.5 to 141\u00a0nm with negative surface charge and a spherical morphological shape observed via SEM. The drug release kinetics was assessed using different mathematical models depicting the PDEVs prolonged drug release with <\u200950% releasing over 21 days. The cytotoxicity studies showed that the PDEVs resulted in a higher cell viability in the non-cancerous cell line compared to A172 glioblastoma cell line. The cellular internalization of the drug showed poor uptake of blank PDEVs compared to loaded PDEVs in glioblastoma cells. The BBB permeability test showed that ginger and aloe EVs permeated the BBB whilst BCS blank and loaded EVs did not permeate the BBB. Conclusions This delivery system improves the ability of plant-derived extracellular vesicles to cross the blood-brain barrier, addressing a key challenge in delivering treatments to the brain. Through successful encapsulation of itraconazole, it paves the way for glioblastoma treatment by repurposing itraconazole with improved efficacy and reduced side effects. Furthermore, this can be incorporated in various drug delivery vehicles depending on the route of administration and therapeutic outcome i.e. intranasal, intravenous, or oral route. Future studies focus on determining the composition of PDEVs to enable engineering strategies for next generation targeting via surface modification."

Nevertheless, its poor colon-targeting efficiency, insufficient capacity to penetrate the intestinal mucus layer, and low cellular internalization significantly compromise therapeutic outcomes in UC treatment. To address these critical limitations, herein we rationally designed a exosome-hydrogel hybrid system (Cel-GDNPs@Gel) by first encapsulating Cel into ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDNPs), which were subsequently dispersed within a glycyrrhizic acid (GA) hydrogel matrix. Experimental studies confirmed that GDNPs were successfully isolated and characterized with uniform size distribution and round- or cup-shaped morphology, and Cel was successful encapsulated into GDNPs. The GA hydrogel endowed the system with excellent pH-sensitivity and robust mucoadhesive properties, thereby facilitating enhanced accumulation and prolonged retention at the colon site. Moreover, GDNPs promoted efficient mucus penetration and cellular uptake of Cel. Notably, both GDNPs and GA could exert synergistic therapeutic effects with Cel. Accordingly, in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that Cel-GDNPs@Gel significantly alleviated colitis symptoms, suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, attenuated oxidative stress, regulated macrophage polarization, promoted intestinal mucosal barrier repair, and restored intestinal homeostasis.

This cross-kingdom RNA delivery reprogrammed neuronal stress responses, reduced infarct volume, preserved neuronal morphology, and restored electrophysiological function. Collectively, our findings establish a scalable platform for plant-based nanotherapeutics and highlight the translational potential of NotoEV in treating ischemic stroke."

This study evaluated the therapeutic potential of GDEVs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation and joint destruction. We conducted both in vitro and in vivo experiments using synovial fibroblasts derived from RA patients and a collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) mouse model. In vitro, GDEVs significantly suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) and interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2 and downstream mediators IL-6, Cox-2, and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) and inhibited the proliferation and migration of RA synovial fibroblasts. In vivo, oral administration of GDEVs to CAIA mice reduced arthritis severity, attenuated synovitis, preserved cartilage integrity, and suppressed osteoclast activation. GDEVs were stable against gastric digestion and were efficiently taken up by intestinal cells, supporting their oral availability. Microarray and RNA sequencing identified miR-149 as a key regulatory molecule in GDEVs, associated with the suppression of inflammation-related signaling pathways, including Ras signaling and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. These findings highlight the potential of GDEVs as an anti-inflammatory therapy for RA. Given their stability and bioavailability, the oral administration of GDEVs could be a promising non-invasive treatment for future clinical applications."

Plant-based diets and phytochemicals can support the immune microenvironment in the intestinal epithelial barrier for a balanced immune system by improving the intestinal microecological balance and may have therapeutic potential in colitis. However, there have been only a few reports on the therapeutic potential of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PENs) and the underlying mechanism in colitis. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic effect of PENs from Panax ginseng, ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs), in a mouse model of IBD, with a focus on the intestinal immune microenvironment. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of GENs on acute colitis, we treated GENs in Caco2 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced RAW 264.7 macrophages and analyzed the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and IL-10 by real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Furthermore, we further examined bacterial DNA from feces and determined the alteration of gut microbiota composition in DSS-induced colitis mice after administration of GENs through 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. GENs with low toxicity showed a long-lasting intestinal retention effect for 48 h, which could lead to effective suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 production through inhibition of NF-\u03baB in DSS-induced colitis. As a result, it showed longer colon length and suppressed thickening of the colon wall in the mice treated with GENs. Due to the amelioration of the progression of DSS-induced colitis with GENs treatment, the prolonged survival rate was observed for 17 days compared to 9 days in the PBS-treated group. In the gut microbiota analysis, the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidota was decreased, which means GENs have therapeutic effectiveness against IBD. Ingesting GENs would be expected to slow colitis progression, strengthen the gut microbiota, and maintain gut homeostasis by preventing bacterial dysbiosis. GENs have a therapeutic effect on colitis through modulation of the intestinal microbiota and immune microenvironment. GENs not only ameliorate the inflammation in the damaged intestine by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines but also help balance the microbiota on the intestinal barrier and thereby improve the digestive system."

Diet manipulation is the foundation of prevention and treatment of obesity and diabetes. The molecular mechanisms that mediate the diet-based prevention of insulin resistance, however, remain to be identified. Here, we report that treatment with orally administered ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) prevents insulin resistance by restoring homeostasis in gut epithelial Foxa2 mediated signaling in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Methods: Ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) were added into drinking water to treat high-fat diet fed mice for at least one year or throughout their life span. A micro array profile of intestinal, liver and fat tissue of GDNP treated mice was used to analyze their gene expression profile. Genes associated with metabolism or insulin signaling were further quantified using the real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was used for determining the interaction between Foxa2 protein and phosphatic acid lipid nanoparticles. Results: HFD-feeding inhibited the expression of Foxa2; the GDNPs increased the expression of Foxa2 and protected Foxa2 against Akt-1 mediated phosphorylation and subsequent inactivation of Foxa2. Increasing expression of Foxa2 leads to altering the composition of intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) exosomes of mice fed a HFD and prevents IEC exosome mediated insulin resistance. Collectively, oral administration of GDNP prevents insulin resistance in HFD mice. Interestingly, oral administration of GDNP also extended the life span of the mice and inhibited skin inflammation. Conclusion: Our findings showed that GDNP treatment can prevent HFD-induced obesity and insulin resistance via protecting the Foxa2 from Akt-1 mediated phosphorylation. GDNP treatment provides an alternative approach based on diet manipulation for the development of therapeutic interventions for obesity."

PGEs were isolated using a tangential flow filtration system, yielding particles with an average diameter of 159.5\u00a0nm and a concentration of 3.9\u2009\u00d7\u20091012 particles/mL. In 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, PGE treatment resulted in a 72.1% reduction in lipid accumulation, as demonstrated by Oil Red O staining, indicating significant inhibition of adipogenic differentiation. Elevated expression of surface markers TET-8 (147.2%) verified the exosomal nature of the isolated vesicles. To determine their role in adipocyte differentiation, we analyzed gene and protein expression of key adipogenic markers-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-\u03b3), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha and beta, and fatty acid-binding protein 4-revealing reductions of 23.6-35.6% and 26.7-35.2%, respectively. These results indicate downregulation of transcriptional and translational pathways driving adipogenesis. Lipogenic regulators, including sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthase, were also suppressed by 24.9-41.0% (gene) and 22.8-24.5% (protein), indicating impaired fatty acid synthesis. Conversely, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) expression increased by up to 53.8% (gene) and 47.9% (protein), implying activation of energy homeostasis signaling. Immunofluorescence analysis showed a reduction in the MitoTracker/DAPI ratio (57.7-60.0%) and an increase in the F-actin/DAPI ratio (39.5-60.8%), indicating decreased mitochondrial activity and enhanced cytoskeletal integrity. These molecular changes were accompanied by AMPK activation and PPAR-\u03b3 inhibition. Collectively, these findings underscore the potential of PGEs as bioactive agents for obesity management by concurrently inhibiting adipogenesis and lipogenesis, providing a strong basis for their application in anti-obesity functional foods and pharmaceutical products."

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) display a continuum of different polarization states between tumoricidal M1 phenotype and tumor-supportive M2 phenotypes, with a lower M1/M2 ratio correlating with tumor growth, angiogenesis and invasion. We investigated whether EVs from ginseng can alter M2-like polarization both in vitro and in vivo to promote cancer immunotherapy. A novel EVs-liked ginseng-derived nanoparticles (GDNPs) were isolated and characterized from Panax ginseng C. A. Mey. Using GDNPs as an immunopotentiator for altering M2 polarized macrophages, we analyzed associated surface markers, genes and cytokines of macrophages treated with GDNPs. Mice bearing B16F10 melanoma were treated with GDNPs therapy. Tumor growth were assessed, and TAM populations were evaluated by FACS and IF. GDNPs significantly promoted the polarization of M2 to M1 phenotype and produce total reactive oxygen species, resulting in increasing apoptosis of mouse melanoma cells. GDNP-induced M1 polarization was found to depend upon Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 and myeloid differentiation antigen 88 (MyD88)-mediated signaling. Moreover, ceramide lipids and proteins of GDNPs may play an important role in macrophage polarization via TLR4 activation. We found that GDNPs treatment significantly suppressed melanoma growth in tumor-bearing mice with increased presence of M1 macrophages detected in the tumor tissue. GDNPs can alter M2 polarization both in vitro and in vivo, which contributes to an antitumor response. The polarization of macrophages induced by GDNPs is largely dependent on TLR4 and MyD88 signalling. GDNPs as an immunomodulator participate in mammalian immune response and may represent a new class of nano-drugs in cancer immunotherapy."

However, the stability of lecithin nano-lipids is problematic due to the degradation of lecithin, causing a decrease in pH. In this study, the modification of the conventional nano-lipid-based soybean lecithin was demonstrated. Ginger-oil-derived Zingiber officinale was used along with lecithin, cholesterol and span 80 to fabricate nano-lipids (GL nano-lipids) using a thin-film method. TEM and a confocal microscope were used to elucidate GL nano-lipids' liposome-like morphology. The average size of the resultant nano-lipid was 249.1 nm with monodistribution (PDI = 0.021). The \u03b6 potential of GL nano-lipids was negative, similarly to as-prepared nano-lipid-based lecithin. GL nano-lipid were highly stable over 60 days of storage at room temperature in terms of size and \u03b6 potential. A shift in pH value from alkaline to acid was detected in lecithin nano-lipids, while with the incorporation of ginger oil, the pH value of nano-lipid dispersion was around 7.0. Furthermore, due to the richness of shogaol-6 and other active compounds in ginger oil, the GL nano-lipid was endowed with intrinsic antibacterial activity. In addition, the sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay and live/dead imaging revealed the excellent biocompatibility of GL nano-lipids. Notably, GL nano-lipids were capable of carrying hydrophobic compounds such as curcumin and performed a pH-dependent release profile. A subsequent characterization showed their suitable potential for drug delivery systems."

While both are utilized for drug delivery, they exhibit distinct source-specific bioactive payloads (gingerols/shogaols in ginger vs. ginsenosides in ginseng) and tailored therapeutic applications.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nBoth ginger-derived extracellular vesicles and ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles represent a novel class of phytotherapeutic delivery systems characterized by their ability to facilitate cross-kingdom communication. Ginger EVs show strong colon and macrophage targeting, as well as robust resistance to acidic degradation in the stomach. Similarly, ginseng-derived exosomes exhibit excellent biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. Mechanistic studies highlight their shared ability to modulate immune microenvironments; notably, both GE and GE-gel stopped lipopolysaccharide from causing pro-inflammatory M1 polarization of microglia and increased anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypic change. Despite these similarities, their chemical composition reflects their parent plants, with ginger-derived vesicles containing cytotoxic gingerols and shogaols, and ginseng-derived vesicles containing active ginsenoside constituents such as Gn-Rh2. Unlike conventional extracts of herbal medicine, which lose critical compounds during drying or alcohol-based processing, PDEs derived from fresh plant tissues preserve native phytochemical integrity and enhance bioactivity. The application of these vesicles is expanding into oncology, where the transcriptomic analysis indicated that GEVs regulate the cell cycle and p53 signaling pathways, thereby inducing cancer cell apoptosis.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) represent a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to mammalian EVs, avoiding ethical concerns and production bottlenecks.\n*   Geographical variation in ginger sources alters the lipid composition of GELNs, creating a natural library of lipids that influence B-cell internalization via specific protein interactions.\n*   Boiling ginger extracellular vesicles (T-GEVs) structurally reconfigures them, enriching their surface architecture with vesicle trafficking regulators like ARF1 and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein to enhance intestinal targeting.\n*   Ginseng-derived exosomes facilitate cross-kingdom miRNA delivery, which can reprogram neuronal stress responses and preserve mitochondrial stabilization after ischemic injury.\n*   Biomimetic fusion of ginger exosomes with tumor cell membranes allows for a hybrid vaccine approach, enhancing dendritic cell maturation via TLR4 signaling.\n*   Ginger EVs act as an effective oral therapeutic agent for ulcerative colitis by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines through the inhibition of the NF-\u03baB pathway.\n*   Ginsenosides, which often face limited oral bioavailability, are effectively shielded or delivered by ginseng-derived nanovesicles, enhancing their therapeutic concentration.\n*   The use of 3D bioreactor systems has enabled the massive, scalable production of plant-derived and ginseng-loaded vesicles, overcoming previous extraction limitations.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Ginger vesicles frequently show potent modulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and are highly utilized for targeting gut-related pathologies. Conversely, ginseng vesicles are prominently associated with systemic immunomodulatory effects, osteogenic differentiation, and neuroprotection.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThis assessment synthesizes evidence regarding plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) from ginger (*Zingiber officinale*) and ginseng (*Panax ginseng*). Both serve as biocompatible nanocarriers, yet their therapeutic utility varies based on source-specific biochemical cargo and specialized engineering for tissue-specific delivery.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nGinger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) are widely documented for their ability to cross biological barriers and mitigate inflammatory responses. Research confirms that GELNs modulate the NLRP3 inflammasome by blocking its assembly, specifically noting that the lipid components, rather than proteins or RNAs, mediate this inhibitory effect. Furthermore, GELNs are highly effective in cross-kingdom communication, evidenced by the delivery of miRNAs like osa-miR164d which reprogram macrophages to alleviate colitis. \n\nGinseng-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEs/GENs) similarly exhibit anti-inflammatory efficacy but are frequently highlighted for systemic benefits including neuroprotection, promotion of osteogenic differentiation via the PI3K/AKT pathway, and sensitization of cancer cells to chemotherapy. The literature highlights that boiling ginger vesicles produces T-GEVs with enhanced trafficking regulators, demonstrating that processing techniques fundamentally alter PDEV efficacy. Both platforms successfully leverage surface modifications (e.g., folic acid, hydrogels) to overcome pharmacokinetic bottlenecks, though their primary therapeutic axes reflect the distinct bioactive profiles of the parental plant tissue.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   **Boiling-induced reconfiguration:** Boiling ginger vesicles creates T-GEVs with enhanced clathrin-dependent uptake, increasing efficacy by 8.57-fold.\n*   **Lipid-driven inhibition:** In ginger, lipids are the primary bioactive agents responsible for suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome assembly.\n*   **Geographical and varietal influence:** Lipidomic profiling shows that ginger geographical variation significantly impacts B-cell internalization via chiral protein recognition.\n*   **Cross-kingdom miRNA:** Ginger vesicles utilize miRNAs (e.g., osa-miR164d) to target TAB1 in host cells, suppressing NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation.\n*   **Osteogenic capacity:** Ginseng vesicles exhibit unique regenerative potential, enhancing rBMSC differentiation via the PI3K/AKT pathway.\n*   **Sandwich-targeting:** Engineered ginger vesicles can establish Tf-mediated sandwich-like targeting interfaces to penetrate tumor-associated intestinal epithelium.\n*   **Storage requirements:** For ginger vesicles, -80\u00b0C is the optimal storage temperature to maintain long-term functional stability.\n*   **Intestinal retention:** Ginseng vesicles provide prolonged retention (up to 48 hours) in the intestinal tract.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

While ginger vesicles are predominantly characterized for their gut-homing, anti-inflammatory, and colonic-targeted drug delivery capabilities (e.g., in colitis and glioblastoma), ginseng-derived nanovesicles emphasize immunomodulatory, neuroprotective, and metabolic regulatory pathways, frequently leveraging their rich bioactive ginsenoside cargo.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe convergence of medicinal plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) represents a paradigm shift in precision phytomedicine. Ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GELNs) consistently demonstrate remarkable intestinal stability and targeted delivery efficiency. Their therapeutic application is heavily linked to their lipid composition and the presence of 6-gingerol and shogaols. Conversely, ginseng-derived vesicles (e.g., Gn-Exos, PGEs) leverage an extensive repertoire of ginsenosides to modulate complex systemic pathways such as AMPK signaling and ferroptosis. Both platforms exhibit commonalities in their natural origin, spherical morphology, and capacity to cross biological barriers, including the blood-brain barrier. The distinction lies in their specific clinical application: ginger vesicles are often favored for gastrointestinal and glioblastoma models, whereas ginseng vesicles are frequently targeted toward systemic metabolic, neuroprotective, and immune-polarization disorders.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   GELNs consistently exhibit pH-sensitivity and robust mucoadhesive properties within the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating therapeutic retention.\n*   Ginseng-derived nanovesicles demonstrate significant cross-kingdom regulatory roles, often by delivering bioactive plant microRNAs that modulate host gene expression.\n*   The extraction protocols for both vesicle types increasingly transition toward cost-effective methods, such as PEG-based precipitation, replacing traditional ultracentrifugation.\n*   GELNs can act as natural nanovehicles to mitigate thermal hazards in food processing, while ginseng vesicles are explored for systemic anti-senescent and anti-aging properties.\n*   Biomimetic modification (e.g., FA-conjugation or cRGD peptide functionalization) is a shared strategy to enhance the site-specific accumulation of both ginger and ginseng-derived vesicles.\n*   Ginger vesicles possess inherent cytotoxic activity against tumor cells (e.g., glioblastoma), whereas ginseng vesicles are frequently utilized as potent adjuvants in chemotherapy sensitization.\n*   The \"microbiota gatekeeping\" effect remains a central pharmacokinetic constraint for ginseng, which vesicle encapsulation attempts to bypass.\n*   Both platforms show excellent short-term safety profiles, with no significant immunogenicity reported in preclinical models.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

However, delivering siRNA with site-targeted stability and therapeutic efficacy is still challenging due to the complex and dynamic intestinal microenvironment. Here, based on the functional plant-derived ginger extracellular vesicles (EVs) and porous ZIF-8 nanoparticles, we propose a novel TNF-\u03b1 siRNA delivery strategy (EVs@ZIF-8@siRNA) for UC targeted therapy. Ginger EVs show strong colon and macrophage targeting, as well as robust resistance to acidic degradation in the stomach. Moreover, 6-shogaol in ginger-derived EVs displays anti-inflammatory effects, which enhance the treatment efficiency by cooperation with TNF-\u03b1 siRNA. In vitro experiments reveal that ZIF-8 nanoparticles have high TNF-\u03b1 siRNA loading capacity and promote siRNA escape from cellular lysosomes. In vivo experiments show that the TNF-\u03b1 level is reduced more significantly in colonic tissue than other nontargeted inflammation related factors, showing a good targeting of this composite nanoparticle. Furthermore, gut microbiota sequencing results demonstrate that the nanoparticles can promote intestinal barrier repair by regulating the intestinal microbial balance and restoring the intestinal health of UC mice. Therefore, the developed EVs@ZIF-8@siRNA nanoparticles may represent a novel colon-targeted oral drug, providing a promising therapeutic strategy for UC therapy."

Ginseng exosomes (G-Exo), which are active ingredients in ginseng, exhibit excellent biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. Here, G-Exo were isolated from ginseng roots through a combination of ultracentrifugation and sucrose gradient centrifugation techniques. Subsequently, the potential protective effect of G-Exo on CDDP induced cardiotoxicity, and its underlying mechanisms were explored. The findings demonstrated that G-Exo effectively mitigated CDDP-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in vitro. Moreover, in vivo experiments revealed that G-Exo significantly inhibited the increases in serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT), creatine kinase (CK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in mice induced by CDDP. Histological assessment and tissue staining further corroborated that G-Exo alleviated the cardiac tissue damage and apoptosis caused by CDDP. Mechanistically, G-Exo were found to alleviate CDDP-induced apoptosis through blocking the MAPK signaling. Collectively, these results suggest that G-Exo hold the potential to mitigate cisplatin-induced cardiac injury by regulating the MAPK pathway, thereby highlighting the therapeutic potential of G-Exo as a protective agent against CDDP-induced cardiotoxicity."

Chronic neuroinflammation drives progressive retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss independent of intraocular pressure, yet safe, sustained and precise neuroprotective modulation of the retinal inflammatory microenvironment remains a significant challenge. We developed an injectable fibrin gel delivery system loaded with ginseng-derived exosomes (GE-fibrin gel, GE-gel) to modulate microglial polarization, reduce retinal inflammation and promote RGC survival. In vitro, GE showed strong antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects by getting rid of reactive oxygen species caused by oxidative stress and lowering apoptosis in R28 cells. Both GE and GE-gel stopped lipopolysaccharide from causing pro-inflammatory M1 polarization of microglia and increased anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypic change. Intravitreal injection of GE-gel suppressed pro-inflammatory microglial activation, diminished neuroinflammation and improved the survival of RGCs in a chronic ocular hypertension rat model. These results show that GE-gel could promote microglial polarization, change the immune environment in the retina and protect RGCs functionally over the long term. This approach may hopefully provide promising solutions for rapid and effective glaucoma therapy."

While surface engineering can enhance tissue accumulation, strategies that preserve biocompatibility and enable scalable production remain limited. Here, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs). The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein. This specific composition drives their tissue-specific accumulation in the intestine and liver and potentiates clathrin-dependent cellular uptake in intestinal cells by 8.57-fold. Beyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform. When loaded with tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) small interfering RNA, they enable a synergistic therapy that combines innate anti-inflammatory activity with targeted gene silencing of TNF-\u03b1, showing potent efficacy in colitis. Our findings position boiling as a natural strategy for enhancing the bioactivity and targeted oral delivery potential of GEVs."

Herein, we conducted a comprehensive compositional analysis of four commonly used PEVs to fully understand their functional lipid contents and assess their potential therapeutic applications.

Subsequent in vitro and in vivo investigations substantiated the remarkable tumor cell inhibitory and tumor growth suppression efficacy of GEVs. The transcriptomic analysis indicated that GEVs regulate the cell cycle and p53 signaling pathways, thereby inducing cancer cell apoptosis.

Here, we revealed that plant-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (PEVs) offer a promising strategy to overcome this barrier. Using an optimized high-yield extraction protocol, we isolated PEVs from four medicinal plants: Panax ginseng, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, and Ligusticum chuanxiong.

In this study, GDEVs were used to treat the alopecia mouse model, and its main active components and potential mechanism of action were investigated. The LC-MS/MS analysis of GDEVs revealed the presence of 1299 chemical compounds, among which auxiliary components were identified. Interestingly, the crux of the analysis lies in the discovery of 13 specific ingredients that play a pivotal role in hair proliferation. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of GDEVs on hair loss. These advantages make ginger-derived nanoparticles a promising solution to overcome technical limitations associated with mammalian nanoparticles. This study elucidates the mechanism of action of GDEVs in the treatment of alopecia. However, the active ingredients and mechanism of action of GDEVs in the treatment of hair loss are unknown. GDEVs were isolated from ginger using the differential centrifugal method. Network pharmacological analysis of the GDEVs revealed that the anti-hair loss effect of GDEVs on alopecia was closely linked to its ability to reduce inflammation and promote the proliferation of hair follicle stem cells. Subsequently, it was applied to the balding areas of hair-loss mice using a brush. The results demonstrated that the application of GDEVs led to a rapid recovery of the balding areas and promoted the growth of healthier hair. This experiment reported that GDEVs can effectively suppress the inflammatory activity in the alopecia model mice."

However, it remains challenge to elicit immune activation due to the weak immunogenicity of autologous tumor antigens. Here, a hybrid membrane cancer vaccine is successfully constructed by membrane fusion to enhance adaptive immune response and amplify personalized immunotherapy, which formed a codelivery system for autologous tumor antigens and immune adjuvants. Briefly, the functional hybrid vesicles (HM-NPs) are formed by hybridizing ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles-like particles (G-EVLPs) with the membrane originated from the resected autologous tumors. The introduction of G-EVLPs can enhance the phagocytosis of autologous tumor antigens by dendritic cells (DCs) and facilitate DCs maturation through TLR4, ultimately activating tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). HM-NPs can indeed strengthen specific immune responses to suppress tumors recurrence and metastasis including subcutaneous tumors and orthotopic tumors. Furthermore, a long-term immune protection can be obtained after vaccinating with HM-NPs, and prolonging the survival of animals. Overall, this personalized hybrid autologous tumor vaccine based on G-EVLPs provides the possibility of mitigating tumor recurrence and metastasis after surgery while maintaining good biocompatibility."

Despite the availability of conventional treatments, they are often marred by significant side effects and the associated high costs. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) offer a compelling alternative, owing to their abundant availability, affordability, low immunogenicity, high biocompatibility, and feasibility for large-scale production. These vesicles enhance intercellular communication by transferring intrinsic bioactive molecules. In our research, we delve into the capacity of PEVs to treat RA, highlighting the role of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEVs). By conjugating GDEVs with folic acid (FA), we have developed FA-GDEVs that maintain their inherent immunomodulatory properties. FA-GDEVs are designed to selectively target M1 macrophages in inflamed joints via the folate receptors (FRs). Our in vitro findings indicate that FA-GDEVs promote the polarization towards a reparative M2 macrophage phenotype by modulating the PI3K-AKT pathway. Further corroboration comes from in vivo studies, which demonstrate that FA-GDEVs not only concentrate efficiently in the affected joints but also markedly reduce the manifestations of RA. Synthesizing these findings, it is evident that FA-GDEVs emerge as a hopeful candidate for RA treatment, offering benefits such as safety, affordability, and therapeutic efficacy."

This study evaluated the therapeutic potential of GDEVs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation and joint destruction. We conducted both in vitro and in vivo experiments using synovial fibroblasts derived from RA patients and a collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) mouse model. In vitro, GDEVs significantly suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) and interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2 and downstream mediators IL-6, Cox-2, and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) and inhibited the proliferation and migration of RA synovial fibroblasts. In vivo, oral administration of GDEVs to CAIA mice reduced arthritis severity, attenuated synovitis, preserved cartilage integrity, and suppressed osteoclast activation. GDEVs were stable against gastric digestion and were efficiently taken up by intestinal cells, supporting their oral availability. Microarray and RNA sequencing identified miR-149 as a key regulatory molecule in GDEVs, associated with the suppression of inflammation-related signaling pathways, including Ras signaling and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. These findings highlight the potential of GDEVs as an anti-inflammatory therapy for RA. Given their stability and bioavailability, the oral administration of GDEVs could be a promising non-invasive treatment for future clinical applications."

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) display a continuum of different polarization states between tumoricidal M1 phenotype and tumor-supportive M2 phenotypes, with a lower M1/M2 ratio correlating with tumor growth, angiogenesis and invasion. We investigated whether EVs from ginseng can alter M2-like polarization both in vitro and in vivo to promote cancer immunotherapy. A novel EVs-liked ginseng-derived nanoparticles (GDNPs) were isolated and characterized from Panax ginseng C. A. Mey. Using GDNPs as an immunopotentiator for altering M2 polarized macrophages, we analyzed associated surface markers, genes and cytokines of macrophages treated with GDNPs. Mice bearing B16F10 melanoma were treated with GDNPs therapy. Tumor growth were assessed, and TAM populations were evaluated by FACS and IF. GDNPs significantly promoted the polarization of M2 to M1 phenotype and produce total reactive oxygen species, resulting in increasing apoptosis of mouse melanoma cells. GDNP-induced M1 polarization was found to depend upon Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 and myeloid differentiation antigen 88 (MyD88)-mediated signaling. Moreover, ceramide lipids and proteins of GDNPs may play an important role in macrophage polarization via TLR4 activation. We found that GDNPs treatment significantly suppressed melanoma growth in tumor-bearing mice with increased presence of M1 macrophages detected in the tumor tissue. GDNPs can alter M2 polarization both in vitro and in vivo, which contributes to an antitumor response. The polarization of macrophages induced by GDNPs is largely dependent on TLR4 and MyD88 signalling. GDNPs as an immunomodulator participate in mammalian immune response and may represent a new class of nano-drugs in cancer immunotherapy."

This study conducted a network meta-analysis to identify the most effective plant-derived sEVs for reducing sepsis-induced inflammation and oxidative stress.

As an innovative form of herbal medicine, plant-derived exosomes (PDEs) exhibit their therapeutic potential from a unique phospholipid bilayer structure, which encapsulates bioactive molecules including proteins, lipids, RNAs, and metabolites. This study aims to elucidate the components, bioavailability, drug delivery, and stability of PDEs by reviewing the keywords including exosome, nanoparticle, and vesicle regarding plants and herbs in the databases (e.g., PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar), specially focusing on the high-frequency medicinal species (e.g., Ginseng, Ginger, Pueraria root, Turmeric, and Wolfberry). Unlike conventional extracts of herbal medicine, which lose critical compounds during drying or alcohol-based processing, PDEs derived from fresh plant tissues preserve native phytochemical integrity and enhance bioactivity. Advanced extraction techniques and cargo-loading strategies further amplify their therapeutic potential, enabling precise modulation of pathways such as macrophage polarization and immune checkpoint. Despite these advantages, hurdles in standardizing isolation protocols, ensuring storage stability, and validating clinical efficacy remain key obstacles to widespread adoption. The natural surface proteins of PDEs, which facilitate receptor-specific targeting without synthetic modification, exemplify their ability to bridge the synergy of herbal medicine with precision medicine. These advances position PDEs as transformative agents of herbal medicine in chronic disease management, offering a paradigm shift toward stable, targeted, and efficacious phytotherapy."

Nevertheless, its poor colon-targeting efficiency, insufficient capacity to penetrate the intestinal mucus layer, and low cellular internalization significantly compromise therapeutic outcomes in UC treatment. To address these critical limitations, herein we rationally designed a exosome-hydrogel hybrid system (Cel-GDNPs@Gel) by first encapsulating Cel into ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDNPs), which were subsequently dispersed within a glycyrrhizic acid (GA) hydrogel matrix. Experimental studies confirmed that GDNPs were successfully isolated and characterized with uniform size distribution and round- or cup-shaped morphology, and Cel was successful encapsulated into GDNPs. The GA hydrogel endowed the system with excellent pH-sensitivity and robust mucoadhesive properties, thereby facilitating enhanced accumulation and prolonged retention at the colon site. Moreover, GDNPs promoted efficient mucus penetration and cellular uptake of Cel. Notably, both GDNPs and GA could exert synergistic therapeutic effects with Cel. Accordingly, in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that Cel-GDNPs@Gel significantly alleviated colitis symptoms, suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, attenuated oxidative stress, regulated macrophage polarization, promoted intestinal mucosal barrier repair, and restored intestinal homeostasis.

PDVs from plants like citrus, ginger, and ginseng exhibit inherent anticancer effects by inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis. However, PDV research remains nascent and faces major challenges: (1) Scalable production is inefficient, with current isolation methods yielding impurities and batch variations. (2) Unified markers and classification criteria are lacking, hindering data standardization.

While both are utilized for drug delivery, they exhibit distinct source-specific bioactive payloads (gingerols/shogaols in ginger vs. ginsenosides in ginseng) and tailored therapeutic applications.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nBoth ginger-derived extracellular vesicles and ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles represent a novel class of phytotherapeutic delivery systems characterized by their ability to facilitate cross-kingdom communication. Ginger EVs show strong colon and macrophage targeting, as well as robust resistance to acidic degradation in the stomach. Similarly, ginseng-derived exosomes exhibit excellent biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. Mechanistic studies highlight their shared ability to modulate immune microenvironments; notably, both GE and GE-gel stopped lipopolysaccharide from causing pro-inflammatory M1 polarization of microglia and increased anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypic change. Despite these similarities, their chemical composition reflects their parent plants, with ginger-derived vesicles containing cytotoxic gingerols and shogaols, and ginseng-derived vesicles containing active ginsenoside constituents such as Gn-Rh2. Unlike conventional extracts of herbal medicine, which lose critical compounds during drying or alcohol-based processing, PDEs derived from fresh plant tissues preserve native phytochemical integrity and enhance bioactivity. The application of these vesicles is expanding into oncology, where the transcriptomic analysis indicated that GEVs regulate the cell cycle and p53 signaling pathways, thereby inducing cancer cell apoptosis.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) represent a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to mammalian EVs, avoiding ethical concerns and production bottlenecks.\n*   Geographical variation in ginger sources alters the lipid composition of GELNs, creating a natural library of lipids that influence B-cell internalization via specific protein interactions.\n*   Boiling ginger extracellular vesicles (T-GEVs) structurally reconfigures them, enriching their surface architecture with vesicle trafficking regulators like ARF1 and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein to enhance intestinal targeting.\n*   Ginseng-derived exosomes facilitate cross-kingdom miRNA delivery, which can reprogram neuronal stress responses and preserve mitochondrial stabilization after ischemic injury.\n*   Biomimetic fusion of ginger exosomes with tumor cell membranes allows for a hybrid vaccine approach, enhancing dendritic cell maturation via TLR4 signaling.\n*   Ginger EVs act as an effective oral therapeutic agent for ulcerative colitis by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines through the inhibition of the NF-\u03baB pathway.\n*   Ginsenosides, which often face limited oral bioavailability, are effectively shielded or delivered by ginseng-derived nanovesicles, enhancing their therapeutic concentration.\n*   The use of 3D bioreactor systems has enabled the massive, scalable production of plant-derived and ginseng-loaded vesicles, overcoming previous extraction limitations.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Nevertheless, its poor colon-targeting efficiency, insufficient capacity to penetrate the intestinal mucus layer, and low cellular internalization significantly compromise therapeutic outcomes in UC treatment. To address these critical limitations, herein we rationally designed a exosome-hydrogel hybrid system (Cel-GDNPs@Gel) by first encapsulating Cel into ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDNPs), which were subsequently dispersed within a glycyrrhizic acid (GA) hydrogel matrix. Experimental studies confirmed that GDNPs were successfully isolated and characterized with uniform size distribution and round- or cup-shaped morphology, and Cel was successful encapsulated into GDNPs. The GA hydrogel endowed the system with excellent pH-sensitivity and robust mucoadhesive properties, thereby facilitating enhanced accumulation and prolonged retention at the colon site. Moreover, GDNPs promoted efficient mucus penetration and cellular uptake of Cel. Notably, both GDNPs and GA could exert synergistic therapeutic effects with Cel. Accordingly, in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that Cel-GDNPs@Gel significantly alleviated colitis symptoms, suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, attenuated oxidative stress, regulated macrophage polarization, promoted intestinal mucosal barrier repair, and restored intestinal homeostasis. Furthermore, this delivery system exhibited favorable biosafety with no obvious systemic toxicity. Collectively, this multifunctional Cel-GDNPs@Gel platform offers a safe and effective strategy for the oral treatment of UC.\n\nID: 42548959\nTitle: Thermally Induced Reassembly of Ginger Extracellular Vesicles for Oral Therapy of Intestinal Inflammation.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles are promising candidates for oral drug delivery, yet their clinical translation is hindered by limited targeting precision and inconsistent systemic absorption. While surface engineering can enhance tissue accumulation, strategies that preserve biocompatibility and enable scalable production remain limited. Here, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs). The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein. This specific composition drives their tissue-specific accumulation in the intestine and liver and potentiates clathrin-dependent cellular uptake in intestinal cells by 8.57-fold. Beyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform. When loaded with tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) small interfering RNA, they enable a synergistic therapy that combines innate anti-inflammatory activity with targeted gene silencing of TNF-\u03b1, showing potent efficacy in colitis. Our findings position boiling as a natural strategy for enhancing the bioactivity and targeted oral delivery potential of GEVs.\n\nID: 42544642\nTitle: Microneedling-assisted Panax ginseng exosome protocol for vulvovaginal symptoms and vulvar skin tone changes: A preliminary pilot observational study.\nAbstract: BackgroundNonhormonal approaches for vulvovaginal symptoms and vulvar skin concerns are increasingly being explored. However, clinical evidence for combined microneedling-assisted topical protocols in this setting remains limited.ObjectivesThis preliminary pilot observational study explored the short-term feasibility, patient-reported outcomes, tolerability, and qualitative photographic findings associated with a combined microneedling-assisted Panax ginseng exosome protocol with adjunctive inner gel use.DesignSingle-arm preliminary pilot observational study.MethodsFourteen women (mean age, 48.6 years; range, 24-63 years) underwent three treatment sessions at 2-week intervals, followed by a final assessment 2 weeks after the third treatment session, resulting in a total study duration of 6 weeks from baseline to final follow-up for each participant. Microneedling was performed on the vulvar area using a 2-mm dermaroller, followed by topical application of a Panax ginseng exosome formulation. Participants also used an adjunctive inner gel between visits. Outcomes included the Vulvovaginal Symptom Questionnaire (VSQ), the Day-to-Day Impact of Vaginal Aging (DIVA) questionnaire, procedural pain assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS), safety observations, and qualitative clinical photographic assessment.ResultsTotal VSQ score decreased after treatment (mean change, -2.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], -4.76 to -0.95; p = 0.00648). Total DIVA score also decreased (mean change, -5.43; 95% CI, -9.55 to -1.30; p = 0.0138), with significant improvement in the daily activities domain (median change, -2.0; p = 0.00849). The emotion and sexual life domains showed directional decreases but did not reach statistical significance. Procedure-related pain was transient and generally decreased within 30 minutes after treatment. Clinical photographs showed qualitative observational changes in pigmentation intensity and skin tone uniformity. No serious adverse events were observed during the short follow-up period.ConclusionThis small uncontrolled pilot study found that the combined microneedling-assisted Panax ginseng exosome protocol with adjunctive inner gel use was associated with short-term improvements in patient-reported vulvovaginal symptoms and qualitative vulvar skin tone observations. Because of the single-arm design, small sample size, combined intervention, subjective photographic assessment, and short follow-up, these findings should be interpreted as preliminary and hypothesis-generating. Many women experience vulvovaginal symptoms such as dryness, itching, irritation, discomfort, or pain during sexual activity. Some women also have concerns about changes in vulvar skin tone. This small pilot study looked at a combined nonhormonal treatment using microneedling, a topical Panax ginseng exosome product, and home use of an inner gel. Fourteen women took part. Each participant received three treatment sessions, 2 weeks apart, and had a final assessment 2 weeks after the third session. The total study duration was 6 weeks. After treatment, participants reported lower vulvovaginal symptom scores and lower daily impact scores. The daily activities score improved, while emotional well-being and sexual life scores showed decreasing trends but did not significantly improve. Treatment-related pain was temporary and generally decreased within 30 minutes. No serious adverse events were observed during the short follow-up period. Clinical photographs showed visual changes in skin tone in some cases, but these photographs were not measured using objective color tests or blinded grading. Because this study included only 14 participants, had no control group, used a combined treatment, and had short follow-up, the findings should be considered preliminary. Larger controlled studies are needed to confirm safety, durability, and clinical usefulness.\n\nID: 42534522\nTitle: Ginseng-derived exosomes loaded in fibrin gel promote retinal ganglion cell survival in glaucoma by exerting anti-inflammatory effects through modulating microglial polarization.\nAbstract: Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally. Chronic neuroinflammation drives progressive retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss independent of intraocular pressure, yet safe, sustained and precise neuroprotective modulation of the retinal inflammatory microenvironment remains a significant challenge. We developed an injectable fibrin gel delivery system loaded with ginseng-derived exosomes (GE-fibrin gel, GE-gel) to modulate microglial polarization, reduce retinal inflammation and promote RGC survival. In vitro, GE showed strong antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects by getting rid of reactive oxygen species caused by oxidative stress and lowering apoptosis in R28 cells. Both GE and GE-gel stopped lipopolysaccharide from causing pro-inflammatory M1 polarization of microglia and increased anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypic change. Intravitreal injection of GE-gel suppressed pro-inflammatory microglial activation, diminished neuroinflammation and improved the survival of RGCs in a chronic ocular hypertension rat model. These results show that GE-gel could promote microglial polarization, change the immune environment in the retina and protect RGCs functionally over the long term. This approach may hopefully provide promising solutions for rapid and effective glaucoma therapy.\n\nID: 42501555\nTitle: Gut microbiota and polycystic ovary syndrome: Pathogenesis and novel therapeutic approaches.\nAbstract: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder in women that is characterized by a complex pathogenesis involving multiple mechanisms, including hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, insulin resistance (IR), and chronic inflammation. Recent studies have demonstrated that the gut microbiota acts as an important metabolic regulator and may play a pivotal role in the onset and progression of PCOS. Patients with PCOS frequently exhibit gut microbiota dysbiosis, which is characterized by reduced microbial diversity, decreased levels of beneficial bacteria, increased levels of pathogenic bacteria, and altered metabolic byproducts. This imbalance may contribute to IR and ovarian dysfunction by activating the toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor kappa B inflammatory pathway, inducing oxidative stress, and disrupting Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signaling. The Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signaling pathway, a key regulator of follicular development, is frequently aberrantly activated in PCOS. In this narrative review, we summarize the recent advances in understanding the roles of the gut microbiota and the Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of PCOS. To this end, we conducted a comprehensive literature search across PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases, covering publications from January 2012 to March 2026. Ninety-eight articles were included after screening. We further explored therapeutic strategies based on microbiome modulation and signaling pathway targeting, including probiotics, traditional Chinese medicine, ginsenosides, puerarin, fecal microbiota transplantation, and nanoparticle-based ginseng-derived exosomes, thereby providing novel insights into potential therapies for PCOS.\n\nID: 42486784\nTitle: In Situ Transferrin-Mediated Sandwich-like Targeting with Engineered Ginger-Derived Extracellular Vesicles for Precision Oral Chemotherapy of Colorectal Cancer.\nAbstract: Oral chemotherapy for colorectal cancer (CRC) is limited by poor tumor selectivity and microenvironment-driven resistance. Addressing these limitations demands materials that integrate tumor-selective targeting with immune microenvironment modulation. Here, clinical analysis of CRC specimens revealed pronounced transferrin (Tf) enrichment in CRC-associated intestinal regions. Guided by this finding, we engineered a gastrointestinal-stable cyclic Tf-binding peptide (cp) with high Tf affinity and constructed cp-modified ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (cp-GEVs) for in situ Tf-mediated sandwich-like targeting. By recruiting endogenous Tf, cp-GEVs established a Tf-mediated bridging interface that selectively engages Tf receptor-overexpressing intestinal epithelium and tumor cells, enabling efficient epithelial transcytosis, tumor-selective accumulation, and deep intratumoral penetration after oral administration. When loaded with irinotecan (CPT-11), CPT@cp-GEVs significantly enhanced intracellular drug delivery and reprogrammed immunosuppressive M2-like tumor-associated macrophages toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype, thereby disrupting cancer stem cell-enriched drug-resistant niches. In AOM/DSS-induced primary CRC models and patient-derived ex vivo systems, CPT@cp-GEVs significantly improved chemotherapeutic efficacy while attenuating resistance. Collectively, this work establishes a Tf-mediated sandwich-like targeting framework for oral cancer therapy, offering a conceptually distinct materials design paradigm that integrates endogenous ligand recruitment with immune microenvironment reprogramming.\n\nID: 42485233\nTitle: Zn2GeO4:Mn Luminescent Superparticles/Au-Ag Bimetallic Nanoarrays for ECL Detection of miRNA-156a in Ginseng Exosomes.\nAbstract: MicroRNA (miRNA) in plant exosomes exhibits cross-species regulatory properties, opening a new avenue for researching natural pharmacodynamic molecules. In this study, a novel biosensing system has been developed based on Zn2GeO4:Mn luminescent superparticles/Au-Ag bimetallic nanoarrays for the detection of miRNA-156a in ginseng. First, polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene (PEO-PPO-PEO) triblock copolymer (P123) is used as a structure-directing agent to induce the directional self-assembly of Zn2GeO4:Mn nanorods as luminescent superparticles (SPs). Moreover, the hydrophilic end of P123 adsorbs more coreactants to accelerate reaction kinetics and significantly boosts the intensity and stability of electrochemiluminescence (ECL). Meanwhile, a Au-Ag bimetallic nanoarray is fabricated as an electrode modification interface. This Au-Ag bimetallic nanoarray enlarges the electrochemical surface area and elevates electron-transfer rates, leading to remarkable ECL signal enhancement. Furthermore, the high catalytic activity of Ag lowers the energy barrier for the electrochemical reaction in the system, thereby enabling the ECL reaction to proceed at a lower negative potential. Finally, a sandwich-type ECL biosensor is constructed for the detection of miRNA-156a in ginseng exosomes. The sensor has a linear range of 1 fM to 1 nM and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 1.3 fM, which offers technical support for the pharmacodynamic evaluation and medicinal part selection of ginseng.\n\nID: 42407283\nTitle: Carboxymethyl chitosan-based multifunctional hydrogel loaded with ginseng stem cell exosomes promotes severe burn wound healing through anti-inflammatory activity.\nAbstract: Severe burns cause excessive inflammation and immune dysregulation that delay healing and increase infection risk. Here, we developed an injectable self-healing hydrogel (CMCS/OHA/Exo, \"Exo-gel\") incorporating ginseng callus stem-cell-derived exosomes to promote burn repair. The hydrogel rapidly formed via Schiff-base crosslinking, exhibited excellent injectability, mechanical resilience, and sustained exosome release. Exosomes (\u223c140\u202fnm) were rich in bioactive lipids and miRNAs related to angiogenesis and immune regulation. In vitro, Exo-gel enhanced cell viability, reduced LPS-induced reactive-oxygen species (ROS), and significantly downregulated IL-1\u03b2, iNOS, IL-6, and TNF-\u03b1 expression. In vivo, Exo-gel accelerated wound closure, promoted re-epithelialization, angiogenesis, and collagen remodeling, yielding superior tissue repair. This renewable, antibiotic-sparing biomaterial offers a promising therapeutic platform for severe burn treatment.\n\nID: 42403930\nTitle: Investigating the Effect of Ginger-Derived Nanovesicles on the Growth and Metabolic Activity of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron: An Isothermal Microcalorimetric Study.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have shown numerous health benefits, including modulation of the human gut microbiota. Herein, we employed isothermal microcalorimetry (IMC) to explore the effects of ginger-derived nanovesicles (G-NVs) on the growth and metabolic activity of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt), a dominant saccharolytic commensal with promising next-generation probiotic potential. Bt was exposed to either G-NVs or the ginger extract separated from G-NVs (G-CTL) in defined media under anaerobic conditions. Both ginger samples enhanced bacterial specific growth rate and maximum metabolic activity, inducing the latter earlier. However, higher biomass production and greater secretion of acetic, succinic and propionic acids occurred only in response to the G-CTL. Complete sugar depletion and unchanged free amino acid levels indicated preferential carbohydrate utilisation by Bt. Overall, these findings revealed that Bt's metabolic state is shaped by both G-NVs and G-CTL, yet through distinct mechanisms, with G-NVs inducing rapid stimulation without increasing total metabolic output and G-CTL providing a sustained, dose-dependent effect. To our knowledge, this is the first study applying IMC to monitor in real-time the impact of EVs on microbial growth and metabolism, underscoring IMC's utility for mechanistic studies of EV-microbe interactions. Furthermore, this research sets the ground for innovative strategies in nutraceutical and microbiome-targeted therapy development.\n\nID: 42395025\nTitle: Ginsenosides from Panax ginseng: Their mechanisms, microbiome determinants, and translational strategies in therapeutic activity against cancer.\nAbstract: Ginsenosides from Panax ginseng Meyer and their microbiota-derived metabolites have been explored as adjuncts in oncology, with pleiotropic activities across tumor-intrinsic and microenvironmental pathways. This review focuses on representative metabolites (Rg3, Rh2 and compound K) and summarizes mechanistic evidence for apoptosis and cell-cycle control, metabolic reprogramming (Warburg-type glycolysis), and epigenetic regulation (miRNA/lncRNA-linked programs), together with immunomodulatory effects in the tumor microenvironment. A central translational constraint is pharmacokinetics and the \"microbiota gatekeeping\" effect: many parent ginsenosides show limited oral absorption and require microbiota-mediated deglycosylation, resulting in delayed and variable systemic exposure across individuals. To address this bottleneck, we discuss pragmatic translational directions including bioconversion/pre-transformation to enrich active metabolites, biomimetic delivery platforms such as ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles to improve exposure and tissue uptake, and mechanism-guided combinations (e.g., with immune checkpoint blockade). Finally, we outline how biomarker-informed stratification and AI/ML-enabled, hypothesis-generating optimization of delivery/formulation may support more predictable clinical development.\n\nID: 42326966\nTitle: Spice exosome-like nanovesicles for multi-target mitigation of thermal processing hazards: superior efficacy of isothiocyanate-enriched Armoracia rusticana ELNs in air-fried beef patties.\nAbstract: Thermal processing of meat inevitably generates hazardous heterocyclic amines (HAs) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), posing health risks to consumers. Here, we isolated and characterized spice exosome-like nanoparticles (ELNs) from ginger, garlic, Armoracia rusticana, basil, onion, and scallion. Then evaluated their efficacy in inhibiting bound HAs and AGEs in air-fried beef patties. Among all treatments, Armoracia rusticana ELNs (ARELNs) exhibited the most potent and broad-spectrum inhibitory activity, reducing total HAs by 53.4% and total AGEs by 50.6% at 1.0% addition, significantly outperforming other spice ELNs. ARELNs also demonstrated superior free radical scavenging capacity and suppressed lipid/protein oxidation more effectively than other spice ELNs. Crucially, ARELNs preserved desirable sensory attributes with minimal adverse impact. Metabolomic profiling revealed that ARELNs are uniquely enriched in isothiocyanate precursors (sinigrin, gluconasturtiin, 3-methylsulfinylpropyl isothiocyanate), which may act as dual scavengers of reactive carbonyls and free radicals. These findings suggest spice ELNs, particularly those from horseradish, as a novel, nature-derived nanovehicle strategy to simultaneously mitigate multiple thermal processing hazards while maintaining product quality, offering a promising clean-label solution for the meat industry.\n\nID: 42321780\nTitle: Biomimetic fusion nanosystem from ginger exosomes and tumor cell membranes: boosting PLK1-targeted therapy in BRCA-heterogeneous HGSOC.\nAbstract: High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) remains a lethal malignancy with few effective therapeutic options. In this study, we systematically evaluated the anti-tumor effect of Bi2536, an inhibitor of Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), in HGSOC, and clarified its mechanism. Bi2536 inactivates PLK1, leading to the subsequent inactivation of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1). This disruption triggers a cascade of antitumor effects, including G2/M phase arrest, induction of mitochondrial apoptosis, and suppression of cell migration and invasion. Furthermore, we identified circadian oscillations in PLK1 expression both in HGSOC cells and in vivo xenograft models. To enhance therapeutic precision and minimize systemic toxicity, we engineered a biomimetic nano-delivery system for Bi2536. This integrated platform combines chemotherapy and chemodynamic therapy (CDT), significantly improving antitumor outcomes. Importantly, synchronizing Bi2536 administration with the circadian peaks of PLK1 expression further augmented its therapeutic efficacy. In summary, our work establishes that the combination of Bi2536 with a biomimetic nano-delivery system, together with its chronotherapeutic administration, constitutes a highly promising and multifaceted strategy for the treatment of HGSOC.\n\nID: 42293730\nTitle: A safe and anti-inflammatory plant-derived nanovesicle platform for targeted delivery in acute lung injury.\nAbstract: Acute lung injury (ALI) and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), are life-threatening pulmonary disorders with extremely high mortality rates, for which effective and safe therapeutic strategies remain limited. The development of targeted and biocompatible drug delivery systems is urgently needed to control pulmonary inflammatory cascades while minimizing systemic toxicity. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles offer a naturally safe and anti-inflammatory platform for therapeutic delivery. Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1), a major bioactive compound from ginseng, possesses potent anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties, whereas lemon-derived EVs (LEVs) exhibit intrinsic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we engineered a multifunctional, biocompatible drug delivery platform, GRb1@LEVs-cRGD, in which ginsenoside Rb1 is incorporated into and fused with LEVs to form hybrid bio-nanovesicles, while the vesicle surface is functionalized with cyclic RGD (cRGD) peptides to target integrin \u03b1v\u03b23 highly expressed in inflamed pulmonary tissues, thereby enhancing site-specific delivery. In vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD effectively inhibited M1 macrophage polarization, suppressed inflammatory cascades, and preserved epithelial-endothelial integrity. Furthermore, exogenous cholesterol loading improved vesicle stability, maintained the pH gradient, and enhanced the loading efficiency of tigecycline and vancomycin by six-fold. In murine models of bacterial pneumonia induced by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, antibiotic-loaded GRb1@LEVs-cRGD efficiently accumulated at infection sites and exhibited synergistic anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. Overall, this study demonstrates that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD is a safe, targeted, and multifunctional therapeutic platform with significant potential for ALI/ARDS treatment.\n\nID: 42260763\nTitle: Green nanomedicine for cancer therapy.\nAbstract: Nanoparticles derived from various sources have been widely investigated as biological therapeutic agents and drug carriers for cancer treatment. Among them, plant-derived vesicle-like nanoparticles (PDVLNs) have attracted considerable interest because of their wide availability, high yield, and ease of preparation. PDVLNs are primarily produced via active secretory mechanisms in plant cells in response to specific physiological and environmental stimuli. They can cross biological barriers while retaining the bioactive components of their parent plants, thereby exhibiting the dual capabilities of drug delivery and biological regulation. Currently, in the field of cancer treatment, PDVLNs sourced from ginger, grapes, green tea, and Brucea javanica have been successfully applied in monotherapy, combination therapy, and targeted drug delivery. This review systematically summarizes recent advances and the underlying molecular mechanisms of PDVLNs in cancer treatment, with an emphasis on engineering strategies designed to improve their performance as drug delivery systems, including drug loading techniques, surface modification approaches, and membrane fusion methods. Furthermore, the potential applications of PDVLNs in precision medicine and clinical translation are explored. By synthesizing current research progress and outlining future directions, this review provides a systematic theoretical foundation and practical insights to support the development of safe, effective, and clinically feasible antitumor nanotherapeutic platforms.\n\nID: 42211882\nTitle: M1 macrophage-targeted engineered ginseng stems and leaves-derived extracellular vesicles delivery system for alleviating rheumatoid arthritis.\nAbstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent synovial inflammation, oxidative stress damage and joint destruction. Current treatments often face challenges including limited targeting efficacy and systemic side effects. To develop a novel targeted therapy for RA, this study constructed a functionalized extracellular vesicle (EV) system by engineering ginseng stems and leaves-derived EVs with hyaluronic acid (HA) modification and curcumin (Cur) loading (Cur@EVs-PH). Structurally, the EVs-PH drug-loaded nanoplatform integrates the remarkable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of EVs with the prolonged circulation capacity conferred by PEG. This design further capitalizes on the targeting ability of HA, thereby providing a robust structural foundation for the efficient delivery of therapeutics to disease sites. Our results demonstrated that the designed system achieved enhanced inflammatory targeting through CD44 receptor-mediated accumulation and exhibited potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In the collagen-induced arthritis model, Cur@EVs-PH significantly alleviated joint swelling, reduced pathological scores and normalized immune organ indices. Mechanistic studies revealed that the therapeutic effects were mediated through suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and promotion of macrophage M2 polarization. This integrated strategy combining natural EVs, targeted modification and active drug loading provides a promising platform for the treatment of RA and other inflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 42207394\nTitle: The ginger-derived nanovesicles-coated albumin nanoparticles induce cell death and epigenetic regulation to treat colorectal cancer.\nAbstract: Due to the limitations of conventional cancer chemotherapy, including low bioavailability, limited indicators of therapeutic improvement, and unclear side effects, numerous laboratories have been actively engaged in the development of drug delivery systems. Here, we designed and synthesized a plant-derived ginger exosome-coated albumin nanoparticle drug delivery system (GEBSS) loaded with Shikonin (SHK) and STM2457 (a METTL3 inhibitor) and probes into the mechanism of antitumor. We prepared and characterized GEBSS nanoparticles and evaluated their in vitro cellular uptake and targeting capabilities. The in vitro antitumor efficacy was assessed by measuring cell viability, clonogenic formation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and apoptosis markers; biosafety was confirmed via a hemolysis assay. Furthermore, the ability of GEBSS to induce ICD was validated through Western blotting, ATP detection, and immunofluorescence assays, while its role in epigenetic regulation was elucidated using Dot Blot, MeRIP-qPCR, and RNA stability experiments. Finally, the in vivo antitumor effect of GEBSS was verified by intravenous administration in a nude mouse subcutaneous tumor model. A subsequent characterization revealed that GEBSS exhibited a concentrated size distribution around 142\u00a0nm, were efficiently absorbed by colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, and demonstrated inhibitory effects on tumor cell proliferation. In vivo experiments demonstrated excellent tumor-targeting ability, anti-tumor efficacy, and biocompatibility of GEBSS. Mechanistically, GEBSS induced apoptosis and immunogenic cell death (ICD) in tumor cells. Moreover, at the epigenetic regulation level, GEBSS suppressed cell proliferation by reducing the m6A methylation levels of immune checkpoint genes PD-L1 and CD47. This study explored the feasibility of producing naturally derived nanocarriers and, for the first time, employed a combination of SHK and STM2457 for CRC treatment, offering novel strategies and insights for nanomedicine in CRC treatment.\n\nID: 42150513\nTitle: Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles enable enhanced transdermal delivery of finasteride for androgenetic alopecia treatment.\nAbstract: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a highly prevalent hair loss disorder, and finasteride (FIN) is one of the two drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating AGA. The clinical use of finasteride for AGA is limited by its poor solubility and systemic adverse effects. To address the limitations of finasteride, we developed a drug delivery system using ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs). These nanoparticles were loaded with finasteride and integrated into a thermosensitive gel (FIN@GELNs-Gel) to enhance transdermal absorption. In vitro results demonstrated that the formulation promoted cell migration and angiogenesis, indicating its potential to improve the hair follicle microenvironment. In vivo study on AGA mouse models showed a significant reduction in dihydrotestosterone levels in both the skin and serum. Furthermore, the treatment upregulated VEGF and Ki67 expression, accelerated the telogen-to-anagen transition effectively, all without inducing histopathological abnormalities in major organs. These results collectively demonstrate that FIN@GELNs-Gel significantly enhances the therapeutic efficacy and biosafety of finasteride, showing promising potential as an effective topical treatment for AGA.\n\nID: 42114788\nTitle: Ginsenoside Rh2 from ginseng exosomes enhances chemotherapy sensitivity in non-small cell lung cancer by modulating the USP22-RRM2 axis.\nAbstract: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a prevalent and malignant cancer globally, characterized by chemotherapy resistance. The aim of this study was focused on the potential of ginsenoside (Gn)-Rh2 from ginseng exosomes (Gn-Exos), a primary bioactive constituent of Panax ginseng, to enhance chemotherapy sensitivity in NSCLC. In this study, Gn-Exo was isolated and identified. The intake and internal organ distribution of PKH26-labelled Gn-Exos was detected using immunofluorescence and in vivo imaging. Transwell migration, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation, cell counting, and wound healing experiments were performed to assess NSCLC cell proliferation and migration. A mouse tumor xenograft model was constructed to assess the roles of Gn-Exos and the main active ingredient Gn-Rh2 in NSCLC progression and metastasis in vivo. Gn-Exos can inhibit the proliferation, migration, cancer growth, and pulmonary metastasis of NSCLC cells. Mass spectrometry analysis confirmed that the main component of Gn-Exos was Gn-Rh2. The results also showed that Gn-Rh2 inhibited the proliferation and migration of NSCLC cells in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. Comprehensive proteomic analysis identified ribonucleotide reductase regulatory subunit M2 (RRM2) and ubiquitin-specific protease 22 (USP22) as key targets significantly downregulated by Gn-Rh2. Experimental results demonstrated that Gn-Rh2 disrupts the interaction to USP22, disrupting the interaction between USP22 and RRM2, leading to ubiquitination degradation of RRM2. Animal experiments further confirmed that Gn-Rh2 sensitized NSCLC cells to chemotherapy, particularly cisplatin. These findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of Gn-Rh2 in enhancing chemotherapy sensitivity and suggest a promising therapeutic strategy for NSCLC.\n\nID: 42098749\nTitle: Research progress on the mechanisms of Panax ginseng and its active components in maintaining skin homeostasis and disease intervention.\nAbstract: Panax ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) is a classic herbal medicine widely utilized in dermatological management, yet its precise therapeutic mechanisms have only recently begun to be fully elucidated. This review systematically synthesizes the pharmacological roles of ginseng's active components, including ginsenosides, polysaccharides, and gintonin, in maintaining skin homeostasis and treating various cutaneous pathologies. Emerging evidence suggests that the efficacy of ginseng extends beyond direct molecular interactions, exhibiting the distinct characteristics of \"indirect pharmacology.\" Specifically, parent ginsenosides function primarily as natural prodrugs that require microbial biotransformation into high-affinity active metabolites, such as Compound K and Rh2, to exert potent therapeutic effects. Functionally, these components regulate skin health by mobilizing endogenous host defense systems, particularly through the activation of the Nrf2/ARE antioxidant pathway and the suppression of inflammatory cascades via the NF-\u03baB, MAPK, and IL-1 signaling networks. Furthermore, they remodel the systemic microenvironment through the gut-skin axis, facilitating metabolic homeostasis to improve skin barrier function. Notably, biotransformation rates and ultimate therapeutic efficacy are highly dependent on individualized variables, such as host age, dietary patterns, and baseline disease states. This systemic regulation has demonstrated robust efficacy in intervening in complex pathologies, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and skin cancer. Additionally, this article addresses the translational bottleneck of low bioavailability and evaluates recent advances in novel skin delivery systems, specifically those utilizing ginseng-derived exosomes. Collectively, this review provides a scientific framework for understanding the systemic actions of ginseng, supporting its development as a precision botanical therapy for dermatological applications.\n\nID: 42061772\nTitle: Remote mobilization of gut Tregs exosomes serves as nanoshuttles for targeted cardioprotection against ischemia/reperfusion injury by ginseng polysaccharides.\nAbstract: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) remains a critical clinical condition with limited preventive and therapeutic strategies, underscoring the need for novel interventions. The gut-heart axis and exosomal crosstalk hold therapeutic promise for cardioprotection, yet the fundamental question of which specific gut cells release the beneficial exosomes is unanswered. This study aimed to elucidate whether ginseng polysaccharides WGPA exert remote cardiac protection by regulating intestinal immune homeostasis, specifically through promoting the release of exosomes from regulatory T cells (Tregs). Using integrated in vivo and in vitro models, we evaluated the protective effects of WGPA against MIRI. The results demonstrated that WGPA pretreatment significantly attenuated myocardial injury and improved cardiac function. Mechanistically, WGPA selectively activated intestinal Tregs and enhanced the release of HSP70-enriched exosomes. These exosomes entered systemic circulation and were delivered to the heart, where surface HSP70 interacted with TLR4 on cardiomyocytes, activating downstream protective signaling pathways and ultimately suppressing cardiomyocyte death and inflammatory responses. Our study reveals for the first time a complete mechanism by which medicinal plant polysaccharides confer cross-organ cardioprotection via the \"intestinal Tregs-exosome-heart\" axis, providing a novel theoretical basis and a potential intervention strategy for the prevention and treatment of MIRI.\n\nID: 41985257\nTitle: The drug substance of traditional Japanese Kampo medicines retains exosome-like nanoparticles derived from crude drugs.\nAbstract: Recent studies have highlighted the diverse roles of extracellular vesicles, which have been detected in natural products such as ginger and ginseng. This study examined whether traditional Japanese Kampo medicines also contain extracellular vesicles. The drug substance (i.e., spray-dried powder from hot-water extracts of crude drugs) of the Kampo medicine Ninjin'yoeito was suspended in distilled water and fractionated by size exclusion chromatography to isolate nano-sized particles. Nanoparticle tracking analysis and electron microscopy confirmed the particle size distribution and morphology of the product, confirming the presence of exosome-like nanoparticles in the Kampo medicine preparation. Nanoparticle measurements and electron microscopy revealed vesicle-like structures consistent with the known characteristics of exosomes, and proteomic analysis supported their biochemical identity. Lectin array profiling revealed the abundance of high-mannose N-glycans on their surface. These nanoparticles were internalized by cells, and miRNA analysis indicated the presence of multiple miRNA types within the nanoparticles. This is the first report demonstrating the presence and characteristics of exosome-like nanoparticles in Kampo medicines. Although most active components of Kampo medicines have traditionally been considered small molecules, our findings suggest that extracellular vesicles can also serve as potential bioactive components.\n\nID: 41901427\nTitle: Plant-Derived Nanocarriers for Drug Delivery: A Unified Framework Integrating Extracellular Vesicles, Engineered Phytocarriers, Hybrid Platforms, and Bioinspired Systems.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs), engineered phytosomes, bioinspired polymeric plant-based nanoparticles (PBNPs), hybrid phyto-inorganic nanocomposites, green-synthesized metal nanoparticles, self-assembled nanoarchitectures, and multifunctional composites represent a rapidly advancing class of sustainable, nature-inspired nanocarriers. These platforms combine exceptional biocompatibility, negligible immunogenicity, and renewable sourcing with tunable drug loading, targeted delivery, and controlled release properties. This review synthesizes translational advances from 2020 to 2026, covering scalable isolation/bioprocessing (bioreactors, elicitation), multi-parametric physicochemical/multi-omics characterization, rational engineering/hybridization, and rigorous in vitro/in vivo assessments of uptake, biodistribution, pharmacokinetic (PK), and efficacy. Phytosomes and PBNPs markedly enhance oral bioavailability and targeted delivery of lipophilic phytochemicals, while PDEVs offer unique immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and gene-regulatory activities. Hybrid and green-synthesized systems provide structural stability, redox modulation, and synergistic effects, and self-assembled/multifunctional composites address solubilization barriers with stimuli-responsive design. Early-phase human studies on grapefruit-, ginger-, turmeric-, and ginseng-derived PDEVs report excellent short-term safety, favorable PK, and preliminary bioactivity signals, with no observed immunogenicity or dose-limiting toxicities; however, these trials remain exploratory, constrained by small sample sizes and safety-focused endpoints. Despite challenges, including methodological heterogeneity, variable yields, long-term safety uncertainties (notably for inorganic hybrids), and regulatory ambiguities, emerging strategies such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-engineered plant line; artificial-intelligence-driven process optimization; standardized guidelines, and integrated clinical, intellectual property, and commercialization frameworks are progressively addressing these barriers. Collectively, these advances position plant-derived nanocarriers as immunologically privileged, eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic and mammalian platforms, laying the foundation for a sustainable era of precision phytomedicine.\n\nID: 41858576\nTitle: From Biomedical Mechanisms to Clinical Applications: Research Progress in Plant-Derived Vesicles for Cancer Therapy.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale membranous structures secreted by cells, which carry bioactive molecules (eg, lipids, proteins, miRNAs) and facilitate intercellular communication. Recently, EVs have emerged as natural drug delivery systems. While early research focused on mammalian or bacterial EVs, concerns regarding safety, ethics, and cost limit their clinical translation. Plant-derived vesicles (PDVs), isolated from fruits, vegetables, or medicinal herbs, overcome these issues due to their abundant sources, cost-effectiveness, and favorable safety profile. PDVs from plants like citrus, ginger, and ginseng exhibit inherent anticancer effects by inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis. However, PDV research remains nascent and faces major challenges: (1) Scalable production is inefficient, with current isolation methods yielding impurities and batch variations. (2) Unified markers and classification criteria are lacking, hindering data standardization. (3) High heterogeneity and the absence of systematic databases impede matching PDV sources to specific diseases. (4) Safety assessment frameworks are urgently needed, including contraindications and pharmacokinetic studies. This review summarizes the preparation methods, physicochemical properties, anticancer mechanisms, and drug delivery applications of PDVs, while addressing these challenges and future prospects.\n\nID: 41828378\nTitle: Ginseng Biomacromolecules: Integrating Nutrition and Health, a New Direction in Phytomedicine.\nAbstract: As a traditional dual-purpose ingredient for both medicine and food, the biomacromolecules in Panax ginseng include polysaccharides, pectin, exosomes, proteins and dietary fiber. Due to their unique chemical structures, physiological activities, and processing adaptability, these components have achieved diversified applications in the medical field, becoming one of the core raw materials for functional food development. Modern research shows that the biomacromolecules found in ginseng can regulate the body's immunity, antioxidant and anti-tumor properties, as well as antibacterial properties and the ability to enhance the body's metabolic capacity, demonstrating significant application potential in healthcare-related fields. Recent studies have found that in addition to the root, the stems, leaves, fruits and flowers of P. ginseng also contain various effective components such as ginseng polysaccharides and pectin, which have enhanced the utilization value of ginseng plant resources. Ginseng biomacromolecules can not only replace antibiotics but also improve the production performance of animals by influencing the structure of intestinal flora, providing raw materials for the selection and application of natural feed additives for animals. This review summarizes the latest research findings on the pharmacological properties and practical applications of ginseng-derived biomolecules. It primarily addresses the structural characteristics, pharmacological activities, and current applications in health and medicine of biomolecules such as ginseng polysaccharides, ginseng exosomes, ginseng proteins, and ginseng dietary fiber. It aims to provide a fresh perspective and a solid theoretical foundation for the in-depth development of ginseng in the fields of medicine and molecular biology.\n\nID: 41798903\nTitle: Erratum: Ginseng-Derived Exosomes Attenuate Immune Evasion in NSCLC via PD-L1 Modulation [Corrigendum].\nAbstract: [This corrects the article DOI: 10.2147/CMAR.S540462.].\n\nID: 41792535\nTitle: Design of a Thermoresponsive Nose-to-Brain Neuromaterial for the Release of Naturally Derived Extracellular Vesicles Delivering Teriflunomide for Multiple Sclerosis.\nAbstract: Multiple sclerosis is a neuroinflammatory disease characterized by demyelination and progressive neurological decline. Teriflunomide, a first-line immunomodulatory agent, faces limitations due to oral route of administration and systemic toxicity. To overcome these challenges, we developed a nose-to-brain delivery system comprising teriflunomide-loaded ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (G-EVs) embedded in an in situ nasal gel. G-EVs were isolated via serial centrifugation and double filtration and characterized for particle size (103.5\u2009\u00b1\u20091.09\u00a0nm) and zeta potential (-17.3\u2009\u00b1\u20090.32\u00a0mV) confirming nanoscale uniformity. Teriflunomide was loaded into G-EVs with an entrapment efficiency of 63.24\u2009\u00b1\u20090.75%. In vitro release studies revealed a biphasic drug release profile; an initial burst release of 3% in 24\u00a0h followed by sustained release over 21\u00a0days. The cytotoxicity of the G-EVs, loaded G-EVs and the drug was found to be non-toxic at lower concentrations (<\u20090.5\u00a0mg/ml). It was observed that drug loading enhanced cellular internalization of the G-EVs. Pluronic F127 and chitosan was used to formulate a thermoresponsive and mucoadhesive nasal gel. Rheological analysis demonstrated a sol-gel transition at 34.13\u2009\u00b1\u20090.76\u00a0\u00b0C, with high G' values indicating more elasticity and stiffness, behaving more like a solid. Mucoadhesion testing confirmed strong retention on mucin through texture analysis and in vitro studies. The loaded G-EVs were added to the nasal gel and SEM was performed to confirm uniformity. This formulation could offer a synergistic platform for brain drug delivery, combining the biocompatibility of naturally-derived EVs with the thermoresponsive nasal gel.\n\nID: 41772638\nTitle: Synergistic delivery of ginseng exosomes and biomimetic melanosomes via temporally controlled hydrogel microneedles restrain the pathologic triad of vitiligo.\nAbstract: Vitiligo pathogenesis involves progressive melanocyte loss and keratinocyte dysfunction, which are driven primarily by oxidative stress resulting from excessive ROS accumulation. We engineered a temporally controlled hydrogel microneedle system that integrates ginseng-derived exosomes (G-Exos) with biomimetic polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA@PEGs) to concurrently target the pathogenic triad of vitiligo, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and melanocyte deficiency. This system employs methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HAMA) hydrogel microneedles for rapid PDA@PEG release while utilizing glyceryl monostearate micelles to achieve matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)-responsive G-Exo release at inflammatory foci, enabling intelligent spatiotemporal control. Functionally, G-Exos help restore redox homeostasis and suppress inflammation through bioactive constituents, thereby protecting melanocytes and enhancing keratinocyte proliferation. Moreover, PDA@PEG promotes repigmentation through the dual mechanisms of exogenous melanin deposition and endogenous melanogenesis stimulation. In murine models, this strategy achieves significant repigmentation within 3 weeks by activating follicular stem cells, upregulating melanogenic markers (Tyr/Mc1r), increasing antioxidant defense (ApoE), and suppressing inflammatory signaling (IL-17). This natural-biomimetic hybrid design leverages biocompatible materials to co-target multiple pathological axes, offering a novel self-adaptive approach for microenvironmental rehabilitation in vitiligo.\n\nID: 41703861\nTitle: Geographic variation in ginger-derived nanovesicle lipids identifies chiral protein recognition as a determinant of B-cell internalization.\nAbstract: Plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (PELNs) represent natural nanocarriers for advanced nutrient delivery, with their lipid being a underutilized resource. However, a question is whether geographical variation of plant alters the lipid composition of PELNs to impact immune cells. To investigate this, geographical variation in ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) was leveraged as a natural lipid library. The first step was to determine whether geographical variation triggered biosynthetic divergence in GELNs lipids. Our approach combined lipidomic profiling, functional assays, and computational simulations to identify lipids that govern B-cell internalization and to elucidate their underlying mechanisms. Among 1202 lipids, 88 were differentially abundant (VIP >1.2, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05), and 36 correlated with internalization (|\u03c1|\u00a0>\u00a00.65, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Molecular docking showed DG (32:2) binding strongly to fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) (-8.00\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.17\u00a0kcal/mol) and PG (23:2) variants preferring autotaxin (ATX) (-6.97 to -7.43\u00a0kcal/mol), with both exceeding their affinity for bovine serum albumin, indicating a protein corona-independent mechanism. Molecular dynamics simulations validated the specificity predicted by docking, confirming that DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) form more stable complexes with FAAH and ATX, respectively. These data demonstrated a structure-activity relationship in which the promotion and inhibition of B-cell internalization are mediated by the key lipids DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) engaging FAAH and ATX through stereospecific interactions, respectively. This work establishes a phenotype-driven pipeline that bridges botanical diversity with precision nutrition, providing a source of functional dietary lipids, a mechanistic basis for their immunomodulatory effects, and a robust tool for quality evaluation.\n\nID: 41692829\nTitle: Biomimetic metal-drug coordination nanoplatform to counteract drug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa via energy disruption.\nAbstract: The rapid emergence of antimicrobial resistance is a critical global health challenge that renders conventional antibiotics ineffective. Developing innovative strategies to resensitize drug-resistant pathogens to existing antibiotics represents a promising therapeutic approach. Here, we present a biomimetic nanoplatform (Ce-Car@EV NPs) through the rational integration of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) and a pH-responsive cerium-carbenicillin coordination nanoparticles (Ce-Car NCPs). This design enables prolonged circulation and targeted degradation in acidic infection sites, releasing Ce4+ ions and carbenicillin. The released Ce4+ ions penetrate the bacterial cells, where they disrupt ATP synthesis, impede oxidative phosphorylation, and inhibit the activity of efflux pump. By depleting ATP, blocking efflux pumps, and thereby reversing bacterial resistance, Ce4+ ions act as a potent adjuvant to carbenicillin. Here we show that this strategy effectively restores carbenicillin efficacy against drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa both in vitro and in vivo, establishing a therapeutic strategy leveraging metallic adjuvants to counteract antimicrobial resistance.\n\nID: 41688997\nTitle: Cross-kingdom miRNA delivery by Panax notoginseng-derived extracellular-like nanoparticles vesicles restores neuronal function after ischemic injury.\nAbstract: Blood-brain barrier (BBB) impermeability remains a major obstacle to the effective treatment of neurological disorders, particularly ischemic stroke. Here, we revealed that plant-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (PEVs) offer a promising strategy to overcome this barrier. Using an optimized high-yield extraction protocol, we isolated PEVs from four medicinal plants: Panax ginseng, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, and Ligusticum chuanxiong. Among these, extracellular vesicles derived from Panax notoginseng (NotoEV, vesicle population) exhibited the strongest neuroprotective effects under hypoxic conditions in vitro and in vivo stroke models. Mechanistically, NotoEV delivered conserved plant microRNAs to recipient neurons, where they suppressed key stress granule nucleators GTPase-activating protein-binding protein 2 (G3bp2), Ubiquitin-associated protein 2 like (Ubap2l), and LSM14A mRNA processing body assembly factor (Lsm14a), activated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, and promoted mitochondrial stabilization via the B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)/ Translocase Of Outer Mitochondrial Membrane 20 (TOM20) axis. This cross-kingdom RNA delivery reprogrammed neuronal stress responses, reduced infarct volume, preserved neuronal morphology, and restored electrophysiological function. Collectively, our findings establish a scalable platform for plant-based nanotherapeutics and highlight the translational potential of NotoEV in treating ischemic stroke.\n\nID: 41674725\nTitle: Oral ginger-derived extracellular vesicles ameliorate arthritis via anti-inflammatory actions of microRNA-149 and 6-gingerol.\nAbstract: Ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEVs) have emerged as a novel anti-inflammatory agent with advantages such as oral bioavailability, natural origin, and cost-effective large-scale production. This study evaluated the therapeutic potential of GDEVs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation and joint destruction. We conducted both in vitro and in vivo experiments using synovial fibroblasts derived from RA patients and a collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) mouse model. In vitro, GDEVs significantly suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) and interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2 and downstream mediators IL-6, Cox-2, and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) and inhibited the proliferation and migration of RA synovial fibroblasts. In vivo, oral administration of GDEVs to CAIA mice reduced arthritis severity, attenuated synovitis, preserved cartilage integrity, and suppressed osteoclast activation. GDEVs were stable against gastric digestion and were efficiently taken up by intestinal cells, supporting their oral availability. Microarray and RNA sequencing identified miR-149 as a key regulatory molecule in GDEVs, associated with the suppression of inflammation-related signaling pathways, including Ras signaling and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. These findings highlight the potential of GDEVs as an anti-inflammatory therapy for RA. Given their stability and bioavailability, the oral administration of GDEVs could be a promising non-invasive treatment for future clinical applications.\n\nID: 41538424\nTitle: Versatile DNA Hydrogel-Mediated Delivery of Ginsenoside-Encapsulated Small Extracellular Vesicles to Boost Diabetic Wound Repair.\nAbstract: Diabetic wound healing is often hindered by poor outcomes, prolonged recovery, and high recurrence. To address this, a new therapy approach was demonstrated in this study, in which ginsenoside (GS) molecules are incorporated into small extracellular vesicles (sEV) secreted by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and the formed complexes are then anchored in DNA hydrogels via aptamer-CD63 affinity as \"GS/sEV@DNAgels\". Besides the tissue-restorative ability that sEVs inherit from MSCs, in GS/sEV@DNAgels, GS molecules provide a superior antimicrobial/anti-inflammatory environment at wound sites, while DNA hydrogels serve as wound dressings to ensure sustained release kinetics and enhanced skin penetration. An innovative ultrasonic stimulation was developed to promote the massive production of sEVs. By triggering multiple cellular responses that alter membrane fluidity, calcium levels, and relevant protein expression, our approach achieves a 57.7-fold increase in sEV yield. The synergistic effects of GS and sEVs enhance cell viability, migration, and angiogenesis, as well as local anti-inflammatory and antibacterial conditions during diabetic wound healing. The upregulation of miR-424/322 is confirmed as an essential mechanism of this GS/sEV@DNAgel system in accelerating skin restoration. Our work provides a new and promising strategy for diabetic tissue regeneration.\n\nID: 41484169\nTitle: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles for itraconazole delivery across the blood-brain barrier for potential glioblastoma treatment.\nAbstract: Background A major challenge in central nervous system disorders such glioblastoma includes the presence of a blood-brain barrier which restricts the delivery of therapeutic agents to the brain, thereby limiting the effectiveness of most conventional treatments. Moreover, the discovery of novel drugs for glioblastoma has been limited hence drug repurposing has gained traction leveraging existing drugs like itraconazole. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have potential as a natural pharmaceutical delivery system owing to their therapeutic capabilities. These PDEVs may be a good candidate for blood-brain barrier permeation due to their biomolecular composition and high drug loading efficiency of itraconazole. In this work, PDEVs isolated from aloe aborescens (aloe), Zingiber officinale (ginger) and Nigella sativa seeds [black cumin seeds (BCS)] were compared in terms of their physicochemical properties, drug release kinetics, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake in glioblastoma cells and BBB permeability. Results All PDEVs displayed nanoscale sizes ranging from 103.5 to 141\u00a0nm with negative surface charge and a spherical morphological shape observed via SEM. The drug release kinetics was assessed using different mathematical models depicting the PDEVs prolonged drug release with <\u200950% releasing over 21 days. The cytotoxicity studies showed that the PDEVs resulted in a higher cell viability in the non-cancerous cell line compared to A172 glioblastoma cell line. The cellular internalization of the drug showed poor uptake of blank PDEVs compared to loaded PDEVs in glioblastoma cells. The BBB permeability test showed that ginger and aloe EVs permeated the BBB whilst BCS blank and loaded EVs did not permeate the BBB. Conclusions This delivery system improves the ability of plant-derived extracellular vesicles to cross the blood-brain barrier, addressing a key challenge in delivering treatments to the brain. Through successful encapsulation of itraconazole, it paves the way for glioblastoma treatment by repurposing itraconazole with improved efficacy and reduced side effects. Furthermore, this can be incorporated in various drug delivery vehicles depending on the route of administration and therapeutic outcome i.e. intranasal, intravenous, or oral route. Future studies focus on determining the composition of PDEVs to enable engineering strategies for next generation targeting via surface modification.\n\nID: 41469236\nTitle: Enhanced Delivery of Oral Biomacromolecules through Edible Plant-Derived Nanovehicles: Exploiting the Self-Amplifying Trancytosis Feedback Loop and Phosphatidic Acid.\nAbstract: The intestinal epithelium poses a formidable obstacle to the systemic absorption of the oral nanovehicles. Despite the development of extracellular vesicles (EVs) for drug delivery, there has been limited exploration into edible-product-derived EVs (EP-EVs), particularly those derived from plants as carriers to enhance the oral delivery of biomacromolecules. Here, we evaluated the potential of EP-EVs and highlighted their promising application and underlying mechanisms as orally delivered carriers from plant-derived EVs. Grape-derived EVs (Gra-EVs) were found to have superior efficacy in oral delivery of insulin to T1D rats compared to ginger-derived EVs (Gin-EVs) and milk-derived EVs (Mi-EVs), attributed to their enhanced endocytosis, secretion pathways, and more efficient transcytosis across epithelia. The capacity of Gra-EVs to regulate epithelial proteins associated with cytoskeletal organization, secretion, and recycling-related transport facilitated a robust positive feedback loop known as the self-amplifying feedback loop, thereby enhancing intestinal absorption. Notably, phosphatidic acid (PA), the phospholipid abundant in plant-derived EVs, was proved to augment the transcytosis through MAPK/ERK1/2 signaling pathway activation. Thus, edible plant-derived EVs, especially Gra-EVs, exploited the self-amplifying feedback loop and phosphatidic acid for improved oral delivery of biomacromolecules.\n\nID: 41277808\nTitle: Natural Ginger-Derived Exosomes as Effective Therapeutics for Glioblastoma.\nAbstract: Despite significant therapeutic advances with chemotherapy and immunotherapy in some solid tumors, clinical outcomes for glioblastoma multiform (GBM) remain suboptimal. Owing to their high yield, easy accessibility and cost-effectiveness, plant-derived extracellular vehicles (EVs) have become attractive platforms for biomedical uses. Our study shows that fully natural ginger-derived exosomes (GEXO) effectively inhibited GBM progression through dual mechanisms: (a) direct activation of apoptotic pathways in GBM cells, and (b) induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) that transforms dead tumor cells into endogenous vaccines. Mechanistically, GEXO demonstrated superior blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration through clathrin-, caveolin- and macropinocytosis-mediated transcytosis, followed by tumor-specific accumulation via exocytosis. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that GEXO promoted an immunogenic shift in dying GBM cells, enhancing dendritic cell maturation and cytotoxic T-cell responses. In orthotopic GL261 and CT2A models, GEXO significantly prolonged survival without observable toxicity. The natural GEXO platform represents a promising, biosafe strategy with clinical potential for refractory GBM.\n\nID: 41177462\nTitle: Nasal-to-brain siRNA delivery based on trace amine associated receptor for improving cognitive function.\nAbstract: Gene-based therapies for central nervous system (CNS) disorders face substantial challenges in overcoming the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to effectively target brain tissues. The nasal-to-brain delivery route has gained increasing attention as it bypasses the BBB, facilitating faster drug delivery to the lesion site while minimizing systemic side effects. Here, we developed a nasal-to-brain delivery system to administer small interfering RNA (siRNA) for the treatment of radiation-induced brain injury (RBI). RNA sequencing revealed that the p53 signaling pathway was predominantly enriched in the hippocampus, with significant upregulation of Alox12B expression in RBI mice. To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles, termed S-GEVs@siRNA. These nanoparticles leveraged the targeting capabilities of spermidine for olfactory receptor-trace amine associated receptor (TAAR), enhancing siRNA delivery and therapeutic efficacy. After intranasal administration, the nanoparticles were efficiently internalized by olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) via the olfactory nerve pathway. The nanoparticles then escaped lysosomes, releasing siRNA into the cytoplasm, leading to gene downregulation and therapeutic benefits. Our results demonstrated that the designed nanoparticles were absorbed by the ORNs labeled with the Olfactory Marker Protein (OMP) and TAAR5 and successfully entered the olfactory bulb and the brain. Treatment with these nanoparticles significantly reduced p53-mediated neuronal ferroptosis and improved synaptic function both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, S-GEVs@siRNA nanoparticles rapidly reached the olfactory bulb through TAAR-mediated endocytosis, entered hippocampal neurons, downregulated Alox12B expression, exerted neuroprotective effects, and alleviated RBI-induced cognitive dysfunction. The designed nasal-to-brain delivery system holds great promise for treating various CNS diseases.\n\nID: 40855404\nTitle: From Plants to Patients: Advancing Cancer Therapy With Bioengineered Exosomes and AI-Driven Innovations.\nAbstract: Cancer is a leading global cause of death, with complex pathogenesis and treatment challenges like poor selectivity, toxicity, and drug resistance. Nanotechnology offers transformative solutions, with plant-derived exosomes (EXOs) emerging as promising green nanomaterials for personalized cancer therapy because of their biocompatibility and minimal antigenicity, and eco-friendly production. This review discusses the potential of plant EXOs in cancer treatment, covering isolation methods, advantages over mammalian EXOs (e.g., stability, cost-effectiveness, and evasion of drug resistance mechanisms), and preclinical applications. For instance, ginger EXOs suppress colorectal cancer via cytokine modulation, grapefruit EXOs target brain tumors, and lemon EXOs induce apoptosis in triple-negative breast cancer. Plant EXOs also enhance drug delivery when loaded with chemotherapeutics, nucleic acids, or immunomodulators, improving precision and reducing off-target effects. Despite their promise, challenges remain in scalability, purity, long-term safety for non-oral routes, and clinical translation. Future research must optimize isolation techniques, clarify molecular mechanisms, and validate pharmacokinetics to advance clinical adoption. This review offers a complete examination of plant EXOs, including biogenesis, characterization, engineering strategies, anti-cancer mechanisms (e.g., apoptosis induction, immune modulation), and therapeutic applications. It also addresses hurdles like standardization and regulatory gaps while advocating interdisciplinary collaboration to bridge lab-to-clinic gaps. By harnessing plant EXOs' potential, this work highlights a path toward sustainable, targeted cancer therapies, urging further innovation to overcome existing barriers and realize their full clinical impact.\n\nID: 40714420\nTitle: Plant-derived exosomes: Unveiling the similarities and disparities between conventional extract and innovative form.\nAbstract: Herbal medicine, historically valued for its multi-component therapeutic synergy, faces significant challenges in clinical translation due to crude raw materials, compositional complexity, and low bioavailability, as well as unclear effective substances and action targets. As an innovative form of herbal medicine, plant-derived exosomes (PDEs) exhibit their therapeutic potential from a unique phospholipid bilayer structure, which encapsulates bioactive molecules including proteins, lipids, RNAs, and metabolites. This study aims to elucidate the components, bioavailability, drug delivery, and stability of PDEs by reviewing the keywords including exosome, nanoparticle, and vesicle regarding plants and herbs in the databases (e.g., PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar), specially focusing on the high-frequency medicinal species (e.g., Ginseng, Ginger, Pueraria root, Turmeric, and Wolfberry). Unlike conventional extracts of herbal medicine, which lose critical compounds during drying or alcohol-based processing, PDEs derived from fresh plant tissues preserve native phytochemical integrity and enhance bioactivity. Advanced extraction techniques and cargo-loading strategies further amplify their therapeutic potential, enabling precise modulation of pathways such as macrophage polarization and immune checkpoint. Despite these advantages, hurdles in standardizing isolation protocols, ensuring storage stability, and validating clinical efficacy remain key obstacles to widespread adoption. The natural surface proteins of PDEs, which facilitate receptor-specific targeting without synthetic modification, exemplify their ability to bridge the synergy of herbal medicine with precision medicine. These advances position PDEs as transformative agents of herbal medicine in chronic disease management, offering a paradigm shift toward stable, targeted, and efficacious phytotherapy.\n\nID: 40414583\nTitle: Therapeutic potential of plant-derived small extracellular vesicles in sepsis: A network meta-analysis.\nAbstract: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by systemic inflammation and multi-organ dysfunction. Plant-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have emerged as promising therapeutic agents due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. This study conducted a network meta-analysis to identify the most effective plant-derived sEVs for reducing sepsis-induced inflammation and oxidative stress. The analysis included 13 studies evaluating 10 plant-derived sEVs in sepsis-mimicking conditions, with primary outcomes focused on cytokine levels and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in vitro and in vivo. Secondary outcomes included nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression and cell viability. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251011005). Ginger-derived sEVs were identified as the most effective, significantly reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), increasing the anti-inflammatory cytokine (interleukin-10), and suppressing ROS production. They also enhanced Nrf2 expression and improved cell viability, highlighting their role in antioxidant defense and cytoprotection. In conclusion, ginger-derived sEVs are the most effective plant-derived sEVs for mitigating sepsis-induced inflammation and oxidation in both in vitro and in vivo sepsis-mimicking models.\n\nID: 40242442\nTitle: A multifaceted microenvironment nanoregulator for targeted ovarian cancer therapy.\nAbstract: The treatment of ovarian cancer is hindered by its insidious onset and rapid progression. Exosomes (EXOs) present a promising therapeutic strategy for ovarian cancer by modulating the tumor microenvironment. However, concerns regarding the biosafety of animal-derived EXOs pose significant challenges to the development of innovative formulations. In this study, we propose a universal strategy to engineer plant-derived EXOs as microenvironment nanoregulators for targeted ovarian cancer therapy. EXOs derived from ginger were purified, loaded with the natural bioactive compound curcumin (Cur) with high encapsulation efficiency, and functionalized with a tumor-targeting aptamer. Upon intravenous administration, the resulting multifaceted microenvironment nanoregulator, termed AGE@Cur, effectively accumulates at the tumor site and exerts a tumor-suppressive effect through remodeling the tumor microenvironment. This novel therapeutic platform not only addresses the limitations of animal-derived EXOs but also paves the way for the development of innovative microenvironment regulators in clinical applications.\n\nID: 40121965\nTitle: Edible ginseng-derived exosomes as drug delivery vehicles reduce the dose and improve the anti-cancer effect of CDDP.\nAbstract: Nanotechnology and nanomaterials have emerged as promising tools for the delivery of anti-tumor drug cisplatin (CDDP). However, concerns exist regarding potential toxicity and cost-effectiveness, limiting their clinical applications. In contrast, plant-derived exosomes (PDEs), as natural nanovesicles, offer significant advantages as drug delivery carriers due to their large-scale production, biocompatibility, and ability to efficiently transport therapeutic drug across cellular barriers. In this work, we established a ginseng-derived exosome (G-Exo)-based CDDP delivery system (G-CDDP) and evaluated its anti-tumor efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. The results demonstrated that G-CDDP effectively targeted tumor site, inhibiting the proliferation and migration and promoting apoptosis in U-87MG tumor cells. Notably, the amount of CDDP in G-CDDP required for achieving the same cytotoxic effect on tumor cells was 12.66 times lower than that of free CDDP. In U-87MG tumor-bearing mice, G-CDDP effectively targeted tumor sites and exhibited significant therapeutic effect. Collectively, these findings highlight the potent anti-tumor activity of G-CDDP at reduced CDDP dosage, positioning it as a promising and efficient alternative to conventional drug treatments in clinical settings.\n\nID: 40097886\nTitle: The role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the protective effect of ginger derived extracellular vesicles on hepatic stellate cells against cytotoxicity.\nAbstract: Previous studies have shown that ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (Gin-EVs) can alleviate alcohol-induced liver injury. It remained unknown and needs to be further verified that whether the vesicles has therapeutic potential to alleviate the progression of liver fibrosis. Moreover, the relevant mechanisms need to be further studied. Herein, we provide evidence that Gin-EVs effectively interact with human hepatic stellate cells (LX-2), offering protection against carbon tetrachloride (CCL4) or lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced liver fibrosis. The treatment with Gin-EVs was observed to mitigate fibrosis and enhance cell viability in LX-2 cells exposed to CCL4 or LPS. Mechanistically, Gin-EVs counteracted mitochondrial dysfunction by restoring mitochondrial dynamics imbalance characterized by enhanced fusion and reduced fission events while promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, thereby potentially preventing fibrotic processes in LX-2 cells. Collectively, the findings highlight the direct cytoprotective effects of Gin-EVs on LX-2 cells and suggest their promising role as a therapeutic option for hepatic fibrosis.\n\nID: 39978779\nTitle: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles as nanocarriers for combination therapy enhancing paclitaxel-based regimens in breast cancer.\nAbstract: Breast cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) presents unique challenges owing to its aggressiveness and limited treatment options. Paclitaxel-based chemotherapy is widely used in breast cancer treatment. However, its efficacy is often limited by toxicity, multidrug resistance, and lack of targeted delivery. In response to these challenges, recent studies have focused on the use of extracellular vesicles (EVs), particularly plant-derived EVs, as innovative drug delivery systems capable of enhancing therapeutic outcomes and reducing adverse effects. Plant-derived EVs offer significant advantages owing to their biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and scalability. They provide a natural platform for delivering chemotherapeutics such as paclitaxel and doxorubicin directly to tumor cells. This review explores the therapeutic potential of plant-derived EVs in breast cancer treatment, focusing on TNBC by examining their ability to improve drug stability, bioavailability, and selective targeting of cancer cells. Key studies on EVs derived from plants such as grapefruit, ginger, and tea leaves have demonstrated their capacity to deliver chemotherapeutic agents effectively while mitigating common side effects associated with conventional delivery methods. Although the use of plantderived EVs is still in early stages of research, findings suggest that that these nanocarriers can serve as transformative tools in oncology, providing a versatile and efficient platform for precise cancer treatment. This review highlights current landscape of research on plant-derived EVs, their application in breast cancer therapy, and future directions required to translate these findings into clinical practice.

Despite the availability of conventional treatments, they are often marred by significant side effects and the associated high costs. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) offer a compelling alternative, owing to their abundant availability, affordability, low immunogenicity, high biocompatibility, and feasibility for large-scale production. These vesicles enhance intercellular communication by transferring intrinsic bioactive molecules. In our research, we delve into the capacity of PEVs to treat RA, highlighting the role of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEVs). By conjugating GDEVs with folic acid (FA), we have developed FA-GDEVs that maintain their inherent immunomodulatory properties. FA-GDEVs are designed to selectively target M1 macrophages in inflamed joints via the folate receptors (FRs). Our in vitro findings indicate that FA-GDEVs promote the polarization towards a reparative M2 macrophage phenotype by modulating the PI3K-AKT pathway. Further corroboration comes from in vivo studies, which demonstrate that FA-GDEVs not only concentrate efficiently in the affected joints but also markedly reduce the manifestations of RA. Synthesizing these findings, it is evident that FA-GDEVs emerge as a hopeful candidate for RA treatment, offering benefits such as safety, affordability, and therapeutic efficacy.\n\nID: 39587576\nTitle: Chinese herbal medicine-derived extracellular vesicles as novel biotherapeutic tools: present and future.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are phospholipid bilayer-enclosed biological particles that are secreted by almost all living cells including animals, plants, and microorganisms. Chinese herbal medicines (CHM) have a long history of using plant-based remedies to treat and prevent human diseases. Chinese herbal medicine-derived extracellular vesicle (CHMEV) generic term refers to nanoscale membrane structures isolated from medicinal plants such as ginseng, ginger, and Panax notoginseng. In recent years, CHMEVs have garnered substantial attention as a novel class of functional components due to their high bioavailability, safety, easy accessibility, and diverse therapeutic effects, indicating their great potential for development as a new dosage form of CHM. Research on CHMEVs in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has become a prominent area of interest, opening new avenues for further exploration into the therapeutic effects and functional mechanisms of CHM. Nonetheless, as an emerging field, there is much unknown about these vesicles, and current research remains inconsistent. The review comprehensively summarizes the biogenesis, isolation methods, and physical, and biochemical characterizations of CHMEVs. Additionally, we highlight their biomedical applications as therapeutic agents and drug delivery carriers, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, regenerative, and antiaging activities. Finally, we propose current challenges and future perspectives. By summarizing the existing literature, we aim to offer valuable clues and inspiration for future CHMEV research, thereby facilitating research standardization of CHMEVs in the treatment of human diseases and drug discovery.\n\nID: 39422163\nTitle: Biomimetic Electrodynamic Metal-Organic Framework Nanosponges for Augmented Treatment of Biofilm Infections.\nAbstract: Electrodynamic therapy (EDT) is a promising alternative approach for antibacterial therapy, as reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced efficiently in response to an electric field without relying on endogenous H2O2 and O2. However, the inherent toxicity of metallic catalysts and numerous bacterial toxins during the therapeutic process still hinder its development. Herein, biomimetic metal-organic (MOF@EV) nanosponges composed of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), and electrodynamic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are developed for the eradication of bacterial infections and the absorption of toxins. The prolonged circulation time of MOF@EV in vivo facilitates their accumulation at infection sites. More interestingly, MOF@EV can behave as nanosponges and effectively prevent host cells from binding to bacterial toxins, thereby reducing damage to cells. Subsequently, the MOF@EV nanosponges are discovered to work as electro-sensitizers, which is confirmed through both theoretical calculation and experimental verification. As a result, ROS is continuously produced under the electric field to achieve effective EDT-mediated bacterial eradication. Meanwhile, the treatment process of MOF@EV in vivo is visualized in mice infected with luciferase-expressing Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and excellent biofilm eradication capacity and detoxification efficiency are demonstrated in a subcutaneous abscess model. This work provides a promising strategy for the treatment of bacterial infections.\n\nID: 39303016\nTitle: Functional Ginger-Derived Extracellular Vesicles-Coated ZIF-8 Containing TNF-\u03b1 siRNA for Ulcerative Colitis Therapy by Modulating Gut Microbiota.\nAbstract: Tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) plays a causal role in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC), and anti-TNF-\u03b1 siRNA shows great promise in UC therapy. However, delivering siRNA with site-targeted stability and therapeutic efficacy is still challenging due to the complex and dynamic intestinal microenvironment. Here, based on the functional plant-derived ginger extracellular vesicles (EVs) and porous ZIF-8 nanoparticles, we propose a novel TNF-\u03b1 siRNA delivery strategy (EVs@ZIF-8@siRNA) for UC targeted therapy. Ginger EVs show strong colon and macrophage targeting, as well as robust resistance to acidic degradation in the stomach. Moreover, 6-shogaol in ginger-derived EVs displays anti-inflammatory effects, which enhance the treatment efficiency by cooperation with TNF-\u03b1 siRNA. In vitro experiments reveal that ZIF-8 nanoparticles have high TNF-\u03b1 siRNA loading capacity and promote siRNA escape from cellular lysosomes. In vivo experiments show that the TNF-\u03b1 level is reduced more significantly in colonic tissue than other nontargeted inflammation related factors, showing a good targeting of this composite nanoparticle. Furthermore, gut microbiota sequencing results demonstrate that the nanoparticles can promote intestinal barrier repair by regulating the intestinal microbial balance and restoring the intestinal health of UC mice. Therefore, the developed EVs@ZIF-8@siRNA nanoparticles may represent a novel colon-targeted oral drug, providing a promising therapeutic strategy for UC therapy.\n\nID: 38964625\nTitle: Overview of Panax ginseng and its active ingredients protective mechanism on cardiovascular diseases.\nAbstract: Panax ginseng is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine used to treat cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and it is still widely used to improve the clinical symptoms of various CVDs. However, there is currently a lack of summary and analysis on the mechanism of Panax ginseng exerts its cardiovascular protective effects. This article provides a review of in vivo and in vitro pharmacological studies on Panax ginseng and its active ingredients in reducing CVDs damage. This review summarized the latest literature on Panax ginseng and its active ingredients in CVDs research, aiming to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the cardiovascular protection mechanism of Panax ginseng, and to provide new ideas for the treatment of CVDs, as well as to optimize the clinical application of Panax ginseng. Enrichment of pathways and biological terms using the traditional Chinese medicine molecular mechanism bioinformatics analysis tool (BATMAN-TCM). The literature search is based on electronic databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, CNKI, with a search period of 2002-2023. The search terms include Panax ginseng, Panax ginseng ingredients, ginsenosides, ginseng polysaccharides, ginseng glycoproteins, ginseng volatile oil, CVDs, heart, and cardiac. 132 articles were ultimately included in the review. The ingredients in Panax ginseng that manifested cardiovascular protective effects are mainly ginsenosides (especially ginsenoside Rb1). Ginsenosides protected against CVDs such as ischemic reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis and heart failure mainly through improving energy metabolism, inhibiting hyper-autophagy, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and promoting secretion of exosomes. Panax ginseng and its active ingredients have a particularly prominent effect on improving myocardial energy metabolism remodeling in protecting against CVDs. The AMPK and PPAR signaling pathways are the key targets through which Panax ginseng produces multiple mechanisms of cardiovascular protection. Extracellular vesicles and nanoparticles as carriers are potential delivery ways for optimizing the bioavailability of Panax ginseng and its active ingredients.\n\nID: 38794255\nTitle: Mass Production of Rg1-Loaded Small Extracellular Vesicles Using a 3D Bioreactor System for Enhanced Cardioprotective Efficacy of Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity.\nAbstract: Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) obtained from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown cardioprotective efficacy in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). However, their clinical application is limited due to the low yield and high consumption. This study aims to achieve large-scale production of sEVs using a three-dimensional (3D) bioreactor system. In addition, sEVs were developed to deliver Ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1), a compound derived from traditional Chinese medicine, Ginseng, that has cardioprotective properties but limited bioavailability, to enhance the treatment of DIC. The 3D bioreactor system with spinner flasks was used to expand human umbilical cord MSCs and collect MSC-conditioned medium. Subsequently, sEVs were isolated from the conditioned medium using differential ultra-centrifugation (dUC). The sEVs were loaded with Ginsenoside Rg1 by electroporation and evaluated for cardioprotective efficacy using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) analysis, Annexin V/PI staining and live cell count of H9c2 cells under DIC. Using the 3D bioreactor system with spinner flasks, the expansion of MSCs reached ~600 million, and the production of sEVs was up to 2.2 \u00d7 1012 particles in five days with significantly reduced bench work compared to traditional 2D flasks. With the optimized protocol, the Ginsenoside Rg1 loading efficiency of sEVs by electroporation was ~21%, higher than sonication or co-incubation. Moreover, Rg1-loaded sEVs had attenuated DOX-induced cardiotoxicity with reduced apoptosis compared to free Ginsenoside Rg1 or sEVs. The 3D culture system scaled up the production of sEVs, which facilitated the Rg1 delivery and attenuated cardiomyocyte apoptosis, suggesting a potential treatment of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.\n\nID: 38353384\nTitle: Hybrid Ginseng-derived Extracellular Vesicles-Like Particles with Autologous Tumor Cell Membrane for Personalized Vaccination to Inhibit Tumor Recurrence and Metastasis.\nAbstract: Personalized cancer vaccines based on resected tumors from patients is promising to address tumor heterogeneity to inhibit tumor recurrence or metastasis. However, it remains challenge to elicit immune activation due to the weak immunogenicity of autologous tumor antigens. Here, a hybrid membrane cancer vaccine is successfully constructed by membrane fusion to enhance adaptive immune response and amplify personalized immunotherapy, which formed a codelivery system for autologous tumor antigens and immune adjuvants. Briefly, the functional hybrid vesicles (HM-NPs) are formed by hybridizing ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles-like particles (G-EVLPs) with the membrane originated from the resected autologous tumors. The introduction of G-EVLPs can enhance the phagocytosis of autologous tumor antigens by dendritic cells (DCs) and facilitate DCs maturation through TLR4, ultimately activating tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). HM-NPs can indeed strengthen specific immune responses to suppress tumors recurrence and metastasis including subcutaneous tumors and orthotopic tumors. Furthermore, a long-term immune protection can be obtained after vaccinating with HM-NPs, and prolonging the survival of animals. Overall, this personalized hybrid autologous tumor vaccine based on G-EVLPs provides the possibility of mitigating tumor recurrence and metastasis after surgery while maintaining good biocompatibility.\n\nID: 38132480\nTitle: Improvement in Yield of Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Edelweiss Callus Treated with LED Light and Enhancement of Skin Anti-Aging Indicators.\nAbstract: The process of skin aging is currently recognized as a disease, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) are being used to care for it. While various EVs are present in the market, there is a growing need for research on improving skin conditions through microbial and plant-derived EVs. Edelweiss is a medicinal plant and is currently an endangered species. Callus culture is a method used to protect rare medicinal plants, and recently, research on EVs using callus culture has been underway. In this study, the researchers used LED light to increase the productivity of Edelweiss EVs and confirmed that productivity was enhanced by LED exposure. Additionally, improvements in skin anti-aging indicators were observed. Notably, M-LED significantly elevated callus fresh and dry weight, with a DW/FW ratio of 4.11%, indicating enhanced proliferation. Furthermore, M-LED boosted secondary metabolite production, including a 20% increase in total flavonoids and phenolics. The study explores the influence of M-LED on EV production, revealing a 2.6-fold increase in concentration compared to darkness. This effect is consistent across different plant species (Centella asiatica, Panax ginseng), demonstrating the universality of the phenomenon. M-LED-treated EVs exhibit a concentration-dependent inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, surpassing dark-cultured EVs. Extracellular melanin content analysis reveals M-LED-cultured EVs' efficacy in reducing melanin production. Additionally, the expression of key skin proteins (FLG, AQP3, COL1) is significantly higher in fibroblasts treated with M-LED-cultured EVs. These results are expected to provide valuable insights into research on improving the productivity of plant-derived EVs and enhancing skin treatment using plant-derived EVs.\n\nID: 37086283\nTitle: Application of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles in drug delivery.\nAbstract: Exosomes are one type of extracellular vesicles with size ranging from 30 to 150\u2009nm, which are involved in intercellular communication by transporting specific proteins, nucleic acids, and low molecular weight metabolites. The size and competence of exosomes to transfer biological materials to recipient cells have made them suitable for biomedical use. Therefore, exosomes have been studied as drug delivery systems for various diseases due to low immunogenicity, preferred tumor homing, innate and acquired targetability, and stability. They are secreted by almost all cells from multivesicular endosomes and retrieved in all body fluids including bile, saliva, blood, lymph, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, milk, and etc. Plants' organs also secrete exosomes (Plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs)) which have been considered as an economical and affordable source of production. PELNs are pharmacologically rich in active molecules because of owning unique compositional and morphological features and they can be used as natural nano-carrier for transporting exogenous molecules. In this review, the bio-component and the applications of PELNs as drug delivery systems in neural disorders, tumor-targeted delivery, and gene delivery have been reviewed in different plants such as aloe, turmeric, ginger, lemon, grapefruit, grape, and strawberry.\n\nID: 34297224\nTitle: The Study of Ginger-Derived Extracellular Vesicles as a Natural Nanoscale Drug Carrier and Their Intestinal Absorption in Rats.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles have been widely used in drug delivery systems and clinical studies as a new natural nanoscale drug carrier. Most of these studies focused on the extracellular vesicles from animals, but few involved in the extracellular vesicles from edible plants. This study was the first to explore the potential and value of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEVs) as drug carrier by using the content ratio method and to further study their intestinal absorption in rats. In this experiment, GDEVs were extracted and purified by ultrahigh-speed centrifugation. GDEVs were saucer-like with a particle size of 70.09\u00b119.24 nm and a zeta potential of -27.70\u00b112.20 mV. In this experiment, high-performance liquid chromatography was used to explore the difference in gingerol content between GDEVs and ginger slices. Under the same mass, the contents of 6-gingerol (6G), 8-gingerol (8G), and 10-gingerol (10G) in GDEVs were 10.21-fold, 22.69-fold, and 32.36-fold of those in ginger slices, respectively. In this experiment, the absorption kinetics and absorption site of GDEVs were investigated using in situ single-pass intestinal perfusion method in rats. GDEVs could be absorbed by the small intestine in the concentration range of 15-60 mg/mL, and the absorption trend of different intestinal segments was duodenum > jejunum > ileum. These results indicated that GDEVs had good loading capacity and significant prospects as a carrier of the drug delivery system. At the same time, combining the oil-water partition coefficient (6G < 8G < 10G) of three gingerol compounds, we speculated that the loading capacity of GDEVs increased with the increase of the lipid solubility of the compounds. This study fully demonstrated the potential and value of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles as natural nanocarrier and provided an important reference for the further application of plant-derived extracellular vesicles in the drug delivery system.\n\nID: 33884767\nTitle: Pharmacokinetics of Ginsenoside Compound K From a Compound K Fermentation Product, CK-30, and From Red Ginseng Extract in Healthy Korean Subjects.\nAbstract: Natural protopanaxadiol ginsenosides exhibit low absorption in the human intestine. However, ginsenoside compound K (CK) with 1 conjugated glucose molecule exhibits favorable absorption. The purpose of this study was to compare the pharmacokinetics of ginsenoside CK from a CK fermentation product, CK-30, and from a red ginseng extract. A randomized, open-label, 2-treatment, 2\u00d72 crossover study was conducted. The volunteers were randomly divided into 2 groups. One group received CK-30, and the other group received 2.94 g of a red ginseng extract. After a 7-day washout period, the subjects received an alternative treatment for a single dose. The pharmacokinetic parameters, including the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of last measurable concentration, were calculated. The median time to reach Cmax of ginsenoside CK after administration of CK-30 was 3.0 hours, whereas the corresponding value of the red ginseng extract was 10.0 hours. Compared with the red ginseng extract, CK-30 resulted in a higher systemic exposure to ginsenoside CK, with a 118.3-fold increase in Cmax and a 135.1-fold increase in area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of last measurable concentration. The systemic exposure to ginsenoside CK was significantly higher after administration of CK-30 than red ginseng extract.\n\nID: 33668388\nTitle: Panax ginseng-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Facilitate Anti-Senescence Effects in Human Skin Cells: An Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Way to Use Ginseng Substances.\nAbstract: Ginseng is a traditional herbal medicine in eastern Asian countries. Most active constituents in ginseng are prepared via fermentation or organic acid pretreatment. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by most organisms from prokaryotes to eukaryotes and play central roles in intra- and inter-species communications. Plants produce EVs upon exposure to microbes; however, their direct functions and utility for human health are barely known, except for being proposed as delivery vehicles. In this study, we isolated EVs from ginseng roots (GrEVs) or the culture supernatants of ginseng cells (GcEVs) derived from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer and investigated their biological effects on human skin cells. GrEV or GcEV treatments improved the replicative senescent or senescence-associated pigmented phenotypes of human dermal fibroblasts or ultraviolet B radiation-treated human melanocytes, respectively, by downregulating senescence-associated molecules and/or melanogenesis-related proteins. Based on comprehensive lipidomic analysis using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, the lipidomic profile of GrEVs differed from that of the parental root extracts, showing significant increases in 70 of 188 identified lipid species and prominent increases in diacylglycerols, some phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, lysophosphatidylcholine), and sphingomyelin, revealing their unique vesicular properties. Therefore, our results imply that GEVs represent a novel type of bioactive and sustainable nanomaterials that can be applied to human tissues for improving tissue conditions and targeted delivery of active constituents.\n\nID: 31775862\nTitle: Ginseng-derived nanoparticles alter macrophage polarization to inhibit melanoma growth.\nAbstract: It is unclear whether plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) can mediate interspecies communication with mammalian cells. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) display a continuum of different polarization states between tumoricidal M1 phenotype and tumor-supportive M2 phenotypes, with a lower M1/M2 ratio correlating with tumor growth, angiogenesis and invasion. We investigated whether EVs from ginseng can alter M2-like polarization both in vitro and in vivo to promote cancer immunotherapy. A novel EVs-liked ginseng-derived nanoparticles (GDNPs) were isolated and characterized from Panax ginseng C. A. Mey. Using GDNPs as an immunopotentiator for altering M2 polarized macrophages, we analyzed associated surface markers, genes and cytokines of macrophages treated with GDNPs. Mice bearing B16F10 melanoma were treated with GDNPs therapy. Tumor growth were assessed, and TAM populations were evaluated by FACS and IF. GDNPs significantly promoted the polarization of M2 to M1 phenotype and produce total reactive oxygen species, resulting in increasing apoptosis of mouse melanoma cells. GDNP-induced M1 polarization was found to depend upon Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 and myeloid differentiation antigen 88 (MyD88)-mediated signaling. Moreover, ceramide lipids and proteins of GDNPs may play an important role in macrophage polarization via TLR4 activation. We found that GDNPs treatment significantly suppressed melanoma growth in tumor-bearing mice with increased presence of M1 macrophages detected in the tumor tissue. GDNPs can alter M2 polarization both in vitro and in vivo, which contributes to an antitumor response. The polarization of macrophages induced by GDNPs is largely dependent on TLR4 and MyD88 signalling. GDNPs as an immunomodulator participate in mammalian immune response and may represent a new class of nano-drugs in cancer immunotherapy.\n\nID: 41350681\nTitle: Extracellular vesicles derived from Kaempferia Galanga L. show promise for targeted oral therapy in the treatment of ulcerative colitis.\nAbstract: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterised by chronic intestinal inflammation and its global prevalence is increasing. Although a variety of drugs have been approved for the clinical treatment of UC, their application is often limited by unsatisfactory long-term effects, side effects, and high treatment costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of effective drugs with fewer side effects. In this study, we found that the extracellular vesicles extracted and purified from rhizomes of Kaempferia galanga L. (KGEVs) exhibit promising therapeutic effects in treating UC disease. With an average diameter of 133.8\u00a0nm, KGEVs are rich in functional components, including lipids, proteins, and pharmacologically and immunologically active molecules. In vivo experiments revealed that KGEVs accumulated in the colorectal region 6\u00a0h after oral administration, demonstrating targeted enrichment at the site of enteritis. Moreover, we found that KGEVs effectively alleviate DSS-induced colitis in mice, as indicated by reductions in body weight loss, DAI score, spleen index and colon length shortening. Mechanistically, KGEVs may alleviate colitis by repairing the intestinal barrier, inhibiting oxidative stress and colonic inflammation regulating gut microbiota and inhibiting the polarisation of macrophages into pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages during the inflammatory response, indicating significant anti-inflammatory effects. These results suggest the potential of KGEVs as a promising, cost-effective, and efficient oral therapeutic agents for UC treatment.\n\nID: 41220417\nTitle: Ginger-Derived Exosome-Like Nanoparticles: The Effect of Extraction Methods on Metabolites and in vitro Anti-Lung Cancer Activity.\nAbstract: In recent years, plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs) have attracted extensive attention. Among them, Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) represent the most extensively studied category, demonstrating a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities. However, their specific efficacy against lung cancer remains largely unexplored and warrants further investigation. The appropriate isolation of GELNs is fundamental to all related research, yet a systematic comparison of different extraction methods is currently lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the differences among GELNs extracted by various methods and to investigate their anti-lung cancer pharmacological activities. The study employed four common isolation methods-ultracentrifugation (UC), sucrose gradient UC (sgUC), membrane filtration, and polyethylene glycol-based precipitation (PEG-based precipitation) - to isolate GELNs. The GELNs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and zeta potential measurements. Stability was evaluated under various conditions, including saline, serum, and different storage temperatures. The compositional profiles of GELNs extracted by four methods were explored using non-targeted metabolomics. A549 cells and PC-9 cells were used to assess the cellular uptake and anti-lung cancer efficacy of the four GELNs types. Network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations were integrated to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying their anti-lung cancer effects. The four methods successfully isolated GELNs with distinct profiles: UC achieved the highest protein yield (1.630 \u00b1 0.022 g/kg), membrane filtration yielded the highest particle concentration (46.9 \u00b1 6.71\u00d7108 particles/mL) but the lowest protein yield (0.059 \u00b1 0.002 g/kg). Stability studies indicated that the highest stability of GELNs was observed for those isolated by UC and sgUC in both 0.9% and 10% NaCl. Furthermore, GELNs prepared by UC and membrane filtration showed excellent stability in serum. It was also demonstrated that -80\u00b0C provided the optimal storage condition for GELNs. Non-targeted metabolomics revealed the presence of 649 shared metabolites among the GELNs extracted by the four methods, along with method-specific unique metabolites. GELNs extracted by all four methods were internalized by both A549 and PC-9 cells. Among them, UC-isolated GELNs demonstrated the most potent anti-proliferative activity against the lung cancer cells. Through network pharmacology, 21 key targets of UC-isolated GELNs against lung cancer were identified. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations further verified that 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione from GELNs could stably bind to key targets, including Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3\u03b2 (GSK3B), Progesterone Receptor (PGR), and SRC Proto-Oncogene, Non-Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (SRC). This study demonstrates that although all four methods can isolate GELNs, UC is recommended for fundamental research due to its high protein yield, excellent stability, and potent in vitro anti-lung cancer activity. Furthermore, the anti-lung cancer activity of GELNs may be attributed to the regulation of GSK3B, PGR, and SRC by 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione.\n\nID: 39902066\nTitle: Ginger-Derived Exosome-Like Nanoparticles Loaded With Indocyanine Green Enhances Phototherapy Efficacy for Breast Cancer.\nAbstract: Phototherapy has remarkable advantages in cancer treatment, owing to its high efficiency and minimal invasiveness. Indocyanine green (ICG) plays an important role in photo-mediated therapy. However, it has several disadvantages such as poor stability in aqueous solutions, easy aggregation of molecules, and short plasma half-life. This study aimed to develop an efficient nanoplatform to enhance the effects of photo-mediated therapy. We developed a novel bio-nanoplatform by integrating edible ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDNPs) and the photosensitizer, ICG (GDNPs@ICG). GDNPs were isolated from ginger juice and loaded with ICG by co-incubation. The size distribution, zeta potential, morphology, total lipid content, and drug release behavior of the GDNPs@ICG were characterized. The photothermal performance, cellular uptake and distribution, cytotoxicity, anti-tumor effects, and mechanism of action of GDNPs@ICG were investigated both in vitro and in vivo. GDNPs@ICG were taken up by tumor cells via a lipid-dependent pathway. When irradiated by an 808 nm NIR laser, GDNPs@ICG generated high levels of ROS, MDA, and local hyperthermia within the tumor, which caused lipid peroxidation and ER stress, thus enhancing the photo-mediated breast tumor therapy effect. Furthermore, in vivo studies demonstrated that engineered GDNPs@ICG significantly inhibited breast tumor growth and presented limited toxicity. Moreover, by detecting the expression of CD31, N-cadherin, IL-6, IFN-\u03b3, CD8, p16, p21, and p53 in tumor tissues, we found that GDNPs@ICG substantially reduced angiogenesis, inhibited metastasis, activated the anti-tumor immune response, and promoted cell senescence in breast tumor. Our study demonstrated that the novel bio-nanoplatform GDNPs@ICG enhanced the photo-mediated therapeutic effect in breast tumor. GDNPs@ICG could be an alternative for precise and efficient anti-tumor phototherapy.\n\nID: 39737211\nTitle: Lipidomic analysis of plant-derived extracellular vesicles for guidance of potential anti-cancer therapy.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) have been regarded as a superior source for nanomedicine and drug delivery systems. Nevertheless, their clinical translation is hindered by the lack of clarity and even contradiction in their biomedical applications. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive compositional analysis of four commonly used PEVs to fully understand their functional lipid contents and assess their potential therapeutic applications. The lipidomic analysis revealed the presence of cytotoxic gingerols and shogaols in ginger-derived EVs (GEVs). Subsequent in vitro and in vivo investigations substantiated the remarkable tumor cell inhibitory and tumor growth suppression efficacy of GEVs. The transcriptomic analysis indicated that GEVs regulate the cell cycle and p53 signaling pathways, thereby inducing cancer cell apoptosis. The supplementary proteomic analysis suggested the potential protein markers in PEV research. These findings highlight the value of multi-omics analyses in elucidating the potential therapeutic effects of PEVs and in advancing the development of PEV-based therapies.\n\nID: 39716732\nTitle: Isolation and characterization of medicinal plant-based extracellular vesicles as nano delivery systems for ascorbic acid.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are natural nanovesicles for drug delivery. This study isolated and characterised EVs from medicinal plants as delivery vehicles. Precipitation method was employed for the isolation and characterised using DLS, SEM, and TEM. The encapsulation efficiency (EE) and antioxidant activity of ascorbic acid (AA)-EVs were evaluated. The total yields of lyophilised vesicles per weight of the sample were 6.0, 8.6 and 9.2\u2009mg/g for garlic, turmeric and ginger, respectively. Mean size of garlic-derived EVs, ginger-derived EVs, and turmeric-derived EVs were 101.0\u2009\u00b1\u20096.7, 226.4\u2009\u00b1\u200962.2 and 90.7\u2009\u00b1\u20092.5\u2009nm, respectively. The zeta potential of the EVs was between -33.2\u2009\u00b1\u200910.9 and -28.8\u2009\u00b1\u20098.43\u2009mV. Spherical morphology of the nanovesicles was confirmed by SEM and TEM. The EE of the EVs was between 78.1\u2009\u00b1\u20092.8% and 87.2\u2009\u00b1\u20091.4%. Overall, the antioxidant activity of AA-loaded EVs was better compared to free AA. This study provides evidence that these medicinal plants are rich sources for developing nanotherapeutics.\n\nID: 39257139\nTitle: Ginger-Derived Extracellular Vesicles: A Natural Solution for Alopecia.\nAbstract: Ginger (Zingiber officinale (L.) Rosc), as an edible plant-derived nanoparticle, offers several advantages, such as a high return rate, low budget, no ethical barriers, and good for health. Ginger-Derived Extracellular Vesicles (GDEVs) are nanoscale vesicles isolated from ginger. In this study, GDEVs were used to treat the alopecia mouse model, and its main active components and potential mechanism of action were investigated. The LC-MS/MS analysis of GDEVs revealed the presence of 1299 chemical compounds, among which auxiliary components were identified. Interestingly, the crux of the analysis lies in the discovery of 13 specific ingredients that play a pivotal role in hair proliferation. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of GDEVs on hair loss. These advantages make ginger-derived nanoparticles a promising solution to overcome technical limitations associated with mammalian nanoparticles. This study elucidates the mechanism of action of GDEVs in the treatment of alopecia. However, the active ingredients and mechanism of action of GDEVs in the treatment of hair loss are unknown. GDEVs were isolated from ginger using the differential centrifugal method. Network pharmacological analysis of the GDEVs revealed that the anti-hair loss effect of GDEVs on alopecia was closely linked to its ability to reduce inflammation and promote the proliferation of hair follicle stem cells. Subsequently, it was applied to the balding areas of hair-loss mice using a brush. The results demonstrated that the application of GDEVs led to a rapid recovery of the balding areas and promoted the growth of healthier hair. This experiment reported that GDEVs can effectively suppress the inflammatory activity in the alopecia model mice.\n\nID: 35077499\nTitle: Characterizing Kaempferia parviflora extracellular vesicles, a nanomedicine candidate.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a promising candidate for nanomedicine delivery due to their bioactive cargos, high biocompatibility to human cells, biodegradability, low cytotoxicity, and potential for large-scale production. However, the research on EVs derived from medicinal plants is very limited. In this study, Kaempferia parviflora extracellular vesicles (KPEVs) were isolated by differential and sucrose density gradient centrifugation, and their size, morphology, and surface charge were characterized using transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. The biological properties of KPEVs, including their bioactive compound composition, gastric uptake, cytotoxicity, acid tolerance, and storage stability, were also examined. In addition, KPEVs had an average and uniform size of 200-300 nm and a negative surface charge of 14.7 \u00b1 3.61 mV. Moreover, 5,7-dimethoxyflavone, the major bioactive compound of KP, was packaged into KPEVs. Meanwhile, KPEVs were resistant to gastric digestion and stably maintained at -20\u00b0C and -80\u00b0C for 8 weeks with no freeze-thaw cycle. The lipid hydrolysis during EVs storage at room temperature and 4\u00b0C were also demonstrated for the first time. Furthermore, the labeled KPEVs were internalized into adenocarcinoma gastric cells, and the cell viability was reduced in a dose-dependent manner, according to the results of the thiazolyl blue tetrazolium assay. Our study supports the potential application of KPEVs as a vehicle for anticancer or oral drugs.\n\nID: 31808269\nTitle: Phytochemical screening and cytotoxicity evaluation of crude extracts: Toxicity comparison of crude extracts and its ethosomal formulations.\nAbstract: Combined plant extracts of Phyllanthus niruri, Croton tiglium, and Zingiber officinale are reported to have potential pharmacological applications. Ethosomes have a unique ability of encapsulating drugs or plant extracts with varying hydrophobicities in the phospholipid bilayer. To explore cytotoxicity of the combined plant extracts and ethosome loaded combined plant extracts for topical delivery. To study effect of ethosomes loaded combined plant extracts using HaCaT cells model treated with testosterone. Dried powder of plant was extracted with ethanol using Soxhlet and cold macerations. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were also determined using established methods. The combined extract loaded ethosome formulation was prepared by solvent dispersion method. The plant extracts loaded ethosomes formulation with a vesicle size range 1524.6-167.7\u00a0nm was prepared. HaCaT cells treated with testosterone negative control showed an IC50 value of 27\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.0. Thw standard marketed topical minoxidil (1% solution) treated cells with testosterone showed an IC50 value 33\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.0 and the combined plant extracts loaded ethosomes with testosterone showed an IC50 value 30\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.0. Morphological alterations of rat skin exposed to the combined plant extract loaded ethosomes solution were assessed and compared with untreated skin and negative control. The preclinical safety was investigated employing an in vitro cytotoxicity and histopathological study. The cell line study results confirmed that the combined plant extracts loaded ethosomes inhibits testosterone and increase cell viability closer to that of standard drug minoxidil. According to our histopathological study, the combined plant extract loaded ethosomal formulations did not cause any damage to the rat skin layer.\n\nID: 11588908\nTitle: Effects of lycopene and Sho-saiko-to on hepatocarcinogenesis in a rat model of spontaneous liver cancer.\nAbstract: The Long-Evans Cinnamon (LEC) rat is a well-characterized model of spontaneous hepatocarcinogenesis. It has been shown that dietary administration of lycopene or the herbal medicine Sho-saiko-to (TJ-9) has anticarcinogenic activity, although the mechanism by which these products protect against carcinogenesis is not well known. We investigated the outcome of administration of lycopene and TJ-9 on the occurrence of hepatic neoplasia in LEC rats. A diet containing 0.005% lycopene (originally the product of tomato oleoresin containing 13% lycopene) and 1% TJ-9 (crude extracts of 7 herbs: bupleurum root, pinellia tuber, scutellaria root, jujube fruit, ginseng root, glycyrrhiza root, and ginger rhizome) was administered from 6 weeks of age until the rats were sacrificed at 76 weeks of age, at which time most of the nontreated animals were known to have hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Development of HCC in treated groups was analyzed histologically by comparison with untreated controls. Glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P) was analyzed by an immunohistochemical method. Concentration of copper, iron, and zinc, which appear to play a role in hepatocarcinogenesis in LEC rats, was analyzed. The percent areas of HCC in the liver specimens of control, lycopene, and TJ-9 groups were 17.9 +/- 17.1%, 27.2 +/- 20.8%, and 27.6 +/- 18.4%, respectively. These intergroup differences were not significant. The percent area, number of areas, and mean size of area staining positively for GST-P revealed no significant differences between the groups. The number of GST-P-positive areas within the HCC lesions was greater in the TJ-9 group than in the control or lycopene group (p = 0.024 and p = 0.012, respectively). The study also demonstrated a lower concentration of iron in livers of the lycopene group than the control group (p = 0.019). There were no differences in serum alpha-fetoprotein levels or the cumulative survival rates between the groups. In conclusion, long-term administration of lycopene or TJ-9 did not reduce the risk of hepatocarcinogenesis in LEC rats.\n\nID: 41155474\nTitle: Navigating the Effects of Anti-Atherosclerotic Supplements and Acknowledging Associated Bleeding Risks.\nAbstract: Several nutraceuticals demonstrate potential cardiovascular benefits through lipid-lowering, antithrombotic, and vascular protective mechanisms. Omega-3 fatty acids, berberine, garlic, and nattokinase exert favorable metabolic and vascular effects, yet their clinical efficacy depends on formulation, dosage, and patient characteristics and may be limited by bleeding risk or drug interactions. Antioxidant agents such as vitamin C, vitamin E, resveratrol, astaxanthin, and coenzyme Q provide additional vascular protection but can interfere with hemostasis, metabolism, or redox-sensitive pathways. Similarly, ginkgo biloba, ginger, ginseng, and curcumin exhibit anti-inflammatory vascular activity but also increase the risk of bleeding when combined with antithrombotic therapy. Given the variability in evidence and product quality, their use should be individualized, with further large-scale clinical trials needed to establish safety and efficacy.\n\nID: 40916157\nTitle: Novel Copper Superparticle-Based Bragg Scattering Coupling Luminescence Strategy for Detection of Ginseng Exosomal miRNA.\nAbstract: Ginseng exosomes are a kind of promising extracellular vesicle containing unique bioactive components. However, the investigation on ginseng-derived exosomes is still in the initial stage. This study developed a photonic crystal-based Bragg scattering coupling electrochemiluminescence (BSC-ECL) biosensor for detection of miRNA396a-3p in exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs) and ginseng exosomes (Gexos). First, copper nanoclusters were engineered into Cu superparticles with \u03c0-\u03c0 stacking of 2,6-dimethylbenzenethiol ligands via a ligand-mediated self-assembly strategy. The prepared Cu superparticles with significantly enhanced luminescence intensity and stability can be used as a nanoprobe. Furthermore, the Bragg scattering law was utilized to modulate the ECL intensity of the Cu superparticles. Due to the highly periodic structure of MIL-96-based photonic crystals, multiple scattering pathways in photonic crystals greatly increased the effective photon flux of Cu superparticles, thus creating a positive feedback loop between photon absorption and emission. Therefore, this cascade amplification mechanism ultimately led to significant BSC-ECL enhancement. The BSC-ECL provided a new quantitative analysis method for key miRNA detection in plant extracellular vesicles, which revealed distinct miRNA concentrations in GENs and Gexos. The method also demonstrated considerable potential in areas such as ginseng quality control, product development, and bioanalysis applications.\n\nID: 39740230\nTitle: The Cardioprotective Effect of Ginseng Derived Exosomes via Inhibition of Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis.\nAbstract: Ginsenosides possess potential protective effects against cisplatin (CDDP)-induced toxicity, but the limited bioavailability of ginsenosides hampered their therapeutic application. Ginseng exosomes (G-Exo), which are active ingredients in ginseng, exhibit excellent biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. Here, G-Exo were isolated from ginseng roots through a combination of ultracentrifugation and sucrose gradient centrifugation techniques. Subsequently, the potential protective effect of G-Exo on CDDP induced cardiotoxicity, and its underlying mechanisms were explored. The findings demonstrated that G-Exo effectively mitigated CDDP-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in vitro. Moreover, in vivo experiments revealed that G-Exo significantly inhibited the increases in serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT), creatine kinase (CK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in mice induced by CDDP. Histological assessment and tissue staining further corroborated that G-Exo alleviated the cardiac tissue damage and apoptosis caused by CDDP. Mechanistically, G-Exo were found to alleviate CDDP-induced apoptosis through blocking the MAPK signaling. Collectively, these results suggest that G-Exo hold the potential to mitigate cisplatin-induced cardiac injury by regulating the MAPK pathway, thereby highlighting the therapeutic potential of G-Exo as a protective agent against CDDP-induced cardiotoxicity.\n\nID: 37720571\nTitle: Amelioration of colitis progression by ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles through suppression of inflammatory cytokines.\nAbstract: Damage to the healthy intestinal epithelial layer and regulation of the intestinal immune system, closely interrelated, are considered pivotal parts of the curative treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Plant-based diets and phytochemicals can support the immune microenvironment in the intestinal epithelial barrier for a balanced immune system by improving the intestinal microecological balance and may have therapeutic potential in colitis. However, there have been only a few reports on the therapeutic potential of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PENs) and the underlying mechanism in colitis. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic effect of PENs from Panax ginseng, ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs), in a mouse model of IBD, with a focus on the intestinal immune microenvironment. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of GENs on acute colitis, we treated GENs in Caco2 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced RAW 264.7 macrophages and analyzed the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and IL-10 by real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Furthermore, we further examined bacterial DNA from feces and determined the alteration of gut microbiota composition in DSS-induced colitis mice after administration of GENs through 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. GENs with low toxicity showed a long-lasting intestinal retention effect for 48 h, which could lead to effective suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 production through inhibition of NF-\u03baB in DSS-induced colitis. As a result, it showed longer colon length and suppressed thickening of the colon wall in the mice treated with GENs. Due to the amelioration of the progression of DSS-induced colitis with GENs treatment, the prolonged survival rate was observed for 17 days compared to 9 days in the PBS-treated group. In the gut microbiota analysis, the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidota was decreased, which means GENs have therapeutic effectiveness against IBD. Ingesting GENs would be expected to slow colitis progression, strengthen the gut microbiota, and maintain gut homeostasis by preventing bacterial dysbiosis. GENs have a therapeutic effect on colitis through modulation of the intestinal microbiota and immune microenvironment. GENs not only ameliorate the inflammation in the damaged intestine by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines but also help balance the microbiota on the intestinal barrier and thereby improve the digestive system.\n\nID: 36714697\nTitle: Isolation of high-purity and high-stability exosomes from ginseng.\nAbstract: Exosomes are nano-sized extracellular vesicles that regulate cell growth and defense by delivering bioactive cellular constituents. They are a promising material for biomedical and cosmetic utilization, especially in medicinal crops such as ginseng. One main hurdle to their usage is the need for a method to isolate stable exosomes with high purity. In this study, we first tested two methods to isolate exosomes from ginseng: ultracentrifugation, the most widely used method; and the ExoQuick system, a polymer-based exosome precipitation approach. We also designed and tested a third method in which we combined ultracentrifugation and ExoQuick methods. Size distribution analysis revealed that the exosome isolation purity by the ultracentrifugation and ExoQuick methods alone were 34.1% and 59.7%, respectively, while the combination method greatly improved exosome isolation purity (83.3%). Furthermore, we found that the combination method also increases the colloidal stability of isolated ginseng exosomes, and the increase was almost double that of the ultracentrifugation method. Lastly, we showed that the combination method can also be used to isolate high-purity and high-stability exosomes from the model plant Arabidopsis. Overall, our findings indicate that the combination method is suitable to isolate high-purity and high-stability exosomes from plants including ginseng.\n\nID: 26887532\nTitle: A Critical Approach to Evaluating Clinical Efficacy, Adverse Events and Drug Interactions of Herbal Remedies.\nAbstract: Systematic reviews and meta-analyses represent the uppermost ladders in the hierarchy of evidence. Systematic reviews/meta-analyses suggest preliminary or satisfactory clinical evidence for agnus castus (Vitex agnus castus) for premenstrual complaints, flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) for hypertension, feverfew (Tanacetum partenium) for migraine prevention, ginger (Zingiber officinalis) for pregnancy-induced nausea, ginseng (Panax ginseng) for improving fasting glucose levels as well as phytoestrogens and St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) for the relief of some symptoms in menopause. However, firm conclusions of efficacy cannot be generally drawn. On the other hand, inconclusive evidence of efficacy or contradictory results have been reported for Aloe vera in the treatment of psoriasis, cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) in cystitis prevention, ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) for tinnitus and intermittent claudication, echinacea (Echinacea spp.) for the prevention of common cold and pomegranate (Punica granatum) for the prevention/treatment of cardiovascular diseases. A critical evaluation of the clinical data regarding the adverse effects has shown that herbal remedies are generally better tolerated than synthetic medications. Nevertheless, potentially serious adverse events, including herb-drug interactions, have been described. This suggests the need to be vigilant when using herbal remedies, particularly in specific conditions, such as during pregnancy and in the paediatric population.

Among them, Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) represent the most extensively studied category, demonstrating a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities. However, their specific efficacy against lung cancer remains largely unexplored and warrants further investigation. The appropriate isolation of GELNs is fundamental to all related research, yet a systematic comparison of different extraction methods is currently lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the differences among GELNs extracted by various methods and to investigate their anti-lung cancer pharmacological activities. The study employed four common isolation methods-ultracentrifugation (UC), sucrose gradient UC (sgUC), membrane filtration, and polyethylene glycol-based precipitation (PEG-based precipitation) - to isolate GELNs. The GELNs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and zeta potential measurements. Stability was evaluated under various conditions, including saline, serum, and different storage temperatures. The compositional profiles of GELNs extracted by four methods were explored using non-targeted metabolomics. A549 cells and PC-9 cells were used to assess the cellular uptake and anti-lung cancer efficacy of the four GELNs types. Network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations were integrated to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying their anti-lung cancer effects. The four methods successfully isolated GELNs with distinct profiles: UC achieved the highest protein yield (1.630 \u00b1 0.022 g/kg), membrane filtration yielded the highest particle concentration (46.9 \u00b1 6.71\u00d7108 particles/mL) but the lowest protein yield (0.059 \u00b1 0.002 g/kg). Stability studies indicated that the highest stability of GELNs was observed for those isolated by UC and sgUC in both 0.9% and 10% NaCl. Furthermore, GELNs prepared by UC and membrane filtration showed excellent stability in serum. It was also demonstrated that -80\u00b0C provided the optimal storage condition for GELNs. Non-targeted metabolomics revealed the presence of 649 shared metabolites among the GELNs extracted by the four methods, along with method-specific unique metabolites. GELNs extracted by all four methods were internalized by both A549 and PC-9 cells. Among them, UC-isolated GELNs demonstrated the most potent anti-proliferative activity against the lung cancer cells. Through network pharmacology, 21 key targets of UC-isolated GELNs against lung cancer were identified. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations further verified that 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione from GELNs could stably bind to key targets, including Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3\u03b2 (GSK3B), Progesterone Receptor (PGR), and SRC Proto-Oncogene, Non-Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (SRC). This study demonstrates that although all four methods can isolate GELNs, UC is recommended for fundamental research due to its high protein yield, excellent stability, and potent in vitro anti-lung cancer activity. Furthermore, the anti-lung cancer activity of GELNs may be attributed to the regulation of GSK3B, PGR, and SRC by 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 41220417 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 41469236 for the quote: \"Grape-derived EVs (Gra-EVs) were found to have superior efficacy in oral delivery of insulin to T1D rats compared to ginger-derived EVs (Gin-EVs) and milk-derived EVs (Mi-EVs).\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Despite the development of extracellular vesicles (EVs) for drug delivery, there has been limited exploration into edible-product-derived EVs (EP-EVs), particularly those derived from plants as carriers to enhance the oral delivery of biomacromolecules. Here, we evaluated the potential of EP-EVs and highlighted their promising application and underlying mechanisms as orally delivered carriers from plant-derived EVs. Grape-derived EVs (Gra-EVs) were found to have superior efficacy in oral delivery of insulin to T1D rats compared to ginger-derived EVs (Gin-EVs) and milk-derived EVs (Mi-EVs), attributed to their enhanced endocytosis, secretion pathways, and more efficient transcytosis across epithelia. The capacity of Gra-EVs to regulate epithelial proteins associated with cytoskeletal organization, secretion, and recycling-related transport facilitated a robust positive feedback loop known as the self-amplifying feedback loop, thereby enhancing intestinal absorption. Notably, phosphatidic acid (PA), the phospholipid abundant in plant-derived EVs, was proved to augment the transcytosis through MAPK/ERK1/2 signaling pathway activation. Thus, edible plant-derived EVs, especially Gra-EVs, exploited the self-amplifying feedback loop and phosphatidic acid for improved oral delivery of biomacromolecules.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 41469236 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 40097886 for the quote: \"Mechanistically, Gin-EVs counteracted mitochondrial dysfunction by restoring mitochondrial dynamics imbalance characterized by enhanced fusion and reduced fission events while promoting mitochondrial biogenesis.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

It remained unknown and needs to be further verified that whether the vesicles has therapeutic potential to alleviate the progression of liver fibrosis. Moreover, the relevant mechanisms need to be further studied. Herein, we provide evidence that Gin-EVs effectively interact with human hepatic stellate cells (LX-2), offering protection against carbon tetrachloride (CCL4) or lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced liver fibrosis. The treatment with Gin-EVs was observed to mitigate fibrosis and enhance cell viability in LX-2 cells exposed to CCL4 or LPS. Mechanistically, Gin-EVs counteracted mitochondrial dysfunction by restoring mitochondrial dynamics imbalance characterized by enhanced fusion and reduced fission events while promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, thereby potentially preventing fibrotic processes in LX-2 cells. Collectively, the findings highlight the direct cytoprotective effects of Gin-EVs on LX-2 cells and suggest their promising role as a therapeutic option for hepatic fibrosis.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 40097886 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 41703861 for the quote: \"Molecular docking showed DG (32:2) binding strongly to fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) (-8.00 \u00b1 0.17 kcal/mol) and PG (23:2) variants preferring autotaxin (ATX).\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

However, a question is whether geographical variation of plant alters the lipid composition of PELNs to impact immune cells. To investigate this, geographical variation in ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) was leveraged as a natural lipid library. The first step was to determine whether geographical variation triggered biosynthetic divergence in GELNs lipids. Our approach combined lipidomic profiling, functional assays, and computational simulations to identify lipids that govern B-cell internalization and to elucidate their underlying mechanisms. Among 1202 lipids, 88 were differentially abundant (VIP >1.2, p < 0.05), and 36 correlated with internalization (|\u03c1| > 0.65, p < 0.05). Molecular docking showed DG (32:2) binding strongly to fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) (-8.00 \u00b1 0.17 kcal/mol) and PG (23:2) variants preferring autotaxin (ATX) (-6.97 to -7.43 kcal/mol), with both exceeding their affinity for bovine serum albumin, indicating a protein corona-independent mechanism. Molecular dynamics simulations validated the specificity predicted by docking, confirming that DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) form more stable complexes with FAAH and ATX, respectively. These data demonstrated a structure-activity relationship in which the promotion and inhibition of B-cell internalization are mediated by the key lipids DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) engaging FAAH and ATX through stereospecific interactions, respectively. This work establishes a phenotype-driven pipeline that bridges botanical diversity with precision nutrition, providing a source of functional dietary lipids, a mechanistic basis for their immunomodulatory effects, and a robust tool for quality evaluation.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 41703861 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 33668388 for the quote: \"GrEV or GcEV treatments improved the replicative senescent or senescence-associated pigmented phenotypes of human dermal fibroblasts or ultraviolet B radiation-treated human melanocytes.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Most active constituents in ginseng are prepared via fermentation or organic acid pretreatment. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by most organisms from prokaryotes to eukaryotes and play central roles in intra- and inter-species communications. Plants produce EVs upon exposure to microbes; however, their direct functions and utility for human health are barely known, except for being proposed as delivery vehicles. In this study, we isolated EVs from ginseng roots (GrEVs) or the culture supernatants of ginseng cells (GcEVs) derived from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer and investigated their biological effects on human skin cells. GrEV or GcEV treatments improved the replicative senescent or senescence-associated pigmented phenotypes of human dermal fibroblasts or ultraviolet B radiation-treated human melanocytes, respectively, by downregulating senescence-associated molecules and/or melanogenesis-related proteins. Based on comprehensive lipidomic analysis using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, the lipidomic profile of GrEVs differed from that of the parental root extracts, showing significant increases in 70 of 188 identified lipid species and prominent increases in diacylglycerols, some phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, lysophosphatidylcholine), and sphingomyelin, revealing their unique vesicular properties. Therefore, our results imply that GEVs represent a novel type of bioactive and sustainable nanomaterials that can be applied to human tissues for improving tissue conditions and targeted delivery of active constituents.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 33668388 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein.\" (Source: 42548959)\n- \"Notably, both GDNPs and GA could exert synergistic therapeutic effects with Cel.\" (Source: 42567375)\n- \"GDEVs were stable against gastric digestion and were efficiently taken up by intestinal cells, supporting their oral availability.\" (Source: 41674725)\n- \"The transcriptomic analysis indicated that GEVs regulate the cell cycle and p53 signaling pathways, thereby inducing cancer cell apoptosis.\" (Source: 39737211)\n- \"Among these, extracellular vesicles derived from Panax notoginseng (NotoEV, vesicle population) exhibited the strongest neuroprotective effects under hypoxic conditions in vitro and in vivo stroke models.\" (Source: 41688997)\n- \"Interestingly, the crux of the analysis lies in the discovery of 13 specific ingredients that play a pivotal role in hair proliferation.\" (Source: 39257139)\n- \"The introduction of G-EVLPs can enhance the phagocytosis of autologous tumor antigens by dendritic cells (DCs) and facilitate DCs maturation through TLR4, ultimately activating tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs).\" (Source: 38353384)\n- \"Ginger EVs show strong colon and macrophage targeting, as well as robust resistance to acidic degradation in the stomach.\" (Source: 39303016)\n- \"By conjugating GDEVs with folic acid (FA), we have developed FA-GDEVs that maintain their inherent immunomodulatory properties.\" (Source: 39849554)\n- \"Both GE and GE-gel stopped lipopolysaccharide from causing pro-inflammatory M1 polarization of microglia and increased anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypic change.\" (Source: 42534522)\n- \"GDNP-induced M1 polarization was found to depend upon Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 and myeloid differentiation antigen 88 (MyD88)-mediated signaling.\" (Source: 31775862)\n- \"Mean size of garlic-derived EVs, ginger-derived EVs, and turmeric-derived EVs were 101.0 \u00b1 6.7, 226.4 \u00b1 62.2 and 90.7 \u00b1 2.5 nm, respectively.\" (Source: 39716732)\n- \"Unlike conventional extracts of herbal medicine, which lose critical compounds during drying or alcohol-based processing, PDEs derived from fresh plant tissues preserve native phytochemical integrity and enhance bioactivity.\" (Source: 40714420)\n- \"Ginger-derived sEVs were identified as the most effective, significantly reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), increasing the anti-inflammatory cytokine (interleukin-10), and suppressing ROS production.\" (Source: 40414583)\n- \"GEXO demonstrated superior blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration through clathrin-, caveolin- and macropinocytosis-mediated transcytosis, followed by tumor-specific accumulation via exocytosis.\" (Source: 41277808)\n\n\nINSTRUCTION: Study the actual abstracts provided.

While both are utilized for drug delivery, they exhibit distinct source-specific bioactive payloads (gingerols/shogaols in ginger vs. ginsenosides in ginseng) and tailored therapeutic applications.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nBoth ginger-derived extracellular vesicles and ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles represent a novel class of phytotherapeutic delivery systems characterized by their ability to facilitate cross-kingdom communication. Ginger EVs show strong colon and macrophage targeting, as well as robust resistance to acidic degradation in the stomach. Similarly, ginseng-derived exosomes exhibit excellent biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. Mechanistic studies highlight their shared ability to modulate immune microenvironments; notably, both GE and GE-gel stopped lipopolysaccharide from causing pro-inflammatory M1 polarization of microglia and increased anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypic change. Despite these similarities, their chemical composition reflects their parent plants, with ginger-derived vesicles containing cytotoxic gingerols and shogaols, and ginseng-derived vesicles containing active ginsenoside constituents such as Gn-Rh2. Unlike conventional extracts of herbal medicine, which lose critical compounds during drying or alcohol-based processing, PDEs derived from fresh plant tissues preserve native phytochemical integrity and enhance bioactivity. The application of these vesicles is expanding into oncology, where the transcriptomic analysis indicated that GEVs regulate the cell cycle and p53 signaling pathways, thereby inducing cancer cell apoptosis.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) represent a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to mammalian EVs, avoiding ethical concerns and production bottlenecks.\n*   Geographical variation in ginger sources alters the lipid composition of GELNs, creating a natural library of lipids that influence B-cell internalization via specific protein interactions.\n*   Boiling ginger extracellular vesicles (T-GEVs) structurally reconfigures them, enriching their surface architecture with vesicle trafficking regulators like ARF1 and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein to enhance intestinal targeting.\n*   Ginseng-derived exosomes facilitate cross-kingdom miRNA delivery, which can reprogram neuronal stress responses and preserve mitochondrial stabilization after ischemic injury.\n*   Biomimetic fusion of ginger exosomes with tumor cell membranes allows for a hybrid vaccine approach, enhancing dendritic cell maturation via TLR4 signaling.\n*   Ginger EVs act as an effective oral therapeutic agent for ulcerative colitis by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines through the inhibition of the NF-\u03baB pathway.\n*   Ginsenosides, which often face limited oral bioavailability, are effectively shielded or delivered by ginseng-derived nanovesicles, enhancing their therapeutic concentration.\n*   The use of 3D bioreactor systems has enabled the massive, scalable production of plant-derived and ginseng-loaded vesicles, overcoming previous extraction limitations.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

While surface engineering can enhance tissue accumulation, strategies that preserve biocompatibility and enable scalable production remain limited. Here, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs). The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein. This specific composition drives their tissue-specific accumulation in the intestine and liver and potentiates clathrin-dependent cellular uptake in intestinal cells by 8.57-fold. Beyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform. When loaded with tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) small interfering RNA, they enable a synergistic therapy that combines innate anti-inflammatory activity with targeted gene silencing of TNF-\u03b1, showing potent efficacy in colitis.

However, a question is whether geographical variation of plant alters the lipid composition of PELNs to impact immune cells. To investigate this, geographical variation in ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) was leveraged as a natural lipid library. The first step was to determine whether geographical variation triggered biosynthetic divergence in GELNs lipids. Our approach combined lipidomic profiling, functional assays, and computational simulations to identify lipids that govern B-cell internalization and to elucidate their underlying mechanisms. Among 1202 lipids, 88 were differentially abundant (VIP >1.2, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05), and 36 correlated with internalization (|\u03c1|\u00a0>\u00a00.65, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Molecular docking showed DG (32:2) binding strongly to fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) (-8.00\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.17\u00a0kcal/mol) and PG (23:2) variants preferring autotaxin (ATX) (-6.97 to -7.43\u00a0kcal/mol), with both exceeding their affinity for bovine serum albumin, indicating a protein corona-independent mechanism. Molecular dynamics simulations validated the specificity predicted by docking, confirming that DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) form more stable complexes with FAAH and ATX, respectively. These data demonstrated a structure-activity relationship in which the promotion and inhibition of B-cell internalization are mediated by the key lipids DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) engaging FAAH and ATX through stereospecific interactions, respectively. This work establishes a phenotype-driven pipeline that bridges botanical diversity with precision nutrition, providing a source of functional dietary lipids, a mechanistic basis for their immunomodulatory effects, and a robust tool for quality evaluation."

The drug substance (i.e., spray-dried powder from hot-water extracts of crude drugs) of the Kampo medicine Ninjin'yoeito was suspended in distilled water and fractionated by size exclusion chromatography to isolate nano-sized particles. Nanoparticle tracking analysis and electron microscopy confirmed the particle size distribution and morphology of the product, confirming the presence of exosome-like nanoparticles in the Kampo medicine preparation. Nanoparticle measurements and electron microscopy revealed vesicle-like structures consistent with the known characteristics of exosomes, and proteomic analysis supported their biochemical identity. Lectin array profiling revealed the abundance of high-mannose N-glycans on their surface. These nanoparticles were internalized by cells, and miRNA analysis indicated the presence of multiple miRNA types within the nanoparticles. This is the first report demonstrating the presence and characteristics of exosome-like nanoparticles in Kampo medicines. Although most active components of Kampo medicines have traditionally been considered small molecules, our findings suggest that extracellular vesicles can also serve as potential bioactive components."

The gut-heart axis and exosomal crosstalk hold therapeutic promise for cardioprotection, yet the fundamental question of which specific gut cells release the beneficial exosomes is unanswered. This study aimed to elucidate whether ginseng polysaccharides WGPA exert remote cardiac protection by regulating intestinal immune homeostasis, specifically through promoting the release of exosomes from regulatory T cells (Tregs). Using integrated in vivo and in vitro models, we evaluated the protective effects of WGPA against MIRI. The results demonstrated that WGPA pretreatment significantly attenuated myocardial injury and improved cardiac function. Mechanistically, WGPA selectively activated intestinal Tregs and enhanced the release of HSP70-enriched exosomes. These exosomes entered systemic circulation and were delivered to the heart, where surface HSP70 interacted with TLR4 on cardiomyocytes, activating downstream protective signaling pathways and ultimately suppressing cardiomyocyte death and inflammatory responses. Our study reveals for the first time a complete mechanism by which medicinal plant polysaccharides confer cross-organ cardioprotection via the \"intestinal Tregs-exosome-heart\" axis, providing a novel theoretical basis and a potential intervention strategy for the prevention and treatment of MIRI."

Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) play a crucial role in modulating intestinal inflammation. Moreover, GELNs contain highly heterogeneous miRNA. However, the role of miRNAs derived from GELNs in immunomodulation remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular basis of the unique biological effects mediated by miRNA derived from GELNs on macrophages. GELNs were isolated using a combination of commercial exosome isolation kits and the differential centrifugation method, and the lipid composition of GELNs was determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Subsequently, PKH26 labelled GELNs were taken up by macrophages. Furthermore, the modulation of inflammatory and immune responses by GELNs or osa-miR164d was assessed through the RNA-seq, RT-qPCR, online databases, and dual luciferase reporter assays to explore the underlying mechanisms of osa-miR164d. Biomimetic exosomes loaded with osa-miR164d were prepared using a microfluidic mixing device and systematically characterized. The therapeutic effects of osa-miR164d on relieving colitis were evaluated. We report for the first time that GELNs-derived osa-miR164d is a regulatory factor of reprogramming macrophage polarization, thereby inhibiting the intestinal inflammatory response. Mechanistically, osa-miR164d directly targets the 3'-UTRs of TAB1, which regulates macrophage polarization through the downregulation of NF-\u03baB expression. In addition, We have designed a biomimetic exosome mimicking GELNs to deliver osa-miR164d (osa-miR164d-MGELNs). Notably, the osa-miR164d-MGELNs can efficiently reprogram macrophages to alleviate colitis-related symptoms. Our findings enhance the systematic understanding of how GELNs-derived osa-miR164d mediates cross-kingdom communication and provide an original engineering paradigm for mimicking GELNs to transfer miRNA."

Among them, Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) represent the most extensively studied category, demonstrating a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities. However, their specific efficacy against lung cancer remains largely unexplored and warrants further investigation. The appropriate isolation of GELNs is fundamental to all related research, yet a systematic comparison of different extraction methods is currently lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the differences among GELNs extracted by various methods and to investigate their anti-lung cancer pharmacological activities. The study employed four common isolation methods-ultracentrifugation (UC), sucrose gradient UC (sgUC), membrane filtration, and polyethylene glycol-based precipitation (PEG-based precipitation) - to isolate GELNs. The GELNs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and zeta potential measurements. Stability was evaluated under various conditions, including saline, serum, and different storage temperatures. The compositional profiles of GELNs extracted by four methods were explored using non-targeted metabolomics. A549 cells and PC-9 cells were used to assess the cellular uptake and anti-lung cancer efficacy of the four GELNs types. Network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations were integrated to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying their anti-lung cancer effects. The four methods successfully isolated GELNs with distinct profiles: UC achieved the highest protein yield (1.630 \u00b1 0.022 g/kg), membrane filtration yielded the highest particle concentration (46.9 \u00b1 6.71\u00d7108 particles/mL) but the lowest protein yield (0.059 \u00b1 0.002 g/kg). Stability studies indicated that the highest stability of GELNs was observed for those isolated by UC and sgUC in both 0.9% and 10% NaCl. Furthermore, GELNs prepared by UC and membrane filtration showed excellent stability in serum. It was also demonstrated that -80\u00b0C provided the optimal storage condition for GELNs. Non-targeted metabolomics revealed the presence of 649 shared metabolites among the GELNs extracted by the four methods, along with method-specific unique metabolites. GELNs extracted by all four methods were internalized by both A549 and PC-9 cells. Among them, UC-isolated GELNs demonstrated the most potent anti-proliferative activity against the lung cancer cells. Through network pharmacology, 21 key targets of UC-isolated GELNs against lung cancer were identified. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations further verified that 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione from GELNs could stably bind to key targets, including Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3\u03b2 (GSK3B), Progesterone Receptor (PGR), and SRC Proto-Oncogene, Non-Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (SRC). This study demonstrates that although all four methods can isolate GELNs, UC is recommended for fundamental research due to its high protein yield, excellent stability, and potent in vitro anti-lung cancer activity. Furthermore, the anti-lung cancer activity of GELNs may be attributed to the regulation of GSK3B, PGR, and SRC by 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione."

Among the therapeutic agents investigated to modulate macrophage-driven inflammation, compounds extracted from the roots of Panax ginseng have been distinguished for their potent anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, attention has shifted toward ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDEs) because of their ability to encapsulate diverse bioactive compounds with high stability and biocompatibility. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of GDEs against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic shock, with a particular focus on macrophage-mediated mechanisms. GDEs isolated from Korean Panax ginseng exhibited a spherical morphology, high stability, and effective encapsulation of bioactive ginsenosides, including Rb1, Rg1, and Rg3. GDEs significantly attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages by reducing toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) glycosylation, thereby inhibiting LPS binding. This suppression of TLR4 glycosylation led to decreased production of nitric oxide and proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1\u03b2, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), as well as inhibition of intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation and NF-\u03baB activation. Furthermore, GDE treatment markedly improved survival and alleviated lung, liver, and spleen damage in an LPS-induced sepsis mouse model. In summary, these findings suggest that GDEs represent a promising nanomedicine strategy for sepsis prevention, offering targeted modulation of macrophage activity without apparent adverse effects."

PGEs were isolated using a tangential flow filtration system, yielding particles with an average diameter of 159.5\u00a0nm and a concentration of 3.9\u2009\u00d7\u20091012 particles/mL. In 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, PGE treatment resulted in a 72.1% reduction in lipid accumulation, as demonstrated by Oil Red O staining, indicating significant inhibition of adipogenic differentiation. Elevated expression of surface markers TET-8 (147.2%) verified the exosomal nature of the isolated vesicles. To determine their role in adipocyte differentiation, we analyzed gene and protein expression of key adipogenic markers-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-\u03b3), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha and beta, and fatty acid-binding protein 4-revealing reductions of 23.6-35.6% and 26.7-35.2%, respectively. These results indicate downregulation of transcriptional and translational pathways driving adipogenesis. Lipogenic regulators, including sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthase, were also suppressed by 24.9-41.0% (gene) and 22.8-24.5% (protein), indicating impaired fatty acid synthesis. Conversely, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) expression increased by up to 53.8% (gene) and 47.9% (protein), implying activation of energy homeostasis signaling. Immunofluorescence analysis showed a reduction in the MitoTracker/DAPI ratio (57.7-60.0%) and an increase in the F-actin/DAPI ratio (39.5-60.8%), indicating decreased mitochondrial activity and enhanced cytoskeletal integrity. These molecular changes were accompanied by AMPK activation and PPAR-\u03b3 inhibition. Collectively, these findings underscore the potential of PGEs as bioactive agents for obesity management by concurrently inhibiting adipogenesis and lipogenesis, providing a strong basis for their application in anti-obesity functional foods and pharmaceutical products."

Exosomes from Panax notoginseng were isolated using differential centrifugation combined with sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The morphology of the exosomes was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), while size distribution and concentration were determined via nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). rBMSCs were isolated and identified by flow cytometry, and the uptake of fluorescently labeled Panax notoginseng exosomes by rBMSCs was confirmed using confocal microscopy. The optimal concentration of exosomes was determined using the CCK-8 assay. Osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by measuring alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, performing ALP staining, and conducting Alizarin Red S staining.

The ideal treatment for periodontitis involves three key steps: antibacterial treatment, inflammation control, and periodontal regeneration, ultimately leading to the complete restoration of alveolar bone and the full recovery of periodontal function. However, current periodontitis treatments cannot comprehensively solve these issues. In this study, a ginseng-derived exosomes (GEXs)-loaded injectable hydrogel (GEXs@Gel) was designed. GEXs@Gel was thermosensitive with good fluidity, capable of conforming to the intricate contours of periodontal pockets, while withstanding the persistent wash of gingival crevicular fluid. In vitro studies showed that GEXs and GEXs@Gel can inhibit the growth of periodontal pathogenic bacteria, effectively remove biofilms, promote the polarization of macrophages to the anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype, and alleviate cellular oxidative stress. In particular, GEXs@Gel had the functions of promoting bone/angiogenesis and regeneration. In vivo studies showed that GEXs@Gel effectively inhibited inflammation, promoted alveolar bone regeneration, and effectively reversed periodontitis.

This study presents a novel approach: integrating atorvastatin (ATOR)-loaded, ginger-derived exosomes (G-EX) into contact lenses to achieve sustained release and enhanced ocular penetration. Exosomes were isolated from ginger using polymer precipitation, characterised (average size \u2248 50.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04.3\u00a0nm; zeta potential\u00a0=\u00a0-23.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.2\u00a0mV), and efficiently loaded with ATOR (70\u00a0%). The ATOR@G-EX formulation was incorporated into contact lenses. Scanning electron and fluorescence microscopy confirmed uniform loading without altering lens structure. The lenses retained key properties, including high optical transmittance (96\u00a0%) and folding endurance (320 folds), supporting functional integrity and biocompatibility. In vitro assays showed controlled ATOR release (67\u00a0% in 2\u00a0h, gradual up to 48\u00a0h), following the Korsmeyer-Peppas model. Ex vivo, ATOR@G-EX lens markedly enhanced transcorneal permeation versus ATOR lens. In vitro cellular studies revealed higher fibroblast viability, faster migration, and 3-4-fold uptake improvement. HET-CAM confirmed minimal ocular irritation. In vivo, ATOR@G-EX lens produced the most pronounced and sustained IOP reduction in the steroid-induced glaucoma rabbit model, with a strong in vitro-in vivo correlation between permeation and efficacy.

Histology confirmed retinal neuroprotection and tissue recovery. In conclusion, this bioinspired ATOR@G-EX-loaded contact lenses show high safety, functionality, and compliance potential, providing a promising platform for patient-friendly ocular therapeutics and future clinical translation."

Chronic neuroinflammation drives progressive retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss independent of intraocular pressure, yet safe, sustained and precise neuroprotective modulation of the retinal inflammatory microenvironment remains a significant challenge. We developed an injectable fibrin gel delivery system loaded with ginseng-derived exosomes (GE-fibrin gel, GE-gel) to modulate microglial polarization, reduce retinal inflammation and promote RGC survival. In vitro, GE showed strong antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects by getting rid of reactive oxygen species caused by oxidative stress and lowering apoptosis in R28 cells. Both GE and GE-gel stopped lipopolysaccharide from causing pro-inflammatory M1 polarization of microglia and increased anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypic change. Intravitreal injection of GE-gel suppressed pro-inflammatory microglial activation, diminished neuroinflammation and improved the survival of RGCs in a chronic ocular hypertension rat model. These results show that GE-gel could promote microglial polarization, change the immune environment in the retina and protect RGCs functionally over the long term.

Despite the availability of conventional treatments, they are often marred by significant side effects and the associated high costs. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) offer a compelling alternative, owing to their abundant availability, affordability, low immunogenicity, high biocompatibility, and feasibility for large-scale production. These vesicles enhance intercellular communication by transferring intrinsic bioactive molecules. In our research, we delve into the capacity of PEVs to treat RA, highlighting the role of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEVs). By conjugating GDEVs with folic acid (FA), we have developed FA-GDEVs that maintain their inherent immunomodulatory properties. FA-GDEVs are designed to selectively target M1 macrophages in inflamed joints via the folate receptors (FRs). Our in vitro findings indicate that FA-GDEVs promote the polarization towards a reparative M2 macrophage phenotype by modulating the PI3K-AKT pathway. Further corroboration comes from in vivo studies, which demonstrate that FA-GDEVs not only concentrate efficiently in the affected joints but also markedly reduce the manifestations of RA. Synthesizing these findings, it is evident that FA-GDEVs emerge as a hopeful candidate for RA treatment, offering benefits such as safety, affordability, and therapeutic efficacy."

Conventional therapies are limited, and often lead to high recurrence rates. The emerging concept of medicinal food homology has shed light on the potential of ginger as a therapeutic adjuvant for periodontitis, given its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, fresh ginger exhibits poor stability and bioavailability. Ginger exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs), a derivative of ginger, have not been reported to exert therapeutic effects in periodontitis. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic effects of GELNs on tissue damage caused by periodontitis and their underlying mechanisms of action. The GELNs composition was analyzed using a widely targeted metabolome. Stability was assessed using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and zeta potential measurements, flavor was evaluated using an electronic nose, and membrane penetration was studied using confocal microscopy. A periodontitis model was established in SD rats, periodontal clinical indicators were monitored, and histological changes were assessed using H&E and TRAP staining. Co-culture experiments investigate the antioxidant and reparative abilities of GELNs on periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLFs) in inflammatory environment. NF-\u03baB protein expression was examined by immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry. The findings revealed that GELNs demonstrated good stability in different environments and mitigated the pungent taste of the raw ginger. In vivo experiments showed that GELNs improved periodontal clinical parameters and pathology compared with ginger juice. In vitro data suggested that GELNs enhanced the proliferation and migration of PDLFs while reducing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by inhibiting the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway in an inflammatory setting. This study is the first to demonstrate that GELNs have a potential therapeutic effect on periodontitis. GELNs can alleviate oxidative stress (OS) and inflammatory reactions by inhibiting the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. These findings provide a promising method for the treatment of periodontitis by regulating an unbalanced OS state."

Plant-based diets and phytochemicals can support the immune microenvironment in the intestinal epithelial barrier for a balanced immune system by improving the intestinal microecological balance and may have therapeutic potential in colitis. However, there have been only a few reports on the therapeutic potential of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PENs) and the underlying mechanism in colitis. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic effect of PENs from Panax ginseng, ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs), in a mouse model of IBD, with a focus on the intestinal immune microenvironment. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of GENs on acute colitis, we treated GENs in Caco2 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced RAW 264.7 macrophages and analyzed the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and IL-10 by real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Furthermore, we further examined bacterial DNA from feces and determined the alteration of gut microbiota composition in DSS-induced colitis mice after administration of GENs through 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. GENs with low toxicity showed a long-lasting intestinal retention effect for 48 h, which could lead to effective suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 production through inhibition of NF-\u03baB in DSS-induced colitis. As a result, it showed longer colon length and suppressed thickening of the colon wall in the mice treated with GENs. Due to the amelioration of the progression of DSS-induced colitis with GENs treatment, the prolonged survival rate was observed for 17 days compared to 9 days in the PBS-treated group. In the gut microbiota analysis, the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidota was decreased, which means GENs have therapeutic effectiveness against IBD. Ingesting GENs would be expected to slow colitis progression, strengthen the gut microbiota, and maintain gut homeostasis by preventing bacterial dysbiosis. GENs have a therapeutic effect on colitis through modulation of the intestinal microbiota and immune microenvironment. GENs not only ameliorate the inflammation in the damaged intestine by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines but also help balance the microbiota on the intestinal barrier and thereby improve the digestive system."

Interestingly, the hepatic-targeting of RAL allowed GR-Exos to penetrate the liver more effectively than G-Exos, resulting in 2.39-fold greater accumulation in the liver. In vivo experiments revealed that dual ROS depletion by berberine and GR-Exos synergistically enhanced the therapeutic effect against inhibited oxidative stress and hepatocellular steatosis compared to GR-Exos. Additionally, the macrophage-targeting capability of G-Exos is leveraged to suppress the activation of hepatic NLRP3 inflammasome complexes, transitioning from an M1 pro-inflammatory to an M2 anti-inflammatory state, which helped diminish hepatic macrophage levels and subsequently reduce lipid accumulation.

Ginger vesicles frequently show potent modulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and are highly utilized for targeting gut-related pathologies. Conversely, ginseng vesicles are prominently associated with systemic immunomodulatory effects, osteogenic differentiation, and neuroprotection.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThis assessment synthesizes evidence regarding plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) from ginger (*Zingiber officinale*) and ginseng (*Panax ginseng*). Both serve as biocompatible nanocarriers, yet their therapeutic utility varies based on source-specific biochemical cargo and specialized engineering for tissue-specific delivery.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nGinger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) are widely documented for their ability to cross biological barriers and mitigate inflammatory responses. Research confirms that GELNs modulate the NLRP3 inflammasome by blocking its assembly, specifically noting that the lipid components, rather than proteins or RNAs, mediate this inhibitory effect. Furthermore, GELNs are highly effective in cross-kingdom communication, evidenced by the delivery of miRNAs like osa-miR164d which reprogram macrophages to alleviate colitis. \n\nGinseng-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEs/GENs) similarly exhibit anti-inflammatory efficacy but are frequently highlighted for systemic benefits including neuroprotection, promotion of osteogenic differentiation via the PI3K/AKT pathway, and sensitization of cancer cells to chemotherapy. The literature highlights that boiling ginger vesicles produces T-GEVs with enhanced trafficking regulators, demonstrating that processing techniques fundamentally alter PDEV efficacy. Both platforms successfully leverage surface modifications (e.g., folic acid, hydrogels) to overcome pharmacokinetic bottlenecks, though their primary therapeutic axes reflect the distinct bioactive profiles of the parental plant tissue.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   **Boiling-induced reconfiguration:** Boiling ginger vesicles creates T-GEVs with enhanced clathrin-dependent uptake, increasing efficacy by 8.57-fold.\n*   **Lipid-driven inhibition:** In ginger, lipids are the primary bioactive agents responsible for suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome assembly.\n*   **Geographical and varietal influence:** Lipidomic profiling shows that ginger geographical variation significantly impacts B-cell internalization via chiral protein recognition.\n*   **Cross-kingdom miRNA:** Ginger vesicles utilize miRNAs (e.g., osa-miR164d) to target TAB1 in host cells, suppressing NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation.\n*   **Osteogenic capacity:** Ginseng vesicles exhibit unique regenerative potential, enhancing rBMSC differentiation via the PI3K/AKT pathway.\n*   **Sandwich-targeting:** Engineered ginger vesicles can establish Tf-mediated sandwich-like targeting interfaces to penetrate tumor-associated intestinal epithelium.\n*   **Storage requirements:** For ginger vesicles, -80\u00b0C is the optimal storage temperature to maintain long-term functional stability.\n*   **Intestinal retention:** Ginseng vesicles provide prolonged retention (up to 48 hours) in the intestinal tract.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

While surface engineering can enhance tissue accumulation, strategies that preserve biocompatibility and enable scalable production remain limited. Here, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs). The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein. This specific composition drives their tissue-specific accumulation in the intestine and liver and potentiates clathrin-dependent cellular uptake in intestinal cells by 8.57-fold. Beyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform. When loaded with tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) small interfering RNA, they enable a synergistic therapy that combines innate anti-inflammatory activity with targeted gene silencing of TNF-\u03b1, showing potent efficacy in colitis. Our findings position boiling as a natural strategy for enhancing the bioactivity and targeted oral delivery potential of GEVs.\n\nID: 42544642\nTitle: Microneedling-assisted Panax ginseng exosome protocol for vulvovaginal symptoms and vulvar skin tone changes: A preliminary pilot observational study.\nAbstract: BackgroundNonhormonal approaches for vulvovaginal symptoms and vulvar skin concerns are increasingly being explored. However, clinical evidence for combined microneedling-assisted topical protocols in this setting remains limited.ObjectivesThis preliminary pilot observational study explored the short-term feasibility, patient-reported outcomes, tolerability, and qualitative photographic findings associated with a combined microneedling-assisted Panax ginseng exosome protocol with adjunctive inner gel use.DesignSingle-arm preliminary pilot observational study.MethodsFourteen women (mean age, 48.6 years; range, 24-63 years) underwent three treatment sessions at 2-week intervals, followed by a final assessment 2 weeks after the third treatment session, resulting in a total study duration of 6 weeks from baseline to final follow-up for each participant. Microneedling was performed on the vulvar area using a 2-mm dermaroller, followed by topical application of a Panax ginseng exosome formulation. Participants also used an adjunctive inner gel between visits. Outcomes included the Vulvovaginal Symptom Questionnaire (VSQ), the Day-to-Day Impact of Vaginal Aging (DIVA) questionnaire, procedural pain assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS), safety observations, and qualitative clinical photographic assessment.ResultsTotal VSQ score decreased after treatment (mean change, -2.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], -4.76 to -0.95; p = 0.00648). Total DIVA score also decreased (mean change, -5.43; 95% CI, -9.55 to -1.30; p = 0.0138), with significant improvement in the daily activities domain (median change, -2.0; p = 0.00849). The emotion and sexual life domains showed directional decreases but did not reach statistical significance. Procedure-related pain was transient and generally decreased within 30 minutes after treatment. Clinical photographs showed qualitative observational changes in pigmentation intensity and skin tone uniformity. No serious adverse events were observed during the short follow-up period.ConclusionThis small uncontrolled pilot study found that the combined microneedling-assisted Panax ginseng exosome protocol with adjunctive inner gel use was associated with short-term improvements in patient-reported vulvovaginal symptoms and qualitative vulvar skin tone observations. Because of the single-arm design, small sample size, combined intervention, subjective photographic assessment, and short follow-up, these findings should be interpreted as preliminary and hypothesis-generating. Many women experience vulvovaginal symptoms such as dryness, itching, irritation, discomfort, or pain during sexual activity. Some women also have concerns about changes in vulvar skin tone. This small pilot study looked at a combined nonhormonal treatment using microneedling, a topical Panax ginseng exosome product, and home use of an inner gel. Fourteen women took part. Each participant received three treatment sessions, 2 weeks apart, and had a final assessment 2 weeks after the third session. The total study duration was 6 weeks. After treatment, participants reported lower vulvovaginal symptom scores and lower daily impact scores. The daily activities score improved, while emotional well-being and sexual life scores showed decreasing trends but did not significantly improve. Treatment-related pain was temporary and generally decreased within 30 minutes. No serious adverse events were observed during the short follow-up period. Clinical photographs showed visual changes in skin tone in some cases, but these photographs were not measured using objective color tests or blinded grading. Because this study included only 14 participants, had no control group, used a combined treatment, and had short follow-up, the findings should be considered preliminary. Larger controlled studies are needed to confirm safety, durability, and clinical usefulness.\n\nID: 42486784\nTitle: In Situ Transferrin-Mediated Sandwich-like Targeting with Engineered Ginger-Derived Extracellular Vesicles for Precision Oral Chemotherapy of Colorectal Cancer.\nAbstract: Oral chemotherapy for colorectal cancer (CRC) is limited by poor tumor selectivity and microenvironment-driven resistance. Addressing these limitations demands materials that integrate tumor-selective targeting with immune microenvironment modulation. Here, clinical analysis of CRC specimens revealed pronounced transferrin (Tf) enrichment in CRC-associated intestinal regions. Guided by this finding, we engineered a gastrointestinal-stable cyclic Tf-binding peptide (cp) with high Tf affinity and constructed cp-modified ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (cp-GEVs) for in situ Tf-mediated sandwich-like targeting. By recruiting endogenous Tf, cp-GEVs established a Tf-mediated bridging interface that selectively engages Tf receptor-overexpressing intestinal epithelium and tumor cells, enabling efficient epithelial transcytosis, tumor-selective accumulation, and deep intratumoral penetration after oral administration. When loaded with irinotecan (CPT-11), CPT@cp-GEVs significantly enhanced intracellular drug delivery and reprogrammed immunosuppressive M2-like tumor-associated macrophages toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype, thereby disrupting cancer stem cell-enriched drug-resistant niches. In AOM/DSS-induced primary CRC models and patient-derived ex vivo systems, CPT@cp-GEVs significantly improved chemotherapeutic efficacy while attenuating resistance. Collectively, this work establishes a Tf-mediated sandwich-like targeting framework for oral cancer therapy, offering a conceptually distinct materials design paradigm that integrates endogenous ligand recruitment with immune microenvironment reprogramming.\n\nID: 42485233\nTitle: Zn2GeO4:Mn Luminescent Superparticles/Au-Ag Bimetallic Nanoarrays for ECL Detection of miRNA-156a in Ginseng Exosomes.\nAbstract: MicroRNA (miRNA) in plant exosomes exhibits cross-species regulatory properties, opening a new avenue for researching natural pharmacodynamic molecules. In this study, a novel biosensing system has been developed based on Zn2GeO4:Mn luminescent superparticles/Au-Ag bimetallic nanoarrays for the detection of miRNA-156a in ginseng. First, polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene (PEO-PPO-PEO) triblock copolymer (P123) is used as a structure-directing agent to induce the directional self-assembly of Zn2GeO4:Mn nanorods as luminescent superparticles (SPs). Moreover, the hydrophilic end of P123 adsorbs more coreactants to accelerate reaction kinetics and significantly boosts the intensity and stability of electrochemiluminescence (ECL). Meanwhile, a Au-Ag bimetallic nanoarray is fabricated as an electrode modification interface. This Au-Ag bimetallic nanoarray enlarges the electrochemical surface area and elevates electron-transfer rates, leading to remarkable ECL signal enhancement. Furthermore, the high catalytic activity of Ag lowers the energy barrier for the electrochemical reaction in the system, thereby enabling the ECL reaction to proceed at a lower negative potential. Finally, a sandwich-type ECL biosensor is constructed for the detection of miRNA-156a in ginseng exosomes. The sensor has a linear range of 1 fM to 1 nM and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 1.3 fM, which offers technical support for the pharmacodynamic evaluation and medicinal part selection of ginseng.\n\nID: 42403930\nTitle: Investigating the Effect of Ginger-Derived Nanovesicles on the Growth and Metabolic Activity of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron: An Isothermal Microcalorimetric Study.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have shown numerous health benefits, including modulation of the human gut microbiota. Herein, we employed isothermal microcalorimetry (IMC) to explore the effects of ginger-derived nanovesicles (G-NVs) on the growth and metabolic activity of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt), a dominant saccharolytic commensal with promising next-generation probiotic potential. Bt was exposed to either G-NVs or the ginger extract separated from G-NVs (G-CTL) in defined media under anaerobic conditions. Both ginger samples enhanced bacterial specific growth rate and maximum metabolic activity, inducing the latter earlier. However, higher biomass production and greater secretion of acetic, succinic and propionic acids occurred only in response to the G-CTL. Complete sugar depletion and unchanged free amino acid levels indicated preferential carbohydrate utilisation by Bt. Overall, these findings revealed that Bt's metabolic state is shaped by both G-NVs and G-CTL, yet through distinct mechanisms, with G-NVs inducing rapid stimulation without increasing total metabolic output and G-CTL providing a sustained, dose-dependent effect. To our knowledge, this is the first study applying IMC to monitor in real-time the impact of EVs on microbial growth and metabolism, underscoring IMC's utility for mechanistic studies of EV-microbe interactions. Furthermore, this research sets the ground for innovative strategies in nutraceutical and microbiome-targeted therapy development.\n\nID: 42395025\nTitle: Ginsenosides from Panax ginseng: Their mechanisms, microbiome determinants, and translational strategies in therapeutic activity against cancer.\nAbstract: Ginsenosides from Panax ginseng Meyer and their microbiota-derived metabolites have been explored as adjuncts in oncology, with pleiotropic activities across tumor-intrinsic and microenvironmental pathways. This review focuses on representative metabolites (Rg3, Rh2 and compound K) and summarizes mechanistic evidence for apoptosis and cell-cycle control, metabolic reprogramming (Warburg-type glycolysis), and epigenetic regulation (miRNA/lncRNA-linked programs), together with immunomodulatory effects in the tumor microenvironment. A central translational constraint is pharmacokinetics and the \"microbiota gatekeeping\" effect: many parent ginsenosides show limited oral absorption and require microbiota-mediated deglycosylation, resulting in delayed and variable systemic exposure across individuals. To address this bottleneck, we discuss pragmatic translational directions including bioconversion/pre-transformation to enrich active metabolites, biomimetic delivery platforms such as ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles to improve exposure and tissue uptake, and mechanism-guided combinations (e.g., with immune checkpoint blockade). Finally, we outline how biomarker-informed stratification and AI/ML-enabled, hypothesis-generating optimization of delivery/formulation may support more predictable clinical development.\n\nID: 42293730\nTitle: A safe and anti-inflammatory plant-derived nanovesicle platform for targeted delivery in acute lung injury.\nAbstract: Acute lung injury (ALI) and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), are life-threatening pulmonary disorders with extremely high mortality rates, for which effective and safe therapeutic strategies remain limited. The development of targeted and biocompatible drug delivery systems is urgently needed to control pulmonary inflammatory cascades while minimizing systemic toxicity. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles offer a naturally safe and anti-inflammatory platform for therapeutic delivery. Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1), a major bioactive compound from ginseng, possesses potent anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties, whereas lemon-derived EVs (LEVs) exhibit intrinsic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we engineered a multifunctional, biocompatible drug delivery platform, GRb1@LEVs-cRGD, in which ginsenoside Rb1 is incorporated into and fused with LEVs to form hybrid bio-nanovesicles, while the vesicle surface is functionalized with cyclic RGD (cRGD) peptides to target integrin \u03b1v\u03b23 highly expressed in inflamed pulmonary tissues, thereby enhancing site-specific delivery. In vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD effectively inhibited M1 macrophage polarization, suppressed inflammatory cascades, and preserved epithelial-endothelial integrity. Furthermore, exogenous cholesterol loading improved vesicle stability, maintained the pH gradient, and enhanced the loading efficiency of tigecycline and vancomycin by six-fold. In murine models of bacterial pneumonia induced by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, antibiotic-loaded GRb1@LEVs-cRGD efficiently accumulated at infection sites and exhibited synergistic anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. Overall, this study demonstrates that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD is a safe, targeted, and multifunctional therapeutic platform with significant potential for ALI/ARDS treatment.\n\nID: 42211882\nTitle: M1 macrophage-targeted engineered ginseng stems and leaves-derived extracellular vesicles delivery system for alleviating rheumatoid arthritis.\nAbstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent synovial inflammation, oxidative stress damage and joint destruction. Current treatments often face challenges including limited targeting efficacy and systemic side effects. To develop a novel targeted therapy for RA, this study constructed a functionalized extracellular vesicle (EV) system by engineering ginseng stems and leaves-derived EVs with hyaluronic acid (HA) modification and curcumin (Cur) loading (Cur@EVs-PH). Structurally, the EVs-PH drug-loaded nanoplatform integrates the remarkable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of EVs with the prolonged circulation capacity conferred by PEG. This design further capitalizes on the targeting ability of HA, thereby providing a robust structural foundation for the efficient delivery of therapeutics to disease sites. Our results demonstrated that the designed system achieved enhanced inflammatory targeting through CD44 receptor-mediated accumulation and exhibited potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In the collagen-induced arthritis model, Cur@EVs-PH significantly alleviated joint swelling, reduced pathological scores and normalized immune organ indices. Mechanistic studies revealed that the therapeutic effects were mediated through suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and promotion of macrophage M2 polarization. This integrated strategy combining natural EVs, targeted modification and active drug loading provides a promising platform for the treatment of RA and other inflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 42150513\nTitle: Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles enable enhanced transdermal delivery of finasteride for androgenetic alopecia treatment.\nAbstract: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a highly prevalent hair loss disorder, and finasteride (FIN) is one of the two drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating AGA. The clinical use of finasteride for AGA is limited by its poor solubility and systemic adverse effects. To address the limitations of finasteride, we developed a drug delivery system using ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs). These nanoparticles were loaded with finasteride and integrated into a thermosensitive gel (FIN@GELNs-Gel) to enhance transdermal absorption. In vitro results demonstrated that the formulation promoted cell migration and angiogenesis, indicating its potential to improve the hair follicle microenvironment. In vivo study on AGA mouse models showed a significant reduction in dihydrotestosterone levels in both the skin and serum. Furthermore, the treatment upregulated VEGF and Ki67 expression, accelerated the telogen-to-anagen transition effectively, all without inducing histopathological abnormalities in major organs. These results collectively demonstrate that FIN@GELNs-Gel significantly enhances the therapeutic efficacy and biosafety of finasteride, showing promising potential as an effective topical treatment for AGA.\n\nID: 42114788\nTitle: Ginsenoside Rh2 from ginseng exosomes enhances chemotherapy sensitivity in non-small cell lung cancer by modulating the USP22-RRM2 axis.\nAbstract: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a prevalent and malignant cancer globally, characterized by chemotherapy resistance. The aim of this study was focused on the potential of ginsenoside (Gn)-Rh2 from ginseng exosomes (Gn-Exos), a primary bioactive constituent of Panax ginseng, to enhance chemotherapy sensitivity in NSCLC. In this study, Gn-Exo was isolated and identified. The intake and internal organ distribution of PKH26-labelled Gn-Exos was detected using immunofluorescence and in vivo imaging. Transwell migration, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation, cell counting, and wound healing experiments were performed to assess NSCLC cell proliferation and migration. A mouse tumor xenograft model was constructed to assess the roles of Gn-Exos and the main active ingredient Gn-Rh2 in NSCLC progression and metastasis in vivo. Gn-Exos can inhibit the proliferation, migration, cancer growth, and pulmonary metastasis of NSCLC cells. Mass spectrometry analysis confirmed that the main component of Gn-Exos was Gn-Rh2. The results also showed that Gn-Rh2 inhibited the proliferation and migration of NSCLC cells in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. Comprehensive proteomic analysis identified ribonucleotide reductase regulatory subunit M2 (RRM2) and ubiquitin-specific protease 22 (USP22) as key targets significantly downregulated by Gn-Rh2. Experimental results demonstrated that Gn-Rh2 disrupts the interaction to USP22, disrupting the interaction between USP22 and RRM2, leading to ubiquitination degradation of RRM2. Animal experiments further confirmed that Gn-Rh2 sensitized NSCLC cells to chemotherapy, particularly cisplatin. These findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of Gn-Rh2 in enhancing chemotherapy sensitivity and suggest a promising therapeutic strategy for NSCLC.\n\nID: 42098749\nTitle: Research progress on the mechanisms of Panax ginseng and its active components in maintaining skin homeostasis and disease intervention.\nAbstract: Panax ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) is a classic herbal medicine widely utilized in dermatological management, yet its precise therapeutic mechanisms have only recently begun to be fully elucidated. This review systematically synthesizes the pharmacological roles of ginseng's active components, including ginsenosides, polysaccharides, and gintonin, in maintaining skin homeostasis and treating various cutaneous pathologies. Emerging evidence suggests that the efficacy of ginseng extends beyond direct molecular interactions, exhibiting the distinct characteristics of \"indirect pharmacology.\" Specifically, parent ginsenosides function primarily as natural prodrugs that require microbial biotransformation into high-affinity active metabolites, such as Compound K and Rh2, to exert potent therapeutic effects. Functionally, these components regulate skin health by mobilizing endogenous host defense systems, particularly through the activation of the Nrf2/ARE antioxidant pathway and the suppression of inflammatory cascades via the NF-\u03baB, MAPK, and IL-1 signaling networks. Furthermore, they remodel the systemic microenvironment through the gut-skin axis, facilitating metabolic homeostasis to improve skin barrier function. Notably, biotransformation rates and ultimate therapeutic efficacy are highly dependent on individualized variables, such as host age, dietary patterns, and baseline disease states. This systemic regulation has demonstrated robust efficacy in intervening in complex pathologies, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and skin cancer. Additionally, this article addresses the translational bottleneck of low bioavailability and evaluates recent advances in novel skin delivery systems, specifically those utilizing ginseng-derived exosomes. Collectively, this review provides a scientific framework for understanding the systemic actions of ginseng, supporting its development as a precision botanical therapy for dermatological applications.\n\nID: 42061772\nTitle: Remote mobilization of gut Tregs exosomes serves as nanoshuttles for targeted cardioprotection against ischemia/reperfusion injury by ginseng polysaccharides.\nAbstract: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) remains a critical clinical condition with limited preventive and therapeutic strategies, underscoring the need for novel interventions. The gut-heart axis and exosomal crosstalk hold therapeutic promise for cardioprotection, yet the fundamental question of which specific gut cells release the beneficial exosomes is unanswered. This study aimed to elucidate whether ginseng polysaccharides WGPA exert remote cardiac protection by regulating intestinal immune homeostasis, specifically through promoting the release of exosomes from regulatory T cells (Tregs). Using integrated in vivo and in vitro models, we evaluated the protective effects of WGPA against MIRI. The results demonstrated that WGPA pretreatment significantly attenuated myocardial injury and improved cardiac function. Mechanistically, WGPA selectively activated intestinal Tregs and enhanced the release of HSP70-enriched exosomes. These exosomes entered systemic circulation and were delivered to the heart, where surface HSP70 interacted with TLR4 on cardiomyocytes, activating downstream protective signaling pathways and ultimately suppressing cardiomyocyte death and inflammatory responses. Our study reveals for the first time a complete mechanism by which medicinal plant polysaccharides confer cross-organ cardioprotection via the \"intestinal Tregs-exosome-heart\" axis, providing a novel theoretical basis and a potential intervention strategy for the prevention and treatment of MIRI.\n\nID: 41985257\nTitle: The drug substance of traditional Japanese Kampo medicines retains exosome-like nanoparticles derived from crude drugs.\nAbstract: Recent studies have highlighted the diverse roles of extracellular vesicles, which have been detected in natural products such as ginger and ginseng. This study examined whether traditional Japanese Kampo medicines also contain extracellular vesicles. The drug substance (i.e., spray-dried powder from hot-water extracts of crude drugs) of the Kampo medicine Ninjin'yoeito was suspended in distilled water and fractionated by size exclusion chromatography to isolate nano-sized particles. Nanoparticle tracking analysis and electron microscopy confirmed the particle size distribution and morphology of the product, confirming the presence of exosome-like nanoparticles in the Kampo medicine preparation. Nanoparticle measurements and electron microscopy revealed vesicle-like structures consistent with the known characteristics of exosomes, and proteomic analysis supported their biochemical identity. Lectin array profiling revealed the abundance of high-mannose N-glycans on their surface. These nanoparticles were internalized by cells, and miRNA analysis indicated the presence of multiple miRNA types within the nanoparticles. This is the first report demonstrating the presence and characteristics of exosome-like nanoparticles in Kampo medicines. Although most active components of Kampo medicines have traditionally been considered small molecules, our findings suggest that extracellular vesicles can also serve as potential bioactive components.\n\nID: 41909130\nTitle: EGF-loaded, bioactive-rich Panax notoginseng-derived nanovesicles accelerate skin wound healing.\nAbstract: Wound healing is a complex physiological process involving homeostasis, inflammation, proliferation, migration and tissue remodeling. Impaired keratinocyte migration across the wound bed is a key determinant of non-healing wounds. In this context, plant-derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) have emerged as promising therapeutic agents for wound healing due to their high yield, intrinsic biocompatibility, the ability to traverse biological barriers, and an intrinsic molecular cargo (lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and phytochemicals) that can exert multitarget effects. In this study, we screened a panel of six PDNVs and found Panax notoginseng-derived PDNVs (PNVs) displayed superior cell proliferation-promoting activity. To further amplify the bioactivity of PNVs, we actively loaded epidermal growth factor (EGF) onto PNVs (EGF@PNVs). By employing LC-MS and miRNA sequencing, we identified abundant small-molecule compounds (e.g., ginsenoside Rb1, Rg1) and miRNAs (e.g., miRNA 159) in PNVs. In vitro experiments demonstrated that PNVs and EGF@PNVs significantly enhanced the proliferation and migration of human keratinocytes (HACAT) as well as the repair of skin mechanical trauma. Moreover, they not only directly accelerated the proliferation and migration of L929 mouse fibroblast cells (L929 cells) but also orchestrated the secretion of TNF-\u03b1 by mouse mononuclear macrophages (RAW264.7 cells). This cytokine subsequently induced the fibroblast activation or phenotype modulation in L929 cells, further augmenting their proliferative and migratory potential. In a mouse skin injury model both formulations accelerated wound closure and exerted immunomodulatory effects, with EGF@PNVs consistently outperforming PNVs. Collectively, our findings introduce EGF@PNVs as a natural, cost-effective, topical alternative to conventional biologics for wound management.\n\nID: 41901427\nTitle: Plant-Derived Nanocarriers for Drug Delivery: A Unified Framework Integrating Extracellular Vesicles, Engineered Phytocarriers, Hybrid Platforms, and Bioinspired Systems.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs), engineered phytosomes, bioinspired polymeric plant-based nanoparticles (PBNPs), hybrid phyto-inorganic nanocomposites, green-synthesized metal nanoparticles, self-assembled nanoarchitectures, and multifunctional composites represent a rapidly advancing class of sustainable, nature-inspired nanocarriers. These platforms combine exceptional biocompatibility, negligible immunogenicity, and renewable sourcing with tunable drug loading, targeted delivery, and controlled release properties. This review synthesizes translational advances from 2020 to 2026, covering scalable isolation/bioprocessing (bioreactors, elicitation), multi-parametric physicochemical/multi-omics characterization, rational engineering/hybridization, and rigorous in vitro/in vivo assessments of uptake, biodistribution, pharmacokinetic (PK), and efficacy. Phytosomes and PBNPs markedly enhance oral bioavailability and targeted delivery of lipophilic phytochemicals, while PDEVs offer unique immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and gene-regulatory activities. Hybrid and green-synthesized systems provide structural stability, redox modulation, and synergistic effects, and self-assembled/multifunctional composites address solubilization barriers with stimuli-responsive design. Early-phase human studies on grapefruit-, ginger-, turmeric-, and ginseng-derived PDEVs report excellent short-term safety, favorable PK, and preliminary bioactivity signals, with no observed immunogenicity or dose-limiting toxicities; however, these trials remain exploratory, constrained by small sample sizes and safety-focused endpoints. Despite challenges, including methodological heterogeneity, variable yields, long-term safety uncertainties (notably for inorganic hybrids), and regulatory ambiguities, emerging strategies such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-engineered plant line; artificial-intelligence-driven process optimization; standardized guidelines, and integrated clinical, intellectual property, and commercialization frameworks are progressively addressing these barriers. Collectively, these advances position plant-derived nanocarriers as immunologically privileged, eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic and mammalian platforms, laying the foundation for a sustainable era of precision phytomedicine.\n\nID: 41858576\nTitle: From Biomedical Mechanisms to Clinical Applications: Research Progress in Plant-Derived Vesicles for Cancer Therapy.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale membranous structures secreted by cells, which carry bioactive molecules (eg, lipids, proteins, miRNAs) and facilitate intercellular communication. Recently, EVs have emerged as natural drug delivery systems. While early research focused on mammalian or bacterial EVs, concerns regarding safety, ethics, and cost limit their clinical translation. Plant-derived vesicles (PDVs), isolated from fruits, vegetables, or medicinal herbs, overcome these issues due to their abundant sources, cost-effectiveness, and favorable safety profile. PDVs from plants like citrus, ginger, and ginseng exhibit inherent anticancer effects by inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis. However, PDV research remains nascent and faces major challenges: (1) Scalable production is inefficient, with current isolation methods yielding impurities and batch variations. (2) Unified markers and classification criteria are lacking, hindering data standardization. (3) High heterogeneity and the absence of systematic databases impede matching PDV sources to specific diseases. (4) Safety assessment frameworks are urgently needed, including contraindications and pharmacokinetic studies. This review summarizes the preparation methods, physicochemical properties, anticancer mechanisms, and drug delivery applications of PDVs, while addressing these challenges and future prospects.\n\nID: 41828378\nTitle: Ginseng Biomacromolecules: Integrating Nutrition and Health, a New Direction in Phytomedicine.\nAbstract: As a traditional dual-purpose ingredient for both medicine and food, the biomacromolecules in Panax ginseng include polysaccharides, pectin, exosomes, proteins and dietary fiber. Due to their unique chemical structures, physiological activities, and processing adaptability, these components have achieved diversified applications in the medical field, becoming one of the core raw materials for functional food development. Modern research shows that the biomacromolecules found in ginseng can regulate the body's immunity, antioxidant and anti-tumor properties, as well as antibacterial properties and the ability to enhance the body's metabolic capacity, demonstrating significant application potential in healthcare-related fields. Recent studies have found that in addition to the root, the stems, leaves, fruits and flowers of P. ginseng also contain various effective components such as ginseng polysaccharides and pectin, which have enhanced the utilization value of ginseng plant resources. Ginseng biomacromolecules can not only replace antibiotics but also improve the production performance of animals by influencing the structure of intestinal flora, providing raw materials for the selection and application of natural feed additives for animals. This review summarizes the latest research findings on the pharmacological properties and practical applications of ginseng-derived biomolecules. It primarily addresses the structural characteristics, pharmacological activities, and current applications in health and medicine of biomolecules such as ginseng polysaccharides, ginseng exosomes, ginseng proteins, and ginseng dietary fiber. It aims to provide a fresh perspective and a solid theoretical foundation for the in-depth development of ginseng in the fields of medicine and molecular biology.\n\nID: 41809261\nTitle: An erythrocyte membrane-fused plant-derived nanoparticles as a gene therapy vehicle for the treatment of CI/R injury.\nAbstract: Ischemic stroke is currently the second leading cause of death worldwide, and insufficient endogenous neurogenesis is the greatest cause of post-stroke disability. MicroRNAs have been proven to hold therapeutic potential, unfortunately, they have a low stability that hinders their clinical usage. Our earlier work revealed that Panax notoginseng derived exosome like nanoparticles, namely PDNs have potential to bypass BBB and reduce the cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CI/R) damage. In this study, we employed microRNA-124 as a model therapeutic gene, utilizing its engineered variant Agomir-124 (Ago124) to optimize loading efficiency. The therapeutic effects of Ago124@R-PDN were further assessed in several sets of experiments. Pharmacokinetic study showed that erythrocyte membrane extended the half-life of PDNs from 7 min to 11.3 h, and the loading efficiency of Ago124 reached 40\u202f%. In an in vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) model, Ago124@R-PDN enhanced IL-10 production in microglia by 67\u202f% (vs 11.7\u202f% with free Ago124), and promoted Tuj1+ neuronal differentiation by 2.23-fold compared with vehicle. Also, Ago124@R-PDN brought gene cargo into the brain, alleviated infarct volume, and improved functional behaviors in model mice. At last, we demonstrated that surface glycosyl of PDN facilitated its brain-entering ability by being recognized by sodium-glucose linked transporter-1 protein. In conclusion, our erythrocyte fused PDNs offer a promising strategy for delivering biomacromolecule to treat brain diseases.\n\nID: 41772638\nTitle: Synergistic delivery of ginseng exosomes and biomimetic melanosomes via temporally controlled hydrogel microneedles restrain the pathologic triad of vitiligo.\nAbstract: Vitiligo pathogenesis involves progressive melanocyte loss and keratinocyte dysfunction, which are driven primarily by oxidative stress resulting from excessive ROS accumulation. We engineered a temporally controlled hydrogel microneedle system that integrates ginseng-derived exosomes (G-Exos) with biomimetic polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA@PEGs) to concurrently target the pathogenic triad of vitiligo, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and melanocyte deficiency. This system employs methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HAMA) hydrogel microneedles for rapid PDA@PEG release while utilizing glyceryl monostearate micelles to achieve matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)-responsive G-Exo release at inflammatory foci, enabling intelligent spatiotemporal control. Functionally, G-Exos help restore redox homeostasis and suppress inflammation through bioactive constituents, thereby protecting melanocytes and enhancing keratinocyte proliferation. Moreover, PDA@PEG promotes repigmentation through the dual mechanisms of exogenous melanin deposition and endogenous melanogenesis stimulation. In murine models, this strategy achieves significant repigmentation within 3 weeks by activating follicular stem cells, upregulating melanogenic markers (Tyr/Mc1r), increasing antioxidant defense (ApoE), and suppressing inflammatory signaling (IL-17). This natural-biomimetic hybrid design leverages biocompatible materials to co-target multiple pathological axes, offering a novel self-adaptive approach for microenvironmental rehabilitation in vitiligo.\n\nID: 41703861\nTitle: Geographic variation in ginger-derived nanovesicle lipids identifies chiral protein recognition as a determinant of B-cell internalization.\nAbstract: Plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (PELNs) represent natural nanocarriers for advanced nutrient delivery, with their lipid being a underutilized resource. However, a question is whether geographical variation of plant alters the lipid composition of PELNs to impact immune cells. To investigate this, geographical variation in ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) was leveraged as a natural lipid library. The first step was to determine whether geographical variation triggered biosynthetic divergence in GELNs lipids. Our approach combined lipidomic profiling, functional assays, and computational simulations to identify lipids that govern B-cell internalization and to elucidate their underlying mechanisms. Among 1202 lipids, 88 were differentially abundant (VIP >1.2, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05), and 36 correlated with internalization (|\u03c1|\u00a0>\u00a00.65, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Molecular docking showed DG (32:2) binding strongly to fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) (-8.00\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.17\u00a0kcal/mol) and PG (23:2) variants preferring autotaxin (ATX) (-6.97 to -7.43\u00a0kcal/mol), with both exceeding their affinity for bovine serum albumin, indicating a protein corona-independent mechanism. Molecular dynamics simulations validated the specificity predicted by docking, confirming that DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) form more stable complexes with FAAH and ATX, respectively. These data demonstrated a structure-activity relationship in which the promotion and inhibition of B-cell internalization are mediated by the key lipids DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) engaging FAAH and ATX through stereospecific interactions, respectively. This work establishes a phenotype-driven pipeline that bridges botanical diversity with precision nutrition, providing a source of functional dietary lipids, a mechanistic basis for their immunomodulatory effects, and a robust tool for quality evaluation.\n\nID: 41562604\nTitle: Complexed Tartary buckwheat starch with ginger exosomes modulates digestion resistance and gut microbiota to alleviate metabolic dysregulation in T2DM mice.\nAbstract: Resistant starch (RS) stabilizes postprandial blood glucose levels through multiple mechanisms and offers distinct advantages in preventing and managing metabolic diseases such as diabetes. This study introduces a novel plant exosome-starch composite system, combining Tartary buckwheat starch (TBS) and ginger exosomes (GELNs), referred to as the TBS-GELNs composite resistant starch (GTBS). Multi-scale physicochemical analysis revealed the molecular interaction mechanisms: composite formation significantly altered the microstructure of gelatinized starch. GELNs interacted with TBS through hydrogen bonds, enhancing starch crystallinity and short-range ordering, thus reducing its digestibility. The metabolic effects of GTBS on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) mice were further examined. The results indicated that GTBS markedly decreased fasting blood glucose and lipid levels, alleviated some organ damage, and improved gut microbiota composition by enhancing the structure and abundance of beneficial bacterial populations. This study provides novel insights and a theoretical basis for the regulation of postprandial blood glucose via composite starch-based biomolecules, offering promising strategies for developing staple food products that integrate nutritional value with biological activity.\n\nID: 41560797\nTitle: Targeting single-cell multiomics-identified vascular impairment: Panax notoginseng extracellular vesicles-loaded adhesive QBK-2/EVs promotes angiogenesis in diabetic wound healing.\nAbstract: Diabetic skin wounds, a severe complication affecting over 18.6 million people globally, are characterized by high amputation and mortality rates. However, the cellular heterogeneity of diabetic wounds and the specific molecular mechanisms underlying their impaired healing remain unclear. Furthermore, treatment strategies based on medicinal plants targeting these pathological mechanisms are lacking. This study explored diabetic wound pathogenesis using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), revealing a 52\u00a0% reduction in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and a decreased abundance of proliferative ECs in diabetic wound tissues, which contributed to impaired vascular repair. Network pharmacology and RT-qPCR identified E-selectin (SELE) as the key target of Panax notoginseng in the treatment of diabetic wounds, which was corroborated by molecular docking. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent a class of superior bioactive nanomaterials compared to traditional extracts, exhibiting high delivery efficiency, molecular transport capacity, and biocompatibility, enabling cross-species communication essential for therapeutic applications. To further overcome limitations associated with plant-derived extracts (e.g., short half-life), we isolated Panax notoginseng EVs and subsequently loaded them into a hydrogel via dynamic borate ester bonds formed between quaternized chitosan-phenylboronic acid (QCS-BA) and konjac glucomannan (KGM), ultimately generating the QBK-2/EVs composite system. This hydrogel not only effectively encapsulated and continuously released EVs, but also exhibited good injectability, self-healing property, tissue adhesion (42.83\u00a0kPa), and ROS/pH-responsive degradation. In vitro, QBK-2/EVs enhanced human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation by downregulating SELE and upregulating angiogenesis markers (CD31, F-actin). In vivo, QBK-2/EVs accelerated wound healing in diabetic mice, promoted hemostasis, increased collagen deposition, and enhanced microvessel density (CD31), while simultaneously reducing the expression of SELE. Overall, this work establishes a mechanism-driven strategy for diabetic wound treatment through synergistic exosome-mediated angiogenesis and hydrogel-based delivery.\n\nID: 41530048\nTitle: Panax ginseng-derived Exosome-like Nanoparticles Prevent LPS-induced Septic Shock by Modulating TLR4 Glycosylation in Macrophages.\nAbstract: Macrophages play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of sepsis, serving as central regulators of both disease onset and progression. Among the therapeutic agents investigated to modulate macrophage-driven inflammation, compounds extracted from the roots of Panax ginseng have been distinguished for their potent anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, attention has shifted toward ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDEs) because of their ability to encapsulate diverse bioactive compounds with high stability and biocompatibility. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of GDEs against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic shock, with a particular focus on macrophage-mediated mechanisms. GDEs isolated from Korean Panax ginseng exhibited a spherical morphology, high stability, and effective encapsulation of bioactive ginsenosides, including Rb1, Rg1, and Rg3. GDEs significantly attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages by reducing toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) glycosylation, thereby inhibiting LPS binding. This suppression of TLR4 glycosylation led to decreased production of nitric oxide and proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1\u03b2, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), as well as inhibition of intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation and NF-\u03baB activation. Furthermore, GDE treatment markedly improved survival and alleviated lung, liver, and spleen damage in an LPS-induced sepsis mouse model. In summary, these findings suggest that GDEs represent a promising nanomedicine strategy for sepsis prevention, offering targeted modulation of macrophage activity without apparent adverse effects.\n\nID: 41507517\nTitle: Anti-obesity Effects of Panax ginseng-derived exosomes via AMPK-mediated inhibition of adipocyte differentiation and lipogenesis.\nAbstract: This study investigated the anti-obesity potential of Panax ginseng-derived exosomes (PGE) by evaluating their influence on energy metabolism, adipogenesis, and lipid accumulation. PGEs were isolated using a tangential flow filtration system, yielding particles with an average diameter of 159.5\u00a0nm and a concentration of 3.9\u2009\u00d7\u20091012 particles/mL. In 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, PGE treatment resulted in a 72.1% reduction in lipid accumulation, as demonstrated by Oil Red O staining, indicating significant inhibition of adipogenic differentiation. Elevated expression of surface markers TET-8 (147.2%) verified the exosomal nature of the isolated vesicles. To determine their role in adipocyte differentiation, we analyzed gene and protein expression of key adipogenic markers-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-\u03b3), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha and beta, and fatty acid-binding protein 4-revealing reductions of 23.6-35.6% and 26.7-35.2%, respectively. These results indicate downregulation of transcriptional and translational pathways driving adipogenesis. Lipogenic regulators, including sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthase, were also suppressed by 24.9-41.0% (gene) and 22.8-24.5% (protein), indicating impaired fatty acid synthesis. Conversely, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) expression increased by up to 53.8% (gene) and 47.9% (protein), implying activation of energy homeostasis signaling. Immunofluorescence analysis showed a reduction in the MitoTracker/DAPI ratio (57.7-60.0%) and an increase in the F-actin/DAPI ratio (39.5-60.8%), indicating decreased mitochondrial activity and enhanced cytoskeletal integrity. These molecular changes were accompanied by AMPK activation and PPAR-\u03b3 inhibition. Collectively, these findings underscore the potential of PGEs as bioactive agents for obesity management by concurrently inhibiting adipogenesis and lipogenesis, providing a strong basis for their application in anti-obesity functional foods and pharmaceutical products.\n\nID: 41491215\nTitle: Endothelial-targeted modification of ginseng-derived exosomes for IL-6 SiRNA delivery ameliorates hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury.\nAbstract: Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) serves as a critical pathological basis for post-hepatectomy liver failure and graft dysfunction following liver transplantation. Excessive inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, and cell death are key mechanisms underlying IRI. The lack of multi-targeted therapies contributes to the current insufficiency in clinical IRI management. This study developed endothelial-targeting VHPKQHR peptide (VHP)-modified ginseng-derived exosomes (G-Exos) loaded with IL-6 small interfering RNA (Si-IL6) (siRNA@VG-Exos) to mitigate liver IRI. VHP modification facilitated the targeted delivery of siRNA@VG-Exos to damaged endothelium, promoting their accumulation and subsequent release at the IRI site. siRNA@VG-Exos effectively reduced hepatic inflammatory cytokine release, enhanced T-SOD and CAT expression while suppressing MDA generation, thereby alleviating oxidative stress. Furthermore, they promoted the restoration of mitochondrial membrane potential, maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. Si-IL6 additionally suppressed IL-6 expression in liver tissue, synergistically enhancing the anti-inflammatory effect of G-Exos. Moreover, siRNA@VG-Exos inhibited CD86 expression and promoted CD206 expression in hepatic macrophages, facilitating their polarization from the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype and modulating immunity. Ultimately, siRNA@VG-Exos reduced hepatic necrotic areas, lowered ALT and AST levels, and restored liver tissue function. Further sequencing analysis indicated that siRNA@VG-Exos alleviates liver IRI by inhibiting immune and inflammatory responses and oxidative stress damage. Therefore, siRNA@VG-Exos provides a novel targeted strategy for the treatment of liver IRI.\n\nID: 41484169\nTitle: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles for itraconazole delivery across the blood-brain barrier for potential glioblastoma treatment.\nAbstract: Background A major challenge in central nervous system disorders such glioblastoma includes the presence of a blood-brain barrier which restricts the delivery of therapeutic agents to the brain, thereby limiting the effectiveness of most conventional treatments. Moreover, the discovery of novel drugs for glioblastoma has been limited hence drug repurposing has gained traction leveraging existing drugs like itraconazole. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have potential as a natural pharmaceutical delivery system owing to their therapeutic capabilities. These PDEVs may be a good candidate for blood-brain barrier permeation due to their biomolecular composition and high drug loading efficiency of itraconazole. In this work, PDEVs isolated from aloe aborescens (aloe), Zingiber officinale (ginger) and Nigella sativa seeds [black cumin seeds (BCS)] were compared in terms of their physicochemical properties, drug release kinetics, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake in glioblastoma cells and BBB permeability. Results All PDEVs displayed nanoscale sizes ranging from 103.5 to 141\u00a0nm with negative surface charge and a spherical morphological shape observed via SEM. The drug release kinetics was assessed using different mathematical models depicting the PDEVs prolonged drug release with <\u200950% releasing over 21 days. The cytotoxicity studies showed that the PDEVs resulted in a higher cell viability in the non-cancerous cell line compared to A172 glioblastoma cell line. The cellular internalization of the drug showed poor uptake of blank PDEVs compared to loaded PDEVs in glioblastoma cells. The BBB permeability test showed that ginger and aloe EVs permeated the BBB whilst BCS blank and loaded EVs did not permeate the BBB. Conclusions This delivery system improves the ability of plant-derived extracellular vesicles to cross the blood-brain barrier, addressing a key challenge in delivering treatments to the brain. Through successful encapsulation of itraconazole, it paves the way for glioblastoma treatment by repurposing itraconazole with improved efficacy and reduced side effects. Furthermore, this can be incorporated in various drug delivery vehicles depending on the route of administration and therapeutic outcome i.e. intranasal, intravenous, or oral route. Future studies focus on determining the composition of PDEVs to enable engineering strategies for next generation targeting via surface modification.\n\nID: 41360253\nTitle: An EGCG-enhanced pH/ROS dual-responsive hyaluronic acid hydrogel loaded with ginseng-derived exosomes for diabetic oral ulcers treatment.\nAbstract: Oral ulcers (OU) are prone to recurrence, and are often manifested by the accompanying bacterial infections which may induce a vicious cycle of oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. Traditional treatment methods have limited effects, including being eliminated in the moist and dynamic environment of the mouth, and are prone to various side effects or the development of drug resistance. In this study, we designed borate ester-based and Schiff base-cross-linked hydrogel (OPEC), and loaded ginseng-derived exosome (GEX@OPEC) for the treatment of OU. OPEC hydrogel is composed of phenylboronic acid-functionalized hyaluronic acid oxide (OHA-PBA), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS). The addition of EGCG enhances its borate cross-linking network and improves the adhesion of the hydrogel. GEX is connected to OPEC through hydrogen bonds and loaded into the hydrogel, further enhancing its gel network. GEX@OPEC exhibited excellent biocompatibility and degradability, ensuring safe oral use of the hydrogel. GEX@OPEC can release EGCG and GEX in response to pH and ROS to exert therapeutic effects. Our research results showed that GEX@OPEC had excellent antibacterial properties, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant stress effects, as well as angiogenic properties, which can effectively promote the healing of OU in diabetic rat models simulating OU. To sum up, GEX@OPEC has good application prospects in the treatment of diabetic OU.\n\nID: 41347179\nTitle: Exosomes derived from Panax notoginseng promote osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.\nAbstract: This study aims to investigate the effect of exosomes derived from Panax notoginseng on the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) and to elucidate the underlying intracellular signaling mechanisms. Exosomes from Panax notoginseng were isolated using differential centrifugation combined with sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The morphology of the exosomes was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), while size distribution and concentration were determined via nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). rBMSCs were isolated and identified by flow cytometry, and the uptake of fluorescently labeled Panax notoginseng exosomes by rBMSCs was confirmed using confocal microscopy. The optimal concentration of exosomes was determined using the CCK-8 assay. Osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by measuring alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, performing ALP staining, and conducting Alizarin Red S staining. The expression levels of osteogenic markers (collagen type I(COL1), ALP, osteopontin (OPN), and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2)) were quantified at the mRNA (RT-qPCR) and protein (Westem blotting)levels. High-throughput RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analyses (Gene Ontology (GO),Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG)) were employed to identify differentially expressed genes and enriched pathways. Key pathways were validated using specific inhibitors. Exosomes derived from Panax notoginseng promote the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs through the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. This study provides experimental evidence and theoretical support for the application of herbal exosomes in bone tissue engineering and the treatment of osteoporosis. Panax notoginseng exosomes promote osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway, providing experimental evidence and theoretical support for the application of herbal exosomes in bone tissue engineering and osteoporosis treatment.\n\nID: 41330460\nTitle: Geniposidic acid from ginger-processed Eucommiae Cortex alleviates rheumatoid arthritis by modulating macrophage lactylation induced by exosomes from inflammatory fibroblast-like synoviocytes.\nAbstract: Eucommiae Cortex (EC), a Traditional Chinese health food product, is known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective effects, with promising potential in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study used liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to profile the bioactive compounds of ginger-processed EC (G-EC), focusing on its absorbed constituents and metabolic fate in vivo. Network pharmacology identified geniposidic acid (GPA) as a key bioavailable compound in G-EC, potentially alleviating RA. In vivo, GPA significantly improved RA symptoms. Additionally, exosomes from inflammatory fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) (LPS-exo) promoted M1 macrophage polarization, glycolytic activation, and synovial inflammation. GPA inhibited glycolysis, reduced M1 polarization induced by LPS-exo, and downregulated H3K56la histone lactylation. Mechanistic analysis suggested these effects involve the regulation of ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) and Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) expression. This study supports the therapeutic potential of GPA in RA and provides a foundation for further clinical research.\n\nID: 41277808\nTitle: Natural Ginger-Derived Exosomes as Effective Therapeutics for Glioblastoma.\nAbstract: Despite significant therapeutic advances with chemotherapy and immunotherapy in some solid tumors, clinical outcomes for glioblastoma multiform (GBM) remain suboptimal. Owing to their high yield, easy accessibility and cost-effectiveness, plant-derived extracellular vehicles (EVs) have become attractive platforms for biomedical uses. Our study shows that fully natural ginger-derived exosomes (GEXO) effectively inhibited GBM progression through dual mechanisms: (a) direct activation of apoptotic pathways in GBM cells, and (b) induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) that transforms dead tumor cells into endogenous vaccines. Mechanistically, GEXO demonstrated superior blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration through clathrin-, caveolin- and macropinocytosis-mediated transcytosis, followed by tumor-specific accumulation via exocytosis. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that GEXO promoted an immunogenic shift in dying GBM cells, enhancing dendritic cell maturation and cytotoxic T-cell responses. In orthotopic GL261 and CT2A models, GEXO significantly prolonged survival without observable toxicity. The natural GEXO platform represents a promising, biosafe strategy with clinical potential for refractory GBM.\n\nID: 41243691\nTitle: Folic Acid-Modified Ginger-Derived Exosome-Like Nanoparticles Co-Delivering Sunitinib Suppress Renal Cell Carcinoma via PI3K-Akt Pathway Inhibition, P-gp Downregulation, and Macrophage Reprogramming.\nAbstract: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a malignant tumor with highly recurrent and metastatic capability. The current therapies for RCC are limited by drug resistance and toxic side effects. This study introduces an innovative approach that combines ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) with sunitinib (Su) and folic acid-polyethylene glycol (FA-PEG, FPD) in an active-passive targeting strategy to explore its multi-mechanism and synergistic therapeutic effects on RCC. GELNs are extracted via differential centrifugation combined with sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation. Metabolomics and network pharmacology predicted that GELNs may exert their anticancer efficacy via the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, which is subsequently validated through in vitro experiments. By loading Su and modifying it with FPD, FPD-GELNs/Su is constructed. The FPD modification significantly enhanced tumor targeting and amplified the Su sensitivity by reducing ABCB1/P-gp expression induced by GELNs. In vivo experiments revealed that FPD-GELNs/Su promoted M1 macrophage polarization and increased immune T-cell infiltration by remodeling the tumor microenvironment, leading to significant inhibition of tumor growth and lung metastasis without causing notable liver or kidney toxicity. This study integrates network pharmacology with targeted delivery strategies, elucidating the mechanisms by which FPD-GELNs/Su inhibits RCC progression through multiple pathways, providing new insights for the development of precise and low-toxicity nano-therapies.\n\nID: 41220417\nTitle: Ginger-Derived Exosome-Like Nanoparticles: The Effect of Extraction Methods on Metabolites and in vitro Anti-Lung Cancer Activity.\nAbstract: In recent years, plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs) have attracted extensive attention. Among them, Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) represent the most extensively studied category, demonstrating a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities. However, their specific efficacy against lung cancer remains largely unexplored and warrants further investigation. The appropriate isolation of GELNs is fundamental to all related research, yet a systematic comparison of different extraction methods is currently lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the differences among GELNs extracted by various methods and to investigate their anti-lung cancer pharmacological activities. The study employed four common isolation methods-ultracentrifugation (UC), sucrose gradient UC (sgUC), membrane filtration, and polyethylene glycol-based precipitation (PEG-based precipitation) - to isolate GELNs. The GELNs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and zeta potential measurements. Stability was evaluated under various conditions, including saline, serum, and different storage temperatures. The compositional profiles of GELNs extracted by four methods were explored using non-targeted metabolomics. A549 cells and PC-9 cells were used to assess the cellular uptake and anti-lung cancer efficacy of the four GELNs types. Network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations were integrated to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying their anti-lung cancer effects. The four methods successfully isolated GELNs with distinct profiles: UC achieved the highest protein yield (1.630 \u00b1 0.022 g/kg), membrane filtration yielded the highest particle concentration (46.9 \u00b1 6.71\u00d7108 particles/mL) but the lowest protein yield (0.059 \u00b1 0.002 g/kg). Stability studies indicated that the highest stability of GELNs was observed for those isolated by UC and sgUC in both 0.9% and 10% NaCl. Furthermore, GELNs prepared by UC and membrane filtration showed excellent stability in serum. It was also demonstrated that -80\u00b0C provided the optimal storage condition for GELNs. Non-targeted metabolomics revealed the presence of 649 shared metabolites among the GELNs extracted by the four methods, along with method-specific unique metabolites. GELNs extracted by all four methods were internalized by both A549 and PC-9 cells. Among them, UC-isolated GELNs demonstrated the most potent anti-proliferative activity against the lung cancer cells. Through network pharmacology, 21 key targets of UC-isolated GELNs against lung cancer were identified. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations further verified that 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione from GELNs could stably bind to key targets, including Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3\u03b2 (GSK3B), Progesterone Receptor (PGR), and SRC Proto-Oncogene, Non-Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (SRC). This study demonstrates that although all four methods can isolate GELNs, UC is recommended for fundamental research due to its high protein yield, excellent stability, and potent in vitro anti-lung cancer activity. Furthermore, the anti-lung cancer activity of GELNs may be attributed to the regulation of GSK3B, PGR, and SRC by 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione.\n\nID: 41158301\nTitle: Synergistic Wound Healing: Unraveling the Multi-Target Effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Its Biomaterials on Chronic Wound Pathways.\nAbstract: Chronic wounds, including diabetic ulcers (DUs), radiation-induced ulcers, and burns, present significant clinical challenges due to their distinct pathological mechanisms, necessitating tailored therapeutic strategies. Diabetic ulcers, characterized by impaired angiogenesis, persistent inflammation, and hyperglycemia, require dual modulation of inflammatory (NF-\u03baB) and pro-repair (PI3K/Akt, Nrf2) pathways. Radiation ulcers involve DNA damage, NLRP3-driven inflammation, and TGF-\u03b2/Smad-mediated fibrosis, while burns trigger acute inflammation via DAMPs/PAMPs-TLR/NLR activation. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and its bioactive components, such as\u00a0Scutellaria baicalensis, curcumin, and\u00a0Panax notoginseng, exhibit multi-target therapeutic effects by regulating oxidative stress, inflammation, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix remodeling through key pathways, including Nrf2/ARE, MAPK, NF-\u03baB, PI3K/Akt, HIF-1\u03b1/VEGF, Wnt/\u03b2-catenin, and TGF-\u03b2/Smad. Emerging supramolecular self-assembled biomaterials-nanofibrous scaffolds, hydrogels, and microneedles-address the hydrophobicity and low bioavailability of natural plant-derived macromolecules (NPHMs), enabling spatiotemporally controlled drug delivery. Innovative formulations, such as curcumin-loaded hydrogels and exosome-based systems, enhance antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic activities, accelerating wound closure. Despite progress, challenges remain in optimizing multifunctional co-assembly systems, elucidating NPHM self-assembly mechanisms, and developing smart biomaterials responsive to dynamic wound microenvironments. Future research should focus on clinical translation by improving material stability, refining stimulus-responsive release systems, and integrating interdisciplinary insights from herbal medicine, nanotechnology, and regenerative biology. This review systematically summarizes the mechanistic roles of TCM in wound healing, highlights advancements in bioactive material design, and outlines future directions to bridge traditional knowledge with modern therapeutic innovations, offering a scientific foundation for advancing chronic wound management.\n\nID: 42534522\nTitle: Ginseng-derived exosomes loaded in fibrin gel promote retinal ganglion cell survival in glaucoma by exerting anti-inflammatory effects through modulating microglial polarization.\nAbstract: Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally. Chronic neuroinflammation drives progressive retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss independent of intraocular pressure, yet safe, sustained and precise neuroprotective modulation of the retinal inflammatory microenvironment remains a significant challenge. We developed an injectable fibrin gel delivery system loaded with ginseng-derived exosomes (GE-fibrin gel, GE-gel) to modulate microglial polarization, reduce retinal inflammation and promote RGC survival. In vitro, GE showed strong antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects by getting rid of reactive oxygen species caused by oxidative stress and lowering apoptosis in R28 cells. Both GE and GE-gel stopped lipopolysaccharide from causing pro-inflammatory M1 polarization of microglia and increased anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypic change. Intravitreal injection of GE-gel suppressed pro-inflammatory microglial activation, diminished neuroinflammation and improved the survival of RGCs in a chronic ocular hypertension rat model. These results show that GE-gel could promote microglial polarization, change the immune environment in the retina and protect RGCs functionally over the long term. This approach may hopefully provide promising solutions for rapid and effective glaucoma therapy.\n\nID: 42207394\nTitle: The ginger-derived nanovesicles-coated albumin nanoparticles induce cell death and epigenetic regulation to treat colorectal cancer.\nAbstract: Due to the limitations of conventional cancer chemotherapy, including low bioavailability, limited indicators of therapeutic improvement, and unclear side effects, numerous laboratories have been actively engaged in the development of drug delivery systems. Here, we designed and synthesized a plant-derived ginger exosome-coated albumin nanoparticle drug delivery system (GEBSS) loaded with Shikonin (SHK) and STM2457 (a METTL3 inhibitor) and probes into the mechanism of antitumor. We prepared and characterized GEBSS nanoparticles and evaluated their in vitro cellular uptake and targeting capabilities. The in vitro antitumor efficacy was assessed by measuring cell viability, clonogenic formation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and apoptosis markers; biosafety was confirmed via a hemolysis assay. Furthermore, the ability of GEBSS to induce ICD was validated through Western blotting, ATP detection, and immunofluorescence assays, while its role in epigenetic regulation was elucidated using Dot Blot, MeRIP-qPCR, and RNA stability experiments. Finally, the in vivo antitumor effect of GEBSS was verified by intravenous administration in a nude mouse subcutaneous tumor model. A subsequent characterization revealed that GEBSS exhibited a concentrated size distribution around 142\u00a0nm, were efficiently absorbed by colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, and demonstrated inhibitory effects on tumor cell proliferation. In vivo experiments demonstrated excellent tumor-targeting ability, anti-tumor efficacy, and biocompatibility of GEBSS. Mechanistically, GEBSS induced apoptosis and immunogenic cell death (ICD) in tumor cells. Moreover, at the epigenetic regulation level, GEBSS suppressed cell proliferation by reducing the m6A methylation levels of immune checkpoint genes PD-L1 and CD47. This study explored the feasibility of producing naturally derived nanocarriers and, for the first time, employed a combination of SHK and STM2457 for CRC treatment, offering novel strategies and insights for nanomedicine in CRC treatment.\n\nID: 41628353\nTitle: Ginseng-Derived Exosomes-Loaded Thermosensitive Hydrogel for the Treatment of Periodontitis.\nAbstract: Periodontitis represents a persistent inflammatory condition marked by the irreversible destruction of the alveolar bone, eventually leading to tooth loss. The ideal treatment for periodontitis involves three key steps: antibacterial treatment, inflammation control, and periodontal regeneration, ultimately leading to the complete restoration of alveolar bone and the full recovery of periodontal function. However, current periodontitis treatments cannot comprehensively solve these issues. In this study, a ginseng-derived exosomes (GEXs)-loaded injectable hydrogel (GEXs@Gel) was designed. GEXs@Gel was thermosensitive with good fluidity, capable of conforming to the intricate contours of periodontal pockets, while withstanding the persistent wash of gingival crevicular fluid. In vitro studies showed that GEXs and GEXs@Gel can inhibit the growth of periodontal pathogenic bacteria, effectively remove biofilms, promote the polarization of macrophages to the anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype, and alleviate cellular oxidative stress. In particular, GEXs@Gel had the functions of promoting bone/angiogenesis and regeneration. In vivo studies showed that GEXs@Gel effectively inhibited inflammation, promoted alveolar bone regeneration, and effectively reversed periodontitis. In summary, GEXs@Gel offers a promising strategy for the treatment of periodontitis.\n\nID: 41135845\nTitle: Contact lenses eluting atorvastatin-loaded ginger-exosomes: mechanistic modulation of oxidative and inflammatory pathways in glaucoma management.\nAbstract: Improved strategies for glaucoma management are urgently required due to poor bioavailability and limited retention of conventional ocular therapeutics. This study presents a novel approach: integrating atorvastatin (ATOR)-loaded, ginger-derived exosomes (G-EX) into contact lenses to achieve sustained release and enhanced ocular penetration. Exosomes were isolated from ginger using polymer precipitation, characterised (average size \u2248 50.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04.3\u00a0nm; zeta potential\u00a0=\u00a0-23.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.2\u00a0mV), and efficiently loaded with ATOR (70\u00a0%). The ATOR@G-EX formulation was incorporated into contact lenses. Scanning electron and fluorescence microscopy confirmed uniform loading without altering lens structure. The lenses retained key properties, including high optical transmittance (96\u00a0%) and folding endurance (320 folds), supporting functional integrity and biocompatibility. In vitro assays showed controlled ATOR release (67\u00a0% in 2\u00a0h, gradual up to 48\u00a0h), following the Korsmeyer-Peppas model. Ex vivo, ATOR@G-EX lens markedly enhanced transcorneal permeation versus ATOR lens. In vitro cellular studies revealed higher fibroblast viability, faster migration, and 3-4-fold uptake improvement. HET-CAM confirmed minimal ocular irritation. In vivo, ATOR@G-EX lens produced the most pronounced and sustained IOP reduction in the steroid-induced glaucoma rabbit model, with a strong in vitro-in vivo correlation between permeation and efficacy. Treatment restored antioxidant enzyme (GPx 7.4 U/mL versus 3.2 U/mL in untreated positive group), normalised cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-6), and modulated glaucoma markers (upregulated NRF2; downregulated IL-1\u03b2, TIMP, MYOC). Histology confirmed retinal neuroprotection and tissue recovery. In conclusion, this bioinspired ATOR@G-EX-loaded contact lenses show high safety, functionality, and compliance potential, providing a promising platform for patient-friendly ocular therapeutics and future clinical translation.\n\nID: 41025166\nTitle: Hepatic-Targeted Liposomes-Ginger-Derived Exosomes Hybrid Nanocarrier for Synergistic Alleviation of Obesity-Induced Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis.\nAbstract: Continued consumption of a high-calorie diet results in the excessive accumulation of lipids in visceral adipose tissue, thereby increasing the risk of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Herein, ginger-derived exosomes (G-Exos) loaded with berberine (G-Exos@B) to facilitate targeted delivery to the liver through the formation of GR-Exos@B via the coalescence of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)-introduced liposomes (RAL) for effective NASH intervention are developed. The introduction of G-Exos significantly equipped GR-Exos@B to effectively overcome the multi-intestinal barrier, facilitating their exit from the cell in an intact form. Interestingly, the hepatic-targeting of RAL allowed GR-Exos to penetrate the liver more effectively than G-Exos, resulting in 2.39-fold greater accumulation in the liver. In vivo experiments revealed that dual ROS depletion by berberine and GR-Exos synergistically enhanced the therapeutic effect against inhibited oxidative stress and hepatocellular steatosis compared to GR-Exos. Additionally, the macrophage-targeting capability of G-Exos is leveraged to suppress the activation of hepatic NLRP3 inflammasome complexes, transitioning from an M1 pro-inflammatory to an M2 anti-inflammatory state, which helped diminish hepatic macrophage levels and subsequently reduce lipid accumulation. Meanwhile, GR-Exos@B improved insulin sensitivity primarily by strengthening the AMPK/AKT/IRS-1 signaling pathway and inhibiting GSK3-\u03b2 function. Hence, GR-Exos@B shows promise as a potential strategy for alleviating obesity-induced NASH therapy.\n\nID: 40636311\nTitle: Exosome-Like Nanoparticles from Indonesian Red and Emprit Ginger Varieties Suppress LPS-Induced IL-6 Production in RAW 264.7 Macrophages.\nAbstract: Studies have shown the potential of exosomes as therapeutic agents with anti-inflammatory properties. However, the clinical application of mammalian-derived exosomes is hindered by mass production challenges and strict regulations. Plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs) are a more economical alternative possessing a similar therapeutic potential. Ginger is a readily available plant with components that are clinically proven to inhibit inflammation. Therefore, it is interesting to investigate the potential of red ginger and emprit ginger, cultivated varieties in Indonesia possessing the most potent anti-inflammatory activities, as a PELN source for anti-inflammatory therapy. In this work, PELNs from the rhizomes of red ginger (RG-ELN) and emprit ginger (EG-ELN) were obtained through differential centrifugation and polymer precipitation using PEG6000. The PELNs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and bicinchoninic acid assay. Their internalization and effect on RAW 246.7 cell viability were also assessed. The anti-inflammatory potential of PELNs was investigated by assessing interleukin 6 (IL-6) expression of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages treated with RG-ELN and EG-ELN. Both RG-ELN and EG-ELN exhibited cup-shaped morphologies with average sizes of 195.83\u00b11.35 and 194.40\u00b18.40 nm, respectively. Both PELNs can be internalized within 2 h and did not significantly affect RAW 264.7 cell viability after 24 h. The reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results indicated a significantly lower expression and secretion of IL-6 in the macrophage cells pre-treated with RG-ELN and EG-ELN. The RG-ELN and EG-ELN samples were successfully obtained through the polymer precipitation method, as confirmed by the TEM and DLS results which aligned with typical PELN characteristics. The pre-treatment of RG-ELN and EG-ELN to activated RAW 264.7 cells decreased the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 expression relative to activated controls.\n\nID: 40585387\nTitle: Multifunctional DNA hydrogels with light-triggered gas-therapy and controlled G-Exos release for infected wound healing.\nAbstract: Infectious wound healing remains a significant medical challenge due to chronic inflammation and bacterial colonization. Effective antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory therapies are essential to facilitate wound recovery. Herein, we introduce a highly biocompatible, ROS-responsive DNA hydrogel (LGAH), modified with aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgen) and incorporating ginseng-derived exosomes (G-Exos) and nitric oxide (NO) donor-L-arginine (L-Arg) to promote healing of infected wounds. The hydrogel degrades in response to elevated ROS levels, releasing therapeutic agents. Upon laser irradiation, AIEgen generates 1O2, which activates L-Arg to produce NO, leading to a synergistic antimicrobial effect. NO is particularly effective at inhibiting bacterial growth and promoting angiogenesis, supporting wound healing. G-Exos modulate immune responses, reduce inflammation, and promote the transition from the inflammatory to the proliferative phase. They also enhance cell proliferation, migration, and collagen production, which are key to tissue regeneration. In vivo experiments demonstrated that LGAH significantly accelerates S. aureus-infected wound healing by modulating the wound microenvironment and promoting tissue regeneration. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that LGAH down-regulates gene expression in inflammation and immune response signaling pathways while up-regulating genes related to energy metabolism. Biosafety evaluations at cellular and animal levels have demonstrated that LGAH possesses excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, making it ideal for tissue repair and regeneration. This multifunctional DNA hydrogel system offers a safe and promising strategy for the clinical treatment of infected wounds.\n\nID: 40121965\nTitle: Edible ginseng-derived exosomes as drug delivery vehicles reduce the dose and improve the anti-cancer effect of CDDP.\nAbstract: Nanotechnology and nanomaterials have emerged as promising tools for the delivery of anti-tumor drug cisplatin (CDDP). However, concerns exist regarding potential toxicity and cost-effectiveness, limiting their clinical applications. In contrast, plant-derived exosomes (PDEs), as natural nanovesicles, offer significant advantages as drug delivery carriers due to their large-scale production, biocompatibility, and ability to efficiently transport therapeutic drug across cellular barriers. In this work, we established a ginseng-derived exosome (G-Exo)-based CDDP delivery system (G-CDDP) and evaluated its anti-tumor efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. The results demonstrated that G-CDDP effectively targeted tumor site, inhibiting the proliferation and migration and promoting apoptosis in U-87MG tumor cells. Notably, the amount of CDDP in G-CDDP required for achieving the same cytotoxic effect on tumor cells was 12.66 times lower than that of free CDDP. In U-87MG tumor-bearing mice, G-CDDP effectively targeted tumor sites and exhibited significant therapeutic effect. Collectively, these findings highlight the potent anti-tumor activity of G-CDDP at reduced CDDP dosage, positioning it as a promising and efficient alternative to conventional drug treatments in clinical settings.\n\nID: 40097886\nTitle: The role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the protective effect of ginger derived extracellular vesicles on hepatic stellate cells against cytotoxicity.\nAbstract: Previous studies have shown that ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (Gin-EVs) can alleviate alcohol-induced liver injury. It remained unknown and needs to be further verified that whether the vesicles has therapeutic potential to alleviate the progression of liver fibrosis. Moreover, the relevant mechanisms need to be further studied. Herein, we provide evidence that Gin-EVs effectively interact with human hepatic stellate cells (LX-2), offering protection against carbon tetrachloride (CCL4) or lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced liver fibrosis. The treatment with Gin-EVs was observed to mitigate fibrosis and enhance cell viability in LX-2 cells exposed to CCL4 or LPS. Mechanistically, Gin-EVs counteracted mitochondrial dysfunction by restoring mitochondrial dynamics imbalance characterized by enhanced fusion and reduced fission events while promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, thereby potentially preventing fibrotic processes in LX-2 cells. Collectively, the findings highlight the direct cytoprotective effects of Gin-EVs on LX-2 cells and suggest their promising role as a therapeutic option for hepatic fibrosis.\n\nID: 39902066\nTitle: Ginger-Derived Exosome-Like Nanoparticles Loaded With Indocyanine Green Enhances Phototherapy Efficacy for Breast Cancer.\nAbstract: Phototherapy has remarkable advantages in cancer treatment, owing to its high efficiency and minimal invasiveness. Indocyanine green (ICG) plays an important role in photo-mediated therapy. However, it has several disadvantages such as poor stability in aqueous solutions, easy aggregation of molecules, and short plasma half-life. This study aimed to develop an efficient nanoplatform to enhance the effects of photo-mediated therapy. We developed a novel bio-nanoplatform by integrating edible ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDNPs) and the photosensitizer, ICG (GDNPs@ICG). GDNPs were isolated from ginger juice and loaded with ICG by co-incubation. The size distribution, zeta potential, morphology, total lipid content, and drug release behavior of the GDNPs@ICG were characterized. The photothermal performance, cellular uptake and distribution, cytotoxicity, anti-tumor effects, and mechanism of action of GDNPs@ICG were investigated both in vitro and in vivo. GDNPs@ICG were taken up by tumor cells via a lipid-dependent pathway. When irradiated by an 808 nm NIR laser, GDNPs@ICG generated high levels of ROS, MDA, and local hyperthermia within the tumor, which caused lipid peroxidation and ER stress, thus enhancing the photo-mediated breast tumor therapy effect. Furthermore, in vivo studies demonstrated that engineered GDNPs@ICG significantly inhibited breast tumor growth and presented limited toxicity. Moreover, by detecting the expression of CD31, N-cadherin, IL-6, IFN-\u03b3, CD8, p16, p21, and p53 in tumor tissues, we found that GDNPs@ICG substantially reduced angiogenesis, inhibited metastasis, activated the anti-tumor immune response, and promoted cell senescence in breast tumor. Our study demonstrated that the novel bio-nanoplatform GDNPs@ICG enhanced the photo-mediated therapeutic effect in breast tumor. GDNPs@ICG could be an alternative for precise and efficient anti-tumor phototherapy.\n\nID: 39569064\nTitle: Therapeutic Potential of Ginger Exosome-Like Nanoparticles for Alleviating Periodontitis-Induced Tissue Damage.\nAbstract: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory oral disease that causes defects in periodontal tissue. Conventional therapies are limited, and often lead to high recurrence rates. The emerging concept of medicinal food homology has shed light on the potential of ginger as a therapeutic adjuvant for periodontitis, given its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, fresh ginger exhibits poor stability and bioavailability. Ginger exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs), a derivative of ginger, have not been reported to exert therapeutic effects in periodontitis. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic effects of GELNs on tissue damage caused by periodontitis and their underlying mechanisms of action. The GELNs composition was analyzed using a widely targeted metabolome. Stability was assessed using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and zeta potential measurements, flavor was evaluated using an electronic nose, and membrane penetration was studied using confocal microscopy. A periodontitis model was established in SD rats, periodontal clinical indicators were monitored, and histological changes were assessed using H&E and TRAP staining. Co-culture experiments investigate the antioxidant and reparative abilities of GELNs on periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLFs) in inflammatory environment. NF-\u03baB protein expression was examined by immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry. The findings revealed that GELNs demonstrated good stability in different environments and mitigated the pungent taste of the raw ginger. In vivo experiments showed that GELNs improved periodontal clinical parameters and pathology compared with ginger juice. In vitro data suggested that GELNs enhanced the proliferation and migration of PDLFs while reducing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by inhibiting the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway in an inflammatory setting. This study is the first to demonstrate that GELNs have a potential therapeutic effect on periodontitis. GELNs can alleviate oxidative stress (OS) and inflammatory reactions by inhibiting the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. These findings provide a promising method for the treatment of periodontitis by regulating an unbalanced OS state.\n\nID: 38588850\nTitle: Ginger exosome-like nanoparticle-derived miRNA therapeutics: A strategic inhibitor of intestinal inflammation.\nAbstract: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) involve in destabilising messenger RNA or repressing translation of target molecules. Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) play a crucial role in modulating intestinal inflammation. Moreover, GELNs contain highly heterogeneous miRNA. However, the role of miRNAs derived from GELNs in immunomodulation remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular basis of the unique biological effects mediated by miRNA derived from GELNs on macrophages. GELNs were isolated using a combination of commercial exosome isolation kits and the differential centrifugation method, and the lipid composition of GELNs was determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Subsequently, PKH26 labelled GELNs were taken up by macrophages. Furthermore, the modulation of inflammatory and immune responses by GELNs or osa-miR164d was assessed through the RNA-seq, RT-qPCR, online databases, and dual luciferase reporter assays to explore the underlying mechanisms of osa-miR164d. Biomimetic exosomes loaded with osa-miR164d were prepared using a microfluidic mixing device and systematically characterized. The therapeutic effects of osa-miR164d on relieving colitis were evaluated. We report for the first time that GELNs-derived osa-miR164d is a regulatory factor of reprogramming macrophage polarization, thereby inhibiting the intestinal inflammatory response. Mechanistically, osa-miR164d directly targets the 3'-UTRs of TAB1, which regulates macrophage polarization through the downregulation of NF-\u03baB expression. In addition, We have designed a biomimetic exosome mimicking GELNs to deliver osa-miR164d (osa-miR164d-MGELNs). Notably, the osa-miR164d-MGELNs can efficiently reprogram macrophages to alleviate colitis-related symptoms. Our findings enhance the systematic understanding of how GELNs-derived osa-miR164d mediates cross-kingdom communication and provide an original engineering paradigm for mimicking GELNs to transfer miRNA.\n\nID: 37865333\nTitle: Ginger exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) induced apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and anti-metastatic effects in triple-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231\u00a0cells.\nAbstract: Ginger exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) have been extensively implicated in alleviating inflammation, maintaining intestinal microbiome and are considered competent drug delivery vehicles. Despite this, the current knowledge of the GELN interaction with cancer cells is limited. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), an aggressive variant lacking efficient therapeutics, necessitates novel natural counterparts with minimal side effects. This study investigates the action of GELNs isolated from ginger rhizomes against TNBC cells. GELNs were isolated by ultracentrifugation and characterized physicochemically. The interaction of GELNs with TNBC cells (MDA-MB-231) was studied in detail. The GELNs induced a concentration-dependent decrease in cell viability in MDA-MB-231\u00a0cells without affecting the normal cell lines tested. GELNs induced apoptosis as indicated by morphological changes, nuclear fragmentation, membrane damage, phosphatidyl serine translocation, ROS generation, drop in mitochondrial membrane potential, expression of apoptotic specific proteins, and increased caspase activity. GELNs also instigated cell cycle arrest, retarded cell migration and colony formation in TNBC cells. These findings report a novel action of GELNs against TNBC cells and a closer look at the underlying molecular mechanism of this interspecies communication. This opens newer prospects for using dietary ELNs to target therapeutically challenging cancers.\n\nID: 37720571\nTitle: Amelioration of colitis progression by ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles through suppression of inflammatory cytokines.\nAbstract: Damage to the healthy intestinal epithelial layer and regulation of the intestinal immune system, closely interrelated, are considered pivotal parts of the curative treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Plant-based diets and phytochemicals can support the immune microenvironment in the intestinal epithelial barrier for a balanced immune system by improving the intestinal microecological balance and may have therapeutic potential in colitis. However, there have been only a few reports on the therapeutic potential of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PENs) and the underlying mechanism in colitis. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic effect of PENs from Panax ginseng, ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs), in a mouse model of IBD, with a focus on the intestinal immune microenvironment. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of GENs on acute colitis, we treated GENs in Caco2 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced RAW 264.7 macrophages and analyzed the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and IL-10 by real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Furthermore, we further examined bacterial DNA from feces and determined the alteration of gut microbiota composition in DSS-induced colitis mice after administration of GENs through 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. GENs with low toxicity showed a long-lasting intestinal retention effect for 48 h, which could lead to effective suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 production through inhibition of NF-\u03baB in DSS-induced colitis. As a result, it showed longer colon length and suppressed thickening of the colon wall in the mice treated with GENs. Due to the amelioration of the progression of DSS-induced colitis with GENs treatment, the prolonged survival rate was observed for 17 days compared to 9 days in the PBS-treated group. In the gut microbiota analysis, the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidota was decreased, which means GENs have therapeutic effectiveness against IBD. Ingesting GENs would be expected to slow colitis progression, strengthen the gut microbiota, and maintain gut homeostasis by preventing bacterial dysbiosis. GENs have a therapeutic effect on colitis through modulation of the intestinal microbiota and immune microenvironment. GENs not only ameliorate the inflammation in the damaged intestine by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines but also help balance the microbiota on the intestinal barrier and thereby improve the digestive system.\n\nID: 37542285\nTitle: Anti-glioma effect of ginseng-derived exosomes-like nanoparticles by active blood-brain-barrier penetration and tumor microenvironment modulation.\nAbstract: Inhibition of tumor growth and normalization of immune responses in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are critical issues for improving cancer therapy. However, in the treatment of glioma, effective nanomedicine has limited access to the brain because of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Previously, we demonstrated nano-sized ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs) consisting of phospholipids including various bioactive components, and evaluated anti-tumor immune responses in T cells and Tregs to inhibit tumor progression. It was found that the enhanced targeting ability of GENs to the BBB and glioma induced a significant therapeutic effect and exhibited strong efficacy in recruiting M1 macrophage expression in the TME. GENs were demonstrated to be successful candidates in glioma therapeutics both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting excellent potential for inhibiting glioma progression and regulating tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs).\n\nID: 35261246\nTitle: Characterization of the MicroRNA Profile of Ginger Exosome-like Nanoparticles and Their Anti-Inflammatory Effects in Intestinal Caco-2 Cells.\nAbstract: Plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs) have been shown to enter mammalian cells for disease treatment. Although abundant miRNAs are contained in ginger exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs), little is known about their type and function. Herein, we extracted GELNs with desirable particle sizes (156 \u00b1 36 nm) and a negative surface charge (-26.6 \u00b1 5 mV). The miRNA profiles in ginger and GELNs were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing, and the results of the sequencing were validated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). There were 27 miRNAs with higher expression levels in the GELNs, and they were mainly involved in the regulation of inflammatory and cancer-related pathways. Furthermore, GELNs could be specifically internalized by intestine cells via caveolin-mediated endocytosis and micropinocytosis, as well as counteract lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation by downregulating NF-\u03ba\u03b2, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-\u03b1 expression. Importantly, the positive effects were further proved to be possibly related to the miRNAs enriched in the GELNs. Overall, these results indicated that PELNs could target human digestive organs and play a cross-kingdom physiological regulation role through miRNAs.\n\nID: 33668388\nTitle: Panax ginseng-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Facilitate Anti-Senescence Effects in Human Skin Cells: An Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Way to Use Ginseng Substances.\nAbstract: Ginseng is a traditional herbal medicine in eastern Asian countries. Most active constituents in ginseng are prepared via fermentation or organic acid pretreatment. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by most organisms from prokaryotes to eukaryotes and play central roles in intra- and inter-species communications. Plants produce EVs upon exposure to microbes; however, their direct functions and utility for human health are barely known, except for being proposed as delivery vehicles. In this study, we isolated EVs from ginseng roots (GrEVs) or the culture supernatants of ginseng cells (GcEVs) derived from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer and investigated their biological effects on human skin cells. GrEV or GcEV treatments improved the replicative senescent or senescence-associated pigmented phenotypes of human dermal fibroblasts or ultraviolet B radiation-treated human melanocytes, respectively, by downregulating senescence-associated molecules and/or melanogenesis-related proteins. Based on comprehensive lipidomic analysis using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, the lipidomic profile of GrEVs differed from that of the parental root extracts, showing significant increases in 70 of 188 identified lipid species and prominent increases in diacylglycerols, some phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, lysophosphatidylcholine), and sphingomyelin, revealing their unique vesicular properties. Therefore, our results imply that GEVs represent a novel type of bioactive and sustainable nanomaterials that can be applied to human tissues for improving tissue conditions and targeted delivery of active constituents.\n\nID: 32782915\nTitle: Preparation and Characterization of Ginger Lipid-derived Nanoparticles for Colon-targeted siRNA Delivery.\nAbstract: Synthetic nanoparticle-based drug delivery system is widely known for its ability to increase the efficacy and specificity of loaded drugs, but it often suffers from relatively higher immunotoxicity and higher costs as compared to traditional drug formulations. Contrarily, plant-derived nanoparticles appear to be free from these limitations of synthetic nanoparticles; they are naturally occurring biocompatible vesicles that do not generate immunotoxicity and are easy to obtain. Additionally, lipids isolated from plant-derived nanoparticles have shown the capability of assembling themselves to spherical nano-sized liposomal particles. Herein, we employ lipids extracted from ginger-derived nanoparticles and load them with therapeutic siRNA (CD98-siRNA) to create CD98-siRNA/ginger-lipid nanoparticles. Characterization of the CD98-siRNA/ginger-lipid nanoparticles showed that they present a spherical shape, with a diameter of around 189.5 nm. The surface zeta potential of the nanoparticles varies from -18.1 to -18.4 mV. Furthermore, in recent research, the CD98-siRNA/ginger-lipid nanoparticles have shown specific colon targeting capability and excellent anti-inflammatory efficacy in a Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS) induced mouse model of colitis.\n\nID: 31038962\nTitle: Exosome-like Nanoparticles from Ginger Rhizomes Inhibited NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation.\nAbstract: The nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat-containing family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a key regulator of innate immune responses, and its aberrant activation is implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes. Targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome could hold promise to combat these complex diseases, but therapies specifically inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome have not been developed for patient treatment. The current study aimed to identify food-borne exosome-like nanoparticles (ELNs) that inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activity. Nine vegetables or fruits were selected to extract ELNs, which were examined for their inhibitory effects on activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in primary macrophages. Although most of the tested ELNs posed minimal impacts, the ELNs from ginger rhizomes (G-ELNs) strongly inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation. The G-ELNs contained lipids, proteins, and RNAs and were easily taken up by macrophages. G-ELN treatment suppressed pathways downstream of inflammasome activation including caspase1 autocleavage, interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2 and IL-18 secretion, and pyroptotic cell death. Apoptotic speck protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC) oligomerization and speck formation assays indicated that G-ELNs blocked assembly of the NLRP3 inflammasome. The lipids in G-ELNs, rather than the RNAs or proteins, were responsible for the inhibitory activity observed. Together, the data suggested G-ELNs as new potent agents that block NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and activation. The unique features of G-ELNs including biomolecule protection and tissue bioavailability should facilitate the development of G-ELN-based therapy to target the NLRP3 inflammasome in the disease settings.\n\nID: 30279553\nTitle: Arrowtail RNA for Ligand Display on Ginger Exosome-like Nanovesicles to Systemic Deliver siRNA for Cancer Suppression.\nAbstract: Exosomes have shown increasing potential as delivery vesicles for therapy, but challenges like cost/yield, drug payload, and targeting specificity still exist. Plant derived exosome-like nanoparticles have been reported as a promising substitution and exhibit biocompatibility through oral, intranasal administration; however, systemic delivery of siRNA by exosome-like nanoparticles directly isolated from plants has not been reported. Recently, we reported the control of RNA orientation to decorate human derived exosome with cell targeting ligands for specific delivery of siRNA to tumors. Here, we expand to the application of arrowtail RNA nanoparticles for displaying ligands on ginger derived exosome-like nanovesicles (GDENs) for siRNA delivery and tumor inhibition through IV administration. Cushion ultracentrifugation coupled with equilibrium density gradient ultracentrifugation were used for purifying GDENs that displayed size, density, and morphology similar to human derived exosomes. Folic acid (FA), as a ligand, was displayed on the surface of GDENs for targeted delivery of survivin siRNA to KB cancer models. In vitro gene knockdown efficacy by FA-3WJ/GDENs/siRNA complex was comparable to transfection. We observed inhibition of tumor growth on a xenograft model by intravenous administration, which reveals the potential of GDENs as an economic delivery system for siRNA.\n\nID: 24842810\nTitle: Interspecies communication between plant and mouse gut host cells through edible plant derived exosome-like nanoparticles.\nAbstract: Exosomes, small vesicles participating in intercellular communication, have been extensively studied recently; however, the role of edible plant derived exosomes in interspecies communication has not been investigated. Here, we investigate the biological effects of edible plant derived exosome-like nanoparticles (EPDENs) on mammalian cells. In this study, exosome-like nanoparticles from four edible plants were isolated and characterized. We show that these EPDENs contain proteins, lipids, and microRNA. EPDENs are taken up by intestinal macrophages and stem cells. The results generated from EPDEN-transfected macrophages indicate that ginger EPDENs preferentially induce the expression of the antioxidation gene, heme oxygenase-1 and the anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10; whereas grapefruit, ginger, and carrot EPDENs promote activation of nuclear factor like (erythroid-derived 2). Furthermore, analysis of the intestines of canonical Wnt-reporter mice, i.e. B6.Cg-Tg(BAT-lacZ)3Picc/J mice, revealed that the numbers of \u03b2-galactosidase(+) (\u03b2-Gal) intestinal crypts are increased, suggesting that EPDEN treatment of mice leads to Wnt-mediated activation of the TCF4 transcription machinery in the crypts. The data suggest a role for EPDEN-mediated interspecies communication by inducing expression of genes for anti-inflammation cytokines, antioxidation, and activation of Wnt signaling, which are crucial for maintaining intestinal homeostasis.\n\nID: 42260763\nTitle: Green nanomedicine for cancer therapy.\nAbstract: Nanoparticles derived from various sources have been widely investigated as biological therapeutic agents and drug carriers for cancer treatment. Among them, plant-derived vesicle-like nanoparticles (PDVLNs) have attracted considerable interest because of their wide availability, high yield, and ease of preparation. PDVLNs are primarily produced via active secretory mechanisms in plant cells in response to specific physiological and environmental stimuli. They can cross biological barriers while retaining the bioactive components of their parent plants, thereby exhibiting the dual capabilities of drug delivery and biological regulation. Currently, in the field of cancer treatment, PDVLNs sourced from ginger, grapes, green tea, and Brucea javanica have been successfully applied in monotherapy, combination therapy, and targeted drug delivery. This review systematically summarizes recent advances and the underlying molecular mechanisms of PDVLNs in cancer treatment, with an emphasis on engineering strategies designed to improve their performance as drug delivery systems, including drug loading techniques, surface modification approaches, and membrane fusion methods. Furthermore, the potential applications of PDVLNs in precision medicine and clinical translation are explored. By synthesizing current research progress and outlining future directions, this review provides a systematic theoretical foundation and practical insights to support the development of safe, effective, and clinically feasible antitumor nanotherapeutic platforms.\n\nID: 42154395\nTitle: Plant-derived neuroprotective compounds and nanoformulations targeting Parkinson's disease: a semi-systematic review of mechanisms and therapeutic potential.\nAbstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by aggregates of \u03b1-synuclein and the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Current pharmaceutical therapies mainly alleviate symptoms without halting disease progression. Evidence suggests that traditional plant-based interventions may serve as supplementary therapies by targeting oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and apoptosis. This review explores the neuroprotective properties of ten medicinal plants commonly used in traditional medicine: Bacopa monnieri, Curcuma longa, Mimosa pudica, Zingiber officinale, Ocimum sanctum, Emblica officinalis, Camellia sinensis, Cannabis sativa, Panax ginseng, and Withania somnifera. A systematic and comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science identified relevant in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies. This study highlights the mechanisms by which plant-derived chemicals influence cellular pathways associated with PD, emphasising their therapeutic potential despite limited clinical validation. Studies have shown that bioactive compounds such as curcumin, bacoside, Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), cannabidiol, ginsenosides, and withanolides exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and neuroprotective effects in PD models. Nanotechnology offers promising strategy to enhance the efficacy of herbal compounds, addressing challenges of poor solubility, rapid metabolism, low bioavailability, and restricted blood-brain barrier penetration. Nano-delivery systems including liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, and metal nanoparticles can improve stability, brain targeting, controlled release, and cellular uptake of these bioactives, thereby enhancing therapeutic efficiency while reducing systemic toxicity. Green-synthesized plant-based nanoparticles further provide synergistic neuroprotective benefits, positioning phyto-nanomedicine as a multi-target approach for PD therapy. However, extensive clinical studies are required to confirm safety and effectiveness.\n\nID: 42148289\nTitle: Rehmannia glutinosa nanovesicles protect cardiomyoblasts from oxidative injury.\nAbstract: Aim: Oxidative stress is a key driver of cardiovascular disease, underscoring the need for safe and effective antioxidant therapies. This study aims to evaluate the cardioprotective potential of plant-derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) derived from Panax ginseng (Gin) and Rehmannia glutinosa (Glu) against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative injury in cardiac cells. Methods: PDNVs were isolated from medicinal plants via differential ultracentrifugation and characterized for morphology, diameter, stability, and cellular uptake. The antioxidant and cytoprotective effects were assessed in H2O2-injured cardiomyoblasts through cell viability, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH\u00b7) radical scavenging, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial superoxide detection, and antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase, SOD; glutathione peroxidase, GPx) activity assays. The composition of the PDNVs was determined through Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining for proteins, agarose gel electrophoresis for nucleic acids, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry system (LC-MS) for bioactive monomers. Results: Gin-PDNVs and Glu-PDNVs significantly enhanced cardiomyoblast viability under oxidative stress. Glu-PDNVs demonstrated superior efficacy at lower concentrations, with stronger ROS scavenging capacity. Compositional analysis revealed that Glu-PDNVs carry proteins, nucleic acids, and antioxidant herbal compounds such as catalpol, rehmannioside D, and acteoside. Glu-PDNVs also dose-dependently scavenged DPPH\u00b7 radicals, reduced mitochondrial superoxide accumulation, and significantly restored the H2O2-induced suppression of SOD and GPx activities. Conclusion: This study provides the first evidence that Glu-PDNVs exert potent cardioprotection by regulating ROS and superoxide homeostasis, positioning them as a promising natural nanotherapeutic platform with translational potential.\n\nID: 42112125\nTitle: Therapeutic potential of panax ginseng-derived nanovesicles in osteoporosis through enhanced osteoblast.\nAbstract: Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder caused by an imbalance between bone resorption and formation, which leads to reduced bone density and increased fracture risk. Plant-derived nanovesicles have emerged as safe, biocompatible biomaterials with therapeutic potential for bone regeneration. In this work, the biological effects of Panax ginseng-derived nanovesicles (PNVs) were evaluated with a focus on osteoblast differentiation, bone formation, and mineralization. PNVs were successfully isolated, characterized, and tested for their osteogenic capacity using MC3T3-E1 cells, mouse primary osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. Treatment with PNVs (0-10\u00a0\u03bcg/mL) for 3 or 7 days markedly promoted osteoblastic maturation and matrix mineral deposition, as confirmed by Alizarin-red and Von Kossa staining. In addition, PNVs exposure upregulated key osteogenic genes, including Runx2, ALP, and OPN, while activating major signaling cascades such as BMP2/4 and phosphorylated p38, implying their involvement in osteogenic regulation. Moreover, in an ovariectomized (OVX) mouse model, oral administration of PNVs improved bone microarchitecture by stimulating osteoblast-driven bone regeneration and attenuating osteoclast-mediated bone degradation. Collectively, our findings indicate that PNVs promote osteoblast differentiation and bone matrix formation, thereby enhancing mineralization and demonstrating their potential as a natural nanotherapeutic approach for osteoporosis prevention and treatment.\n\nID: 40846023\nTitle: Mango ginger-derived exosome-like nanovesicles promotes diabetic wound healing via inducing the promigratory protein, follistatin-like 1.\nAbstract: Chronic non-healing wounds are major threat in diabetes leading to lower extremity amputation. Lack of keratinocyte migration over the wound bed is a causal factor for non-healing wounds. Topical therapeutics with pro-migratory growth factors faces limited success due to the protease rich wound milieu. Plant-derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) are exosome-mimetic vesicles isolated from edible plants with bioavailable presence of several key plant bioactives with therapeutic value. Herein, using in vitro scratch wound model to mimic keratinocyte migration, we screened a panel of seven PDNVs from Zingiberaceae and Citrus plants and found Mango ginger-derived PDNVs (MGDNV) to promote wound healing in vitro. In streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice model, topical application of MGDNVs, formulated as hydrogel, rescued delayed wound healing caused by diabetes. Mechanistically, MGDNVs promote keratinocyte migration via induction of follistatin-like 1 (FSTL1) protein both in vitro and in vivo. FSTL1 is a key pro-migratory factor expressed in healing wounds, and failure to induce FSTL1 in keratinocytes leads to lack of cell migration in diabetic wounds. Considering MGDNVs also displayed percutaneous penetration in porcine skin, which is similar to human skin, and exhibited immunomodulatory properties, MGDNVs could be natural and cost-effective topical alternative to conventional biological agents for the treatment of chronic wounds.\n\nID: 40203921\nTitle: Enhanced therapeutic effects of ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles loaded hyaluronic acid injectable hydrogels for breast tumor treatment.\nAbstract: Ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs) have been considered as new candidates for tumor therapy. However, maintaining the retention and stability of exosomes in vivo is a major challenge in clinical application of GENs. Here, we prepared hydrogels using modified hyaluronic acid (HA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS). We investigated whether the combination of GENs with hydrogels could improve the stability of GENs and enhance their retention in tumor tissues, thereby enhancing their tumor therapeutic effect. In vitro experiments showed that hydrogels significantly increased the uptake of GENs by cells and increased tumor apoptosis rate. In vivo experiments showed that hydrogels significantly increased the retention of GENs in tumor tissues and improved the antitumor ability of GENs. Meanwhile, we evaluated the anti-tumor mechanism of GENs. The results showed that GENs and GENs@Hydrogels induced 4T1 cell apoptosis through the PTEN/PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway and caspase-dependent pathway. In addition, GENs and GENs@Hydrogels down-regulate PD-L1 level in tumor tissues, up-regulate MHC-I level, and increase the abundance of CD8+T cells, which have immune regulation ability. In conclusion, GENs@Hydrogels has been shown to be a successful candidate for the treatment of breast cancer (BC) with its promising potential to modulate immunity and inhibit tumor progression.\n\nID: 39849554\nTitle: Folic acid-modified ginger-derived extracellular vesicles for targeted treatment of rheumatoid arthritis by remodeling immune microenvironment via the PI3K-AKT pathway.\nAbstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a form of autoimmune inflammation, is marked by enduring synovial inflammation and the subsequent impairment of joint function. Despite the availability of conventional treatments, they are often marred by significant side effects and the associated high costs. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) offer a compelling alternative, owing to their abundant availability, affordability, low immunogenicity, high biocompatibility, and feasibility for large-scale production. These vesicles enhance intercellular communication by transferring intrinsic bioactive molecules. In our research, we delve into the capacity of PEVs to treat RA, highlighting the role of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEVs). By conjugating GDEVs with folic acid (FA), we have developed FA-GDEVs that maintain their inherent immunomodulatory properties. FA-GDEVs are designed to selectively target M1 macrophages in inflamed joints via the folate receptors (FRs). Our in vitro findings indicate that FA-GDEVs promote the polarization towards a reparative M2 macrophage phenotype by modulating the PI3K-AKT pathway. Further corroboration comes from in vivo studies, which demonstrate that FA-GDEVs not only concentrate efficiently in the affected joints but also markedly reduce the manifestations of RA. Synthesizing these findings, it is evident that FA-GDEVs emerge as a hopeful candidate for RA treatment, offering benefits such as safety, affordability, and therapeutic efficacy.\n\nID: 39834559\nTitle: Formulation, characterization, and evaluation of curcumin-loaded ginger-derived nanovesicles for anti-colitis activity.\nAbstract: Plant-derived nanovesicles have gained attention given their similarity to mammalian exosomes and advantages such as low cost, sustainability, and tissue targeting. Thus, they hold promise for disease treatment and drug delivery. In this study, we proposed a time-efficient method, PEG 8000 combined with sucrose density gradient centrifugation to prepare ginger-derived nanovesicles (GDNVs). Subsequently, curcumin (CUR) was loaded onto GDNV by ultrasonic incubation. The optimum conditions for ginger-derived nanovesicles loaded with curcumin (CG) were ultrasound time of 3\u00a0min, a carrier-to-drug ratio (GDNV:CUR) of 1:1. The study achieved a high loading capacity (94.027%\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.094%) and encapsulation efficiency (89.300%\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.344%). Finally, the drugs' in\u00a0vivo distribution and anti-colitis activity were investigated in mice. CG was primarily distributed in the colon after oral administration. Compared to CUR and GDNV, CG was superior in improving disease activity, colon length, liver and spleen coefficients, myeloperoxidase activity, and biochemical factor levels in ulcerative colitis (UC) mice. In addition, CG plays a protective role against UC by modulating serum metabolite levels and gut flora. In summary, our study demonstrated that GDNV can be used for CUR delivery with enhanced therapeutic potential.\n\nID: 39737211\nTitle: Lipidomic analysis of plant-derived extracellular vesicles for guidance of potential anti-cancer therapy.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) have been regarded as a superior source for nanomedicine and drug delivery systems. Nevertheless, their clinical translation is hindered by the lack of clarity and even contradiction in their biomedical applications. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive compositional analysis of four commonly used PEVs to fully understand their functional lipid contents and assess their potential therapeutic applications. The lipidomic analysis revealed the presence of cytotoxic gingerols and shogaols in ginger-derived EVs (GEVs). Subsequent in vitro and in vivo investigations substantiated the remarkable tumor cell inhibitory and tumor growth suppression efficacy of GEVs. The transcriptomic analysis indicated that GEVs regulate the cell cycle and p53 signaling pathways, thereby inducing cancer cell apoptosis. The supplementary proteomic analysis suggested the potential protein markers in PEV research. These findings highlight the value of multi-omics analyses in elucidating the potential therapeutic effects of PEVs and in advancing the development of PEV-based therapies.\n\nID: 39513690\nTitle: Targeted Elimination of the Oral Pathogen to Overcome Chemoresistance of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Biologically Derived Nanotherapeutics.\nAbstract: Local oral microbiota are closely related to the tumorigenesis and therapeutic response of oral cancer. In this study, we have validated that oral commensal Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is highly responsible for chemoresistance and contributes to the poor therapeutic outcome of traditional chemotherapy. Accordingly, the biologically derived nanovesicles from ginger (GDNVs) with excellent P. gingivalis elimination ability are explored to transport the clinically used drug paclitaxel (PTX) for potentiating the therapeutic efficiency. Taking advantage of active targeting and inhibition abilities of GDNVs against P. gingivalis, the PTX-loaded GDNVs nanosystem (P-GDNVs) can enrich in the P. gingivalis-colonized tumor tissues and effectively inhibit the growth of P. gingivalis for downregulating the IL-6/pSTAT3/P-gp pathway, thereby reducing the efflux of intracellular drugs to overcome chemoresistance. By evaluating both P. gingivalis-infected tumor cells and P. gingivalis-infiltrated tumor-bearing mice, P-GDNVs show a much enhanced tumor cell killing effect, as compared with free PTX. This naturally occurring nanotherapeutic system represents an effective bioactive material for targeted elimination of host microbiota to boost therapeutic response, showing great promise to combat commensal microbiota-rich tumors.\n\nID: 38401661\nTitle: Lizhong decoction ameliorates ulcerative colitis by inhibiting ferroptosis of enterocytes via the Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway.\nAbstract: Traditional herbal medicines have been considered as a novel and effective way to treat many diseases. Lizhong decoction (LZD), a classical prescription composed of Zingiber officinale Rosc., Panax ginseng C. A. Mey., Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz., and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch., has been used to treat gastrointestinal disorders in clinical practices for thousands of years. However, the mechanism of LZD in alleviating ulcerative colitis (UC) is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to clarify the potential molecular mechanism of LZD in improving UC. The amelioration of LZD on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced UC mice was evaluated by body weight, colon length, pathology of colon tissues, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and intestinal tight junction (TJ) proteins. Moreover, the gene expression profiles of UC patients were extracted to investigate potential pathological mechanisms of UC. The influence of LZD on ferroptosis was analyzed by iron load, malondialdehyde (MDA), and the expression of ferroptosis-associated proteins. Meanwhile, the inhibition of LZD on oxidative stress (OS) was assessed by the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, as well as the expression levels of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione disulfide (GSSG). Furthermore, the influence of LZD on ferroptosis was assessed by inhibiting nuclear factor (erythroid-derived-2)-like 2 (Nrf2). LZD showed significant therapeutic effects in UC mice, including reduction of intestinal injury and inflammation. Moreover, LZD treatment notably upregulated the expression of TJ proteins. Further investigation indicated that LZD significantly inhibited the ferroptosis of enterocytes by decreasing iron load and MDA, and increasing the expression levels of solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) in colon tissues. Furthermore, the decreased activity of SOD, reduced level of GSH, and increased content of GSSG in UC mice were notably reversed by LZD. Consistent with in vivo results, LZD could markedly inhibit ferroptosis and OS in RSL3-induced Caco-2\u00a0cells. Mechanistically, LZD alleviated ferroptosis by suppressing OS through the activation of Nrf2 signaling. Collectively, LZD remarkably improved intestinal pathological injury in UC mice, and its potential mechanism was the suppression of ferroptosis in enterocytes by the Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway.\n\nID: 36714697\nTitle: Isolation of high-purity and high-stability exosomes from ginseng.\nAbstract: Exosomes are nano-sized extracellular vesicles that regulate cell growth and defense by delivering bioactive cellular constituents. They are a promising material for biomedical and cosmetic utilization, especially in medicinal crops such as ginseng. One main hurdle to their usage is the need for a method to isolate stable exosomes with high purity. In this study, we first tested two methods to isolate exosomes from ginseng: ultracentrifugation, the most widely used method; and the ExoQuick system, a polymer-based exosome precipitation approach. We also designed and tested a third method in which we combined ultracentrifugation and ExoQuick methods. Size distribution analysis revealed that the exosome isolation purity by the ultracentrifugation and ExoQuick methods alone were 34.1% and 59.7%, respectively, while the combination method greatly improved exosome isolation purity (83.3%). Furthermore, we found that the combination method also increases the colloidal stability of isolated ginseng exosomes, and the increase was almost double that of the ultracentrifugation method. Lastly, we showed that the combination method can also be used to isolate high-purity and high-stability exosomes from the model plant Arabidopsis. Overall, our findings indicate that the combination method is suitable to isolate high-purity and high-stability exosomes from plants including ginseng.\n\nID: 21919844\nTitle: Clinical herbal interactions with conventional drugs: from molecules to maladies.\nAbstract: Clinical studies and case reports have identified a number of herb-drug interactions potentiated by the concurrent use of herbal medicines with prescription drugs. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the mechanisms and clinical implications of such herb-drug interactions by reviewing published human studies. Both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic components may be involved in herbdrug interactions, although metabolic induction or inhibition is a common underlying mechanism for many herb-drug interactions. Drugs that have a high potential to interact with herbal medicines usually have a narrow therapeutic index, including warfarin, digoxin, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, amitriptyline, midazolam, indinavir, and irinotecan. Many of them are substrates of cytochrome P450s (CYPs) and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Herbal medicines that are reported to interact with drugs include garlic (Allium sativum), ginger (Zingiber officinale), ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba), ginseng (Panax ginseng), and St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum). For example, garlic has been shown to increase the clotting time and international normalized ratio (INR) of warfarin, cause hypoglycaemia when taken with chlorpropamide, and reduce the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximum concentration of saquinavir in humans. Similarly, case reports have demonstrated that ginkgo may potentiate bleeding when combined with warfarin or aspirin, increases blood pressure when combined with thiazide diuretics, and has even led to a coma when combined with trazodone, a serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor used to treat depression. Furthermore, ginseng reduced the blood levels of warfarin and alcohol as well as induced mania if taken concomitantly with phenelzine, a non-selective and irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor used as an antidepressant and anxiolytic agent. Lastly, multiple herb-drug interactions have been identified with St. John's wort that involve significantly reduced AUC and blood concentrations of warfarin, digoxin, indinavir, theophylline, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, amitriptyline, midazolam, and phenprocoumon. The clinical consequence of herb-drug interactions varies, from being well-tolerated to moderate or serious adverse reactions, or possibly life-threatening events. Undoubtedly, the early and timely identification of herb-drug interactions is imperative to prevent potentially dangerous clinical outcomes. Further well-designed studies are warranted to address the mechanisms and clinical significance of important herb-drug interactions.\n=======================================================\n\n### [CUSTOM DATAPOINTS]\nCRITICAL EXTRACTION DIRECTIVE: You MUST extract the following custom datapoints as root-level key/value pairs inside your final JSON block:\n- \"suggested_experiments\": generate 1-3 suggested experiments\n- \"suggested_studies\": generate 1-3 suggested studies\n- \"swansons_literature_based_discovery_candidates\": You are an advanced Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) system executing Swanson\u2019s complementary-but-disjoint (A-B-C) model.

While surface engineering can enhance tissue accumulation, strategies that preserve biocompatibility and enable scalable production remain limited. Here, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs). The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein. This specific composition drives their tissue-specific accumulation in the intestine and liver and potentiates clathrin-dependent cellular uptake in intestinal cells by 8.57-fold. Beyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform. When loaded with tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) small interfering RNA, they enable a synergistic therapy that combines innate anti-inflammatory activity with targeted gene silencing of TNF-\u03b1, showing potent efficacy in colitis. Our findings position boiling as a natural strategy for enhancing the bioactivity and targeted oral delivery potential of GEVs.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42548959 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 33668388 for the quote: \"GrEV or GcEV treatments improved the replicative senescent or senescence-associated pigmented phenotypes of human dermal fibroblasts or ultraviolet B radiation-treated human melanocytes.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Most active constituents in ginseng are prepared via fermentation or organic acid pretreatment. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by most organisms from prokaryotes to eukaryotes and play central roles in intra- and inter-species communications. Plants produce EVs upon exposure to microbes; however, their direct functions and utility for human health are barely known, except for being proposed as delivery vehicles. In this study, we isolated EVs from ginseng roots (GrEVs) or the culture supernatants of ginseng cells (GcEVs) derived from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer and investigated their biological effects on human skin cells. GrEV or GcEV treatments improved the replicative senescent or senescence-associated pigmented phenotypes of human dermal fibroblasts or ultraviolet B radiation-treated human melanocytes, respectively, by downregulating senescence-associated molecules and/or melanogenesis-related proteins. Based on comprehensive lipidomic analysis using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, the lipidomic profile of GrEVs differed from that of the parental root extracts, showing significant increases in 70 of 188 identified lipid species and prominent increases in diacylglycerols, some phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, lysophosphatidylcholine), and sphingomyelin, revealing their unique vesicular properties. Therefore, our results imply that GEVs represent a novel type of bioactive and sustainable nanomaterials that can be applied to human tissues for improving tissue conditions and targeted delivery of active constituents.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 33668388 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein.\" (Source: 42548959)\n- \"Among 1202 lipids, 88 were differentially abundant (VIP >1.2, p < 0.05), and 36 correlated with internalization (|\u03c1| > 0.65, p < 0.05).\" (Source: 41703861)\n- \"Nanoparticle measurements and electron microscopy revealed vesicle-like structures consistent with the known characteristics of exosomes, and proteomic analysis supported their biochemical identity.\" (Source: 41985257)\n- \"Mechanistically, WGPA selectively activated intestinal Tregs and enhanced the release of HSP70-enriched exosomes.\" (Source: 42061772)\n- \"We report for the first time that GELNs-derived osa-miR164d is a regulatory factor of reprogramming macrophage polarization, thereby inhibiting the intestinal inflammatory response.\" (Source: 38588850)\n- \"UC-isolated GELNs demonstrated the most potent anti-proliferative activity against the lung cancer cells.\" (Source: 41220417)\n- \"G-ELN treatment suppressed pathways downstream of inflammasome activation including caspase1 autocleavage, interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2 and IL-18 secretion, and pyroptotic cell death.\" (Source: 31038962)\n- \"The lipids in G-ELNs, rather than the RNAs or proteins, were responsible for the inhibitory activity observed.\" (Source: 31038962)\n- \"GDEs significantly attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages by reducing toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) glycosylation, thereby inhibiting LPS binding.\" (Source: 41530048)\n- \"Conversely, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) expression increased by up to 53.8% (gene) and 47.9% (protein), implying activation of energy homeostasis signaling.\" (Source: 41507517)\n- \"Exosomes derived from Panax notoginseng promote the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs through the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.\" (Source: 41347179)\n- \"GEXs and GEXs@Gel can inhibit the growth of periodontal pathogenic bacteria, effectively remove biofilms, promote the polarization of macrophages to the anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype, and alleviate cellular oxidative stress.\" (Source: 41628353)\n- \"In vivo, ATOR@G-EX lens produced the most pronounced and sustained IOP reduction in the steroid-induced glaucoma rabbit model, with a strong in vitro-in vivo correlation between permeation and efficacy.\" (Source: 41135845)\n- \"Intravitreal injection of GE-gel suppressed pro-inflammatory microglial activation, diminished neuroinflammation and improved the survival of RGCs in a chronic ocular hypertension rat model.\" (Source: 42534522)\n- \"FA-GDEVs are designed to selectively target M1 macrophages in inflamed joints via the folate receptors (FRs).\" (Source: 39849554)\n- \"In vitro data suggested that GELNs enhanced the proliferation and migration of PDLFs while reducing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by inhibiting the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway in an inflammatory setting.\" (Source: 39569064)\n- \"GENs with low toxicity showed a long-lasting intestinal retention effect for 48 h, which could lead to effective suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 production through inhibition of NF-\u03baB in DSS-induced colitis.\" (Source: 37720571)\n- \"It was found that the enhanced targeting ability of GENs to the BBB and glioma induced a significant therapeutic effect and exhibited strong efficacy in recruiting M1 macrophage expression in the TME.\" (Source: 37542285)\n\n\nINSTRUCTION: Study the actual abstracts provided.

However, concerns exist regarding potential toxicity and cost-effectiveness, limiting their clinical applications. In contrast, plant-derived exosomes (PDEs), as natural nanovesicles, offer significant advantages as drug delivery carriers due to their large-scale production, biocompatibility, and ability to efficiently transport therapeutic drug across cellular barriers. In this work, we established a ginseng-derived exosome (G-Exo)-based CDDP delivery system (G-CDDP) and evaluated its anti-tumor efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. The results demonstrated that G-CDDP effectively targeted tumor site, inhibiting the proliferation and migration and promoting apoptosis in U-87MG tumor cells. Notably, the amount of CDDP in G-CDDP required for achieving the same cytotoxic effect on tumor cells was 12.66 times lower than that of free CDDP. In U-87MG tumor-bearing mice, G-CDDP effectively targeted tumor sites and exhibited significant therapeutic effect. Collectively, these findings highlight the potent anti-tumor activity of G-CDDP at reduced CDDP dosage, positioning it as a promising and efficient alternative to conventional drug treatments in clinical settings.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 40121965 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein.\" (Source: 42548959)\n- \"Among 1202 lipids, 88 were differentially abundant (VIP >1.2, p < 0.05), and 36 correlated with internalization (|\u03c1| > 0.65, p < 0.05).\" (Source: 41703861)\n- \"Nanoparticle measurements and electron microscopy revealed vesicle-like structures consistent with the known characteristics of exosomes, and proteomic analysis supported their biochemical identity.\" (Source: 41985257)\n- \"Mechanistically, WGPA selectively activated intestinal Tregs and enhanced the release of HSP70-enriched exosomes.\" (Source: 42061772)\n- \"We report for the first time that GELNs-derived osa-miR164d is a regulatory factor of reprogramming macrophage polarization, thereby inhibiting the intestinal inflammatory response.\" (Source: 38588850)\n- \"UC-isolated GELNs demonstrated the most potent anti-proliferative activity against the lung cancer cells.\" (Source: 41220417)\n- \"G-ELN treatment suppressed pathways downstream of inflammasome activation including caspase1 autocleavage, interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2 and IL-18 secretion, and pyroptotic cell death.\" (Source: 31038962)\n- \"The lipids in G-ELNs, rather than the RNAs or proteins, were responsible for the inhibitory activity observed.\" (Source: 31038962)\n- \"GDEs significantly attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages by reducing toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) glycosylation, thereby inhibiting LPS binding.\" (Source: 41530048)\n- \"Conversely, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) expression increased by up to 53.8% (gene) and 47.9% (protein), implying activation of energy homeostasis signaling.\" (Source: 41507517)\n- \"Exosomes derived from Panax notoginseng promote the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs through the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.\" (Source: 41347179)\n- \"GEXs and GEXs@Gel can inhibit the growth of periodontal pathogenic bacteria, effectively remove biofilms, promote the polarization of macrophages to the anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype, and alleviate cellular oxidative stress.\" (Source: 41628353)\n- \"In vivo, ATOR@G-EX lens produced the most pronounced and sustained IOP reduction in the steroid-induced glaucoma rabbit model, with a strong in vitro-in vivo correlation between permeation and efficacy.\" (Source: 41135845)\n- \"Intravitreal injection of GE-gel suppressed pro-inflammatory microglial activation, diminished neuroinflammation and improved the survival of RGCs in a chronic ocular hypertension rat model.\" (Source: 42534522)\n- \"FA-GDEVs are designed to selectively target M1 macrophages in inflamed joints via the folate receptors (FRs).\" (Source: 39849554)\n- \"In vitro data suggested that GELNs enhanced the proliferation and migration of PDLFs while reducing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by inhibiting the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway in an inflammatory setting.\" (Source: 39569064)\n- \"GENs with low toxicity showed a long-lasting intestinal retention effect for 48 h, which could lead to effective suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 production through inhibition of NF-\u03baB in DSS-induced colitis.\" (Source: 37720571)\n- \"It was found that the enhanced targeting ability of GENs to the BBB and glioma induced a significant therapeutic effect and exhibited strong efficacy in recruiting M1 macrophage expression in the TME.\" (Source: 37542285)\n- \"Interestingly, the hepatic-targeting of RAL allowed GR-Exos to penetrate the liver more effectively than G-Exos, resulting in 2.39-fold greater accumulation in the liver.\" (Source: 41025166)\n\n\nINSTRUCTION: Study the actual abstracts provided.

Ginger vesicles frequently show potent modulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and are highly utilized for targeting gut-related pathologies. Conversely, ginseng vesicles are prominently associated with systemic immunomodulatory effects, osteogenic differentiation, and neuroprotection.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThis assessment synthesizes evidence regarding plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) from ginger (*Zingiber officinale*) and ginseng (*Panax ginseng*). Both serve as biocompatible nanocarriers, yet their therapeutic utility varies based on source-specific biochemical cargo and specialized engineering for tissue-specific delivery.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nGinger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) are widely documented for their ability to cross biological barriers and mitigate inflammatory responses. Research confirms that GELNs modulate the NLRP3 inflammasome by blocking its assembly, specifically noting that the lipid components, rather than proteins or RNAs, mediate this inhibitory effect. Furthermore, GELNs are highly effective in cross-kingdom communication, evidenced by the delivery of miRNAs like osa-miR164d which reprogram macrophages to alleviate colitis. \n\nGinseng-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEs/GENs) similarly exhibit anti-inflammatory efficacy but are frequently highlighted for systemic benefits including neuroprotection, promotion of osteogenic differentiation via the PI3K/AKT pathway, and sensitization of cancer cells to chemotherapy. The literature highlights that boiling ginger vesicles produces T-GEVs with enhanced trafficking regulators, demonstrating that processing techniques fundamentally alter PDEV efficacy. Both platforms successfully leverage surface modifications (e.g., folic acid, hydrogels) to overcome pharmacokinetic bottlenecks, though their primary therapeutic axes reflect the distinct bioactive profiles of the parental plant tissue.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   **Boiling-induced reconfiguration:** Boiling ginger vesicles creates T-GEVs with enhanced clathrin-dependent uptake, increasing efficacy by 8.57-fold.\n*   **Lipid-driven inhibition:** In ginger, lipids are the primary bioactive agents responsible for suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome assembly.\n*   **Geographical and varietal influence:** Lipidomic profiling shows that ginger geographical variation significantly impacts B-cell internalization via chiral protein recognition.\n*   **Cross-kingdom miRNA:** Ginger vesicles utilize miRNAs (e.g., osa-miR164d) to target TAB1 in host cells, suppressing NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation.\n*   **Osteogenic capacity:** Ginseng vesicles exhibit unique regenerative potential, enhancing rBMSC differentiation via the PI3K/AKT pathway.\n*   **Sandwich-targeting:** Engineered ginger vesicles can establish Tf-mediated sandwich-like targeting interfaces to penetrate tumor-associated intestinal epithelium.\n*   **Storage requirements:** For ginger vesicles, -80\u00b0C is the optimal storage temperature to maintain long-term functional stability.\n*   **Intestinal retention:** Ginseng vesicles provide prolonged retention (up to 48 hours) in the intestinal tract.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

American ginseng is well known as a traditional herb and is commonly used in clinical decoctions. However, the nano-characteristics and chemical composition of American-ginseng-derived vesicle-like nanoparticles (AGVNs) in decoctions are unclear. In this study, the gradient centrifugation method was used to extract and isolate AGVNs. A metabolomic method based on high-resolution mass spectrometry was established to analyze small molecules loaded in AGVNs. Zebrafish and RAW264.7 cells were employed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of AGVNs. The results showed that the particle size of AGVNs was generally 243.6 nm, and the zeta potential was -14.5 mV.

Among the therapeutic agents investigated to modulate macrophage-driven inflammation, compounds extracted from the roots of Panax ginseng have been distinguished for their potent anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, attention has shifted toward ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDEs) because of their ability to encapsulate diverse bioactive compounds with high stability and biocompatibility. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of GDEs against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic shock, with a particular focus on macrophage-mediated mechanisms. GDEs isolated from Korean Panax ginseng exhibited a spherical morphology, high stability, and effective encapsulation of bioactive ginsenosides, including Rb1, Rg1, and Rg3. GDEs significantly attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages by reducing toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) glycosylation, thereby inhibiting LPS binding. This suppression of TLR4 glycosylation led to decreased production of nitric oxide and proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1\u03b2, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), as well as inhibition of intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation and NF-\u03baB activation. Furthermore, GDE treatment markedly improved survival and alleviated lung, liver, and spleen damage in an LPS-induced sepsis mouse model. In summary, these findings suggest that GDEs represent a promising nanomedicine strategy for sepsis prevention, offering targeted modulation of macrophage activity without apparent adverse effects."

Our study shows that fully natural ginger-derived exosomes (GEXO) effectively inhibited GBM progression through dual mechanisms: (a) direct activation of apoptotic pathways in GBM cells, and (b) induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) that transforms dead tumor cells into endogenous vaccines. Mechanistically, GEXO demonstrated superior blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration through clathrin-, caveolin- and macropinocytosis-mediated transcytosis, followed by tumor-specific accumulation via exocytosis. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that GEXO promoted an immunogenic shift in dying GBM cells, enhancing dendritic cell maturation and cytotoxic T-cell responses. In orthotopic GL261 and CT2A models, GEXO significantly prolonged survival without observable toxicity.

Nevertheless, the therapeutically active components responsible for its cardioprotective properties have not been fully elucidated. Extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (ELNs) have recently emerged as a promising class of natural nanocarriers with diverse applications in medicine and biology. However, it remains uncertain whether American Ginseng-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (AGELNs) exhibit cardioprotective effects. This investigation aims to analyze the effects of AGELNs on Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) and the mechanisms. Gradient ultracentrifugation was employed to isolate and purify AGELNs, while HPLC was employed for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of saponin molecules in AGELNs. Fluorescently labeled AGELNs were used to assess their uptake in cardiac tissue and cardiomyocytes. DIC models in mice and zebrafish were employed to evaluate the effect of AGELNs against DIC. Transcriptomics, RT-PCR, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and pharmacological agonist and antagonist treatments were used to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of AGELNs in vivo and in vitro. AGELNs significantly enhanced cardiac function in mice and zebrafish models, evidenced by increased fractional shortening (FS), stroke volume, heart rate, and pericardial sac areas. Concomitantly, AGELNs demonstrated pronounced cardiac accumulation in Dox-treated mice, zebrafish, and cardiomyocytes. Transcriptomic and cellular analyses demonstrated AGELNs attenuate DIC by suppressing lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Mechanistically, AGELNs predominantly inhibit cardiomyocyte ferroptosis by targeting GPX4 and activating the NRF2/HO-1/GPX4 pathway. Furthermore, the cardioprotective effect of AGELNs against DIC has been found to be closely linked to its specific combination of bioactive saponins, including Rb1, Rg1, Re, and Rd. AGELNs significantly mitigated DIC by activating GPX4 and suppressing cardiomyocyte ferroptosis in vitro and in vivo. These insights are valuable for the formulation of AGELNs therapies aimed at combating DIC."

These platforms combine exceptional biocompatibility, negligible immunogenicity, and renewable sourcing with tunable drug loading, targeted delivery, and controlled release properties. This review synthesizes translational advances from 2020 to 2026, covering scalable isolation/bioprocessing (bioreactors, elicitation), multi-parametric physicochemical/multi-omics characterization, rational engineering/hybridization, and rigorous in vitro/in vivo assessments of uptake, biodistribution, pharmacokinetic (PK), and efficacy. Phytosomes and PBNPs markedly enhance oral bioavailability and targeted delivery of lipophilic phytochemicals, while PDEVs offer unique immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and gene-regulatory activities. Hybrid and green-synthesized systems provide structural stability, redox modulation, and synergistic effects, and self-assembled/multifunctional composites address solubilization barriers with stimuli-responsive design. Early-phase human studies on grapefruit-, ginger-, turmeric-, and ginseng-derived PDEVs report excellent short-term safety, favorable PK, and preliminary bioactivity signals, with no observed immunogenicity or dose-limiting toxicities; however, these trials remain exploratory, constrained by small sample sizes and safety-focused endpoints. Despite challenges, including methodological heterogeneity, variable yields, long-term safety uncertainties (notably for inorganic hybrids), and regulatory ambiguities, emerging strategies such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-engineered plant line; artificial-intelligence-driven process optimization; standardized guidelines, and integrated clinical, intellectual property, and commercialization frameworks are progressively addressing these barriers.

Moreover, the discovery of novel drugs for glioblastoma has been limited hence drug repurposing has gained traction leveraging existing drugs like itraconazole. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have potential as a natural pharmaceutical delivery system owing to their therapeutic capabilities. These PDEVs may be a good candidate for blood-brain barrier permeation due to their biomolecular composition and high drug loading efficiency of itraconazole. In this work, PDEVs isolated from aloe aborescens (aloe), Zingiber officinale (ginger) and Nigella sativa seeds [black cumin seeds (BCS)] were compared in terms of their physicochemical properties, drug release kinetics, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake in glioblastoma cells and BBB permeability. Results All PDEVs displayed nanoscale sizes ranging from 103.5 to 141\u00a0nm with negative surface charge and a spherical morphological shape observed via SEM. The drug release kinetics was assessed using different mathematical models depicting the PDEVs prolonged drug release with <\u200950% releasing over 21 days. The cytotoxicity studies showed that the PDEVs resulted in a higher cell viability in the non-cancerous cell line compared to A172 glioblastoma cell line. The cellular internalization of the drug showed poor uptake of blank PDEVs compared to loaded PDEVs in glioblastoma cells. The BBB permeability test showed that ginger and aloe EVs permeated the BBB whilst BCS blank and loaded EVs did not permeate the BBB. Conclusions This delivery system improves the ability of plant-derived extracellular vesicles to cross the blood-brain barrier, addressing a key challenge in delivering treatments to the brain. Through successful encapsulation of itraconazole, it paves the way for glioblastoma treatment by repurposing itraconazole with improved efficacy and reduced side effects. Furthermore, this can be incorporated in various drug delivery vehicles depending on the route of administration and therapeutic outcome i.e. intranasal, intravenous, or oral route. Future studies focus on determining the composition of PDEVs to enable engineering strategies for next generation targeting via surface modification."

The ingredients in Panax ginseng that manifested cardiovascular protective effects are mainly ginsenosides (especially ginsenoside Rb1). Ginsenosides protected against CVDs such as ischemic reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis and heart failure mainly through improving energy metabolism, inhibiting hyper-autophagy, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and promoting secretion of exosomes. Panax ginseng and its active ingredients have a particularly prominent effect on improving myocardial energy metabolism remodeling in protecting against CVDs.

Nevertheless, its poor colon-targeting efficiency, insufficient capacity to penetrate the intestinal mucus layer, and low cellular internalization significantly compromise therapeutic outcomes in UC treatment. To address these critical limitations, herein we rationally designed a exosome-hydrogel hybrid system (Cel-GDNPs@Gel) by first encapsulating Cel into ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDNPs), which were subsequently dispersed within a glycyrrhizic acid (GA) hydrogel matrix. Experimental studies confirmed that GDNPs were successfully isolated and characterized with uniform size distribution and round- or cup-shaped morphology, and Cel was successful encapsulated into GDNPs. The GA hydrogel endowed the system with excellent pH-sensitivity and robust mucoadhesive properties, thereby facilitating enhanced accumulation and prolonged retention at the colon site. Moreover, GDNPs promoted efficient mucus penetration and cellular uptake of Cel. Notably, both GDNPs and GA could exert synergistic therapeutic effects with Cel. Accordingly, in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that Cel-GDNPs@Gel significantly alleviated colitis symptoms, suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, attenuated oxidative stress, regulated macrophage polarization, promoted intestinal mucosal barrier repair, and restored intestinal homeostasis. Furthermore, this delivery system exhibited favorable biosafety with no obvious systemic toxicity.

The aim of this study was focused on the potential of ginsenoside (Gn)-Rh2 from ginseng exosomes (Gn-Exos), a primary bioactive constituent of Panax ginseng, to enhance chemotherapy sensitivity in NSCLC. In this study, Gn-Exo was isolated and identified. The intake and internal organ distribution of PKH26-labelled Gn-Exos was detected using immunofluorescence and in vivo imaging. Transwell migration, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation, cell counting, and wound healing experiments were performed to assess NSCLC cell proliferation and migration. A mouse tumor xenograft model was constructed to assess the roles of Gn-Exos and the main active ingredient Gn-Rh2 in NSCLC progression and metastasis in vivo. Gn-Exos can inhibit the proliferation, migration, cancer growth, and pulmonary metastasis of NSCLC cells. Mass spectrometry analysis confirmed that the main component of Gn-Exos was Gn-Rh2. The results also showed that Gn-Rh2 inhibited the proliferation and migration of NSCLC cells in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. Comprehensive proteomic analysis identified ribonucleotide reductase regulatory subunit M2 (RRM2) and ubiquitin-specific protease 22 (USP22) as key targets significantly downregulated by Gn-Rh2. Experimental results demonstrated that Gn-Rh2 disrupts the interaction to USP22, disrupting the interaction between USP22 and RRM2, leading to ubiquitination degradation of RRM2. Animal experiments further confirmed that Gn-Rh2 sensitized NSCLC cells to chemotherapy, particularly cisplatin. These findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of Gn-Rh2 in enhancing chemotherapy sensitivity and suggest a promising therapeutic strategy for NSCLC."

Plant-derived vesicles (PDVs), isolated from fruits, vegetables, or medicinal herbs, overcome these issues due to their abundant sources, cost-effectiveness, and favorable safety profile. PDVs from plants like citrus, ginger, and ginseng exhibit inherent anticancer effects by inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis. However, PDV research remains nascent and faces major challenges: (1) Scalable production is inefficient, with current isolation methods yielding impurities and batch variations. (2) Unified markers and classification criteria are lacking, hindering data standardization. (3) High heterogeneity and the absence of systematic databases impede matching PDV sources to specific diseases. (4) Safety assessment frameworks are urgently needed, including contraindications and pharmacokinetic studies. This review summarizes the preparation methods, physicochemical properties, anticancer mechanisms, and drug delivery applications of PDVs, while addressing these challenges and future prospects."

Here, we revealed that plant-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (PEVs) offer a promising strategy to overcome this barrier. Using an optimized high-yield extraction protocol, we isolated PEVs from four medicinal plants: Panax ginseng, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, and Ligusticum chuanxiong.

This study evaluated the therapeutic potential of GDEVs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation and joint destruction. We conducted both in vitro and in vivo experiments using synovial fibroblasts derived from RA patients and a collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) mouse model. In vitro, GDEVs significantly suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) and interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2 and downstream mediators IL-6, Cox-2, and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) and inhibited the proliferation and migration of RA synovial fibroblasts. In vivo, oral administration of GDEVs to CAIA mice reduced arthritis severity, attenuated synovitis, preserved cartilage integrity, and suppressed osteoclast activation. GDEVs were stable against gastric digestion and were efficiently taken up by intestinal cells, supporting their oral availability. Microarray and RNA sequencing identified miR-149 as a key regulatory molecule in GDEVs, associated with the suppression of inflammation-related signaling pathways, including Ras signaling and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. These findings highlight the potential of GDEVs as an anti-inflammatory therapy for RA. Given their stability and bioavailability, the oral administration of GDEVs could be a promising non-invasive treatment for future clinical applications."

Plant-based diets and phytochemicals can support the immune microenvironment in the intestinal epithelial barrier for a balanced immune system by improving the intestinal microecological balance and may have therapeutic potential in colitis. However, there have been only a few reports on the therapeutic potential of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PENs) and the underlying mechanism in colitis. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic effect of PENs from Panax ginseng, ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs), in a mouse model of IBD, with a focus on the intestinal immune microenvironment. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of GENs on acute colitis, we treated GENs in Caco2 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced RAW 264.7 macrophages and analyzed the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and IL-10 by real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Furthermore, we further examined bacterial DNA from feces and determined the alteration of gut microbiota composition in DSS-induced colitis mice after administration of GENs through 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. GENs with low toxicity showed a long-lasting intestinal retention effect for 48 h, which could lead to effective suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 production through inhibition of NF-\u03baB in DSS-induced colitis. As a result, it showed longer colon length and suppressed thickening of the colon wall in the mice treated with GENs. Due to the amelioration of the progression of DSS-induced colitis with GENs treatment, the prolonged survival rate was observed for 17 days compared to 9 days in the PBS-treated group. In the gut microbiota analysis, the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidota was decreased, which means GENs have therapeutic effectiveness against IBD. Ingesting GENs would be expected to slow colitis progression, strengthen the gut microbiota, and maintain gut homeostasis by preventing bacterial dysbiosis. GENs have a therapeutic effect on colitis through modulation of the intestinal microbiota and immune microenvironment. GENs not only ameliorate the inflammation in the damaged intestine by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines but also help balance the microbiota on the intestinal barrier and thereby improve the digestive system."

Diet manipulation is the foundation of prevention and treatment of obesity and diabetes. The molecular mechanisms that mediate the diet-based prevention of insulin resistance, however, remain to be identified. Here, we report that treatment with orally administered ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) prevents insulin resistance by restoring homeostasis in gut epithelial Foxa2 mediated signaling in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Methods: Ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) were added into drinking water to treat high-fat diet fed mice for at least one year or throughout their life span. A micro array profile of intestinal, liver and fat tissue of GDNP treated mice was used to analyze their gene expression profile. Genes associated with metabolism or insulin signaling were further quantified using the real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was used for determining the interaction between Foxa2 protein and phosphatic acid lipid nanoparticles. Results: HFD-feeding inhibited the expression of Foxa2; the GDNPs increased the expression of Foxa2 and protected Foxa2 against Akt-1 mediated phosphorylation and subsequent inactivation of Foxa2. Increasing expression of Foxa2 leads to altering the composition of intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) exosomes of mice fed a HFD and prevents IEC exosome mediated insulin resistance. Collectively, oral administration of GDNP prevents insulin resistance in HFD mice. Interestingly, oral administration of GDNP also extended the life span of the mice and inhibited skin inflammation. Conclusion: Our findings showed that GDNP treatment can prevent HFD-induced obesity and insulin resistance via protecting the Foxa2 from Akt-1 mediated phosphorylation. GDNP treatment provides an alternative approach based on diet manipulation for the development of therapeutic interventions for obesity."

PGEs were isolated using a tangential flow filtration system, yielding particles with an average diameter of 159.5\u00a0nm and a concentration of 3.9\u2009\u00d7\u20091012 particles/mL. In 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, PGE treatment resulted in a 72.1% reduction in lipid accumulation, as demonstrated by Oil Red O staining, indicating significant inhibition of adipogenic differentiation. Elevated expression of surface markers TET-8 (147.2%) verified the exosomal nature of the isolated vesicles. To determine their role in adipocyte differentiation, we analyzed gene and protein expression of key adipogenic markers-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-\u03b3), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha and beta, and fatty acid-binding protein 4-revealing reductions of 23.6-35.6% and 26.7-35.2%, respectively.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) display a continuum of different polarization states between tumoricidal M1 phenotype and tumor-supportive M2 phenotypes, with a lower M1/M2 ratio correlating with tumor growth, angiogenesis and invasion. We investigated whether EVs from ginseng can alter M2-like polarization both in vitro and in vivo to promote cancer immunotherapy. A novel EVs-liked ginseng-derived nanoparticles (GDNPs) were isolated and characterized from Panax ginseng C. A. Mey. Using GDNPs as an immunopotentiator for altering M2 polarized macrophages, we analyzed associated surface markers, genes and cytokines of macrophages treated with GDNPs. Mice bearing B16F10 melanoma were treated with GDNPs therapy. Tumor growth were assessed, and TAM populations were evaluated by FACS and IF. GDNPs significantly promoted the polarization of M2 to M1 phenotype and produce total reactive oxygen species, resulting in increasing apoptosis of mouse melanoma cells. GDNP-induced M1 polarization was found to depend upon Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 and myeloid differentiation antigen 88 (MyD88)-mediated signaling. Moreover, ceramide lipids and proteins of GDNPs may play an important role in macrophage polarization via TLR4 activation. We found that GDNPs treatment significantly suppressed melanoma growth in tumor-bearing mice with increased presence of M1 macrophages detected in the tumor tissue. GDNPs can alter M2 polarization both in vitro and in vivo, which contributes to an antitumor response. The polarization of macrophages induced by GDNPs is largely dependent on TLR4 and MyD88 signalling. GDNPs as an immunomodulator participate in mammalian immune response and may represent a new class of nano-drugs in cancer immunotherapy."

In this study, the modification of the conventional nano-lipid-based soybean lecithin was demonstrated. Ginger-oil-derived Zingiber officinale was used along with lecithin, cholesterol and span 80 to fabricate nano-lipids (GL nano-lipids) using a thin-film method. TEM and a confocal microscope were used to elucidate GL nano-lipids' liposome-like morphology. The average size of the resultant nano-lipid was 249.1 nm with monodistribution (PDI = 0.021).

A shift in pH value from alkaline to acid was detected in lecithin nano-lipids, while with the incorporation of ginger oil, the pH value of nano-lipid dispersion was around 7.0. Furthermore, due to the richness of shogaol-6 and other active compounds in ginger oil, the GL nano-lipid was endowed with intrinsic antibacterial activity. In addition, the sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay and live/dead imaging revealed the excellent biocompatibility of GL nano-lipids.

While ginger vesicles are predominantly characterized for their gut-homing, anti-inflammatory, and colonic-targeted drug delivery capabilities (e.g., in colitis and glioblastoma), ginseng-derived nanovesicles emphasize immunomodulatory, neuroprotective, and metabolic regulatory pathways, frequently leveraging their rich bioactive ginsenoside cargo.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe convergence of medicinal plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) represents a paradigm shift in precision phytomedicine. Ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GELNs) consistently demonstrate remarkable intestinal stability and targeted delivery efficiency. Their therapeutic application is heavily linked to their lipid composition and the presence of 6-gingerol and shogaols. Conversely, ginseng-derived vesicles (e.g., Gn-Exos, PGEs) leverage an extensive repertoire of ginsenosides to modulate complex systemic pathways such as AMPK signaling and ferroptosis. Both platforms exhibit commonalities in their natural origin, spherical morphology, and capacity to cross biological barriers, including the blood-brain barrier. The distinction lies in their specific clinical application: ginger vesicles are often favored for gastrointestinal and glioblastoma models, whereas ginseng vesicles are frequently targeted toward systemic metabolic, neuroprotective, and immune-polarization disorders.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   GELNs consistently exhibit pH-sensitivity and robust mucoadhesive properties within the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating therapeutic retention.\n*   Ginseng-derived nanovesicles demonstrate significant cross-kingdom regulatory roles, often by delivering bioactive plant microRNAs that modulate host gene expression.\n*   The extraction protocols for both vesicle types increasingly transition toward cost-effective methods, such as PEG-based precipitation, replacing traditional ultracentrifugation.\n*   GELNs can act as natural nanovehicles to mitigate thermal hazards in food processing, while ginseng vesicles are explored for systemic anti-senescent and anti-aging properties.\n*   Biomimetic modification (e.g., FA-conjugation or cRGD peptide functionalization) is a shared strategy to enhance the site-specific accumulation of both ginger and ginseng-derived vesicles.\n*   Ginger vesicles possess inherent cytotoxic activity against tumor cells (e.g., glioblastoma), whereas ginseng vesicles are frequently utilized as potent adjuvants in chemotherapy sensitization.\n*   The \"microbiota gatekeeping\" effect remains a central pharmacokinetic constraint for ginseng, which vesicle encapsulation attempts to bypass.\n*   Both platforms show excellent short-term safety profiles, with no significant immunogenicity reported in preclinical models.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Nevertheless, its poor colon-targeting efficiency, insufficient capacity to penetrate the intestinal mucus layer, and low cellular internalization significantly compromise therapeutic outcomes in UC treatment. To address these critical limitations, herein we rationally designed a exosome-hydrogel hybrid system (Cel-GDNPs@Gel) by first encapsulating Cel into ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDNPs), which were subsequently dispersed within a glycyrrhizic acid (GA) hydrogel matrix. Experimental studies confirmed that GDNPs were successfully isolated and characterized with uniform size distribution and round- or cup-shaped morphology, and Cel was successful encapsulated into GDNPs. The GA hydrogel endowed the system with excellent pH-sensitivity and robust mucoadhesive properties, thereby facilitating enhanced accumulation and prolonged retention at the colon site. Moreover, GDNPs promoted efficient mucus penetration and cellular uptake of Cel. Notably, both GDNPs and GA could exert synergistic therapeutic effects with Cel. Accordingly, in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that Cel-GDNPs@Gel significantly alleviated colitis symptoms, suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, attenuated oxidative stress, regulated macrophage polarization, promoted intestinal mucosal barrier repair, and restored intestinal homeostasis. Furthermore, this delivery system exhibited favorable biosafety with no obvious systemic toxicity. Collectively, this multifunctional Cel-GDNPs@Gel platform offers a safe and effective strategy for the oral treatment of UC.\n\nID: 42544642\nTitle: Microneedling-assisted Panax ginseng exosome protocol for vulvovaginal symptoms and vulvar skin tone changes: A preliminary pilot observational study.\nAbstract: BackgroundNonhormonal approaches for vulvovaginal symptoms and vulvar skin concerns are increasingly being explored. However, clinical evidence for combined microneedling-assisted topical protocols in this setting remains limited.ObjectivesThis preliminary pilot observational study explored the short-term feasibility, patient-reported outcomes, tolerability, and qualitative photographic findings associated with a combined microneedling-assisted Panax ginseng exosome protocol with adjunctive inner gel use.DesignSingle-arm preliminary pilot observational study.MethodsFourteen women (mean age, 48.6 years; range, 24-63 years) underwent three treatment sessions at 2-week intervals, followed by a final assessment 2 weeks after the third treatment session, resulting in a total study duration of 6 weeks from baseline to final follow-up for each participant. Microneedling was performed on the vulvar area using a 2-mm dermaroller, followed by topical application of a Panax ginseng exosome formulation. Participants also used an adjunctive inner gel between visits. Outcomes included the Vulvovaginal Symptom Questionnaire (VSQ), the Day-to-Day Impact of Vaginal Aging (DIVA) questionnaire, procedural pain assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS), safety observations, and qualitative clinical photographic assessment.ResultsTotal VSQ score decreased after treatment (mean change, -2.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], -4.76 to -0.95; p = 0.00648). Total DIVA score also decreased (mean change, -5.43; 95% CI, -9.55 to -1.30; p = 0.0138), with significant improvement in the daily activities domain (median change, -2.0; p = 0.00849). The emotion and sexual life domains showed directional decreases but did not reach statistical significance. Procedure-related pain was transient and generally decreased within 30 minutes after treatment. Clinical photographs showed qualitative observational changes in pigmentation intensity and skin tone uniformity. No serious adverse events were observed during the short follow-up period.ConclusionThis small uncontrolled pilot study found that the combined microneedling-assisted Panax ginseng exosome protocol with adjunctive inner gel use was associated with short-term improvements in patient-reported vulvovaginal symptoms and qualitative vulvar skin tone observations. Because of the single-arm design, small sample size, combined intervention, subjective photographic assessment, and short follow-up, these findings should be interpreted as preliminary and hypothesis-generating. Many women experience vulvovaginal symptoms such as dryness, itching, irritation, discomfort, or pain during sexual activity. Some women also have concerns about changes in vulvar skin tone. This small pilot study looked at a combined nonhormonal treatment using microneedling, a topical Panax ginseng exosome product, and home use of an inner gel. Fourteen women took part. Each participant received three treatment sessions, 2 weeks apart, and had a final assessment 2 weeks after the third session. The total study duration was 6 weeks. After treatment, participants reported lower vulvovaginal symptom scores and lower daily impact scores. The daily activities score improved, while emotional well-being and sexual life scores showed decreasing trends but did not significantly improve. Treatment-related pain was temporary and generally decreased within 30 minutes. No serious adverse events were observed during the short follow-up period. Clinical photographs showed visual changes in skin tone in some cases, but these photographs were not measured using objective color tests or blinded grading. Because this study included only 14 participants, had no control group, used a combined treatment, and had short follow-up, the findings should be considered preliminary. Larger controlled studies are needed to confirm safety, durability, and clinical usefulness.\n\nID: 42486784\nTitle: In Situ Transferrin-Mediated Sandwich-like Targeting with Engineered Ginger-Derived Extracellular Vesicles for Precision Oral Chemotherapy of Colorectal Cancer.\nAbstract: Oral chemotherapy for colorectal cancer (CRC) is limited by poor tumor selectivity and microenvironment-driven resistance. Addressing these limitations demands materials that integrate tumor-selective targeting with immune microenvironment modulation. Here, clinical analysis of CRC specimens revealed pronounced transferrin (Tf) enrichment in CRC-associated intestinal regions. Guided by this finding, we engineered a gastrointestinal-stable cyclic Tf-binding peptide (cp) with high Tf affinity and constructed cp-modified ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (cp-GEVs) for in situ Tf-mediated sandwich-like targeting. By recruiting endogenous Tf, cp-GEVs established a Tf-mediated bridging interface that selectively engages Tf receptor-overexpressing intestinal epithelium and tumor cells, enabling efficient epithelial transcytosis, tumor-selective accumulation, and deep intratumoral penetration after oral administration. When loaded with irinotecan (CPT-11), CPT@cp-GEVs significantly enhanced intracellular drug delivery and reprogrammed immunosuppressive M2-like tumor-associated macrophages toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype, thereby disrupting cancer stem cell-enriched drug-resistant niches. In AOM/DSS-induced primary CRC models and patient-derived ex vivo systems, CPT@cp-GEVs significantly improved chemotherapeutic efficacy while attenuating resistance. Collectively, this work establishes a Tf-mediated sandwich-like targeting framework for oral cancer therapy, offering a conceptually distinct materials design paradigm that integrates endogenous ligand recruitment with immune microenvironment reprogramming.\n\nID: 42395025\nTitle: Ginsenosides from Panax ginseng: Their mechanisms, microbiome determinants, and translational strategies in therapeutic activity against cancer.\nAbstract: Ginsenosides from Panax ginseng Meyer and their microbiota-derived metabolites have been explored as adjuncts in oncology, with pleiotropic activities across tumor-intrinsic and microenvironmental pathways. This review focuses on representative metabolites (Rg3, Rh2 and compound K) and summarizes mechanistic evidence for apoptosis and cell-cycle control, metabolic reprogramming (Warburg-type glycolysis), and epigenetic regulation (miRNA/lncRNA-linked programs), together with immunomodulatory effects in the tumor microenvironment. A central translational constraint is pharmacokinetics and the \"microbiota gatekeeping\" effect: many parent ginsenosides show limited oral absorption and require microbiota-mediated deglycosylation, resulting in delayed and variable systemic exposure across individuals. To address this bottleneck, we discuss pragmatic translational directions including bioconversion/pre-transformation to enrich active metabolites, biomimetic delivery platforms such as ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles to improve exposure and tissue uptake, and mechanism-guided combinations (e.g., with immune checkpoint blockade). Finally, we outline how biomarker-informed stratification and AI/ML-enabled, hypothesis-generating optimization of delivery/formulation may support more predictable clinical development.\n\nID: 42326966\nTitle: Spice exosome-like nanovesicles for multi-target mitigation of thermal processing hazards: superior efficacy of isothiocyanate-enriched Armoracia rusticana ELNs in air-fried beef patties.\nAbstract: Thermal processing of meat inevitably generates hazardous heterocyclic amines (HAs) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), posing health risks to consumers. Here, we isolated and characterized spice exosome-like nanoparticles (ELNs) from ginger, garlic, Armoracia rusticana, basil, onion, and scallion. Then evaluated their efficacy in inhibiting bound HAs and AGEs in air-fried beef patties. Among all treatments, Armoracia rusticana ELNs (ARELNs) exhibited the most potent and broad-spectrum inhibitory activity, reducing total HAs by 53.4% and total AGEs by 50.6% at 1.0% addition, significantly outperforming other spice ELNs. ARELNs also demonstrated superior free radical scavenging capacity and suppressed lipid/protein oxidation more effectively than other spice ELNs. Crucially, ARELNs preserved desirable sensory attributes with minimal adverse impact. Metabolomic profiling revealed that ARELNs are uniquely enriched in isothiocyanate precursors (sinigrin, gluconasturtiin, 3-methylsulfinylpropyl isothiocyanate), which may act as dual scavengers of reactive carbonyls and free radicals. These findings suggest spice ELNs, particularly those from horseradish, as a novel, nature-derived nanovehicle strategy to simultaneously mitigate multiple thermal processing hazards while maintaining product quality, offering a promising clean-label solution for the meat industry.\n\nID: 42293730\nTitle: A safe and anti-inflammatory plant-derived nanovesicle platform for targeted delivery in acute lung injury.\nAbstract: Acute lung injury (ALI) and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), are life-threatening pulmonary disorders with extremely high mortality rates, for which effective and safe therapeutic strategies remain limited. The development of targeted and biocompatible drug delivery systems is urgently needed to control pulmonary inflammatory cascades while minimizing systemic toxicity. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles offer a naturally safe and anti-inflammatory platform for therapeutic delivery. Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1), a major bioactive compound from ginseng, possesses potent anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties, whereas lemon-derived EVs (LEVs) exhibit intrinsic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we engineered a multifunctional, biocompatible drug delivery platform, GRb1@LEVs-cRGD, in which ginsenoside Rb1 is incorporated into and fused with LEVs to form hybrid bio-nanovesicles, while the vesicle surface is functionalized with cyclic RGD (cRGD) peptides to target integrin \u03b1v\u03b23 highly expressed in inflamed pulmonary tissues, thereby enhancing site-specific delivery. In vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD effectively inhibited M1 macrophage polarization, suppressed inflammatory cascades, and preserved epithelial-endothelial integrity. Furthermore, exogenous cholesterol loading improved vesicle stability, maintained the pH gradient, and enhanced the loading efficiency of tigecycline and vancomycin by six-fold. In murine models of bacterial pneumonia induced by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, antibiotic-loaded GRb1@LEVs-cRGD efficiently accumulated at infection sites and exhibited synergistic anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. Overall, this study demonstrates that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD is a safe, targeted, and multifunctional therapeutic platform with significant potential for ALI/ARDS treatment.\n\nID: 42260763\nTitle: Green nanomedicine for cancer therapy.\nAbstract: Nanoparticles derived from various sources have been widely investigated as biological therapeutic agents and drug carriers for cancer treatment. Among them, plant-derived vesicle-like nanoparticles (PDVLNs) have attracted considerable interest because of their wide availability, high yield, and ease of preparation. PDVLNs are primarily produced via active secretory mechanisms in plant cells in response to specific physiological and environmental stimuli. They can cross biological barriers while retaining the bioactive components of their parent plants, thereby exhibiting the dual capabilities of drug delivery and biological regulation. Currently, in the field of cancer treatment, PDVLNs sourced from ginger, grapes, green tea, and Brucea javanica have been successfully applied in monotherapy, combination therapy, and targeted drug delivery. This review systematically summarizes recent advances and the underlying molecular mechanisms of PDVLNs in cancer treatment, with an emphasis on engineering strategies designed to improve their performance as drug delivery systems, including drug loading techniques, surface modification approaches, and membrane fusion methods. Furthermore, the potential applications of PDVLNs in precision medicine and clinical translation are explored. By synthesizing current research progress and outlining future directions, this review provides a systematic theoretical foundation and practical insights to support the development of safe, effective, and clinically feasible antitumor nanotherapeutic platforms.\n\nID: 42211882\nTitle: M1 macrophage-targeted engineered ginseng stems and leaves-derived extracellular vesicles delivery system for alleviating rheumatoid arthritis.\nAbstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent synovial inflammation, oxidative stress damage and joint destruction. Current treatments often face challenges including limited targeting efficacy and systemic side effects. To develop a novel targeted therapy for RA, this study constructed a functionalized extracellular vesicle (EV) system by engineering ginseng stems and leaves-derived EVs with hyaluronic acid (HA) modification and curcumin (Cur) loading (Cur@EVs-PH). Structurally, the EVs-PH drug-loaded nanoplatform integrates the remarkable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of EVs with the prolonged circulation capacity conferred by PEG. This design further capitalizes on the targeting ability of HA, thereby providing a robust structural foundation for the efficient delivery of therapeutics to disease sites. Our results demonstrated that the designed system achieved enhanced inflammatory targeting through CD44 receptor-mediated accumulation and exhibited potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In the collagen-induced arthritis model, Cur@EVs-PH significantly alleviated joint swelling, reduced pathological scores and normalized immune organ indices. Mechanistic studies revealed that the therapeutic effects were mediated through suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and promotion of macrophage M2 polarization. This integrated strategy combining natural EVs, targeted modification and active drug loading provides a promising platform for the treatment of RA and other inflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 42150513\nTitle: Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles enable enhanced transdermal delivery of finasteride for androgenetic alopecia treatment.\nAbstract: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a highly prevalent hair loss disorder, and finasteride (FIN) is one of the two drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating AGA. The clinical use of finasteride for AGA is limited by its poor solubility and systemic adverse effects. To address the limitations of finasteride, we developed a drug delivery system using ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs). These nanoparticles were loaded with finasteride and integrated into a thermosensitive gel (FIN@GELNs-Gel) to enhance transdermal absorption. In vitro results demonstrated that the formulation promoted cell migration and angiogenesis, indicating its potential to improve the hair follicle microenvironment. In vivo study on AGA mouse models showed a significant reduction in dihydrotestosterone levels in both the skin and serum. Furthermore, the treatment upregulated VEGF and Ki67 expression, accelerated the telogen-to-anagen transition effectively, all without inducing histopathological abnormalities in major organs. These results collectively demonstrate that FIN@GELNs-Gel significantly enhances the therapeutic efficacy and biosafety of finasteride, showing promising potential as an effective topical treatment for AGA.\n\nID: 42114788\nTitle: Ginsenoside Rh2 from ginseng exosomes enhances chemotherapy sensitivity in non-small cell lung cancer by modulating the USP22-RRM2 axis.\nAbstract: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a prevalent and malignant cancer globally, characterized by chemotherapy resistance. The aim of this study was focused on the potential of ginsenoside (Gn)-Rh2 from ginseng exosomes (Gn-Exos), a primary bioactive constituent of Panax ginseng, to enhance chemotherapy sensitivity in NSCLC. In this study, Gn-Exo was isolated and identified. The intake and internal organ distribution of PKH26-labelled Gn-Exos was detected using immunofluorescence and in vivo imaging. Transwell migration, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation, cell counting, and wound healing experiments were performed to assess NSCLC cell proliferation and migration. A mouse tumor xenograft model was constructed to assess the roles of Gn-Exos and the main active ingredient Gn-Rh2 in NSCLC progression and metastasis in vivo. Gn-Exos can inhibit the proliferation, migration, cancer growth, and pulmonary metastasis of NSCLC cells. Mass spectrometry analysis confirmed that the main component of Gn-Exos was Gn-Rh2. The results also showed that Gn-Rh2 inhibited the proliferation and migration of NSCLC cells in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. Comprehensive proteomic analysis identified ribonucleotide reductase regulatory subunit M2 (RRM2) and ubiquitin-specific protease 22 (USP22) as key targets significantly downregulated by Gn-Rh2. Experimental results demonstrated that Gn-Rh2 disrupts the interaction to USP22, disrupting the interaction between USP22 and RRM2, leading to ubiquitination degradation of RRM2. Animal experiments further confirmed that Gn-Rh2 sensitized NSCLC cells to chemotherapy, particularly cisplatin. These findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of Gn-Rh2 in enhancing chemotherapy sensitivity and suggest a promising therapeutic strategy for NSCLC.\n\nID: 42098749\nTitle: Research progress on the mechanisms of Panax ginseng and its active components in maintaining skin homeostasis and disease intervention.\nAbstract: Panax ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) is a classic herbal medicine widely utilized in dermatological management, yet its precise therapeutic mechanisms have only recently begun to be fully elucidated. This review systematically synthesizes the pharmacological roles of ginseng's active components, including ginsenosides, polysaccharides, and gintonin, in maintaining skin homeostasis and treating various cutaneous pathologies. Emerging evidence suggests that the efficacy of ginseng extends beyond direct molecular interactions, exhibiting the distinct characteristics of \"indirect pharmacology.\" Specifically, parent ginsenosides function primarily as natural prodrugs that require microbial biotransformation into high-affinity active metabolites, such as Compound K and Rh2, to exert potent therapeutic effects. Functionally, these components regulate skin health by mobilizing endogenous host defense systems, particularly through the activation of the Nrf2/ARE antioxidant pathway and the suppression of inflammatory cascades via the NF-\u03baB, MAPK, and IL-1 signaling networks. Furthermore, they remodel the systemic microenvironment through the gut-skin axis, facilitating metabolic homeostasis to improve skin barrier function. Notably, biotransformation rates and ultimate therapeutic efficacy are highly dependent on individualized variables, such as host age, dietary patterns, and baseline disease states. This systemic regulation has demonstrated robust efficacy in intervening in complex pathologies, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and skin cancer. Additionally, this article addresses the translational bottleneck of low bioavailability and evaluates recent advances in novel skin delivery systems, specifically those utilizing ginseng-derived exosomes. Collectively, this review provides a scientific framework for understanding the systemic actions of ginseng, supporting its development as a precision botanical therapy for dermatological applications.\n\nID: 41985257\nTitle: The drug substance of traditional Japanese Kampo medicines retains exosome-like nanoparticles derived from crude drugs.\nAbstract: Recent studies have highlighted the diverse roles of extracellular vesicles, which have been detected in natural products such as ginger and ginseng. This study examined whether traditional Japanese Kampo medicines also contain extracellular vesicles. The drug substance (i.e., spray-dried powder from hot-water extracts of crude drugs) of the Kampo medicine Ninjin'yoeito was suspended in distilled water and fractionated by size exclusion chromatography to isolate nano-sized particles. Nanoparticle tracking analysis and electron microscopy confirmed the particle size distribution and morphology of the product, confirming the presence of exosome-like nanoparticles in the Kampo medicine preparation. Nanoparticle measurements and electron microscopy revealed vesicle-like structures consistent with the known characteristics of exosomes, and proteomic analysis supported their biochemical identity. Lectin array profiling revealed the abundance of high-mannose N-glycans on their surface. These nanoparticles were internalized by cells, and miRNA analysis indicated the presence of multiple miRNA types within the nanoparticles. This is the first report demonstrating the presence and characteristics of exosome-like nanoparticles in Kampo medicines. Although most active components of Kampo medicines have traditionally been considered small molecules, our findings suggest that extracellular vesicles can also serve as potential bioactive components.\n\nID: 41858576\nTitle: From Biomedical Mechanisms to Clinical Applications: Research Progress in Plant-Derived Vesicles for Cancer Therapy.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale membranous structures secreted by cells, which carry bioactive molecules (eg, lipids, proteins, miRNAs) and facilitate intercellular communication. Recently, EVs have emerged as natural drug delivery systems. While early research focused on mammalian or bacterial EVs, concerns regarding safety, ethics, and cost limit their clinical translation. Plant-derived vesicles (PDVs), isolated from fruits, vegetables, or medicinal herbs, overcome these issues due to their abundant sources, cost-effectiveness, and favorable safety profile. PDVs from plants like citrus, ginger, and ginseng exhibit inherent anticancer effects by inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis. However, PDV research remains nascent and faces major challenges: (1) Scalable production is inefficient, with current isolation methods yielding impurities and batch variations. (2) Unified markers and classification criteria are lacking, hindering data standardization. (3) High heterogeneity and the absence of systematic databases impede matching PDV sources to specific diseases. (4) Safety assessment frameworks are urgently needed, including contraindications and pharmacokinetic studies. This review summarizes the preparation methods, physicochemical properties, anticancer mechanisms, and drug delivery applications of PDVs, while addressing these challenges and future prospects.\n\nID: 41828378\nTitle: Ginseng Biomacromolecules: Integrating Nutrition and Health, a New Direction in Phytomedicine.\nAbstract: As a traditional dual-purpose ingredient for both medicine and food, the biomacromolecules in Panax ginseng include polysaccharides, pectin, exosomes, proteins and dietary fiber. Due to their unique chemical structures, physiological activities, and processing adaptability, these components have achieved diversified applications in the medical field, becoming one of the core raw materials for functional food development. Modern research shows that the biomacromolecules found in ginseng can regulate the body's immunity, antioxidant and anti-tumor properties, as well as antibacterial properties and the ability to enhance the body's metabolic capacity, demonstrating significant application potential in healthcare-related fields. Recent studies have found that in addition to the root, the stems, leaves, fruits and flowers of P. ginseng also contain various effective components such as ginseng polysaccharides and pectin, which have enhanced the utilization value of ginseng plant resources. Ginseng biomacromolecules can not only replace antibiotics but also improve the production performance of animals by influencing the structure of intestinal flora, providing raw materials for the selection and application of natural feed additives for animals. This review summarizes the latest research findings on the pharmacological properties and practical applications of ginseng-derived biomolecules. It primarily addresses the structural characteristics, pharmacological activities, and current applications in health and medicine of biomolecules such as ginseng polysaccharides, ginseng exosomes, ginseng proteins, and ginseng dietary fiber. It aims to provide a fresh perspective and a solid theoretical foundation for the in-depth development of ginseng in the fields of medicine and molecular biology.\n\nID: 41792535\nTitle: Design of a Thermoresponsive Nose-to-Brain Neuromaterial for the Release of Naturally Derived Extracellular Vesicles Delivering Teriflunomide for Multiple Sclerosis.\nAbstract: Multiple sclerosis is a neuroinflammatory disease characterized by demyelination and progressive neurological decline. Teriflunomide, a first-line immunomodulatory agent, faces limitations due to oral route of administration and systemic toxicity. To overcome these challenges, we developed a nose-to-brain delivery system comprising teriflunomide-loaded ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (G-EVs) embedded in an in situ nasal gel. G-EVs were isolated via serial centrifugation and double filtration and characterized for particle size (103.5\u2009\u00b1\u20091.09\u00a0nm) and zeta potential (-17.3\u2009\u00b1\u20090.32\u00a0mV) confirming nanoscale uniformity. Teriflunomide was loaded into G-EVs with an entrapment efficiency of 63.24\u2009\u00b1\u20090.75%. In vitro release studies revealed a biphasic drug release profile; an initial burst release of 3% in 24\u00a0h followed by sustained release over 21\u00a0days. The cytotoxicity of the G-EVs, loaded G-EVs and the drug was found to be non-toxic at lower concentrations (<\u20090.5\u00a0mg/ml). It was observed that drug loading enhanced cellular internalization of the G-EVs. Pluronic F127 and chitosan was used to formulate a thermoresponsive and mucoadhesive nasal gel. Rheological analysis demonstrated a sol-gel transition at 34.13\u2009\u00b1\u20090.76\u00a0\u00b0C, with high G' values indicating more elasticity and stiffness, behaving more like a solid. Mucoadhesion testing confirmed strong retention on mucin through texture analysis and in vitro studies. The loaded G-EVs were added to the nasal gel and SEM was performed to confirm uniformity. This formulation could offer a synergistic platform for brain drug delivery, combining the biocompatibility of naturally-derived EVs with the thermoresponsive nasal gel.\n\nID: 41772638\nTitle: Synergistic delivery of ginseng exosomes and biomimetic melanosomes via temporally controlled hydrogel microneedles restrain the pathologic triad of vitiligo.\nAbstract: Vitiligo pathogenesis involves progressive melanocyte loss and keratinocyte dysfunction, which are driven primarily by oxidative stress resulting from excessive ROS accumulation. We engineered a temporally controlled hydrogel microneedle system that integrates ginseng-derived exosomes (G-Exos) with biomimetic polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA@PEGs) to concurrently target the pathogenic triad of vitiligo, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and melanocyte deficiency. This system employs methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HAMA) hydrogel microneedles for rapid PDA@PEG release while utilizing glyceryl monostearate micelles to achieve matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)-responsive G-Exo release at inflammatory foci, enabling intelligent spatiotemporal control. Functionally, G-Exos help restore redox homeostasis and suppress inflammation through bioactive constituents, thereby protecting melanocytes and enhancing keratinocyte proliferation. Moreover, PDA@PEG promotes repigmentation through the dual mechanisms of exogenous melanin deposition and endogenous melanogenesis stimulation. In murine models, this strategy achieves significant repigmentation within 3 weeks by activating follicular stem cells, upregulating melanogenic markers (Tyr/Mc1r), increasing antioxidant defense (ApoE), and suppressing inflammatory signaling (IL-17). This natural-biomimetic hybrid design leverages biocompatible materials to co-target multiple pathological axes, offering a novel self-adaptive approach for microenvironmental rehabilitation in vitiligo.\n\nID: 41703861\nTitle: Geographic variation in ginger-derived nanovesicle lipids identifies chiral protein recognition as a determinant of B-cell internalization.\nAbstract: Plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (PELNs) represent natural nanocarriers for advanced nutrient delivery, with their lipid being a underutilized resource. However, a question is whether geographical variation of plant alters the lipid composition of PELNs to impact immune cells. To investigate this, geographical variation in ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) was leveraged as a natural lipid library. The first step was to determine whether geographical variation triggered biosynthetic divergence in GELNs lipids. Our approach combined lipidomic profiling, functional assays, and computational simulations to identify lipids that govern B-cell internalization and to elucidate their underlying mechanisms. Among 1202 lipids, 88 were differentially abundant (VIP >1.2, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05), and 36 correlated with internalization (|\u03c1|\u00a0>\u00a00.65, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Molecular docking showed DG (32:2) binding strongly to fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) (-8.00\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.17\u00a0kcal/mol) and PG (23:2) variants preferring autotaxin (ATX) (-6.97 to -7.43\u00a0kcal/mol), with both exceeding their affinity for bovine serum albumin, indicating a protein corona-independent mechanism. Molecular dynamics simulations validated the specificity predicted by docking, confirming that DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) form more stable complexes with FAAH and ATX, respectively. These data demonstrated a structure-activity relationship in which the promotion and inhibition of B-cell internalization are mediated by the key lipids DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) engaging FAAH and ATX through stereospecific interactions, respectively. This work establishes a phenotype-driven pipeline that bridges botanical diversity with precision nutrition, providing a source of functional dietary lipids, a mechanistic basis for their immunomodulatory effects, and a robust tool for quality evaluation.\n\nID: 41692829\nTitle: Biomimetic metal-drug coordination nanoplatform to counteract drug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa via energy disruption.\nAbstract: The rapid emergence of antimicrobial resistance is a critical global health challenge that renders conventional antibiotics ineffective. Developing innovative strategies to resensitize drug-resistant pathogens to existing antibiotics represents a promising therapeutic approach. Here, we present a biomimetic nanoplatform (Ce-Car@EV NPs) through the rational integration of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) and a pH-responsive cerium-carbenicillin coordination nanoparticles (Ce-Car NCPs). This design enables prolonged circulation and targeted degradation in acidic infection sites, releasing Ce4+ ions and carbenicillin. The released Ce4+ ions penetrate the bacterial cells, where they disrupt ATP synthesis, impede oxidative phosphorylation, and inhibit the activity of efflux pump. By depleting ATP, blocking efflux pumps, and thereby reversing bacterial resistance, Ce4+ ions act as a potent adjuvant to carbenicillin. Here we show that this strategy effectively restores carbenicillin efficacy against drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa both in vitro and in vivo, establishing a therapeutic strategy leveraging metallic adjuvants to counteract antimicrobial resistance.\n\nID: 41674725\nTitle: Oral ginger-derived extracellular vesicles ameliorate arthritis via anti-inflammatory actions of microRNA-149 and 6-gingerol.\nAbstract: Ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEVs) have emerged as a novel anti-inflammatory agent with advantages such as oral bioavailability, natural origin, and cost-effective large-scale production. This study evaluated the therapeutic potential of GDEVs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation and joint destruction. We conducted both in vitro and in vivo experiments using synovial fibroblasts derived from RA patients and a collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) mouse model. In vitro, GDEVs significantly suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) and interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2 and downstream mediators IL-6, Cox-2, and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) and inhibited the proliferation and migration of RA synovial fibroblasts. In vivo, oral administration of GDEVs to CAIA mice reduced arthritis severity, attenuated synovitis, preserved cartilage integrity, and suppressed osteoclast activation. GDEVs were stable against gastric digestion and were efficiently taken up by intestinal cells, supporting their oral availability. Microarray and RNA sequencing identified miR-149 as a key regulatory molecule in GDEVs, associated with the suppression of inflammation-related signaling pathways, including Ras signaling and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. These findings highlight the potential of GDEVs as an anti-inflammatory therapy for RA. Given their stability and bioavailability, the oral administration of GDEVs could be a promising non-invasive treatment for future clinical applications.\n\nID: 41621347\nTitle: American ginseng-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (AGELNs) mitigate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting GPX4-mediated ferroptosis.\nAbstract: Panacis Quinquefolii Radix (American ginseng, AG) has a well-documented history of use in cardiac protection. Nevertheless, the therapeutically active components responsible for its cardioprotective properties have not been fully elucidated. Extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (ELNs) have recently emerged as a promising class of natural nanocarriers with diverse applications in medicine and biology. However, it remains uncertain whether American Ginseng-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (AGELNs) exhibit cardioprotective effects. This investigation aims to analyze the effects of AGELNs on Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) and the mechanisms. Gradient ultracentrifugation was employed to isolate and purify AGELNs, while HPLC was employed for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of saponin molecules in AGELNs. Fluorescently labeled AGELNs were used to assess their uptake in cardiac tissue and cardiomyocytes. DIC models in mice and zebrafish were employed to evaluate the effect of AGELNs against DIC. Transcriptomics, RT-PCR, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and pharmacological agonist and antagonist treatments were used to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of AGELNs in vivo and in vitro. AGELNs significantly enhanced cardiac function in mice and zebrafish models, evidenced by increased fractional shortening (FS), stroke volume, heart rate, and pericardial sac areas. Concomitantly, AGELNs demonstrated pronounced cardiac accumulation in Dox-treated mice, zebrafish, and cardiomyocytes. Transcriptomic and cellular analyses demonstrated AGELNs attenuate DIC by suppressing lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Mechanistically, AGELNs predominantly inhibit cardiomyocyte ferroptosis by targeting GPX4 and activating the NRF2/HO-1/GPX4 pathway. Furthermore, the cardioprotective effect of AGELNs against DIC has been found to be closely linked to its specific combination of bioactive saponins, including Rb1, Rg1, Re, and Rd. AGELNs significantly mitigated DIC by activating GPX4 and suppressing cardiomyocyte ferroptosis in vitro and in vivo. These insights are valuable for the formulation of AGELNs therapies aimed at combating DIC.\n\nID: 41562604\nTitle: Complexed Tartary buckwheat starch with ginger exosomes modulates digestion resistance and gut microbiota to alleviate metabolic dysregulation in T2DM mice.\nAbstract: Resistant starch (RS) stabilizes postprandial blood glucose levels through multiple mechanisms and offers distinct advantages in preventing and managing metabolic diseases such as diabetes. This study introduces a novel plant exosome-starch composite system, combining Tartary buckwheat starch (TBS) and ginger exosomes (GELNs), referred to as the TBS-GELNs composite resistant starch (GTBS). Multi-scale physicochemical analysis revealed the molecular interaction mechanisms: composite formation significantly altered the microstructure of gelatinized starch. GELNs interacted with TBS through hydrogen bonds, enhancing starch crystallinity and short-range ordering, thus reducing its digestibility. The metabolic effects of GTBS on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) mice were further examined. The results indicated that GTBS markedly decreased fasting blood glucose and lipid levels, alleviated some organ damage, and improved gut microbiota composition by enhancing the structure and abundance of beneficial bacterial populations. This study provides novel insights and a theoretical basis for the regulation of postprandial blood glucose via composite starch-based biomolecules, offering promising strategies for developing staple food products that integrate nutritional value with biological activity.\n\nID: 41530048\nTitle: Panax ginseng-derived Exosome-like Nanoparticles Prevent LPS-induced Septic Shock by Modulating TLR4 Glycosylation in Macrophages.\nAbstract: Macrophages play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of sepsis, serving as central regulators of both disease onset and progression. Among the therapeutic agents investigated to modulate macrophage-driven inflammation, compounds extracted from the roots of Panax ginseng have been distinguished for their potent anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, attention has shifted toward ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDEs) because of their ability to encapsulate diverse bioactive compounds with high stability and biocompatibility. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of GDEs against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic shock, with a particular focus on macrophage-mediated mechanisms. GDEs isolated from Korean Panax ginseng exhibited a spherical morphology, high stability, and effective encapsulation of bioactive ginsenosides, including Rb1, Rg1, and Rg3. GDEs significantly attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages by reducing toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) glycosylation, thereby inhibiting LPS binding. This suppression of TLR4 glycosylation led to decreased production of nitric oxide and proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1\u03b2, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), as well as inhibition of intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation and NF-\u03baB activation. Furthermore, GDE treatment markedly improved survival and alleviated lung, liver, and spleen damage in an LPS-induced sepsis mouse model. In summary, these findings suggest that GDEs represent a promising nanomedicine strategy for sepsis prevention, offering targeted modulation of macrophage activity without apparent adverse effects.\n\nID: 41507517\nTitle: Anti-obesity Effects of Panax ginseng-derived exosomes via AMPK-mediated inhibition of adipocyte differentiation and lipogenesis.\nAbstract: This study investigated the anti-obesity potential of Panax ginseng-derived exosomes (PGE) by evaluating their influence on energy metabolism, adipogenesis, and lipid accumulation. PGEs were isolated using a tangential flow filtration system, yielding particles with an average diameter of 159.5\u00a0nm and a concentration of 3.9\u2009\u00d7\u20091012 particles/mL. In 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, PGE treatment resulted in a 72.1% reduction in lipid accumulation, as demonstrated by Oil Red O staining, indicating significant inhibition of adipogenic differentiation. Elevated expression of surface markers TET-8 (147.2%) verified the exosomal nature of the isolated vesicles. To determine their role in adipocyte differentiation, we analyzed gene and protein expression of key adipogenic markers-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-\u03b3), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha and beta, and fatty acid-binding protein 4-revealing reductions of 23.6-35.6% and 26.7-35.2%, respectively. These results indicate downregulation of transcriptional and translational pathways driving adipogenesis. Lipogenic regulators, including sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthase, were also suppressed by 24.9-41.0% (gene) and 22.8-24.5% (protein), indicating impaired fatty acid synthesis. Conversely, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) expression increased by up to 53.8% (gene) and 47.9% (protein), implying activation of energy homeostasis signaling. Immunofluorescence analysis showed a reduction in the MitoTracker/DAPI ratio (57.7-60.0%) and an increase in the F-actin/DAPI ratio (39.5-60.8%), indicating decreased mitochondrial activity and enhanced cytoskeletal integrity. These molecular changes were accompanied by AMPK activation and PPAR-\u03b3 inhibition. Collectively, these findings underscore the potential of PGEs as bioactive agents for obesity management by concurrently inhibiting adipogenesis and lipogenesis, providing a strong basis for their application in anti-obesity functional foods and pharmaceutical products.\n\nID: 41484169\nTitle: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles for itraconazole delivery across the blood-brain barrier for potential glioblastoma treatment.\nAbstract: Background A major challenge in central nervous system disorders such glioblastoma includes the presence of a blood-brain barrier which restricts the delivery of therapeutic agents to the brain, thereby limiting the effectiveness of most conventional treatments. Moreover, the discovery of novel drugs for glioblastoma has been limited hence drug repurposing has gained traction leveraging existing drugs like itraconazole. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have potential as a natural pharmaceutical delivery system owing to their therapeutic capabilities. These PDEVs may be a good candidate for blood-brain barrier permeation due to their biomolecular composition and high drug loading efficiency of itraconazole. In this work, PDEVs isolated from aloe aborescens (aloe), Zingiber officinale (ginger) and Nigella sativa seeds [black cumin seeds (BCS)] were compared in terms of their physicochemical properties, drug release kinetics, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake in glioblastoma cells and BBB permeability. Results All PDEVs displayed nanoscale sizes ranging from 103.5 to 141\u00a0nm with negative surface charge and a spherical morphological shape observed via SEM. The drug release kinetics was assessed using different mathematical models depicting the PDEVs prolonged drug release with <\u200950% releasing over 21 days. The cytotoxicity studies showed that the PDEVs resulted in a higher cell viability in the non-cancerous cell line compared to A172 glioblastoma cell line. The cellular internalization of the drug showed poor uptake of blank PDEVs compared to loaded PDEVs in glioblastoma cells. The BBB permeability test showed that ginger and aloe EVs permeated the BBB whilst BCS blank and loaded EVs did not permeate the BBB. Conclusions This delivery system improves the ability of plant-derived extracellular vesicles to cross the blood-brain barrier, addressing a key challenge in delivering treatments to the brain. Through successful encapsulation of itraconazole, it paves the way for glioblastoma treatment by repurposing itraconazole with improved efficacy and reduced side effects. Furthermore, this can be incorporated in various drug delivery vehicles depending on the route of administration and therapeutic outcome i.e. intranasal, intravenous, or oral route. Future studies focus on determining the composition of PDEVs to enable engineering strategies for next generation targeting via surface modification.\n\nID: 41469236\nTitle: Enhanced Delivery of Oral Biomacromolecules through Edible Plant-Derived Nanovehicles: Exploiting the Self-Amplifying Trancytosis Feedback Loop and Phosphatidic Acid.\nAbstract: The intestinal epithelium poses a formidable obstacle to the systemic absorption of the oral nanovehicles. Despite the development of extracellular vesicles (EVs) for drug delivery, there has been limited exploration into edible-product-derived EVs (EP-EVs), particularly those derived from plants as carriers to enhance the oral delivery of biomacromolecules. Here, we evaluated the potential of EP-EVs and highlighted their promising application and underlying mechanisms as orally delivered carriers from plant-derived EVs. Grape-derived EVs (Gra-EVs) were found to have superior efficacy in oral delivery of insulin to T1D rats compared to ginger-derived EVs (Gin-EVs) and milk-derived EVs (Mi-EVs), attributed to their enhanced endocytosis, secretion pathways, and more efficient transcytosis across epithelia. The capacity of Gra-EVs to regulate epithelial proteins associated with cytoskeletal organization, secretion, and recycling-related transport facilitated a robust positive feedback loop known as the self-amplifying feedback loop, thereby enhancing intestinal absorption. Notably, phosphatidic acid (PA), the phospholipid abundant in plant-derived EVs, was proved to augment the transcytosis through MAPK/ERK1/2 signaling pathway activation. Thus, edible plant-derived EVs, especially Gra-EVs, exploited the self-amplifying feedback loop and phosphatidic acid for improved oral delivery of biomacromolecules.\n\nID: 41330460\nTitle: Geniposidic acid from ginger-processed Eucommiae Cortex alleviates rheumatoid arthritis by modulating macrophage lactylation induced by exosomes from inflammatory fibroblast-like synoviocytes.\nAbstract: Eucommiae Cortex (EC), a Traditional Chinese health food product, is known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective effects, with promising potential in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study used liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to profile the bioactive compounds of ginger-processed EC (G-EC), focusing on its absorbed constituents and metabolic fate in vivo. Network pharmacology identified geniposidic acid (GPA) as a key bioavailable compound in G-EC, potentially alleviating RA. In vivo, GPA significantly improved RA symptoms. Additionally, exosomes from inflammatory fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) (LPS-exo) promoted M1 macrophage polarization, glycolytic activation, and synovial inflammation. GPA inhibited glycolysis, reduced M1 polarization induced by LPS-exo, and downregulated H3K56la histone lactylation. Mechanistic analysis suggested these effects involve the regulation of ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) and Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) expression. This study supports the therapeutic potential of GPA in RA and provides a foundation for further clinical research.\n\nID: 41277808\nTitle: Natural Ginger-Derived Exosomes as Effective Therapeutics for Glioblastoma.\nAbstract: Despite significant therapeutic advances with chemotherapy and immunotherapy in some solid tumors, clinical outcomes for glioblastoma multiform (GBM) remain suboptimal. Owing to their high yield, easy accessibility and cost-effectiveness, plant-derived extracellular vehicles (EVs) have become attractive platforms for biomedical uses. Our study shows that fully natural ginger-derived exosomes (GEXO) effectively inhibited GBM progression through dual mechanisms: (a) direct activation of apoptotic pathways in GBM cells, and (b) induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) that transforms dead tumor cells into endogenous vaccines. Mechanistically, GEXO demonstrated superior blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration through clathrin-, caveolin- and macropinocytosis-mediated transcytosis, followed by tumor-specific accumulation via exocytosis. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that GEXO promoted an immunogenic shift in dying GBM cells, enhancing dendritic cell maturation and cytotoxic T-cell responses. In orthotopic GL261 and CT2A models, GEXO significantly prolonged survival without observable toxicity. The natural GEXO platform represents a promising, biosafe strategy with clinical potential for refractory GBM.\n\nID: 42559350\nTitle: Development of a chitosan/polyethylene oxide/ginger nanocomposite: structural characterization and antibacterial performance.\nAbstract: The development of bio-based antibacterial materials using natural additives is a crucial strategy for reducing reliance on hazardous synthetic chemicals. This study investigated the effect of incorporating ginger nanoparticles (GNPs) at varying concentrations (1, 2, 3, and 4 mL) into a chitosan/polyethylene oxide (PEO) blend to enhance its antibacterial properties. XRD analysis revealed that hydrogen bonding between chitosan and PEO produced a broad peak at 23.60\u00b0. The addition of the GNPs intensified this peak and introduced a sharper feature at 19.00\u00b0, confirming the successful interaction between the nanoparticles and the polymer matrix. FTIR spectroscopy showed new C-O-C vibrational bands at 1107 cm-1 upon blending, with further spectral changes observed after GNP addition, indicating the formation or disappearance of specific functional groups. The incorporation of the GNPs was demonstrated by a new absorption peak at 235 nm, and the semi-crystalline nature of the nanocomposite was confirmed by optical analysis. TEM revealed that the GNPs had diameters of 36.6 \u00b1 13.8 nm, while zeta potential analysis at 25 \u00b0C recorded count rates of 106.8, 71.90, and 83.50 kcps for three distinct particle bands, and the mean was -19.33 mV, with a zeta potential deviation of 14.0 mV. The value of the zeta potential indicated the moderate stability of the GNPs. SEM demonstrated that increasing the GNP concentration led to larger, aggregated particle morphologies, with complete coalescence at the highest concentration. The chitosan/PEO blend exhibited higher thermal stability than pure chitosan, while the final polymer nanocomposite showed reduced residue levels at elevated temperatures. Antibacterial testing against Gram-positive (Enterococcus and Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella) bacteria demonstrated that the GNP-loaded nanocomposite exhibited enhanced antimicrobial activity compared with the pure polymer blend. For Gram-negative bacteria, the activity was small or negligible. These results position the chitosan/PEO/GNP nanocomposite as a promising bio-based material for antibacterial applications.\n\nID: 42506471\nTitle: Green-Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles from Zingiber officinale: Physicochemical Characterization, Antibacterial Activity, and TMPRSS2-Modulating Potential.\nAbstract: In this study, green-synthesized silver nanoparticles derived from Zingiber officinale (G-AgNPs) were investigated as potential modulators of transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2), a host-associated protease involved in viral entry mechanisms. Before nanoparticle synthesis, the phytochemical composition of ginger extract was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with photodiode array detection. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized using aqueous ginger extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The nanoparticles were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis.), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The synthesized silver nanoparticles exhibited a face-centered cubic (fcc) crystalline structure, nanoscale particle size distribution, and moderate colloidal stability. Transmission electron microscopy revealed predominantly quasi-spherical nanoparticles with an average diameter of 10.61 \u00b1 1.31 nm, while X-ray diffraction indicated an average crystallite size of 15.28 \u00b1 5.48 nm. Biological evaluation demonstrated robust, broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, with distinct susceptibility profiles. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values were 3.125 \u00b5g/mL and 12.5 \u00b5g/mL, and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) values were 6.25 \u00b5g/mL and 25.0 \u00b5g/mL, respectively. Cell culture assays confirmed high cytocompatibility with L929 fibroblasts at all tested concentrations. In a fluorometric enzyme assay, the silver nanoparticles inhibited TMPRSS2 activity in a concentration-dependent manner, achieving 51.24% inhibition at 100 \u00b5g/mL and an estimated IC50 of 40.06 \u00b5g/mL. Although the inhibitory activity was lower than that of Camostat, the findings suggest that ginger-mediated silver nanoparticles represent promising plant-based nano-bioactive systems for further investigation of TMPRSS2 modulation.\n\nID: 42423036\nTitle: Preparation, characterization, and preventive effects of ginseng polysaccharide-stabilized selenium nanoparticles against DSS-induced colitis.\nAbstract: To overcome the poor colloidal stability of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) and combine ginseng polysaccharide bioactivity with nano selenium advantages for ulcerative colitis prevention. Ginseng polysaccharide functionalized SeNPs (GP-SeNPs) were prepared. Particle size, in vitro antioxidant activity, cellular uptake, and protection against H2O2\u2011induced oxidative stress were assessed. A DSS\u2011induced colitis mouse model was used to assess preventive effects. GP-SeNPs showed smaller particle size (101.00\u2009\u00b1\u20091.22\u2009nm), strong antioxidant activity, enhanced cellular uptake, and protection against oxidative stress in vitro. In DSS mice, GP-SeNPs alleviated colon shortening, weight loss, disease activity index, pro\u2011inflammatory cytokine mRNA expression, oxidative stress, and colonic histopathological damage. Ginseng polysaccharide functionalization improved the stability and biological performance of SeNPs, supporting their development as functional ingredients for intestinal health protection.\n\nID: 42391247\nTitle: Effects of ginger-loaded chitosan nanoparticles on growth, morphological and biochemical attributes of Sesamum indicum L.\nAbstract: Chitosan nanoparticles (ChNPs) have gained attention due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity, and are found in a wide range of agricultural products. The green synthesis and characterization of ChNPs using ginger extract were evaluated for their effects on biochemical and morphological parameters in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.). Ginger-loaded ChNPs synthesis, size, structure, morphology, and\u00a0crystallinity\u00a0were confirmed via UV-Vis spectrophotometry, DLS (151.7 nm,\u2009\u00b1\u200930 mV), FTIR, SEM, and XRD, respectively. Foliar applications of ChNPs (50 mg L-1 and 100 mg L-1) and pesticides confidor (2.5 mL L-1) confidor\u2009+\u2009talstar (2.5 mL L-1) were applied at flowering and capsule stages under controlled conditions. ChNPs at 100 mg L\u2009\u207b\u2009\u00b9 significantly enhanced plant height 5.3%, leaf area 26.5%, number of capsules 43.6%, capsule weight (12.4%), stem diameter 34.4%, total chlorophyll 11.9%, and catalase activity 53.1% compared with the control (P\u2009<\u20090.05), while reducing peroxidase 85.7% and PAL 59%. In contrast, confidor and confidor\u2009+\u2009talstar treatments showed compromised effects. Present research demonstrated that green synthesized ChNPs have good potential for use in agriculture and can significantly increase sesame growth and yield.\n\nID: 42207394\nTitle: The ginger-derived nanovesicles-coated albumin nanoparticles induce cell death and epigenetic regulation to treat colorectal cancer.\nAbstract: Due to the limitations of conventional cancer chemotherapy, including low bioavailability, limited indicators of therapeutic improvement, and unclear side effects, numerous laboratories have been actively engaged in the development of drug delivery systems. Here, we designed and synthesized a plant-derived ginger exosome-coated albumin nanoparticle drug delivery system (GEBSS) loaded with Shikonin (SHK) and STM2457 (a METTL3 inhibitor) and probes into the mechanism of antitumor. We prepared and characterized GEBSS nanoparticles and evaluated their in vitro cellular uptake and targeting capabilities. The in vitro antitumor efficacy was assessed by measuring cell viability, clonogenic formation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and apoptosis markers; biosafety was confirmed via a hemolysis assay. Furthermore, the ability of GEBSS to induce ICD was validated through Western blotting, ATP detection, and immunofluorescence assays, while its role in epigenetic regulation was elucidated using Dot Blot, MeRIP-qPCR, and RNA stability experiments. Finally, the in vivo antitumor effect of GEBSS was verified by intravenous administration in a nude mouse subcutaneous tumor model. A subsequent characterization revealed that GEBSS exhibited a concentrated size distribution around 142\u00a0nm, were efficiently absorbed by colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, and demonstrated inhibitory effects on tumor cell proliferation. In vivo experiments demonstrated excellent tumor-targeting ability, anti-tumor efficacy, and biocompatibility of GEBSS. Mechanistically, GEBSS induced apoptosis and immunogenic cell death (ICD) in tumor cells. Moreover, at the epigenetic regulation level, GEBSS suppressed cell proliferation by reducing the m6A methylation levels of immune checkpoint genes PD-L1 and CD47. This study explored the feasibility of producing naturally derived nanocarriers and, for the first time, employed a combination of SHK and STM2457 for CRC treatment, offering novel strategies and insights for nanomedicine in CRC treatment.\n\nID: 42073253\nTitle: BSA-Coated Metal-Phenolic Complex Assembly of 8-Shogaol Nanoparticles: Characterization, Stability, and Slow-Release Properties.\nAbstract: This study reports a self-assembled ternary delivery system composed of bovine serum albumin (BSA), Fe(III), and 8-Shogaol (BSA-Fe(III)-8S) to enhance the stability of this labile ginger-derived bioactive compound. Optimized nanoparticles prepared via one-pot coprecipitation exhibited a particle size of 115.14 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.084, zeta potential of +52.23 mV, encapsulation efficiency of 94.93%, and loading capacity of 23.73%. Spectroscopic analyses (FT-IR, UV-Vis, XPS) and fluorescence quenching confirmed the formation of a core-shell metal-phenolic network, where Fe(III) coordinates with 8-Shogaol and BSA forms the outer protein shell. Compared to free 8-Shogaol, the BSA-Fe(III)-8S MPN nanoparticles demonstrated significantly enhanced thermal, UV, and storage stability. During simulated gastrointestinal digestion, the nanoparticles retained 64.04% of 8-Shogaol, compared to only 51.38% for the free compound. Cytotoxicity assays on HEK293 cells confirmed the biocompatibility of the nanoparticles. This BSA-Fe(III)-8S delivery system offers a promising strategy for protecting bioactive phenolic compounds, with potential applications in functional foods and nutraceutical formulations.\n\nID: 41904426\nTitle: Comparative analysis of horsetail and lavender-derived nanovesicles in wound healing and antioxidant defense.\nAbstract: BACKGROUND: Plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (pEVs) have emerged as promising natural biomaterials due to their safety profile, high biocompatibility, and rich bioactive cargo. In particular, pEVs have attracted interest because of their roles in intercellular communication. This study aimed to isolate and comprehensively characterize pEVs derived from Equisetum arvense (H-EVs) and Lavandula angustifolia (L-EVs), and to evaluate their morphological features, protein content, and biological functions, with a specific focus on wound healing, senescence, oxidative stress modulation, and antimicrobial activity. RESULTS: H-EVs and L-EVs displayed spherical morphology, high stability, narrow size distribution, and substantial protein content as confirmed by TEM and DLS analyses. In vitro assays in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and keratinocytes (HaCaT) demonstrated that both pEV types were non-cytotoxic and significantly enhanced cellular metabolic activity. Scratch wound assays revealed markedly accelerated wound closure, driven by a combination of cell migration and proliferation. Senescence analyses showed reduced \u03b2-galactosidase activity and improved cellular morphology following with pEV treatment. Antioxidant assessments indicated increased total antioxidant capacity, decreased oxidant load, and a reduced oxidative stress index. Gene expression analysis by qPCR confirmed upregulation of COL1A1, COL1A2, and FGF, supporting extracellular matrix production and tissue repair. Additionally, both H-EVs and L-EVs exhibited notable antibacterial and antifungal activities. CONCLUSIONS: H-EVs and L-EVs effectively alleviate oxidative stress and cellular senescence while promoting wound healing through enhanced collagen synthesis, cell migration, and proliferation. Their non-cytotoxic nature, combined with antioxidant, anti-senescent, and antimicrobial properties, underscores their versatility and therapeutic potential. These findings highlight that pEVs as safe and effective biotherapeutic candidates, supporting their future clinical translation in dermatology and regenerative medicine.\n\nID: 41901427\nTitle: Plant-Derived Nanocarriers for Drug Delivery: A Unified Framework Integrating Extracellular Vesicles, Engineered Phytocarriers, Hybrid Platforms, and Bioinspired Systems.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs), engineered phytosomes, bioinspired polymeric plant-based nanoparticles (PBNPs), hybrid phyto-inorganic nanocomposites, green-synthesized metal nanoparticles, self-assembled nanoarchitectures, and multifunctional composites represent a rapidly advancing class of sustainable, nature-inspired nanocarriers. These platforms combine exceptional biocompatibility, negligible immunogenicity, and renewable sourcing with tunable drug loading, targeted delivery, and controlled release properties. This review synthesizes translational advances from 2020 to 2026, covering scalable isolation/bioprocessing (bioreactors, elicitation), multi-parametric physicochemical/multi-omics characterization, rational engineering/hybridization, and rigorous in vitro/in vivo assessments of uptake, biodistribution, pharmacokinetic (PK), and efficacy. Phytosomes and PBNPs markedly enhance oral bioavailability and targeted delivery of lipophilic phytochemicals, while PDEVs offer unique immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and gene-regulatory activities. Hybrid and green-synthesized systems provide structural stability, redox modulation, and synergistic effects, and self-assembled/multifunctional composites address solubilization barriers with stimuli-responsive design. Early-phase human studies on grapefruit-, ginger-, turmeric-, and ginseng-derived PDEVs report excellent short-term safety, favorable PK, and preliminary bioactivity signals, with no observed immunogenicity or dose-limiting toxicities; however, these trials remain exploratory, constrained by small sample sizes and safety-focused endpoints. Despite challenges, including methodological heterogeneity, variable yields, long-term safety uncertainties (notably for inorganic hybrids), and regulatory ambiguities, emerging strategies such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-engineered plant line; artificial-intelligence-driven process optimization; standardized guidelines, and integrated clinical, intellectual property, and commercialization frameworks are progressively addressing these barriers. Collectively, these advances position plant-derived nanocarriers as immunologically privileged, eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic and mammalian platforms, laying the foundation for a sustainable era of precision phytomedicine.\n\nID: 41808724\nTitle: Thin films coating with ZnO nanoparticles synthesized via acetic acid bacteria: Structural and antibacterial characterization for food applications.\nAbstract: In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were synthesized using extracellular metabolites of acetic acid bacteria (AAB) derived from fermented beverages, and then a thin film coating of ZnO NPs was created via spin coating techniques. ZnO NPs and thin films obtained were characterized using physical, structural, and biological techniques. Firstly, two AAB isolates were obtained from olive leaf vinegar and kombucha with ginger, and genotypically identified. ZnO NPs synthesis by N. hansenii B1 and N. hansenii B2 was indicated by a white precipitate and confirmed for both NPs and thin films by UV-Vis absorption at 300-400\u00a0nm. SEM images revealed agglomerated ZnO NPs and homogeneous nanosized thin films, while EDX analysis confirmed their pure phase composition with zinc and oxygen peaks. XRD results showed the presence of monoclinic and cubic crystal ZnO NPs, with crystallite sizes ranging from 9.68 to 35.11\u00a0nm, while the thin films were amorphous. FTIR spectra revealed 519 and 3350\u00a0cm-\u20091 peaks corresponding to ZnO bonds. The measurements of water contact angles of ZnO thin films exhibited hydrophilic surface characteristics. Moreover, ZnO NPs exhibited strong antibacterial activity, being effective against S. aureus and E. coli O157:H7 (12.50-14.00\u00a0mm), with minimum inhibitory concentration values of 0.625-1.25\u00a0mg/mL. The inhibition zones of thin films were found between 0.50 and 2.38\u00a0mm, and both films completely inhibited E. coli O157:H7 in direct contact tests after 2\u00a0h. These findings suggest that green-synthesized ZnO NPs and their thin films have great potential as antimicrobial applications in various food, medicine, and related fields.

This critical issue poses a considerable threat to patient safety and the effectiveness of conventional treatments, primarily through modulation of the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzyme system, a key metabolic pathway for many drugs. This research aims to elucidate how herbal remedies affect CYP450 enzyme activity, thereby influencing drug pharmacokinetics. Our methodology involves a comprehensive critical evaluation of existing scientific data from in silico, in vitro, and in vivo studies, clinical trials, and meta-analyses to identify specific herbal medicines with significant effects on CYP450. The investigation outlines their mechanisms of action, distinguishing between enzyme induction, which can diminish drug efficacy, and inhibition, which may lead to increased drug concentrations and toxicity. It was highlighted that certain medicinal plants and their bioactive compounds may act as inducers or inhibitors across major isoforms, including CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4. Comprehensive data were compiled for ten plant species with the most extensive scientific information regarding their effects on CYP450, namely St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum L.), Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench), Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba L.), Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge), Garlic (Allium sativum L.), Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe), Milk thistle (Silybum marianum L. Gaertn.), Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa L.), Ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Mey), and Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.). Ultimately, this study underscores the vital role of the CYP450 system in mediating these interactions and advocates for increased awareness among healthcare professionals and patients. Looking ahead, conducting robust, standardised clinical trials, developing predictive interaction models, and performing comprehensive analyses of herbal constituents are crucial to ensuring safe and effective pharmacotherapy involving herbal medicines.\n\nID: 41508488\nTitle: Mechanistic insights into ginsenoside Rd nanoparticles-mediated protection against memory impairment: From preparation and physicochemical characterization to in vivo efficacy.\nAbstract: Ginsenoside Rd, a protopanaxadiol abundant in Panax ginseng and Panax notoginseng, possesses well-documented neuroprotective properties but suffers from low bioavailability. Here, we engineered nanoparticles from zein, chitosan-\u03b1-lipoic acid copolymer, and sodium alginate for the delivery of ginsenoside Rd (Rd) and evaluated their efficacy in alleviating scopolamine-induced memory impairment in a mouse model. The results demonstrated that the nanoparticles successfully encapsulated Rd, with an encapsulation efficiency of approximately 73.23\u00a0%, and exhibited a hollow spherical morphology. Additionally, the carrier exhibited exceptional stability under varying temperature and salt ion conditions, along with the ability to be readily redispersed. The incorporation of Rd into nanoparticles significantly improved its antioxidant efficacy, as well as its stability and sustained release profile in the gastrointestinal environment. In vivo experiments demonstrated that Rd-loaded nanoparticles significantly improved scopolamine-induced memory deficits, oxidative stress, cholinergic system dysfunction, and neuronal damage in the hippocampal region of mice, outperforming the effects of ginsenoside Rd alone. Western blot results indicated that Rd-loaded nanoparticles improved memory-impaired mice by upregulating p-CaMKII, p-CREB, and BDNF protein expression through modulating the long-term potentiation pathway. We further found that Rd-loaded nanoparticles treatment increased the richness and diversity of gut microbiota. This study provides a promising strategy for the effective treatment of improving learning memory.\n\nID: 41471741\nTitle: Comparative Analysis of the Composition of Exosome-like Nanoparticles from Dried and Fresh Portulaca oleracea L.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) have emerged as a promising area of research in biotechnology with enormous potential in drug delivery, skincare, and functional foods. Currently, PEVs are obtained primarily from fresh and dried materials through soaking and extraction; however, little is known about the differences in their contents. Using Portulaca oleracea L. as the research object, this study firstly employed a method that combined differential and ultracentrifugation with membrane filtration to separate and purify exosome-like nanoparticles from dried material (D-PELNs) and fresh material (F-PELNs). Then, multi-omics analysis compared the small-molecule metabolites, lipid profiles, and protein expression patterns. Both D-PELNs and F-PELNs showed typical cup-shaped morphology, with mean particle sizes of 139 nm and 186 nm, and mean zeta potentials of -16.015 \u00b1 0.335 mV and -6.29 \u00b1 0.19 mV, respectively. Both types contained diverse small-molecule metabolites. Among them, terpenoids (e.g., caesaldekarin e) were more abundant in F-PELNs, whereas carboxylic acids and their derivatives (e.g., citric acid) were predominantly found in D-PELNs. Both types had abundant lipids. D-PELNs exhibited greater lipid diversity than F-PELNs, with notable enrichment in phosphatidylcholine (18.48%) and ceramide (17.02%). F-PELNs mainly consisted of functional neutral lipids, such as monoglycerides and triglycerides. Proteins involved in plant morphogenesis and secondary-metabolite biosynthesis were also identified. Proteins from both Portulaca oleracea L.-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs) were localized to intracellular structures, including the cytoplasm and mitochondria of the cells. D-PELNs had a higher protein content related to carbon metabolism, whereas F-PELNs were more enriched in proteins related to secondary metabolite synthesis. In summary, D-PELNs and F-PELNs were successfully isolated and characterized, and their compositions were analyzed and compared using multi-omics approaches. These findings identify the specific chemical components of PELNs and offer new insights for comparing the compositional differences between exosome-like nanoparticles derived from dried and fresh plant states.\n\nID: 41259302\nTitle: Sustainable green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles utilizing Zingiber officinale peel aqueous extract, characterization, and determination of its anticancer and antimicrobial potential.\nAbstract: This study demonstrates the green synthesis, characterization, and biomedical applications of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) using Zingiber officinale (Z. officinale) (ginger) peel extract. Green synthesis offers advantages over conventional methods, including environmental friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and enhanced biocompatibility. Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy confirmed ZnONPs formation with a peak at 364\u2009nm. Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis revealed characteristic peaks indicating functional groups involved in nanoparticle formation. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis showed spherical/agglomerated nanoparticles, and Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed 77.7% zinc oxide by mass%. The X-ray Diffraction (XRD) indicated an average particle size of 24.67\u2009nm with distinct crystal orientations. Phytochemical analysis detected alkaloids, saponins, and steroids in the extract. Optimal synthesis occurred at 50-60\u00b0C and pH 10, yielding stable ZnONPs. The ZnONPs exhibited significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis), Bacillus cereus (B. cereus), Escherichia coli (E.coli), Zymomonas mobilis (Z. mobilis), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), as well as antifungal activity against Candida albicans (C. albicans). The in vitro cytotoxicity study on M.D. Anderson - Metastatic Breast - 231 (MDA-MB-231) breast cancer cells showed a dose-dependent reduction in cell viability [Half-maximal Inhibitory Concentration (IC50) = 82.13 \u00b5g/mL] with notable morphological changes at higher concentrations. The ZnONPs synthesized from ginger peel extract are innovative, environmentally friendly, and economical. Our findings show that biologically generated ZnONPs are effective antibacterial and antifungal agents against several pathogens. This research uniquely demonstrates the potential of ginger peel, a commonly discarded agro-waste, as a sustainable source for ZnONPs synthesis, highlighting its biotechnological and medicinal applications. The novelty of this study lies in the green synthesis approach using ginger peel and the comprehensive evaluation of its antimicrobial and anticancer properties. Further in-depth studies and optimization are needed to validate their therapeutic efficacy and safety.\n\nID: 40589006\nTitle: Novel Nanoformulations to Overcome Obstacles in Herbal Drug Delivery for Alzheimer's Disease.\nAbstract: Nanomedicine is a rapidly growing field in pharmaceutical science, driven by the enhanced quality of nano-formulations that improve the treatment of various diseases. Nano-sized novel drug delivery techniques for herbal pharmaceuticals have the potential to enhance activity and address concerns related to medicinal plants in the future. Natural chemicals show promise in various neurodegenerative diseases, but their permeability across the blood-brain barrier prevents them from reaching the nervous system. By improving molecular monitoring, synthesis, and diagnostics, pharmaceutical nanotechnology provides improved controlled drug delivery for the treatment of neurodegeneration. The evaluated and investigated data from recent studies were gathered using Google Scholar as a search engine. We reviewed and analysed research publications from databases like Bentham Science, Elsevier, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, among others, to summarize the findings. Curcumin, Centella asiatica, thymoquinone, Hypericum perforatum, Panax ginseng, quercetin, piperine, and a variety of other herbs and herbal medicines have all been examined for their potential to aid in the treatment of brain disorders like Alzheimer's disease. To enhance drug bioavailability in the brain, nanoformulations, including phytosomes, transferosomes, ethosomes, and niosomes, have been utilized as pharmaceuticals. Herbs and herbal medicines have been synthesized into nanoparticle form to enhance tissue distribution, achieve sustained delivery, and protect against physicochemical degradation while also increasing the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble herbal products. To overcome physiological complications, researchers must develop lab-scale approaches, characterization methodologies, and targeting tactics for nanoformulations with high translational potential early in product development.\n\nID: 40429997\nTitle: Harnessing Mammalian- and Plant-Derived Exosomes for Drug Delivery: A Comparative Review.\nAbstract: Exosomes, nanoscale vesicles involved in intercellular communication, have garnered significant attention for their potential in drug delivery and therapeutic applications. This review provides a comparative analysis of mammalian-derived exosomes, particularly milk-derived exosomes, and plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PDENs). It explores their biogenesis, bioactivities, and functional similarities, including their roles in cellular communication, immune modulation, and disease therapy. While milk-derived exosomes exhibit promising biocompatibility and stability for targeted delivery, PDENs offer distinct advantages, such as scalability and inherent bioactivities, derived from their plant sources. Despite similarities in their structure and cargo, PDENs differ in lipid composition and protein profiles, reflecting plant-specific functions. Emerging research highlights the therapeutic potential of PDENs in managing inflammation, oxidative stress, and other diseases, emphasizing their utility as functional food components and nanocarriers. However, challenges related to their chemical stability and large-scale production require further investigation. This review underscores the need for advanced studies to fully harness the potential of these natural nanocarriers in drug-delivery systems and therapeutic interventions.\n\nID: 40243085\nTitle: Preparation, characterization, in vitro digestion properties and antioxidant activity of ginger polysaccharide nano-selenium.\nAbstract: In order to improve the stability of nano-selenium, ginger polysaccharide (GP) was employed as both a stabilizer and modifier to develop ginger polysaccharide nano-selenium (GP-SeNPs). Subsequently, the in vitro digestion characteristics and antioxidant activity of GP-SeNPs were investigated. The characterization results revealed that GP-SeNPs exhibited a novel absorption peak at approximately 270\u2009nm in the UW-visible spectrum; moreover, distinct absorption peaks were observed at 827.43 and 2360.79\u2009cm-1 in the Fourier transform infrared spectrum, whereas a broad diffraction peak appeared between 25\u00b0 and 30\u00b0 in the X-ray diffraction pattern; scanning electron microscopy further demonstrated that GP-SeNPs formed particle-like surface structures. These findings collectively indicated successful preparation of GP-SeNPs. The average particle size of the GP-SeNPs system was smaller, and the absolute value of Zeta potential was greater, indicating enhanced stability in the GP-SeNPs system. After undergoing in vitro digestion simulation by the saliva and gastric juice, GP-SeNPs exhibited structural stability; however, upon exposure to in vitro digestion simulation by the intestine, GP underwent degradation, rupture or conformational changes, resulting in the disruption of nanoparticle structure and loss of nanoscale properties. After intestinal digestion, the selenium release rate of GP-SeNPs increased rapidly. The highest scavenging ability of GP-SeNPs on \u00b7ABTS+, \u00b7DPPH and \u00b7OH free radicals were 99.25%, 70.23% and 66.68%, respectively, significantly higher than GP. The antioxidant activity of GP was significantly enhanced through selenium modification, whereas GP-SeNPs contributed to the enhancement of SeNPs bioavailability in the intestine. \u00a9 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.\n\nID: 39737211\nTitle: Lipidomic analysis of plant-derived extracellular vesicles for guidance of potential anti-cancer therapy.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) have been regarded as a superior source for nanomedicine and drug delivery systems. Nevertheless, their clinical translation is hindered by the lack of clarity and even contradiction in their biomedical applications. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive compositional analysis of four commonly used PEVs to fully understand their functional lipid contents and assess their potential therapeutic applications. The lipidomic analysis revealed the presence of cytotoxic gingerols and shogaols in ginger-derived EVs (GEVs). Subsequent in vitro and in vivo investigations substantiated the remarkable tumor cell inhibitory and tumor growth suppression efficacy of GEVs. The transcriptomic analysis indicated that GEVs regulate the cell cycle and p53 signaling pathways, thereby inducing cancer cell apoptosis. The supplementary proteomic analysis suggested the potential protein markers in PEV research. These findings highlight the value of multi-omics analyses in elucidating the potential therapeutic effects of PEVs and in advancing the development of PEV-based therapies.\n\nID: 39716732\nTitle: Isolation and characterization of medicinal plant-based extracellular vesicles as nano delivery systems for ascorbic acid.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are natural nanovesicles for drug delivery. This study isolated and characterised EVs from medicinal plants as delivery vehicles. Precipitation method was employed for the isolation and characterised using DLS, SEM, and TEM. The encapsulation efficiency (EE) and antioxidant activity of ascorbic acid (AA)-EVs were evaluated. The total yields of lyophilised vesicles per weight of the sample were 6.0, 8.6 and 9.2\u2009mg/g for garlic, turmeric and ginger, respectively. Mean size of garlic-derived EVs, ginger-derived EVs, and turmeric-derived EVs were 101.0\u2009\u00b1\u20096.7, 226.4\u2009\u00b1\u200962.2 and 90.7\u2009\u00b1\u20092.5\u2009nm, respectively. The zeta potential of the EVs was between -33.2\u2009\u00b1\u200910.9 and -28.8\u2009\u00b1\u20098.43\u2009mV. Spherical morphology of the nanovesicles was confirmed by SEM and TEM. The EE of the EVs was between 78.1\u2009\u00b1\u20092.8% and 87.2\u2009\u00b1\u20091.4%. Overall, the antioxidant activity of AA-loaded EVs was better compared to free AA. This study provides evidence that these medicinal plants are rich sources for developing nanotherapeutics.\n\nID: 39679248\nTitle: Green Synthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles Using Zingiber officinale Extracts to Investigate Their Antibacterial Potential.\nAbstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a significant global concern. To combat this growing threat, various strategies have been employed, including the use of plant extracts and the biosynthesis of nanoparticles (NPs). The current study was designed to evaluate the phytochemical analysis of ginger (Zingiber officinale) extracts, characterize the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and to see their antibacterial potentials against multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial strains. The extracts were prepared and initially assessed for their phytochemical composition and antibacterial activity. Then, AgNPs were synthesized from these extracts at room temperature, and various analytical techniques, including UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), ATIR-FTIR, zeta sizer, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA), were used to characterize the NPs. After confirmation of prepared NPs, they were subjected to their antibacterial activity. HPLC analysis demonstrated the presence of eight phytoconstituents in organic ginger extracts. The absorption spectra of the silver suspension exhibited surface plasmon resonance peaks with maxima between 420 and 448 nm. Functional groups like C-H, N-H, OH, C-O-C, C=O, and C-O were identified in both the organic and aqueous extracts of Z. officinale, playing a key role in the formation of AgNPs, as characterized by ATR-FTIR analysis. Both ginger organic and aqueous extract synthesized AgNPs crystalline structure was shown in XRD analysis and the particle size distribution showed average diameter of 200.5 nm of AgNPs from aqueous extracts. Scanning Electron Microscopy displayed spherical structure and EDA results showed the percentage of elements in synthesized AgNPs using plant extracts. Most promising antibacterial activity was obtained against Escherichia coli ie 20.83\u00b10.53 for 100\u00a0\u00b5g/mL. The results of the current study showed that AgNPs synthesized from different ginger extracts have promising antibacterial properties and can be potential candidates for alternative treatment options for bacterial infections.\n\nID: 39605957\nTitle: Structural and antimicrobial properties of synthesized gold nanoparticles using biological and chemical approaches.\nAbstract: This study explores the synthesis and characterization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using green and chemical methods, employing ginger extract and curcumin as reducing agents, in comparison to sodium citrate reduction. The biosynthesized AuNPs synthesized with ginger extract exhibited an average hydrodynamic diameter of 15 and 10\u00a0nm for curcumin-conjugated AuNPs, while chemically synthesized AuNPs with sodium citrate displayed an average size of 10\u00a0nm. Assessments via Zeta potential measurements revealed negative surface charges across all samples, with the curcumin-conjugated AuNPs showing -36.3\u00a0mV, ginger extract-synthesized AuNPs showing -31.7\u00a0mV, and chemically produced gold nanoparticles having a surface charge of -40.4\u00a0mV. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) confirmed spherical morphologies for the synthesized nanoparticles,and it revealed the presence of biomolecules embedded within the nanoparticles synthesized using biological materials, whereas chemically synthesized AuNPs lacked such features. The FTIR spectra of the biosynthesized AuNPs highlighted the presence of phenolic and aromatic compounds from the ginger extract and curcumin, indicating their role in coating the nanoparticles. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis identified gingerol as a key component in the ginger extract, contributing to nanoparticle capping. The antimicrobial efficacy of the AuNPs was evaluated against P. aeruginosa, E. coli, and S. aureus, revealing superior activity for curcumin-AuNPs, with ginger-AuNPs also outperforming chemically synthesized counterparts. These findings confirm the advantages of biological approaches, using a plant extract like ginger and pure curcumin suspension, for better size distribution when used as reducing agents, along with improved antimicrobial efficacy compared to chemically produced gold nanoparticles synthesized with sodium citrate. This study also highlight the potential of green-synthesized AuNPs in biomedical applications, due to their enhanced stability from higher surface charge and the repeatability of biological methods.\n\nID: 39539163\nTitle: Green synthesized Zingiber officinale-ZnO nanoparticles: anticancer efficacy against 3D breast cancer model.\nAbstract: Aim: ZnO NPs were prepared via green synthesis utilizing Zingiber Officinale.Methodology: Physical characterization and biological activity were performed against 2D, and 3D spheroids MCF-7 cell lines.Results: The NPs exhibited 188.9, 175.7 and 171.2\u00a0nm size with charge of -8.2, -11.7 and -9.7\u00a0mV for the 2%, 3% and 4% formulations. XRD confirmed a wurtzite hexagonal phase. FTIR spectra showed Zn-O stretching vibrations. The 2%, 3% and 4% formulations presented IC50 values of 14.7, 26.2 and 47\u00a0\u03bcg/ml, respectively, with complete destruction of MCF-7 spheroids. Elevated TNF-\u03b1 levels suggested an inflammatory-mediated mechanism of action.Conclusion: 2% Zingiber officinale-derived ZnO NPs showed antitumor potential against deserving further mechanistic and in vivo explorations. We created tiny particles from ginger extract to test their ability to fight breast cancer. These particles were carefully studied to understand their size, stability and structure. Our tests showed that these ginger-based particles effectively killed cancer cells in a more realistic 3D model, suggesting they might be a powerful new treatment for breast cancer. Further studies are needed to explore their potential use in real-life treatments.\n\nID: 39124849\nTitle: Nano-Characterization, Composition Analysis, and Anti-Inflammatory Activity of American-Ginseng-Derived Vesicle-like Nanoparticles.\nAbstract: Medicinal plant-derived vesicle-like nanoparticles can carry chemical components and exert intercellular activity due to the encapsulation of nanostructures. American ginseng is well known as a traditional herb and is commonly used in clinical decoctions. However, the nano-characteristics and chemical composition of American-ginseng-derived vesicle-like nanoparticles (AGVNs) in decoctions are unclear. In this study, the gradient centrifugation method was used to extract and isolate AGVNs. A metabolomic method based on high-resolution mass spectrometry was established to analyze small molecules loaded in AGVNs. Zebrafish and RAW264.7 cells were employed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of AGVNs. The results showed that the particle size of AGVNs was generally 243.6 nm, and the zeta potential was -14.5 mV. AGVNs were found to contain 26 ginsenosides (14 protopanaxadiols, 11 protopanaxatriols, and 1 oleanolic acid). Ginsenoside Rb1 and malonyl-ginsenoside Rb1 tended to be enriched in AGVNs. Moreover, AGVNs were found to exert anti-inflammatory effects by reducing macrophage migration in zebrafish and regulating inflammatory factor (NO, TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, IL-10) secretion in RAW 264.7 cells. The characterization and analysis of AGVNs provide references and data that support the development of nanoscale anti-inflammatory substances from medicinal plants.\n\nID: 38964625\nTitle: Overview of Panax ginseng and its active ingredients protective mechanism on cardiovascular diseases.\nAbstract: Panax ginseng is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine used to treat cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and it is still widely used to improve the clinical symptoms of various CVDs. However, there is currently a lack of summary and analysis on the mechanism of Panax ginseng exerts its cardiovascular protective effects. This article provides a review of in vivo and in vitro pharmacological studies on Panax ginseng and its active ingredients in reducing CVDs damage. This review summarized the latest literature on Panax ginseng and its active ingredients in CVDs research, aiming to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the cardiovascular protection mechanism of Panax ginseng, and to provide new ideas for the treatment of CVDs, as well as to optimize the clinical application of Panax ginseng. Enrichment of pathways and biological terms using the traditional Chinese medicine molecular mechanism bioinformatics analysis tool (BATMAN-TCM). The literature search is based on electronic databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, CNKI, with a search period of 2002-2023. The search terms include Panax ginseng, Panax ginseng ingredients, ginsenosides, ginseng polysaccharides, ginseng glycoproteins, ginseng volatile oil, CVDs, heart, and cardiac. 132 articles were ultimately included in the review. The ingredients in Panax ginseng that manifested cardiovascular protective effects are mainly ginsenosides (especially ginsenoside Rb1). Ginsenosides protected against CVDs such as ischemic reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis and heart failure mainly through improving energy metabolism, inhibiting hyper-autophagy, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and promoting secretion of exosomes. Panax ginseng and its active ingredients have a particularly prominent effect on improving myocardial energy metabolism remodeling in protecting against CVDs. The AMPK and PPAR signaling pathways are the key targets through which Panax ginseng produces multiple mechanisms of cardiovascular protection. Extracellular vesicles and nanoparticles as carriers are potential delivery ways for optimizing the bioavailability of Panax ginseng and its active ingredients.\n\nID: 38882889\nTitle: Pharmacological Effect of Copper Oxide Nanoparticles of Azadirachta indica Leaf Extract and Application for its Antibacterial Properties.\nAbstract: Nanoparticles prepared from bio-reduction agents are of keen interest to researchers around the globe due to their ability to mitigate the harmful effects of chemicals. In this regard, the present study aims to synthesize copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs). CuNPs show a characteristic absorption peak at 347 nm, while SEM reveals the spherical but agglomerated shape of CuNPs of the size within the range of 51.26-56.66 nm. The crystallite size measured by using XRD was found to be within a range of 23.38-46.64 nm for ginger-doped CuO and 26-56 nm for garlic-doped CuO. The X-ray diffraction analysis shows the crystalline structure of copper nanoparticles with prominent peaks. Bragg's reflection of copper nanoparticles shows diffraction peaks around 2\u03b8 =43.4\u00b0, 50.3\u00b0, and 74.39\u00b0, representing [111], [200], and [220] crystallographic planes of face-centered cubic (fcc). The synthesized CuO NPs tested antibacterial properties against various strains of microorganisms, including Escherichia coli, 25 \u03bcg/mL 2.3 \u00b1 0.21 and 100 \u03bcg/mL 6.5 \u00b1 0.17, Staphylococcus aureus, 25 \u03bcg/mL 2.3 \u00b1 0.29 and 100 \u03bcg/mL 11.5 \u00b1 1.17, Streptococcus mutans, 25 \u03bcg/mL 01.05 \u00b1 0.21 and 100 \u03bcg/mL 15.8 \u00b1 0.17, Enterococcus faecalis). The short novelty of Azadirachta indica lies in its potential relevance to human health, as it has been found to possess bioactive compounds with various medicinal properties, such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities, making it a promising natural resource for therapeutic applications.\n\nID: 38732470\nTitle: Green Synthesis and Characterization of Ginger-Derived Silver Nanoparticles and Evaluation of Their Antioxidant, Antibacterial, and Anticancer Activities.\nAbstract: The efficacy, targeting ability, and biocompatibility of plant-based nanoparticles can be exploited in fields such as agriculture and medicine. This study highlights the use of plant-based ginger nanoparticles as an effective and promising strategy against cancer and for the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections and related disorders. Ginger is a well-known spice with significant medicinal value due to its phytochemical constituents including gingerols, shogaols, zingerones, and paradols. The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) derived from ginger extracts could be an important non-toxic and eco-friendly nanomaterial for widespread use in medicine. In this study, AgNPs were biosynthesized using an ethanolic extract of ginger rhizome and their phytochemical, antioxidant, antibacterial, and cytotoxic properties were evaluated. UV-visible spectral analysis confirmed the formation of spherical AgNPs. FTIR analysis revealed that the NPs were associated with various functional biomolecules that were associated with the NPs during stabilization. The particle size and SEM analyses revealed that the AgNPs were in the size range of 80-100 nm, with a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.510, and a zeta potential of -17.1 mV. The purity and crystalline nature of the AgNPs were confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The simple and repeatable phyto-fabrication method reported here may be used for scaling up for large-scale production of ginger-derived NPs. A phytochemical analysis of the ginger extract revealed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, phenolics, tannins, saponins, and terpenoids, which can serve as active biocatalysts and natural stabilizers of metallic NPs. The ginger extracts at low concentrations demonstrated promising cytotoxicity against Vero cell lines with a 50% reduction in cell viability at 0.6-6 \u03bcg/mL. When evaluated for biological activity, the AgNPs exhibited significant antioxidant and antibacterial activity on several Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial species, including Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. This suggests that the AgNPs may be used against multi-drug-resistant bacteria. Ginger-derived AgNPs have a considerable potential for use in the development of broad-spectrum antimicrobial and anticancer medications, and an optimistic perspective for their use in medicine and pharmaceutical industry.\n\nID: 38517626\nTitle: Studies on photocatalytic mineralization of organic pesticides by bimetallic Cu-Zn nanoparticles derived from Zingiber officinale\u00a0Roscoe (ginger) using green chemistry approach.\nAbstract: Compared to monometallic nanoparticles, bimetallic nanoparticle synthesis and characterization have attracted more attention due to their superior environmental protection properties. In this study, we discuss the preparation and characterization of Cu-Zn bimetallic nanoparticles using Zinger extract, as well as their potential role in photocatalytic degradation of carbendazim, chlorpyrifos, monocrotophos, and cypermethrin. Surface properties were assessed with SEM and TEM, while UV-VIS, XRD, FTIR, and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to characterize the materials. It was observed that higher pH conditions were more conducive to the development of stable Cu-Zn BMNPs with diameters ranging from 60 to 100\u00a0nm. UV-VIS spectroscopy showed that the Cu-Zn bimetallic nanoparticles photodegraded 53-95% of the pesticides, monocrotophos, chlorpyrifos, and carbendazim during the 24-72-h incubation period. A number of pesticides may be photocatalytically degraded by primary reactive radicals produced by nanoparticles. We propose that the use of bimetallic nanoparticles could be one alternative strategy for pesticide mineralization.\n\nID: 38461314\nTitle: Biosynthesis of palladium, platinum, and their bimetallic nanoparticles using rosemary and ginseng herbal plants: evaluation of anticancer activity.\nAbstract: In this research, palladium (II) and platinum (II), as well as their bimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized using medicinal plants in an eco-friendly manner. Rosemary and Ginseng extracts were chosen due to their promising anticancer potential. The synthesized nanoparticles underwent characterization through FT-IR spectroscopy, DLS, XRD, EDX, SEM, and TEM techniques. Once the expected structures were confirmed, the performance of these nanoparticles, which exhibited an optimal size, was evaluated as potential anticancer agents through in vitro method on colon cancer cell lines (Ls180, SW480). MTT assay studies showed that the synthesized nanoparticles induced cell death. Moreover, real-time PCR was employed to investigate autophagy markers and the effect of nanoparticles on the apoptosis process, demonstrating a significant effect of the synthesized compounds in this regard.\n\nID: 38107454\nTitle: Green synthesis of ginger-encapsulated zinc oxide nanoparticles: Unveiling their characterization and selective cytotoxicity on MDA-MB 231 breast cancer cells.\nAbstract: Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) were synthesized using ginger (Zingiber officinale) extracts in a green synthesis approach and evaluated their in vitro cytotoxicity effect on the MDA-MB 231 breast cancer cell line. The bottom-up approach was employed to develop the green-synthesized ginger-encapsulated ZnO-NPs (GZnO-NPs) without using hazardous substances. The most substantial Fourier-transform infrared absorption peak of the ginger root extract was seen at 1634.24 cm-1. The peak also confirmed the presence of ginger root extract-encapsulated ZnO-NPs at 1556.79, 1471.54, and 1019.83 cm-1. It indicates that the biomolecules found in plant extracts behave as capping agents, aiding in the formation of nanoparticles. The mean particle sizes (PSs) of optimized GZnO-NPs of the ratios 1:2 were found to be 104.01 \u00b1 7.12 nm with a zeta potential of -11.5 \u00b1 1.31 mV. The X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope analysis confirmed that the prepared nanoparticles were spherical and crystalline, with PS ranging from 100 to 150 nm. The GZnO-NPs were subjected to MTT assay and cellular migration potential, and it was found that the inhibitory concentration on the MDA-MB 231 (breast) cancer cell line and scratch area showed a dose-dependent efficacy. The successfully green-synthesized GZnO-NPs effectively induced cell death in the MDA-MB 231 cancer cell line. The scratch assay results confirmed that prepared GZnO-NPs inhibited the proliferation and migration of cancerous cells.\n\nID: 37937794\nTitle: Design, characterization and green synthesis of samarium-decorated magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles: cytotoxicity and DNA binding studies.\nAbstract: In this study, we have successfully synthesized magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles adorned with samarium (Sm-MNPs) utilizing ginger extract for the very first time. Furthermore, a comprehensive characterization of the nanoparticles along with an exploration of their physicochemical attributes was conducted. The biological functionalities of the synthesized nanoparticles were investigated through a thorough examination of their interaction with calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) using diverse spectroscopic techniques encompassing ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and fluorescence spectroscopy at varying temperatures. Subsequently, we evaluated the cytotoxicity of the magnetic nanoparticles using a colorectal cancer cell model (HCT116 cells) and a tetrazolium colorimetric assay (MTT assay). The characterization of the ginger extract-coated magnetic nanoparticles (ginger-Sm-MNPs) revealed their superparamagnetic nature, nanocrystalline structure, spherical morphology, hydrodynamic size of 155\u2009nm, and uniform distribution. The outcomes from UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy affirmed the binding of ginger-Sm-MNPs with ctDNA. Additionally, the MTT assay demonstrated that the cytotoxicity of ginger-Sm-MNPs surpassed that of both magnetite nanoparticles and ginger extract. Notably, the inhibitory concentrations (IC50) for the green-synthesized nanoparticles after 24 and 48\u2009h of incubation were determined as 198.1 and 135.8\u2009\u03bcg/mL, respectively. In conclusion, our study findings suggest the potential utility of ginger-Sm-MNPs as a promising candidate for various biomedical applications.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Due to its high volatility and low stability, it requires encapsulation to retain its effective properties. The GEO-Chitosan (GEO-CS) nanobactericide was developed using the ionic gelation method. The nanobactericides show particle diameters of 465, 28, 35, 48 and 500\u2005nm when sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) concentrations used in the preparation were 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0\u2009%, respectively. The X-ray diffraction and the UV-vis studies revealed that the GEO was encapsulated into the chitosan nanoparticles with an encapsulation efficiency of around 46\u2009% and a loading capacity of 27-34\u2009%. The antibacterial activity of GEO-chitosan nanobactericide against Burkholderia glumae (Bg) was found to be 7.5-11.8\u2005mm, with minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration values of 15.6\u2005\u03bcl/mL and 31.25\u2005\u03bcl/mL, respectively. Hence, these findings indicate that the prepared GEO-CS nanobactericides were found to be effective against Bg. This preliminary study is toward the development of new agronanobactericides using a natural product to control Bg.\n\nID: 37500041\nTitle: Deciphering the anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential of Ti nanoparticles fabricated using Zingiber officinale.\nAbstract: Rapid and sustainable green technology was implemented in the current study to fabricated Ti nanoparticles. The vegetable ginger with the scientific name Zingiber officinale was employed as a biological source in the fabrication process of nanoparticles. The optical, structural, morphological, and particle size of the fabricated Ti nanoparticles were characterized with the help of UV-visible absorption spectrum, FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectrum, SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) analysis, DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering) technique and XRD (X-ray powder diffraction) crystallography technique. The presence of spherical-shaped Ti nanoparticles with an average particle size of 93\u00a0nm was confirmed based on these characterization techniques. The anti-cancer properties of the Z. officinale mediated Ti nanoparticles were analyzed through MTT assay against cell lines MCF-7 (Human breast adenocarcinoma cell line) and concentration-dependent anti-cancer properties were observed. The anti-inflammatory capacity of the Z. officinale mediated Ti nanoparticles were examined through protein denaturation and nitric oxide scavenging assay. The antioxidant capacity of the Z. officinale mediated Ti nanoparticles were examined through DPPH assay, hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging assay, hydroxyl radical scavenging assay, and FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) analysis. The fabricated Ti nanoparticles exhibited anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capacity in a concentration-dependent pattern.\n\nID: 37056242\nTitle: Preparation and Characterization of IL-22 mRNA-loaded Lipid Nanoparticles.\nAbstract: Interleukin-22 (IL-22) has been demonstrated as a critical regulator of epithelial homeostasis and repair; it showed an anti-inflammatory effect against ulcerative colitis. Local microinjection of IL-22 cDNA vector has been shown to be effective in treating ulcerative colitis in mouse models. However, microinjection comes with multiple technical challenges for routine colon-targeted drug delivery. In contrast, oral administration can get around these challenges and provide comparable efficacy. We showed in previous studies that oral administration of new lipid nanoparticles (nLNP)-encapsulated IL-22 mRNA targets the colon region and efficiently ameliorates colitis. This protocol describes the details of preparing and characterizing the nLNP-encapsulated IL-22 mRNA using three major lipids that mimic the natural ginger-derived nanoparticles. It provides an nLNP platform that can be used to orally deliver other types of nucleic acids to the colon.\n\nID: 36798577\nTitle: Characterization and antimicrobial activity of cerium oxide nanoparticles synthesized using neem and ginger.\nAbstract: The aim of this study is to analyze and characterize the antimicrobial effect of cerium oxide nanoparticles (NP) synthesized using neem and ginger. Finely grounded neem and ginger powder were taken and mixed with distilled water. This mixture was then heated and filtered. Ammonium cerium nitrate dissolved in distilled water. Both the mixtures were mixed and stirred magnetically. A double-beam ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer was used to monitor color changes. The extract was centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 15 min. The final pellet was powdered using a hot air oven at 70\u00b0C for 24 h. Visualization was done by transmission electron microscopy and spherical morphology was noted, with an average diameter of 5 nm, in aggregated form. The sample containing 100 mg of cerium oxide shows the most significant effect on the zone of inhibition of 11 mm of Staphylococcus aureus. The results obtained in the current study confirmed that CeO-NP possessed antioxidant and cytotoxic properties.\n\nID: 36685390\nTitle: Green synthesis and characterization of zirconium nanoparticlefor dental implant applications.\nAbstract: Green synthesis is a promising and cost-effective technique to synthesize nanoparticles from plant extract. The present study shows the green synthesis of zirconium nanoparticles using the extract of ginger, garlic, and zirconium nitride. The obtained nanoparticles were studied for potential dental implant applications. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX), X-Ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and antibacterial analysis. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of various organic compounds in the synthesized nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles were spherical, triangular, and irregular, with varying sizes confirmed by FESEM analysis. The nanoparticles synthesized from the combination of garlic and ginger, and zirconium exhibited potent antibacterial activity against S. aureus. Anti-biofilm, anti-microbial activity, biointegration formation, and cell mechanism survival are also mentioned. Thus, the synthesized nanoparticles can be a good candidate for a dental implant because of their excellent antimicrobial properties.\n\nID: 36662085\nTitle: Biosynthesis, Characterization, and Augmented Anticancer Activity of ZrO2 Doped ZnO/rGO Nanocomposite.\nAbstract: Fabrication of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) via green process has received enormous attention for its application in biomedicine. Here, a simple and cost-effective green route is reported for the synthesis of ZrO2-doped ZnO/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites (ZnO/ZrO2/rGO NCs) exploiting ginger rhizome extract. Our aim was to improve the anticancer performance of ZnO/ZrO2/rGO NCs without toxicity to normal cells. The preparation of pure ZnO NPs, ZnO/ZrO2 NCs, and ZnO/ZrO2/rGO NCs was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). XRD spectra of ZnO/ZrO2/rGO NCs exhibited two distinct sets of diffraction peaks, ZnO wurtzite structure, and ZrO2 phases (monoclinic + tetragonal). The SEM and TEM data show that ZrO2-doped ZnO particles were uniformly distributed on rGO sheets with the excellent quality of lattice fringes without alterations. PL spectra intensity and particle size of ZnO decreased after ZrO2-doping and rGO addition. DLS data demonstrated that green prepared samples show excellent colloidal stability in aqueous suspension. Biological results showed that ZnO/ZrO2/rGO NCs display around 3.5-fold higher anticancer efficacy in human lung cancer (A549) and breast cancer (MCF7) cells than ZnO NPs. A mechanistic approach suggested that the anticancer response of ZnO/ZrO2/rGO NCs was mediated via oxidative stress evident by the induction of the intracellular reactive oxygen species level and the reduction of the glutathione level. Moreover, green prepared nanostructures display good cytocompatibility in normal cell lines; human lung fibroblasts (IMR90) and breast epithelial (MCF10A) cells. However, the cytocompatibility of ZnO/ZrO2/rGO NCs in normal cells was better than those of pure ZnO NPs and ZnO/ZrO2 NCs. Augmented anticancer potential and improved cytocompatibility of ZnO/ZrO2/rGO NCs was due to ginger extract mediated beneficial synergism between ZnO, ZrO2, and rGO. This novel investigation emphasizes the significance of medicinal herb mediated ZnO-based NCs synthesis for biomedical research.\n\nID: 36501201\nTitle: Preparation, Characterization, Wound Healing, and Cytotoxicity Assay of PEGylated Nanophytosomes Loaded with 6-Gingerol.\nAbstract: Nutrients are widely used for treating illnesses in traditional medicine. Ginger has long been used in folk medicine to treat motion sickness and other minor health disorders. Chronic non-healing wounds might elicit an inflammation response and cancerous mutation. Few clinical studies have investigated 6-gingerol's wound-healing activity due to its poor pharmacokinetic properties. However, nanotechnology can deliver 6-gingerol while possibly enhancing these properties. Our study aimed to develop a nanophytosome system loaded with 6-gingerol molecules to investigate the delivery system's influence on wound healing and anti-cancer activities. We adopted the thin-film hydration method to synthesize nanophytosomes. We used lipids in a ratio of 70:25:5 for DOPC(dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine): cholesterol: DSPE/PEG2000, respectively. We loaded the 6-gingerol molecules in a concentration of 1.67 mg/mL and achieved size reduction via the extrusion technique. We determined cytotoxicity using lung, breast, and pancreatic cancer cell lines. We performed gene expression of inflammation markers and cytokines according to international protocols. The synthesized nanophytosome particle sizes were 150.16 \u00b1 1.65, the total charge was -13.36 \u00b1 1.266, and the polydispersity index was 0.060 \u00b1 0.050. Transmission electron microscopy determined the synthesized particles' spherical shape and uniform size. The encapsulation efficiency was 34.54% \u00b1 0.035. Our biological tests showed that 6-gingerol nanophytosomes displayed selective antiproliferative activity, considerable downregulation of inflammatory markers and cytokines, and an enhanced wound-healing process. Our results confirm the anti-cancer activity of PEGylated nanophytosome 6-gingerol, with superior activity exhibited in accelerating wound healing.\n\nID: 36418392\nTitle: Synthesis and characterization of Ni0.5Al0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles for potent antifungal activity against dry rot of ginger (Fusarium oxysporum).\nAbstract: Current study signifies the use of nanoparticles as alternative in plant disease management to avoid harmful effect of pesticide and fungicide residue. Synthesis of nanoparticles (Ni0.5Al0.5Fe2O4) by hydrothermal method and studied their X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Raman spectra, and UV spectra and further successfully evaluated for antifungal activity against a soil and seed borne pathogenic fungus (Fusarium oxysporum).Among various pests, fungal pathogens are the main cause of crop destruction and we developed nanoparticles (Ni0.5Al0.5Fe2O4) which is successfully evaluated for antimycotic activity against dry rot (F. oxysporum) of ginger which causes 50-70% losses in the ginger plant. In vitro and in vivo analysis designated that the nanoparticles (Ni0.5Al0.5Fe2O4) has shown an excellent antifungal activity against F. oxysporum at 0.5\u00a0mg/ml concentration. Similarly, no disease incidence was recorded when Ni0.5Al0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles used at 0.5\u00a0mg/ml concentration under in vivo conditions. In plants various environmental stresses (biotic and abiotic) leads to excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) causing progressive oxidative damage and ultimately leads to cell death. The role of ROS in nanoparticles (Ni0.5Al0.5Fe2O4) represents by reduction in the growth inhibition of F. oxysporum. We speculated in light of these results that the cytotoxic effect of Ni0.5Al0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles on F. oxysporum may be mediated through ROS. We can suggest the role of nanoparticles (Ni0.5Al0.5Fe2O4) gives a promising result as a fungicidal activity and could be a novel family of future new generation fungicide.\n\nID: 36015280\nTitle: Nano-Lipids Based on Ginger Oil and Lecithin as a Potential Drug Delivery System.\nAbstract: Lipid nanoparticles based on lecithin are an interesting part of drug delivery systems. However, the stability of lecithin nano-lipids is problematic due to the degradation of lecithin, causing a decrease in pH. In this study, the modification of the conventional nano-lipid-based soybean lecithin was demonstrated. Ginger-oil-derived Zingiber officinale was used along with lecithin, cholesterol and span 80 to fabricate nano-lipids (GL nano-lipids) using a thin-film method. TEM and a confocal microscope were used to elucidate GL nano-lipids' liposome-like morphology. The average size of the resultant nano-lipid was 249.1 nm with monodistribution (PDI = 0.021). The \u03b6 potential of GL nano-lipids was negative, similarly to as-prepared nano-lipid-based lecithin. GL nano-lipid were highly stable over 60 days of storage at room temperature in terms of size and \u03b6 potential. A shift in pH value from alkaline to acid was detected in lecithin nano-lipids, while with the incorporation of ginger oil, the pH value of nano-lipid dispersion was around 7.0. Furthermore, due to the richness of shogaol-6 and other active compounds in ginger oil, the GL nano-lipid was endowed with intrinsic antibacterial activity. In addition, the sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay and live/dead imaging revealed the excellent biocompatibility of GL nano-lipids. Notably, GL nano-lipids were capable of carrying hydrophobic compounds such as curcumin and performed a pH-dependent release profile. A subsequent characterization showed their suitable potential for drug delivery systems.\n\nID: 35719161\nTitle: Structural Characterization, Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities of a Novel Polysaccharide From Zingiber officinale and Its Application in Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles.\nAbstract: A novel polysaccharide (ZOP) was extracted from Zingiber officinale with ultrasonic assisted extraction method. ZOP monosaccharide composition and mole ratio is GlcA: GalA: Glc: Gal: Ara = 1.97:1.15:94.33:1.48:1.07. Then, the particle size of ZOP-NPs prepared by nano-precipitation method was 230.5 nm, and the polydispersity index (PDI) was 0.260. Using ZOP and ZOP-NPs as reductants and stabilizers, ZOP-AgNPs and ZOP-NPs-AgNPs were prepared. They were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The silver chelation rate of polysaccharide silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) ranged from 68.70 to 82.12%. ZOP-AgNPs (0.5%, w/v; 1%, w/v) and ZOP-NPs-AgNPs (0.5%, w/v; 1%, w/v) exhibited a narrow particle size distribution of 31.1, 34.6, 25.1 and 27.6 nm, respectively. And the zeta potential values of them were-19.4,-21.6,-19.7,-23.8mV, respectively. The antioxidant and antibacterial activities of ZOP-NPs-AgNPs were superior to those of ZOP, ZOP-NPs and ZOP-AgNPs.\n\nID: 35341515\nTitle: Pd nanoparticles decorated thiol-functionalized MOF as an efficient matrix for differentiation and quantitation of oligosaccharide isomers by laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry.\nAbstract: Oligosaccharides play a key role in many biological functions, and the accurate identification of oligosaccharide structures is an important prerequisite for a comprehensive understanding of the biological functions of oligosaccharides. MALDI-TOF/TOF tandem mass spectrometry has been considered as a potential technique for the structural characterization of oligosaccharides. In this work, palladium nanoparticles decorated thiol-functionalized metal organic framework nanocomposite (UiO-66-(SH)2@Pd NPs) was fabricated as an efficient matrix to assist laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) for oligosaccharides analysis. The ionization efficiency of oligosaccharides was significantly improved owning to the synergistic effect of MOF and Pd nanoparticles, which is favorable for further oligosaccharide structure identification. By combining LDI-LIFT-TOF/TOF, 24 oligosaccharide isomers including disaccharides, trisaccharides and tetrasaccharides, were effectively distinguished. In addition, the relative quantification curves for isomeric oligosaccharides were established with good linear correlations. The method was successfully applied to the identification and quantification of sucrose and maltose in three batches of Asian ginseng and American ginseng respectively, showing potentiality of MOF materials and metal nanomaterials assisted structural analysis of oligosaccharide isomers.\n\nID: 35266419\nTitle: Co-encapsulation of metformin and ginger into the liposomes: in\u00a0vitro characterization and in\u00a0vivo anti-psoriasis evaluation.\nAbstract: Psoriasis is an autoimmune inflammatory skin disorder consists of hyperkeratosis, abnormal keratinization, acanthosis, and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the dermis. Topical pharmacotherapy with conventional molecules and formulations is associated with toxicity, low efficacy, and poor skin penetration. Lipid-based nanoparticles can be introduced as a new strategy for improving the efficacy of psoriasis treatment by increasing drug localization. Metformin-loaded liposomes were prepared by thin-layer hydration technique and characterized for particle size, entrapment efficiency, and release profiles. The optimized formulations including metformin and two concentrations of ginger were further evaluated in ex vivo skin permeation and localization, and in\u00a0vivo psoriasis treatment in an imiquimod-induced psoriatic skin model. Optimized liposome has indicated its ability in localization of metformin at the skin may by improving the impaired psoriatic skin barrier. Co-administration of metformin and ginger loaded in liposome completely treated the psoriatic lesions after 21\u2009days of treatment and significantly decreased IL-22 and TNF-\u03b1 compared with untreated skin and skin treated by betamethasone as a positive control. In conclusion, metformin and ginger loaded in liposomes have shown perfect results in providing effective treatment of psoriasis.\n\nID: 35261246\nTitle: Characterization of the MicroRNA Profile of Ginger Exosome-like Nanoparticles and Their Anti-Inflammatory Effects in Intestinal Caco-2 Cells.\nAbstract: Plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs) have been shown to enter mammalian cells for disease treatment. Although abundant miRNAs are contained in ginger exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs), little is known about their type and function. Herein, we extracted GELNs with desirable particle sizes (156 \u00b1 36 nm) and a negative surface charge (-26.6 \u00b1 5 mV). The miRNA profiles in ginger and GELNs were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing, and the results of the sequencing were validated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). There were 27 miRNAs with higher expression levels in the GELNs, and they were mainly involved in the regulation of inflammatory and cancer-related pathways. Furthermore, GELNs could be specifically internalized by intestine cells via caveolin-mediated endocytosis and micropinocytosis, as well as counteract lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation by downregulating NF-\u03ba\u03b2, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-\u03b1 expression. Importantly, the positive effects were further proved to be possibly related to the miRNAs enriched in the GELNs. Overall, these results indicated that PELNs could target human digestive organs and play a cross-kingdom physiological regulation role through miRNAs.\n\nID: 35216450\nTitle: In-Vitro Catalytic and Antibacterial Potential of Green Synthesized CuO Nanoparticles against Prevalent Multiple Drug Resistant Bovine Mastitogen Staphylococcus aureus.\nAbstract: Nanoparticles prepared from bio-reduction agents are of keen interest to researchers around the globe due to their ability to mitigate the harmful effects of chemicals. In this regard, the present study aims to synthesize copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) by utilizing root extracts of ginger and garlic as reducing agents, followed by the characterization and evaluation of their antimicrobial properties against multiple drug resistant (MDR) S. aureus. In this study, UV-vis spectroscopy revealed a reduced degree of absorption with an increase in the extract amount present in CuO. The maximum absorbance for doped NPs was recorded around 250 nm accompanying redshift. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the monoclinic crystal phase of the particles. The fabricated NPs exhibited spherical shapes with dense agglomeration when examined with FE-SEM and TEM. The crystallite size measured by using XRD was found to be within a range of 23.38-46.64 nm for ginger-doped CuO and 26-56 nm for garlic-doped CuO. Green synthesized NPs of ginger demonstrated higher bactericidal tendencies against MDR S. aureus. At minimum and maximum concentrations of ginger-doped CuO NPs, substantial inhibition areas for MDR S. aureus were (2.05-3.80 mm) and (3.15-5.65 mm), and they were measured as (1.1-3.55 mm) and (1.25-4.45 mm) for garlic-doped NPs. Conventionally available CuO and crude aqueous extract (CAE) of ginger and garlic roots reduced MB in 12, 21, and 38 min, respectively, in comparison with an efficient (100%) reduction of dye in 1 min and 15 s for ginger and garlic doped CuO NPs.\n\nID: 34542713\nTitle: Biogenic Synthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Potential Evaluation of Copper Oxide Nanoparticles Against Escherichia coli.\nAbstract: The development of resistance against antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections along with the prevalence of medication residues presents significant public health problems globally. Antibiotic-resistant germs result in infections that are difficult or impossible to treat. Decreasing antibiotic effectiveness calls for rapid development of alternative antimicrobials. In this respect, nanoparticles (NPs) of copper oxide (CuO) manifest a latent and flexible inorganic nanostructure with noteworthy antimicrobial impact. Green synthesis of CuO NPs was performed in the current study, which was then doped with varying amounts of ginger (Zingiber officinale, ZO) and garlic (Allium sativum, AS) extracts. In low and high doses, the synthesized compound was used to measure the antimicrobial effectiveness against pathogenic Escherichia coli. The present research successfully demonstrated a renewable, eco-friendly synthesis technique with natural materials that is equally applicable to other green metal oxide NPs.\n\nID: 42537739\nTitle: The role of ginsenosides in obesity-associated sarcopenia: Focus on E3 ubiquitin ligase-mediated regulation of protein homeostasis.\nAbstract: Obesity-associated sarcopenia (OAS) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by excessive adiposity accompanied by progressive skeletal muscle loss, largely driven by impaired protein homeostasis. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a central role in this process, with E3 ubiquitin ligases such as Atrogin-1, muscle ring-finger protein 1 (MuRF1), TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), and Parkin acting as key and non-redundant regulators of muscle protein degradation. Increasing evidence indicates that ginseng and its bioactive ginsenosides, including Rg1, Rb1, Rg3, and compound K, exert protective effects against multiple disease through modulation of E3-ligase dependent proteolytic pathways. In this review, we integrate emerging mechanistic insights into how ginseng-derived compounds orchestrate a polypharmacological regulatory network spanning inflammatory, metabolic, mitochondrial, and autophagic signaling axes. In particular, how ginsenosides target critical regulatory nodes, including TRAF6-mediated inflammatory amplification, Forkhead box O (FoxO)-driven transcription of Atrogin-1 and MuRF1, and Parkin-dependent mitochondrial quality control were summarized. Unlike single-target pharmacological agents, ginseng offers a multicomponent therapeutic strategy that simultaneously attenuates protein degradation while supporting anabolic signaling and mitochondrial adaptation. Nevertheless, significant translational challenges persist, including limited bioavailability, insufficient human skeletal muscle data, and poorly defined interactions among individual ginsenosides. Future research should prioritize standardized ginseng formulations and rigorously designed clinical trials to more clearly define its therapeutic potential in the management of OAS.\n\nID: 42395010\nTitle: Ginseng nonsaponins: New insights into their pharmacological potentials in inflammasome-driven inflammation and immunopathology.\nAbstract: The inflammatory response comprises a priming phase that prepares for inflammation and a subsequent triggering phase that activates and amplifies inflammatory signaling in cells. A critical event during the triggering phase is the activation of inflammasomes, cytosolic multiprotein complexes that function as signaling platforms to promote inflammatory responses. Although canonical and noncanonical inflammasomes are activated by distinct ligands, both play pivotal roles in inflammatory processes and contribute to the development of a wide range of human diseases. Consequently, inflammasomes have emerged as promising therapeutic targets for the regulation of inflammation and the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Ginseng and its major saponin constituents, ginsenosides, have been extensively reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory functions, at least in part, through the inhibition of inflammasome activation, emphasizing their therapeutic potential in inflammasome-associated diseases. Beyond ginsenosides, accumulating evidence has highlighted the biological relevance of ginseng-derived nonsaponin components and has begun to elucidate their mechanisms of action in inflammatory conditions, particularly through the modulation of inflammasome activation. This review summarizes current findings on the regulatory roles of ginseng nonsaponins in inflammasome-mediated inflammatory responses and highlights their potential as novel herbal therapeutics to prevent and treat inflammasome-driven human diseases.\n\nID: 42112125\nTitle: Therapeutic potential of panax ginseng-derived nanovesicles in osteoporosis through enhanced osteoblast.\nAbstract: Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder caused by an imbalance between bone resorption and formation, which leads to reduced bone density and increased fracture risk. Plant-derived nanovesicles have emerged as safe, biocompatible biomaterials with therapeutic potential for bone regeneration. In this work, the biological effects of Panax ginseng-derived nanovesicles (PNVs) were evaluated with a focus on osteoblast differentiation, bone formation, and mineralization. PNVs were successfully isolated, characterized, and tested for their osteogenic capacity using MC3T3-E1 cells, mouse primary osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. Treatment with PNVs (0-10\u00a0\u03bcg/mL) for 3 or 7 days markedly promoted osteoblastic maturation and matrix mineral deposition, as confirmed by Alizarin-red and Von Kossa staining. In addition, PNVs exposure upregulated key osteogenic genes, including Runx2, ALP, and OPN, while activating major signaling cascades such as BMP2/4 and phosphorylated p38, implying their involvement in osteogenic regulation. Moreover, in an ovariectomized (OVX) mouse model, oral administration of PNVs improved bone microarchitecture by stimulating osteoblast-driven bone regeneration and attenuating osteoclast-mediated bone degradation. Collectively, our findings indicate that PNVs promote osteoblast differentiation and bone matrix formation, thereby enhancing mineralization and demonstrating their potential as a natural nanotherapeutic approach for osteoporosis prevention and treatment.\n\nID: 41978129\nTitle: Ginger Bioactives as Multi-Target Therapeutics: Mechanisms, Delivery Innovation, and Human Health Impact.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Ginger has a long history as both a culinary and medicinal plant and is widely recognized in traditional medicine for its ability to promote health and well-being.

In addition, their potential anti-aging properties are extensively discussed. The evidence reported is predominantly preclinical (in vitro and in vivo models), with more limited and heterogeneous clinical data. Recent studies have also highlighted the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in accelerating the discovery and evaluation of bioactive agents with therapeutic relevance across diverse biological systems. Conclusions: This review highlights the emerging applications of ginger extracts in human health and suggests their applications in both traditional medicine and contemporary drug discovery.\n\nID: 41952870\nTitle: Intervention of ginseng-derived macromolecular drugs in Alzheimer's disease: exploring mechanisms and assessing potential.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder for which effective treatments remain elusive. This review aims to explore the roles, mechanisms, and therapeutic potential of three principal ginseng components, including ginseng polysaccharides (GPS), ginseng proteins (GP), and ginseng glycoproteins (GGP), in the prevention and management of AD. We systematically reviewed recent literature related to these components in AD research. By analyzing evidence from cellular experiments, animal models, and preliminary clinical studies, we evaluated their effects on core pathological processes. These ginseng-derived compounds exert neuroprotective effects via multiple pathways. Specifically, they inhibit the aggregation of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) and reduce the hyperphosphorylation of tau protein. Furthermore, they demonstrate significant anti-neuroinflammatory and antioxidant activities, which protect neurons from damage and enhance cognitive functions, including memory and learning. The efficacy of these components has been consistently demonstrated across various AD experimental models. In conclusion, GPS, GP, and GGP exhibit promise as multitarget therapeutic agents against AD, underscoring a potential pathway for developing novel natural product-based treatments. Although current preclinical results are promising, further rigorous clinical trials are necessary to validate their efficacy and safety in humans. Therapeutic strategies targeting these components may therefore offer new hope for AD patients.\n\nID: 41688997\nTitle: Cross-kingdom miRNA delivery by Panax notoginseng-derived extracellular-like nanoparticles vesicles restores neuronal function after ischemic injury.\nAbstract: Blood-brain barrier (BBB) impermeability remains a major obstacle to the effective treatment of neurological disorders, particularly ischemic stroke. Here, we revealed that plant-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (PEVs) offer a promising strategy to overcome this barrier. Using an optimized high-yield extraction protocol, we isolated PEVs from four medicinal plants: Panax ginseng, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, and Ligusticum chuanxiong. Among these, extracellular vesicles derived from Panax notoginseng (NotoEV, vesicle population) exhibited the strongest neuroprotective effects under hypoxic conditions in vitro and in vivo stroke models. Mechanistically, NotoEV delivered conserved plant microRNAs to recipient neurons, where they suppressed key stress granule nucleators GTPase-activating protein-binding protein 2 (G3bp2), Ubiquitin-associated protein 2 like (Ubap2l), and LSM14A mRNA processing body assembly factor (Lsm14a), activated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, and promoted mitochondrial stabilization via the B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)/ Translocase Of Outer Mitochondrial Membrane 20 (TOM20) axis. This cross-kingdom RNA delivery reprogrammed neuronal stress responses, reduced infarct volume, preserved neuronal morphology, and restored electrophysiological function. Collectively, our findings establish a scalable platform for plant-based nanotherapeutics and highlight the translational potential of NotoEV in treating ischemic stroke.\n\nID: 41612765\nTitle: Therapeutic Potential of Ginger Rhizomes (Zingiber officinale) on Leukemia.\nAbstract: Leukemia continues to provide a significant therapeutic challenge due to relapse, medication resistance, and treatment-associated toxicity, which frequently hinder sustained disease management. Rhizomes of ginger (Zingiber officinale) possess bioactive phenolics, notably 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol derivatives, which have demonstrated antileukemia efficacy in preclinical models. This study rigorously assesses the evidence regarding ginger-derived preparations and isolated compounds in both acute and chronic leukemia models, focusing on recurring mechanisms and translational viability. In leukemia cell line investigations and sparse resistant-model data, ginger-related interventions are consistently linked to diminished viability and the induction of mitochondrial apoptosis, typically indicated by alterations in Bax/Bcl-2 ratios, PARP breakage, and caspase-related measurements. Numerous studies indicate redox modulation, often characterized by elevated intracellular reactive oxygen species in leukemic cells, coupled with diminished pro-survival signaling, such as PI3K/Akt, as indicated by decreased pAkt and survivin levels. The suggested immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects, encompassing alterations in NK-cell activity and cytokines like TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6, are inadequately substantiated within leukemia-specific immunological contexts. Interpretation is limited by the variability in extract composition and chemical characterisation, inconsistent dose and exposure circumstances, dependence on endpoint markers without causative manipulation, and a lack of leukemia-specific clinical data. Ginger-derived compounds exhibit multi-target biological activity that necessitates further exploration through standardized and chemically defined preparations, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characterization, clinically relevant exposure benchmarks, and meticulously designed leukemia-focused translational and early-phase clinical studies to elucidate safety, efficacy, and compatibility with current therapies.\n\nID: 41317253\nTitle: Lacticaseibacillus Casei KGC1201 Isolated from Panax Ginseng Mitigates Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Colitis by Modulating the Gut Environment.\nAbstract: Gut microbiota dysbiosis is closely linked to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), highlighting the therapeutic potential of probiotics that affect the gut microbiome when ingested. In this study, we evaluated the effects of Lacticaseibacillus casei KGC1201, a strain isolated from Panax ginseng, on a mouse model of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. L. casei KGC1201 culture powder at doses of 206 and 412\u00a0mg/kg was administered orally once daily, one week before DSS administration until sacrifice. A 2% DSS solution was provided ad libitum in drinking water for 7 days, and the mice were sacrificed 3 days after DSS withdrawal. Body weight changes, stool condition, colon length, and the histopathology of the colon tissue were assessed. Additionally, fecal samples were analyzed by 16\u00a0S rRNA sequencing to evaluate the gut microbiota composition. Administration of L. casei KGC1201 alleviated colitis symptoms such as weight loss, diarrhea, and decreased colon length. It also modulated the gut microbiota composition and beneficial functional metabolic pathways, including promoting the growth of beneficial gut microbiota. Moreover, it promoted intestinal epithelial regeneration by activating Wnt3a/\u03b2-catenin signaling, a crucial pathway for epithelial self-renewal and repair. These findings suggest that the ginseng-derived L. casei KGC1201 is a promising probiotic candidate for mitigating colitis and supporting intestinal health in patients with IBD.\n\nID: 41093118\nTitle: Amelioration of diabetic myopathy by APMCG-1: A mountain-cultivated ginseng-derived glycopeptide evaluated in zebrafish and mouse models.\nAbstract: Mountain-cultivated Panax ginseng C.A.Mey. (MCG) residues represent an underutilized resource with significant therapeutic potential. We previously isolated a potent glycopeptide, APMCG-1, from MCG residues using alkaline protease-assisted extraction. This study comprehensively investigates the protective effects of APMCG-1 against diabetic myopathy in vitro (C2C12), in vivo (zebrafish), and mammalian (mouse) models. In palmitic acid (PA)-induced C2C12 myoblasts, the effects of APMCG-1 on cell viability, creatine kinase release, and glucose consumption were evaluated. Mechanistic studies assessed mitochondrial function, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, and activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway. In type 2 diabetic (T2DM) zebrafish, skeletal muscle performance (swimming endurance), blood biochemical indices, antioxidant enzyme activities, inflammatory cytokines, and metabolomic profiles were examined. In T2DM mice, glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, glucolipid metabolism, muscle glycogen content, histopathology, and activation of the PI3K/AKT/GLUT4 pathway were assessed. In palmitic acid (PA)-induced C2C12 skeletal myoblasts, APMCG-1 significantly increased cell viability, reduced creatine kinase levels, and enhanced glucose consumption in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Mechanistically, APMCG-1 activated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, while attenuating mitochondrial dysfunction, reducing apoptosis, and restoring mitochondrial membrane potential. In T2DM zebrafish models, APMCG-1 treatment markedly improved skeletal muscle function, evidenced by enhanced swimming endurance. It significantly reduced fasting blood glucose, insulin, triglycerides, total cholesterol, free fatty acids, malondialdehyde, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-6 levels, while increasing muscle glycogen, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase activities. Metabolomic analysis further revealed that APMCG-1 modulated glucolipid metabolic disorders by regulating key pathways, including cysteine and methionine metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, and steroid hormone biosynthesis. Critically, in T2DM mice, APMCG-1 improved glucose tolerance, enhanced insulin sensitivity, reduced hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia, restored insulin-stimulated skeletal muscle glucose uptake. Moreover, it increased muscle glycogen content and attenuated histopathological muscle damage. These protective effects were mechanistically linked to the activation of the PI3K/AKT/GLUT4 pathway in skeletal muscle. Our findings demonstrate that APMCG-1, derived from MCG residues, is a promising therapeutic candidate for preventing and treating diabetic myopathy by enhancing insulin sensitivity and reducing oxidative stress.\n\nID: 40867857\nTitle: Ginseng Nanosizing: The Second Spring of Ginseng Therapeutic Applications.\nAbstract: Plant-derived vesicles offer several advantages, including high yield, low cost, ethical compatibility, safety, and potential health benefits. These advantages enable them to overcome technological limitations associated with vesicles of mammalian origin. Ginseng, a prominent example of a natural botanical plant, is known for its abundant bioactive components. Recent studies confirmed that ginseng-derived vesicles offer significant advantages in the treatment of human diseases. Therefore, this study reviews the extraction and purification processes of ginseng-derived vesicle-like nanoparticles (GDVLNs), their therapeutic potential, and the active ingredients in GDVLNs that may exert pharmacological activities. Furthermore, this study evaluates the research and applications of nanosized ginseng extracts, with a primary focus on ginsenosides.\n\nID: 40621081\nTitle: Panax ginseng: A modulator of amyloid, tau pathology, and cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, is characterized by the presence of beta-amyloid (A\u03b2) plaques, tau hyperphosphorylation, and cognitive decline. Despite advancements in A\u03b2-targeting therapies, the multifaceted nature of AD underscores the need for complementary treatments. Panax ginseng, renowned for its cognitive-enhancing properties, has demonstrated potential in addressing AD pathology. This review systematically explores the therapeutic potential of P. ginseng and its bioactive ginsenosides, focusing on their effects on A\u03b2, tau proteins, and cognitive function. We summarize the findings from preclinical and clinical studies, highlighting neuroprotective mechanisms, such as the inhibition of A\u03b2 production, enhanced A\u03b2 clearance, and suppression of tau hyperphosphorylation. Research on P. ginseng and its bioactive ginsenosides has shown potential for improving cognitive function in AD models. Clinical studies further suggest its cognitive benefits in mild cognitive impairment, subjective memory impairment, and as adjunctive therapy in AD, with particularly pronounced effects in individuals lacking apolipoprotein \u03b54 allele. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the potential of P. ginseng as both a therapeutic and preventive agent for AD, highlighting the scientific basis for further exploration of P. ginseng-derived compounds to optimize their efficacy and clinical application.\n\nID: 40414583\nTitle: Therapeutic potential of plant-derived small extracellular vesicles in sepsis: A network meta-analysis.\nAbstract: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by systemic inflammation and multi-organ dysfunction. Plant-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have emerged as promising therapeutic agents due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. This study conducted a network meta-analysis to identify the most effective plant-derived sEVs for reducing sepsis-induced inflammation and oxidative stress. The analysis included 13 studies evaluating 10 plant-derived sEVs in sepsis-mimicking conditions, with primary outcomes focused on cytokine levels and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in vitro and in vivo. Secondary outcomes included nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression and cell viability. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251011005). Ginger-derived sEVs were identified as the most effective, significantly reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), increasing the anti-inflammatory cytokine (interleukin-10), and suppressing ROS production. They also enhanced Nrf2 expression and improved cell viability, highlighting their role in antioxidant defense and cytoprotection. In conclusion, ginger-derived sEVs are the most effective plant-derived sEVs for mitigating sepsis-induced inflammation and oxidation in both in vitro and in vivo sepsis-mimicking models.\n\nID: 40239792\nTitle: Accelerated diabetic wound healing using a chitosan-based nanomembrane incorporating nanovesicles from Aloe barbadensis, Azadirachta indica, and Zingiber officinale.\nAbstract: Diabetic wounds pose a substantial clinical challenge due to delayed healing, persistent inflammation, and susceptibility to infections. This study investigates the therapeutic efficacy of a chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol nanomembrane (OXY-NMAloe) plant-derived extracellular vesicles enriched with extracellular vesicles derived from Aloe barbadensis, Azadirachta indica, and Zingiber officinale. Chitosan, a natural biological macromolecule, forms the nanomembrane's matrix, contributing to its flexibility, porosity, and structural integrity, essential for maintaining optimal wound hydration and supporting tissue regeneration. In in vivo studies on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, OXY-NMAloe significantly accelerated wound closure by approximately 23\u00a0% compared to just 7\u00a0% in the control-treated group, even after one day. This effect was achieved by modulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, activating collagen synthesis, and restoring mitochondrial function. The membrane also inhibited matrix metalloproteinase overexpression, reducing excessive extracellular matrix degradation by ~40\u00a0% and promoting tissue regeneration. Furthermore, OXY-NMAloe demonstrated potent antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, decreasing microbial colonization and fostering a favorable healing environment. By integrating the structural properties of chitosan with the bioactivity of plant-derived extracellular vesicles, the nanomembrane offers a multifunctional therapeutic platform for accelerating tissue repair and addressing key challenges in diabetic wound management.\n\nID: 40097886\nTitle: The role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the protective effect of ginger derived extracellular vesicles on hepatic stellate cells against cytotoxicity.\nAbstract: Previous studies have shown that ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (Gin-EVs) can alleviate alcohol-induced liver injury. It remained unknown and needs to be further verified that whether the vesicles has therapeutic potential to alleviate the progression of liver fibrosis. Moreover, the relevant mechanisms need to be further studied. Herein, we provide evidence that Gin-EVs effectively interact with human hepatic stellate cells (LX-2), offering protection against carbon tetrachloride (CCL4) or lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced liver fibrosis. The treatment with Gin-EVs was observed to mitigate fibrosis and enhance cell viability in LX-2 cells exposed to CCL4 or LPS. Mechanistically, Gin-EVs counteracted mitochondrial dysfunction by restoring mitochondrial dynamics imbalance characterized by enhanced fusion and reduced fission events while promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, thereby potentially preventing fibrotic processes in LX-2 cells. Collectively, the findings highlight the direct cytoprotective effects of Gin-EVs on LX-2 cells and suggest their promising role as a therapeutic option for hepatic fibrosis.\n\nID: 40061485\nTitle: Antiviral potential of ginseng: Targeting human pathogenic viruses with compounds derived from ginseng.\nAbstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical need for effective antiviral therapies, as viral infections remain a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Natural compounds, especially those derived from plants, have been recognized for their therapeutic properties. Ginseng, in particular, has attracted considerable attention for its potential antiviral effects. This review examines the antiviral compounds from ginseng that act against various human pathogenic viruses. We systematically summarize the antiviral activities of ginseng compounds targeting a range of viruses, including human rhinovirus (HRV), influenza virus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis viruses A, B, and C (HAV, HBV, HCV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), enterovirus 71 (EV71), coxsackievirus, norovirus, and SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. This review covers Panax ginseng, P. notoginseng, and P. quinquefolius, discussing their mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential. The analysis incorporates literature from February 2002 through August 2024, providing a comprehensive overview of the existing evidence on the antiviral properties of compounds derived from ginseng. This review aims to underscore the scientific basis for developing ginseng as an antiviral therapeutic agent or nutraceutical.\n\nID: 39849554\nTitle: Folic acid-modified ginger-derived extracellular vesicles for targeted treatment of rheumatoid arthritis by remodeling immune microenvironment via the PI3K-AKT pathway.\nAbstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a form of autoimmune inflammation, is marked by enduring synovial inflammation and the subsequent impairment of joint function. Despite the availability of conventional treatments, they are often marred by significant side effects and the associated high costs. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) offer a compelling alternative, owing to their abundant availability, affordability, low immunogenicity, high biocompatibility, and feasibility for large-scale production. These vesicles enhance intercellular communication by transferring intrinsic bioactive molecules. In our research, we delve into the capacity of PEVs to treat RA, highlighting the role of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEVs). By conjugating GDEVs with folic acid (FA), we have developed FA-GDEVs that maintain their inherent immunomodulatory properties. FA-GDEVs are designed to selectively target M1 macrophages in inflamed joints via the folate receptors (FRs). Our in vitro findings indicate that FA-GDEVs promote the polarization towards a reparative M2 macrophage phenotype by modulating the PI3K-AKT pathway. Further corroboration comes from in vivo studies, which demonstrate that FA-GDEVs not only concentrate efficiently in the affected joints but also markedly reduce the manifestations of RA. Synthesizing these findings, it is evident that FA-GDEVs emerge as a hopeful candidate for RA treatment, offering benefits such as safety, affordability, and therapeutic efficacy.\n\nID: 39834559\nTitle: Formulation, characterization, and evaluation of curcumin-loaded ginger-derived nanovesicles for anti-colitis activity.\nAbstract: Plant-derived nanovesicles have gained attention given their similarity to mammalian exosomes and advantages such as low cost, sustainability, and tissue targeting. Thus, they hold promise for disease treatment and drug delivery. In this study, we proposed a time-efficient method, PEG 8000 combined with sucrose density gradient centrifugation to prepare ginger-derived nanovesicles (GDNVs). Subsequently, curcumin (CUR) was loaded onto GDNV by ultrasonic incubation. The optimum conditions for ginger-derived nanovesicles loaded with curcumin (CG) were ultrasound time of 3\u00a0min, a carrier-to-drug ratio (GDNV:CUR) of 1:1. The study achieved a high loading capacity (94.027%\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.094%) and encapsulation efficiency (89.300%\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.344%). Finally, the drugs' in\u00a0vivo distribution and anti-colitis activity were investigated in mice. CG was primarily distributed in the colon after oral administration. Compared to CUR and GDNV, CG was superior in improving disease activity, colon length, liver and spleen coefficients, myeloperoxidase activity, and biochemical factor levels in ulcerative colitis (UC) mice. In addition, CG plays a protective role against UC by modulating serum metabolite levels and gut flora. In summary, our study demonstrated that GDNV can be used for CUR delivery with enhanced therapeutic potential.\n\nID: 39740230\nTitle: The Cardioprotective Effect of Ginseng Derived Exosomes via Inhibition of Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis.\nAbstract: Ginsenosides possess potential protective effects against cisplatin (CDDP)-induced toxicity, but the limited bioavailability of ginsenosides hampered their therapeutic application. Ginseng exosomes (G-Exo), which are active ingredients in ginseng, exhibit excellent biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. Here, G-Exo were isolated from ginseng roots through a combination of ultracentrifugation and sucrose gradient centrifugation techniques. Subsequently, the potential protective effect of G-Exo on CDDP induced cardiotoxicity, and its underlying mechanisms were explored. The findings demonstrated that G-Exo effectively mitigated CDDP-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in vitro. Moreover, in vivo experiments revealed that G-Exo significantly inhibited the increases in serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT), creatine kinase (CK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in mice induced by CDDP. Histological assessment and tissue staining further corroborated that G-Exo alleviated the cardiac tissue damage and apoptosis caused by CDDP. Mechanistically, G-Exo were found to alleviate CDDP-induced apoptosis through blocking the MAPK signaling. Collectively, these results suggest that G-Exo hold the potential to mitigate cisplatin-induced cardiac injury by regulating the MAPK pathway, thereby highlighting the therapeutic potential of G-Exo as a protective agent against CDDP-induced cardiotoxicity.\n\nID: 39303016\nTitle: Functional Ginger-Derived Extracellular Vesicles-Coated ZIF-8 Containing TNF-\u03b1 siRNA for Ulcerative Colitis Therapy by Modulating Gut Microbiota.\nAbstract: Tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) plays a causal role in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC), and anti-TNF-\u03b1 siRNA shows great promise in UC therapy. However, delivering siRNA with site-targeted stability and therapeutic efficacy is still challenging due to the complex and dynamic intestinal microenvironment. Here, based on the functional plant-derived ginger extracellular vesicles (EVs) and porous ZIF-8 nanoparticles, we propose a novel TNF-\u03b1 siRNA delivery strategy (EVs@ZIF-8@siRNA) for UC targeted therapy. Ginger EVs show strong colon and macrophage targeting, as well as robust resistance to acidic degradation in the stomach. Moreover, 6-shogaol in ginger-derived EVs displays anti-inflammatory effects, which enhance the treatment efficiency by cooperation with TNF-\u03b1 siRNA. In vitro experiments reveal that ZIF-8 nanoparticles have high TNF-\u03b1 siRNA loading capacity and promote siRNA escape from cellular lysosomes. In vivo experiments show that the TNF-\u03b1 level is reduced more significantly in colonic tissue than other nontargeted inflammation related factors, showing a good targeting of this composite nanoparticle. Furthermore, gut microbiota sequencing results demonstrate that the nanoparticles can promote intestinal barrier repair by regulating the intestinal microbial balance and restoring the intestinal health of UC mice. Therefore, the developed EVs@ZIF-8@siRNA nanoparticles may represent a novel colon-targeted oral drug, providing a promising therapeutic strategy for UC therapy.\n\nID: 37720571\nTitle: Amelioration of colitis progression by ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles through suppression of inflammatory cytokines.\nAbstract: Damage to the healthy intestinal epithelial layer and regulation of the intestinal immune system, closely interrelated, are considered pivotal parts of the curative treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Plant-based diets and phytochemicals can support the immune microenvironment in the intestinal epithelial barrier for a balanced immune system by improving the intestinal microecological balance and may have therapeutic potential in colitis. However, there have been only a few reports on the therapeutic potential of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PENs) and the underlying mechanism in colitis. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic effect of PENs from Panax ginseng, ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs), in a mouse model of IBD, with a focus on the intestinal immune microenvironment. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of GENs on acute colitis, we treated GENs in Caco2 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced RAW 264.7 macrophages and analyzed the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and IL-10 by real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Furthermore, we further examined bacterial DNA from feces and determined the alteration of gut microbiota composition in DSS-induced colitis mice after administration of GENs through 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. GENs with low toxicity showed a long-lasting intestinal retention effect for 48 h, which could lead to effective suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 production through inhibition of NF-\u03baB in DSS-induced colitis. As a result, it showed longer colon length and suppressed thickening of the colon wall in the mice treated with GENs. Due to the amelioration of the progression of DSS-induced colitis with GENs treatment, the prolonged survival rate was observed for 17 days compared to 9 days in the PBS-treated group. In the gut microbiota analysis, the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidota was decreased, which means GENs have therapeutic effectiveness against IBD. Ingesting GENs would be expected to slow colitis progression, strengthen the gut microbiota, and maintain gut homeostasis by preventing bacterial dysbiosis. GENs have a therapeutic effect on colitis through modulation of the intestinal microbiota and immune microenvironment. GENs not only ameliorate the inflammation in the damaged intestine by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines but also help balance the microbiota on the intestinal barrier and thereby improve the digestive system.\n\nID: 37521414\nTitle: Ginger: a representative material of herb-derived exosome-like nanoparticles.\nAbstract: Edible plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs) provide numerous benefits, including high yield, low cost, ethical compatibility, and multiple health benefits, which enable them to address technical constraints associated with mammalian nanoparticles. Herbs, known for their abundant bioactive components, are considered the primary source of natural medicines within the plant kingdom. Recently, a number of herbaceous sources have been investigated for the isolation and functionality of exosome-like nanoparticles (ELNs). However, they are commonly referred to as PELNs, and their distinct pharmacological properties are overlooked. In this review, these herb-derived ELNs are designated as HELNs, a novel herbal product that may also exhibit superior pharmacological activity compared to other types of PELNs. Among the documented HELNs, ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) are the most extensively studied. This review employs GELNs as an exemplar to delineate the process of extraction and purification, together with their physical and biochemical characteristics and therapeutic potential. The aim of this review is to promote the development and application of HELNs, and future research is encouraged to uncover their additional properties, extending beyond those of GELNs.\n\nID: 37252272\nTitle: Gintonin, a Panax ginseng-derived LPA receptor ligand, attenuates kainic acid-induced seizures and neuronal cell death in the hippocampus via anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities.\nAbstract: Gintonin (GT), a Panax ginseng-derived lysophosphatidic acid receptor (LPAR) ligand, has positive effects in cultured or animal models for Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and so on. However, the potential therapeutic value of GT in treating epilepsy has not yet been reported. Effects of GT on epileptic seizure (seizure) in kainic acid [KA, 55mg/kg, intraperitoneal (i.p.)]-induced model of mice, excitotoxic (hippocampal) cell death in KA [0.2 \u03bcg, intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.)]-induced model of mice, and levels of proinflammatory mediators in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced BV2 cells were investigated. An i.p. injection of KA into mice produced typical seizure. However, it was significantly alleviated by oral administration of GT in a dose-dependent manner. An i.c.v. injection of KA produced typical hippocampal cell death, whereas it was significantly ameliorated by administration of GT, which was related to reduced levels of neuroglial (microglia and astrocyte) activation and proinflammatory cytokines/enzymes expression as well as increased level of the Nrf2-antioxidant response via the upregulation of LPAR 1/3 in the hippocampus. However, these positive effects of GT were neutralized by an i.p. injection of Ki16425, an antagonist of LPA1-3. GT also reduced protein expression level of inducible nitric-oxide synthase, a representative proinflammatory enzyme, in LPS-induced BV2 cells. Treatment with conditioned medium clearly reduced cultured HT-22 cell death. Taken together, these results suggest that GT may suppress KA-induced seizures and excitotoxic events in the hippocampus through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities by activating LPA signaling. Thus, GT has a therapeutic potential to treat epilepsy.\n\nID: 36418895\nTitle: Biomimetic electrodynamic nanoparticles comprising ginger-derived extracellular vesicles for synergistic anti-infective therapy.\nAbstract: Nanotechnology enlightens promising antibacterial strategies while the complex in vivo infection environment poses a great challenge to the rational design of nanoplatforms for safe and effective anti-infective therapy. Herein, a biomimetic nanoplatform (EV-Pd-Pt) integrating electrodynamic Pd-Pt nanosheets and natural ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) is proposed. The introduction of ginger-derived EVs greatly endows EV-Pd-Pt with prolonged blood circulation without immune clearance, as well as accumulation at infection sites. More interestingly, EV-Pd-Pt can enter the interior of bacteria in an EV lipid-dependent manner. At the same time, reactive oxygen species are sustainably generated in situ to overcome the limitations of their short lifetime and diffusion distance. Notably, EV-Pd-Pt nanoparticle-mediated electrodynamic and photothermal therapy exhibit synergistic effects. Furthermore, the desirable biocompatibility and biosafety of the proposed nanoplatform guarantee the feasibility of in vivo applications. This proof-of-concept work holds significant promise for developing biomimetic nanoparticles by exploiting their intrinsic properties for synergistic anti-infective therapy.\n\nID: 35154496\nTitle: Ginger nanoparticles mediated induction of Foxa2 prevents high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance.\nAbstract: Rationale: The obesity epidemic has expanded globally, due in large part to the increased consumption of high-fat diets (HFD), and has increased the risk of major chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. Diet manipulation is the foundation of prevention and treatment of obesity and diabetes. The molecular mechanisms that mediate the diet-based prevention of insulin resistance, however, remain to be identified. Here, we report that treatment with orally administered ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) prevents insulin resistance by restoring homeostasis in gut epithelial Foxa2 mediated signaling in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Methods: Ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) were added into drinking water to treat high-fat diet fed mice for at least one year or throughout their life span. A micro array profile of intestinal, liver and fat tissue of GDNP treated mice was used to analyze their gene expression profile. Genes associated with metabolism or insulin signaling were further quantified using the real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was used for determining the interaction between Foxa2 protein and phosphatic acid lipid nanoparticles. Results: HFD-feeding inhibited the expression of Foxa2; the GDNPs increased the expression of Foxa2 and protected Foxa2 against Akt-1 mediated phosphorylation and subsequent inactivation of Foxa2. Increasing expression of Foxa2 leads to altering the composition of intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) exosomes of mice fed a HFD and prevents IEC exosome mediated insulin resistance. Collectively, oral administration of GDNP prevents insulin resistance in HFD mice. Interestingly, oral administration of GDNP also extended the life span of the mice and inhibited skin inflammation. Conclusion: Our findings showed that GDNP treatment can prevent HFD-induced obesity and insulin resistance via protecting the Foxa2 from Akt-1 mediated phosphorylation. GDNP treatment provides an alternative approach based on diet manipulation for the development of therapeutic interventions for obesity.\n\nID: 34719938\nTitle: Doxorubicin nanomedicine based on ginsenoside Rg1 with alleviated cardiotoxicity and enhanced antitumor activity.\nAbstract: Aim: The authors aimed to develop Dox@Rg1 nanoparticles with decreased cardiotoxicity to expand their application in cancer. Materials & methods: Dox@Rg1 nanoparticles were developed by encapsulating doxorubicin (Dox) in\u00a0a self-assembled Rg1. The antitumor effect of the nanoparticles was estimated using 4T1 tumor-bearing mice and the protective effect on the heart was investigated in vitro and in vivo. Results: Different from Dox, the Dox@Rg1 nanoparticles induced increased cytotoxicity to tumor cells, which was decreased in cardiomyocytes by the inhibition of apoptosis. The study in vivo revealed that the Dox@Rg1 nanoparticles presented a perfect tumor-targeting ability and improved antitumor effects. Conclusion: Dox@Rg1 nanoparticles could enhance the antitumor effects and decrease the cardiotoxicity of Dox. Lay abstract Doxorubicin (Dox) is a drug used to treat cancer; however, it can be toxic to the heart. In this study, researchers made nanoparticles containing Dox and a component of ginseng, a root similar to ginger. They tested the nanoparticles in mice with tumors. The nanoparticles appeared to gather at the tumor site in greater amounts than free Dox. In healthy mice, the nanoparticles gathered less in the heart than free Dox. This means that putting Dox into nanoparticles such as these could improve their anticancer effect and decrease harm to the heart.\n\nID: 33754048\nTitle: miR-375 prevents high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance and obesity by targeting the aryl hydrocarbon receptor and bacterial tryptophanase (tnaA) gene.\nAbstract: Background: Diet manipulation is the basis for prevention of obesity and diabetes. The molecular mechanisms that mediate the diet-based prevention of insulin resistance are not well understood. Here, as proof-of-concept, ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) were used for studying molecular mechanisms underlying GDNP mediated prevention of high-fat diet induced insulin resistance. Methods: Ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) were isolated from ginger roots and administered orally to C57BL/6 high-fat diet mice. Fecal exosomes released from intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) of PBS or GDNP treated high-fat diet (HFD) fed mice were isolated by differential centrifugation. A micro-RNA (miRNA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) array was used to profile the exosomal miRs and miRs of interest were further analyzed by quantitative real time (RT) PCR. miR-375 or antisense-miR375 was packed into nanoparticles made from the lipids extracted from GDNP. Nanoparticles was fluorescent labeled for monitoring their in vivo trafficking route after oral administration. The effect of these nanoparticles on glucose and insulin response of mice was determined by glucose and insulin tolerance tests. Results: We report that HFD feeding increased the expression of AhR and inhibited the expression of miR-375 and VAMP7. Treatment with orally administered ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) resulted in reversing HFD mediated inhibition of the expression of miR-375 and VAMP7. miR-375 knockout mice exhibited impaired glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance. Induction of intracellular miR-375 led to inhibition of the expression of AhR and VAMP7 mediated exporting of miR-375 into intestinal epithelial exosomes where they were taken up by gut bacteria and inhibited the production of the AhR ligand indole. Intestinal exosomes can also traffic to the liver and be taken up by hepatocytes, leading to miR-375 mediated inhibition of hepatic AhR over-expression and inducing the expression of genes associated with the hepatic insulin response. Altogether, GDNP prevents high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance by miR-375 mediated inhibition of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor mediated pathways over activated by HFD feeding. Conclusion: Collectively our findings reveal that oral administration of GDNP to HFD mice improves host glucose tolerance and insulin response via regulating AhR expression by GDNP induced miR-375 and VAMP7.\n\nID: 33516820\nTitle: Edible plant-derived exosomal microRNAs: Exploiting a cross-kingdom regulatory mechanism for targeting SARS-CoV-2.\nAbstract: The current COVID-19 pandemic is caused by SARS-CoV-2 which belongs to coronaviridae family. Despite the global prevalence, there are currently no vaccines or drugs. Dietary plant derived exosome-like vesicles are known as edible nanoparticles (ENPs). ENPs are filled with microRNAs (miRNAs), in bioavailable form. Recently, cross-kingdom regulation of human transcripts by plant miRNAs have been demonstrated. However, ENP derived miRNAs targeting SARS-CoV-2 has not been described. Mature ENP-derived miRNA sequences were retrieved from small RNA sequencing datasets available in the literature. In silico target prediction was performed to identify miRNAs that could target SARS-CoV-2. ENPs were isolated from ginger and grapefruit plants and the expression of SARS-CoV-2 targeting miRNAs were confirmed by qRT-PCR. From a total of 260 ENP-derived miRNAs, we identified 22 miRNAs that could potentially target SARS-CoV-2 genome. 11 miRNAs showed absolute target specificity towards SARS-CoV-2 but not SARS-CoV. ENPs from soybean, ginger, hamimelon, grapefruit, tomato and pear possess multiple miRNAs targeting different regions within SARS-CoV-2. Interestingly, osa/cme miR-530b-5p specifically targeted the ribosomal slippage site between ORF1a and ORF1b. We validated the relative expression of six miRNAs (miR-5077, miR-6300, miR-156a, miR-169, miR-5059 and miR-166\u00a0m) in ginger and grapefruit ENPs by RT-PCR which showed differential enrichment of specific miRNAs in ginger and grapefruit ENPs. Since administration of ENPs leads to their accumulation into lung tissues in vivo, ENP derived miRNAs targeting SARS-CoV-2 genome has the potential to be developed as an alternative therapy.\n\nID: 32157137\nTitle: A cost-effective polyethylene glycol-based method for the isolation of functional edible nanoparticles from ginger rhizomes.\nAbstract: Edible nanoparticles (ENPs) are nano-sized vesicles derived from edible plants. These ENPs are loaded with plant derived microRNAs, protein, lipids and phytochemicals. Recently, ginger derived ENPs was shown to prevent inflammatory bowel diseases and colon cancer, in vivo, highlighting their therapeutic potential. Conventionally, differential centrifugation with an ultra-centrifugation step is employed to purify these ENPs which imposes limitation on the cost-effectiveness of their purification. Herein, we developed polyethylene glycol-6000 (PEG6000) based ginger ENP purification (PEG-ENPs) method, which eliminates the need for expensive ultracentrifugation. Using different PEG6000 concentrations, we could recover between 60% to 90% of ENPs compared to ultracentrifugation method. PEG-ENPs exhibit near identical size and zeta potential similar to ultra-ENPs. The biochemical composition of PEG-ENPs, such as proteins, lipids, small RNAs and bioactive content is comparable to that of ultra-ENPs. In addition, similar to ultra-ENPs, PEG-ENPs are efficiently taken up by the murine macrophages and protects cells from hydrogen peroxide induced oxidative stress. Since PEG has been approved as food additive, the PEG method described here will provide a cost-effective alternative to purify ENPs, which can be directly used as a dietary supplement in therapeutic formulations.\n\nID: 31775862\nTitle: Ginseng-derived nanoparticles alter macrophage polarization to inhibit melanoma growth.\nAbstract: It is unclear whether plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) can mediate interspecies communication with mammalian cells. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) display a continuum of different polarization states between tumoricidal M1 phenotype and tumor-supportive M2 phenotypes, with a lower M1/M2 ratio correlating with tumor growth, angiogenesis and invasion. We investigated whether EVs from ginseng can alter M2-like polarization both in vitro and in vivo to promote cancer immunotherapy. A novel EVs-liked ginseng-derived nanoparticles (GDNPs) were isolated and characterized from Panax ginseng C. A. Mey. Using GDNPs as an immunopotentiator for altering M2 polarized macrophages, we analyzed associated surface markers, genes and cytokines of macrophages treated with GDNPs. Mice bearing B16F10 melanoma were treated with GDNPs therapy. Tumor growth were assessed, and TAM populations were evaluated by FACS and IF. GDNPs significantly promoted the polarization of M2 to M1 phenotype and produce total reactive oxygen species, resulting in increasing apoptosis of mouse melanoma cells. GDNP-induced M1 polarization was found to depend upon Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 and myeloid differentiation antigen 88 (MyD88)-mediated signaling. Moreover, ceramide lipids and proteins of GDNPs may play an important role in macrophage polarization via TLR4 activation. We found that GDNPs treatment significantly suppressed melanoma growth in tumor-bearing mice with increased presence of M1 macrophages detected in the tumor tissue. GDNPs can alter M2 polarization both in vitro and in vivo, which contributes to an antitumor response. The polarization of macrophages induced by GDNPs is largely dependent on TLR4 and MyD88 signalling. GDNPs as an immunomodulator participate in mammalian immune response and may represent a new class of nano-drugs in cancer immunotherapy.\n\nID: 28966252\nTitle: Inhibitory Effects of Polyacetylene Compounds from Panax ginseng on Neurotrophin Receptor-Mediated Hair Growth.\nAbstract: Neurotrophins play an important role in the control of the hair growth cycle. Therefore, neurotrophin receptor antagonists have therapeutic potential for the treatment of hair growth disorders. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of Panax ginseng, a medicinal plant commonly used to treat alopecia, on the binding of neurotrophins to their receptors. In addition, we isolated and characterized the bioactive compounds of P. ginseng extracts. P. ginseng hexane extracts strongly inhibited brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-TrkB and \u03b2-nerve growth factor (\u03b2-NGF)-p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) binding. Furthermore, we identified the following 6 polyacetylene compounds as the bioactive components in P. ginseng hexane extract: panaxynol (1), panaxydol (2), panaxydol chlorohydrin (3), 1,8-heptadecadiene-4,6-diyne-3,10-diol (4), panaxytriol (5), and dihydropanaxacol (6). In particular, compounds 4, 5, and 6 significantly inhibited BDNF-TrkB binding in a dose-dependent manner. To identify the structural component mediating the inhibitory effect, we investigated the effects of the hydroxyl moiety in these compounds. We found that the inhibitory effect of panaxytriol (5) was strong, whereas the inhibitory effect of Ac-panaxytriol (7) was relatively weak. Our findings suggest that P. ginseng-derived polyacetylenes with a hydroxyl moiety might provide therapeutic benefits to patients with hair growth disorders such as alopecia by inhibiting the binding of neurotrophins to their receptors. Although saponins have been proposed to be the primary mediators of the effects of P. ginseng on hair growth, this study revealed that polyacetylene compounds exert similar effects.\n\nID: 19367122\nTitle: Ginger-derived phenolic substances with cancer preventive and therapeutic potential.\nAbstract: Ginger, the rhizomes of Zingiber officinale Roscoe (Zingiberaceae), has widely been used as a spice and condiment in different societies. Besides its food-additive functions, ginger has a long history of medicinal use for the treatment of a variety of human ailments including common colds, fever, rheumatic disorders, gastrointestinal complications, motion sickness, diabetes, cancer, etc. Ginger contains several nonvolatile pungent principles viz. gingerols, shogaols, paradols and zingerone, which account for many of its health beneficial effects. Studies conducted in cultured cells as well as in experimental animals revealed that these pungent phenolics possess anticarcinogenic properties. This chapter summarizes updated information on chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic effects of ginger-derived phenolic substances and their underlying mechanisms.\n\nID: 22504362\nTitle: Therapeutic potential of heat-processed Panax ginseng with respect to oxidative tissue damage.\nAbstract: Panax ginseng has been reported to exhibit a wide range of pharmacological and physiological actions. A method of heat-processing to enhance the efficacy of ginseng is well established in South Korea based on a long history of ethnopharmacological evidence. We investigated the increase in free radical-scavenging activity of Panax ginseng as a result of heat-processing and its active compounds related to fortified antioxidant activity. In addition, the therapeutic potential of heat-processed ginseng (HPG) with respect to oxidative tissue damage was examined using rat models. Based upon chemical and biological activity tests, the free radical-scavenging active components such as less-polar ginsenosides and maltol in Panax ginseng significantly increased depending on the temperature of heat-processing. According to animal experiments related to oxidative tissue damage, HPG displayed hepatoprotective action by reducing the elevated thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBA-RS) level, as well as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein expressions, while increasing heme oxygenase-1 in the lipopolysaccharide-treated rat liver, and HPG also displayed renal protective action by ameliorating physiological abnormalities and reducing elevated TBA-RS, advanced glycation endproduct (AGE) levels, NF-kappaB, cyclooxygenase-2, iNOS, 3-nitrotyrosine, N?-(carboxymethyl)lysine, and receptors for AGE protein expression in the diabetic rat kidney. Therefore, HPG clearly has a therapeutic potential with respect to oxidative tissue damage by inhibiting protein expression related to oxidative stress and AGEs, and further investigations of active compounds are underway. This investigation of specified bioactive constituents is important for the development of scientific ginseng-derived drugs as part of ethnomedicine.\n=======================================================\n\n### [CUSTOM DATAPOINTS]\nCRITICAL EXTRACTION DIRECTIVE: You MUST extract the following custom datapoints as root-level key/value pairs inside your final JSON block:\n- \"suggested_experiments\": generate 1-3 suggested experiments\n- \"suggested_studies\": generate 1-3 suggested studies\n- \"swansons_literature_based_discovery_candidates\": You are an advanced Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) system executing Swanson\u2019s complementary-but-disjoint (A-B-C) model.

The development of targeted and biocompatible drug delivery systems is urgently needed to control pulmonary inflammatory cascades while minimizing systemic toxicity. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles offer a naturally safe and anti-inflammatory platform for therapeutic delivery. Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1), a major bioactive compound from ginseng, possesses potent anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties, whereas lemon-derived EVs (LEVs) exhibit intrinsic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we engineered a multifunctional, biocompatible drug delivery platform, GRb1@LEVs-cRGD, in which ginsenoside Rb1 is incorporated into and fused with LEVs to form hybrid bio-nanovesicles, while the vesicle surface is functionalized with cyclic RGD (cRGD) peptides to target integrin \u03b1v\u03b23 highly expressed in inflamed pulmonary tissues, thereby enhancing site-specific delivery. In vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD effectively inhibited M1 macrophage polarization, suppressed inflammatory cascades, and preserved epithelial-endothelial integrity. Furthermore, exogenous cholesterol loading improved vesicle stability, maintained the pH gradient, and enhanced the loading efficiency of tigecycline and vancomycin by six-fold. In murine models of bacterial pneumonia induced by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, antibiotic-loaded GRb1@LEVs-cRGD efficiently accumulated at infection sites and exhibited synergistic anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. Overall, this study demonstrates that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD is a safe, targeted, and multifunctional therapeutic platform with significant potential for ALI/ARDS treatment.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42293730 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 40414583 for the quote: \"Ginger-derived sEVs were identified as the most effective, significantly reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6 and tumor norosis factor-\u03b1), increasing the anti-inflammatory cytokine (interleukin-10), and suppressing ROS production.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Plant-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have emerged as promising therapeutic agents due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. This study conducted a network meta-analysis to identify the most effective plant-derived sEVs for reducing sepsis-induced inflammation and oxidative stress. The analysis included 13 studies evaluating 10 plant-derived sEVs in sepsis-mimicking conditions, with primary outcomes focused on cytokine levels and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in vitro and in vivo. Secondary outcomes included nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression and cell viability. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251011005). Ginger-derived sEVs were identified as the most effective, significantly reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), increasing the anti-inflammatory cytokine (interleukin-10), and suppressing ROS production. They also enhanced Nrf2 expression and improved cell viability, highlighting their role in antioxidant defense and cytoprotection. In conclusion, ginger-derived sEVs are the most effective plant-derived sEVs for mitigating sepsis-induced inflammation and oxidation in both in vitro and in vivo sepsis-mimicking models.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 40414583 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 35154496 for the quote: \"Oral administration of GDNP prevents insulin resistance in HFD mice.

Diet manipulation is the foundation of prevention and treatment of obesity and diabetes. The molecular mechanisms that mediate the diet-based prevention of insulin resistance, however, remain to be identified. Here, we report that treatment with orally administered ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) prevents insulin resistance by restoring homeostasis in gut epithelial Foxa2 mediated signaling in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Methods: Ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) were added into drinking water to treat high-fat diet fed mice for at least one year or throughout their life span. A micro array profile of intestinal, liver and fat tissue of GDNP treated mice was used to analyze their gene expression profile. Genes associated with metabolism or insulin signaling were further quantified using the real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was used for determining the interaction between Foxa2 protein and phosphatic acid lipid nanoparticles. Results: HFD-feeding inhibited the expression of Foxa2; the GDNPs increased the expression of Foxa2 and protected Foxa2 against Akt-1 mediated phosphorylation and subsequent inactivation of Foxa2. Increasing expression of Foxa2 leads to altering the composition of intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) exosomes of mice fed a HFD and prevents IEC exosome mediated insulin resistance. Collectively, oral administration of GDNP prevents insulin resistance in HFD mice. Interestingly, oral administration of GDNP also extended the life span of the mice and inhibited skin inflammation. Conclusion: Our findings showed that GDNP treatment can prevent HFD-induced obesity and insulin resistance via protecting the Foxa2 from Akt-1 mediated phosphorylation. GDNP treatment provides an alternative approach based on diet manipulation for the development of therapeutic interventions for obesity.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 35154496 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42395025 for the quote: \"A central translational constraint is pharmacokinetics and the \"microbiota gatekeeping\" effect: many parent ginsenosides show limited oral absorption and require microbiota-mediated deglycosylation.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

This review focuses on representative metabolites (Rg3, Rh2 and compound K) and summarizes mechanistic evidence for apoptosis and cell-cycle control, metabolic reprogramming (Warburg-type glycolysis), and epigenetic regulation (miRNA/lncRNA-linked programs), together with immunomodulatory effects in the tumor microenvironment. A central translational constraint is pharmacokinetics and the \"microbiota gatekeeping\" effect: many parent ginsenosides show limited oral absorption and require microbiota-mediated deglycosylation, resulting in delayed and variable systemic exposure across individuals. To address this bottleneck, we discuss pragmatic translational directions including bioconversion/pre-transformation to enrich active metabolites, biomimetic delivery platforms such as ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles to improve exposure and tissue uptake, and mechanism-guided combinations (e.g., with immune checkpoint blockade). Finally, we outline how biomarker-informed stratification and AI/ML-enabled, hypothesis-generating optimization of delivery/formulation may support more predictable clinical development.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42395025 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 41507517 for the quote: \"Collectively, these findings underscore the potential of PGEs as bioactive agents for obesity management by concurrently inhibiting adipogenesis and lipogenesis.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

PGEs were isolated using a tangential flow filtration system, yielding particles with an average diameter of 159.5\u00a0nm and a concentration of 3.9\u2009\u00d7\u20091012 particles/mL. In 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, PGE treatment resulted in a 72.1% reduction in lipid accumulation, as demonstrated by Oil Red O staining, indicating significant inhibition of adipogenic differentiation. Elevated expression of surface markers TET-8 (147.2%) verified the exosomal nature of the isolated vesicles. To determine their role in adipocyte differentiation, we analyzed gene and protein expression of key adipogenic markers-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-\u03b3), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha and beta, and fatty acid-binding protein 4-revealing reductions of 23.6-35.6% and 26.7-35.2%, respectively. These results indicate downregulation of transcriptional and translational pathways driving adipogenesis. Lipogenic regulators, including sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthase, were also suppressed by 24.9-41.0% (gene) and 22.8-24.5% (protein), indicating impaired fatty acid synthesis. Conversely, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) expression increased by up to 53.8% (gene) and 47.9% (protein), implying activation of energy homeostasis signaling. Immunofluorescence analysis showed a reduction in the MitoTracker/DAPI ratio (57.7-60.0%) and an increase in the F-actin/DAPI ratio (39.5-60.8%), indicating decreased mitochondrial activity and enhanced cytoskeletal integrity. These molecular changes were accompanied by AMPK activation and PPAR-\u03b3 inhibition. Collectively, these findings underscore the potential of PGEs as bioactive agents for obesity management by concurrently inhibiting adipogenesis and lipogenesis, providing a strong basis for their application in anti-obesity functional foods and pharmaceutical products.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 41507517 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 41674725 for the quote: \"GDEVs have emerged as a novel anti-inflammatory agent with advantages such as oral bioavailability, natural origin, and cost-effective large-scale production.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

This study evaluated the therapeutic potential of GDEVs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation and joint destruction. We conducted both in vitro and in vivo experiments using synovial fibroblasts derived from RA patients and a collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) mouse model. In vitro, GDEVs significantly suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) and interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2 and downstream mediators IL-6, Cox-2, and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) and inhibited the proliferation and migration of RA synovial fibroblasts. In vivo, oral administration of GDEVs to CAIA mice reduced arthritis severity, attenuated synovitis, preserved cartilage integrity, and suppressed osteoclast activation. GDEVs were stable against gastric digestion and were efficiently taken up by intestinal cells, supporting their oral availability. Microarray and RNA sequencing identified miR-149 as a key regulatory molecule in GDEVs, associated with the suppression of inflammation-related signaling pathways, including Ras signaling and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. These findings highlight the potential of GDEVs as an anti-inflammatory therapy for RA. Given their stability and bioavailability, the oral administration of GDEVs could be a promising non-invasive treatment for future clinical applications.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 41674725 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"Plant-derived vesicles offer several advantages, including high yield, low cost, ethical compatibility, safety, and potential health benefits.\" (Source: 40867857)\n- \"The lipidomic analysis revealed the presence of cytotoxic gingerols and shogaols in ginger-derived EVs (GEVs).\" (Source: 39737211)\n- \"AGVNs were found to contain 26 ginsenosides (14 protopanaxadiols, 11 protopanaxatriols, and 1 oleanolic acid).\" (Source: 39124849)\n- \"GDEVs were stable against gastric digestion and were efficiently taken up by intestinal cells, supporting their oral availability.\" (Source: 41674725)\n- \"GDEs isolated from Korean Panax ginseng exhibited a spherical morphology, high stability, and effective encapsulation of bioactive ginsenosides, including Rb1, Rg1, and Rg3.\" (Source: 41530048)\n- \"Mechanistically, GEXO demonstrated superior blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration through clathrin-, caveolin- and macropinocytosis-mediated transcytosis, followed by tumor-specific accumulation via exocytosis.\" (Source: 41277808)\n- \"AGELNs significantly mitigated DIC by activating GPX4 and suppressing cardiomyocyte ferroptosis in vitro and in vivo.\" (Source: 41621347)\n- \"GENs with low toxicity showed a long-lasting intestinal retention effect for 48 h, which could lead to effective suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 production through inhibition of NF-\u03baB in DSS-induced colitis.\" (Source: 37720571)\n- \"Phytosomes and PBNPs markedly enhance oral bioavailability and targeted delivery of lipophilic phytochemicals, while PDEVs offer unique immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and gene-regulatory activities.\" (Source: 41901427)\n- \"The BBB permeability test showed that ginger and aloe EVs permeated the BBB whilst BCS blank and loaded EVs did not permeate the BBB.\" (Source: 41484169)\n- \"Ginsenosides protected against CVDs such as ischemic reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis and heart failure mainly through improving energy metabolism, inhibiting hyper-autophagy, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and promoting secretion of exosomes.\" (Source: 38964625)\n- \"Experimental studies confirmed that GDNPs were successfully isolated and characterized with uniform size distribution and round- or cup-shaped morphology, and Cel was successful encapsulated into GDNPs.\" (Source: 42567375)\n- \"Mass spectrometry analysis confirmed that the main component of Gn-Exos was Gn-Rh2.

While ginger vesicles are predominantly characterized for their gut-homing, anti-inflammatory, and colonic-targeted drug delivery capabilities (e.g., in colitis and glioblastoma), ginseng-derived nanovesicles emphasize immunomodulatory, neuroprotective, and metabolic regulatory pathways, frequently leveraging their rich bioactive ginsenoside cargo.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe convergence of medicinal plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) represents a paradigm shift in precision phytomedicine. Ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GELNs) consistently demonstrate remarkable intestinal stability and targeted delivery efficiency. Their therapeutic application is heavily linked to their lipid composition and the presence of 6-gingerol and shogaols. Conversely, ginseng-derived vesicles (e.g., Gn-Exos, PGEs) leverage an extensive repertoire of ginsenosides to modulate complex systemic pathways such as AMPK signaling and ferroptosis. Both platforms exhibit commonalities in their natural origin, spherical morphology, and capacity to cross biological barriers, including the blood-brain barrier. The distinction lies in their specific clinical application: ginger vesicles are often favored for gastrointestinal and glioblastoma models, whereas ginseng vesicles are frequently targeted toward systemic metabolic, neuroprotective, and immune-polarization disorders.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   GELNs consistently exhibit pH-sensitivity and robust mucoadhesive properties within the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating therapeutic retention.\n*   Ginseng-derived nanovesicles demonstrate significant cross-kingdom regulatory roles, often by delivering bioactive plant microRNAs that modulate host gene expression.\n*   The extraction protocols for both vesicle types increasingly transition toward cost-effective methods, such as PEG-based precipitation, replacing traditional ultracentrifugation.\n*   GELNs can act as natural nanovehicles to mitigate thermal hazards in food processing, while ginseng vesicles are explored for systemic anti-senescent and anti-aging properties.\n*   Biomimetic modification (e.g., FA-conjugation or cRGD peptide functionalization) is a shared strategy to enhance the site-specific accumulation of both ginger and ginseng-derived vesicles.\n*   Ginger vesicles possess inherent cytotoxic activity against tumor cells (e.g., glioblastoma), whereas ginseng vesicles are frequently utilized as potent adjuvants in chemotherapy sensitization.\n*   The \"microbiota gatekeeping\" effect remains a central pharmacokinetic constraint for ginseng, which vesicle encapsulation attempts to bypass.\n*   Both platforms show excellent short-term safety profiles, with no significant immunogenicity reported in preclinical models.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

It has been shown that dietary administration of lycopene or the herbal medicine Sho-saiko-to (TJ-9) has anticarcinogenic activity, although the mechanism by which these products protect against carcinogenesis is not well known. We investigated the outcome of administration of lycopene and TJ-9 on the occurrence of hepatic neoplasia in LEC rats. A diet containing 0.005% lycopene (originally the product of tomato oleoresin containing 13% lycopene) and 1% TJ-9 (crude extracts of 7 herbs: bupleurum root, pinellia tuber, scutellaria root, jujube fruit, ginseng root, glycyrrhiza root, and ginger rhizome) was administered from 6 weeks of age until the rats were sacrificed at 76 weeks of age, at which time most of the nontreated animals were known to have hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Development of HCC in treated groups was analyzed histologically by comparison with untreated controls. Glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P) was analyzed by an immunohistochemical method. Concentration of copper, iron, and zinc, which appear to play a role in hepatocarcinogenesis in LEC rats, was analyzed. The percent areas of HCC in the liver specimens of control, lycopene, and TJ-9 groups were 17.9 +/- 17.1%, 27.2 +/- 20.8%, and 27.6 +/- 18.4%, respectively. These intergroup differences were not significant. The percent area, number of areas, and mean size of area staining positively for GST-P revealed no significant differences between the groups. The number of GST-P-positive areas within the HCC lesions was greater in the TJ-9 group than in the control or lycopene group (p = 0.024 and p = 0.012, respectively). The study also demonstrated a lower concentration of iron in livers of the lycopene group than the control group (p = 0.019). There were no differences in serum alpha-fetoprotein levels or the cumulative survival rates between the groups. In conclusion, long-term administration of lycopene or TJ-9 did not reduce the risk of hepatocarcinogenesis in LEC rats.",

Besides its food-additive functions, ginger has a long history of medicinal use for the treatment of a variety of human ailments including common colds, fever, rheumatic disorders, gastrointestinal complications, motion sickness, diabetes, cancer, etc. Ginger contains several nonvolatile pungent principles viz. gingerols, shogaols, paradols and zingerone, which account for many of its health beneficial effects. Studies conducted in cultured cells as well as in experimental animals revealed that these pungent phenolics possess anticarcinogenic properties. This chapter summarizes updated information on chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic effects of ginger-derived phenolic substances and their underlying mechanisms.",
        "21919844": "ID: 21919844\nTitle: Clinical herbal interactions with conventional drugs: from molecules to maladies.\nAbstract: Clinical studies and case reports have identified a number of herb-drug interactions potentiated by the concurrent use of herbal medicines with prescription drugs. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the mechanisms and clinical implications of such herb-drug interactions by reviewing published human studies. Both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic components may be involved in herbdrug interactions, although metabolic induction or inhibition is a common underlying mechanism for many herb-drug interactions. Drugs that have a high potential to interact with herbal medicines usually have a narrow therapeutic index, including warfarin, digoxin, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, amitriptyline, midazolam, indinavir, and irinotecan. Many of them are substrates of cytochrome P450s (CYPs) and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Herbal medicines that are reported to interact with drugs include garlic (Allium sativum), ginger (Zingiber officinale), ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba), ginseng (Panax ginseng), and St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum). For example, garlic has been shown to increase the clotting time and international normalized ratio (INR) of warfarin, cause hypoglycaemia when taken with chlorpropamide, and reduce the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximum concentration of saquinavir in humans. Similarly, case reports have demonstrated that ginkgo may potentiate bleeding when combined with warfarin or aspirin, increases blood pressure when combined with thiazide diuretics, and has even led to a coma when combined with trazodone, a serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor used to treat depression. Furthermore, ginseng reduced the blood levels of warfarin and alcohol as well as induced mania if taken concomitantly with phenelzine, a non-selective and irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor used as an antidepressant and anxiolytic agent. Lastly, multiple herb-drug interactions have been identified with St. John's wort that involve significantly reduced AUC and blood concentrations of warfarin, digoxin, indinavir, theophylline, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, amitriptyline, midazolam, and phenprocoumon. The clinical consequence of herb-drug interactions varies, from being well-tolerated to moderate or serious adverse reactions, or possibly life-threatening events. Undoubtedly, the early and timely identification of herb-drug interactions is imperative to prevent potentially dangerous clinical outcomes. Further well-designed studies are warranted to address the mechanisms and clinical significance of important herb-drug interactions.",
        "22504362": "ID: 22504362\nTitle: Therapeutic potential of heat-processed Panax ginseng with respect to oxidative tissue damage.\nAbstract: Panax ginseng has been reported to exhibit a wide range of pharmacological and physiological actions. A method of heat-processing to enhance the efficacy of ginseng is well established in South Korea based on a long history of ethnopharmacological evidence. We investigated the increase in free radical-scavenging activity of Panax ginseng as a result of heat-processing and its active compounds related to fortified antioxidant activity. In addition, the therapeutic potential of heat-processed ginseng (HPG) with respect to oxidative tissue damage was examined using rat models. Based upon chemical and biological activity tests, the free radical-scavenging active components such as less-polar ginsenosides and maltol in Panax ginseng significantly increased depending on the temperature of heat-processing. According to animal experiments related to oxidative tissue damage, HPG displayed hepatoprotective action by reducing the elevated thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBA-RS) level, as well as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein expressions, while increasing heme oxygenase-1 in the lipopolysaccharide-treated rat liver, and HPG also displayed renal protective action by ameliorating physiological abnormalities and reducing elevated TBA-RS, advanced glycation endproduct (AGE) levels, NF-kappaB, cyclooxygenase-2, iNOS, 3-nitrotyrosine, N?-(carboxymethyl)lysine, and receptors for AGE protein expression in the diabetic rat kidney. Therefore, HPG clearly has a therapeutic potential with respect to oxidative tissue damage by inhibiting protein expression related to oxidative stress and AGEs, and further investigations of active compounds are underway. This investigation of specified bioactive constituents is important for the development of scientific ginseng-derived drugs as part of ethnomedicine.",

Here, we investigate the biological effects of edible plant derived exosome-like nanoparticles (EPDENs) on mammalian cells. In this study, exosome-like nanoparticles from four edible plants were isolated and characterized. We show that these EPDENs contain proteins, lipids, and microRNA. EPDENs are taken up by intestinal macrophages and stem cells. The results generated from EPDEN-transfected macrophages indicate that ginger EPDENs preferentially induce the expression of the antioxidation gene, heme oxygenase-1 and the anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10; whereas grapefruit, ginger, and carrot EPDENs promote activation of nuclear factor like (erythroid-derived 2). Furthermore, analysis of the intestines of canonical Wnt-reporter mice, i.e. B6.Cg-Tg(BAT-lacZ)3Picc/J mice, revealed that the numbers of \u03b2-galactosidase(+) (\u03b2-Gal) intestinal crypts are increased, suggesting that EPDEN treatment of mice leads to Wnt-mediated activation of the TCF4 transcription machinery in the crypts. The data suggest a role for EPDEN-mediated interspecies communication by inducing expression of genes for anti-inflammation cytokines, antioxidation, and activation of Wnt signaling, which are crucial for maintaining intestinal homeostasis.",

Systematic reviews/meta-analyses suggest preliminary or satisfactory clinical evidence for agnus castus (Vitex agnus castus) for premenstrual complaints, flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) for hypertension, feverfew (Tanacetum partenium) for migraine prevention, ginger (Zingiber officinalis) for pregnancy-induced nausea, ginseng (Panax ginseng) for improving fasting glucose levels as well as phytoestrogens and St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) for the relief of some symptoms in menopause. However, firm conclusions of efficacy cannot be generally drawn. On the other hand, inconclusive evidence of efficacy or contradictory results have been reported for Aloe vera in the treatment of psoriasis, cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) in cystitis prevention, ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) for tinnitus and intermittent claudication, echinacea (Echinacea spp.) for the prevention of common cold and pomegranate (Punica granatum) for the prevention/treatment of cardiovascular diseases. A critical evaluation of the clinical data regarding the adverse effects has shown that herbal remedies are generally better tolerated than synthetic medications. Nevertheless, potentially serious adverse events, including herb-drug interactions, have been described. This suggests the need to be vigilant when using herbal remedies, particularly in specific conditions, such as during pregnancy and in the paediatric population.

        "28966252": "ID: 28966252\nTitle: Inhibitory Effects of Polyacetylene Compounds from Panax ginseng on Neurotrophin Receptor-Mediated Hair Growth.\nAbstract: Neurotrophins play an important role in the control of the hair growth cycle. Therefore, neurotrophin receptor antagonists have therapeutic potential for the treatment of hair growth disorders. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of Panax ginseng, a medicinal plant commonly used to treat alopecia, on the binding of neurotrophins to their receptors. In addition, we isolated and characterized the bioactive compounds of P. ginseng extracts. P. ginseng hexane extracts strongly inhibited brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-TrkB and \u03b2-nerve growth factor (\u03b2-NGF)-p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) binding. Furthermore, we identified the following 6 polyacetylene compounds as the bioactive components in P. ginseng hexane extract: panaxynol (1), panaxydol (2), panaxydol chlorohydrin (3), 1,8-heptadecadiene-4,6-diyne-3,10-diol (4), panaxytriol (5), and dihydropanaxacol (6). In particular, compounds 4, 5, and 6 significantly inhibited BDNF-TrkB binding in a dose-dependent manner. To identify the structural component mediating the inhibitory effect, we investigated the effects of the hydroxyl moiety in these compounds. We found that the inhibitory effect of panaxytriol (5) was strong, whereas the inhibitory effect of Ac-panaxytriol (7) was relatively weak. Our findings suggest that P. ginseng-derived polyacetylenes with a hydroxyl moiety might provide therapeutic benefits to patients with hair growth disorders such as alopecia by inhibiting the binding of neurotrophins to their receptors. Although saponins have been proposed to be the primary mediators of the effects of P. ginseng on hair growth, this study revealed that polyacetylene compounds exert similar effects.",
        "30279553": "ID: 30279553\nTitle: Arrowtail RNA for Ligand Display on Ginger Exosome-like Nanovesicles to Systemic Deliver siRNA for Cancer Suppression.\nAbstract: Exosomes have shown increasing potential as delivery vesicles for therapy, but challenges like cost/yield, drug payload, and targeting specificity still exist. Plant derived exosome-like nanoparticles have been reported as a promising substitution and exhibit biocompatibility through oral, intranasal administration; however, systemic delivery of siRNA by exosome-like nanoparticles directly isolated from plants has not been reported. Recently, we reported the control of RNA orientation to decorate human derived exosome with cell targeting ligands for specific delivery of siRNA to tumors. Here, we expand to the application of arrowtail RNA nanoparticles for displaying ligands on ginger derived exosome-like nanovesicles (GDENs) for siRNA delivery and tumor inhibition through IV administration. Cushion ultracentrifugation coupled with equilibrium density gradient ultracentrifugation were used for purifying GDENs that displayed size, density, and morphology similar to human derived exosomes. Folic acid (FA), as a ligand, was displayed on the surface of GDENs for targeted delivery of survivin siRNA to KB cancer models. In vitro gene knockdown efficacy by FA-3WJ/GDENs/siRNA complex was comparable to transfection. We observed inhibition of tumor growth on a xenograft model by intravenous administration, which reveals the potential of GDENs as an economic delivery system for siRNA.",
        "31038962": "ID: 31038962\nTitle: Exosome-like Nanoparticles from Ginger Rhizomes Inhibited NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation.\nAbstract: The nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat-containing family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a key regulator of innate immune responses, and its aberrant activation is implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes. Targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome could hold promise to combat these complex diseases, but therapies specifically inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome have not been developed for patient treatment. The current study aimed to identify food-borne exosome-like nanoparticles (ELNs) that inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activity. Nine vegetables or fruits were selected to extract ELNs, which were examined for their inhibitory effects on activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in primary macrophages. Although most of the tested ELNs posed minimal impacts, the ELNs from ginger rhizomes (G-ELNs) strongly inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation. The G-ELNs contained lipids, proteins, and RNAs and were easily taken up by macrophages. G-ELN treatment suppressed pathways downstream of inflammasome activation including caspase1 autocleavage, interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2 and IL-18 secretion, and pyroptotic cell death. Apoptotic speck protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC) oligomerization and speck formation assays indicated that G-ELNs blocked assembly of the NLRP3 inflammasome. The lipids in G-ELNs, rather than the RNAs or proteins, were responsible for the inhibitory activity observed. Together, the data suggested G-ELNs as new potent agents that block NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and activation. The unique features of G-ELNs including biomolecule protection and tissue bioavailability should facilitate the development of G-ELN-based therapy to target the NLRP3 inflammasome in the disease settings.",
        "31775862": "ID: 31775862\nTitle: Ginseng-derived nanoparticles alter macrophage polarization to inhibit melanoma growth.\nAbstract: It is unclear whether plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) can mediate interspecies communication with mammalian cells. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) display a continuum of different polarization states between tumoricidal M1 phenotype and tumor-supportive M2 phenotypes, with a lower M1/M2 ratio correlating with tumor growth, angiogenesis and invasion. We investigated whether EVs from ginseng can alter M2-like polarization both in vitro and in vivo to promote cancer immunotherapy. A novel EVs-liked ginseng-derived nanoparticles (GDNPs) were isolated and characterized from Panax ginseng C. A. Mey. Using GDNPs as an immunopotentiator for altering M2 polarized macrophages, we analyzed associated surface markers, genes and cytokines of macrophages treated with GDNPs. Mice bearing B16F10 melanoma were treated with GDNPs therapy. Tumor growth were assessed, and TAM populations were evaluated by FACS and IF. GDNPs significantly promoted the polarization of M2 to M1 phenotype and produce total reactive oxygen species, resulting in increasing apoptosis of mouse melanoma cells. GDNP-induced M1 polarization was found to depend upon Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 and myeloid differentiation antigen 88 (MyD88)-mediated signaling. Moreover, ceramide lipids and proteins of GDNPs may play an important role in macrophage polarization via TLR4 activation. We found that GDNPs treatment significantly suppressed melanoma growth in tumor-bearing mice with increased presence of M1 macrophages detected in the tumor tissue. GDNPs can alter M2 polarization both in vitro and in vivo, which contributes to an antitumor response. The polarization of macrophages induced by GDNPs is largely dependent on TLR4 and MyD88 signalling. GDNPs as an immunomodulator participate in mammalian immune response and may represent a new class of nano-drugs in cancer immunotherapy.",

Ethosomes have a unique ability of encapsulating drugs or plant extracts with varying hydrophobicities in the phospholipid bilayer. To explore cytotoxicity of the combined plant extracts and ethosome loaded combined plant extracts for topical delivery. To study effect of ethosomes loaded combined plant extracts using HaCaT cells model treated with testosterone. Dried powder of plant was extracted with ethanol using Soxhlet and cold macerations. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were also determined using established methods. The combined extract loaded ethosome formulation was prepared by solvent dispersion method. The plant extracts loaded ethosomes formulation with a vesicle size range 1524.6-167.7\u00a0nm was prepared. HaCaT cells treated with testosterone negative control showed an IC50 value of 27\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.0. Thw standard marketed topical minoxidil (1% solution) treated cells with testosterone showed an IC50 value 33\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.0 and the combined plant extracts loaded ethosomes with testosterone showed an IC50 value 30\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.0. Morphological alterations of rat skin exposed to the combined plant extract loaded ethosomes solution were assessed and compared with untreated skin and negative control. The preclinical safety was investigated employing an in vitro cytotoxicity and histopathological study. The cell line study results confirmed that the combined plant extracts loaded ethosomes inhibits testosterone and increase cell viability closer to that of standard drug minoxidil. According to our histopathological study, the combined plant extract loaded ethosomal formulations did not cause any damage to the rat skin layer.",
        "32157137": "ID: 32157137\nTitle: A cost-effective polyethylene glycol-based method for the isolation of functional edible nanoparticles from ginger rhizomes.\nAbstract: Edible nanoparticles (ENPs) are nano-sized vesicles derived from edible plants. These ENPs are loaded with plant derived microRNAs, protein, lipids and phytochemicals. Recently, ginger derived ENPs was shown to prevent inflammatory bowel diseases and colon cancer, in vivo, highlighting their therapeutic potential. Conventionally, differential centrifugation with an ultra-centrifugation step is employed to purify these ENPs which imposes limitation on the cost-effectiveness of their purification. Herein, we developed polyethylene glycol-6000 (PEG6000) based ginger ENP purification (PEG-ENPs) method, which eliminates the need for expensive ultracentrifugation. Using different PEG6000 concentrations, we could recover between 60% to 90% of ENPs compared to ultracentrifugation method. PEG-ENPs exhibit near identical size and zeta potential similar to ultra-ENPs. The biochemical composition of PEG-ENPs, such as proteins, lipids, small RNAs and bioactive content is comparable to that of ultra-ENPs. In addition, similar to ultra-ENPs, PEG-ENPs are efficiently taken up by the murine macrophages and protects cells from hydrogen peroxide induced oxidative stress. Since PEG has been approved as food additive, the PEG method described here will provide a cost-effective alternative to purify ENPs, which can be directly used as a dietary supplement in therapeutic formulations.",

Contrarily, plant-derived nanoparticles appear to be free from these limitations of synthetic nanoparticles; they are naturally occurring biocompatible vesicles that do not generate immunotoxicity and are easy to obtain. Additionally, lipids isolated from plant-derived nanoparticles have shown the capability of assembling themselves to spherical nano-sized liposomal particles. Herein, we employ lipids extracted from ginger-derived nanoparticles and load them with therapeutic siRNA (CD98-siRNA) to create CD98-siRNA/ginger-lipid nanoparticles. Characterization of the CD98-siRNA/ginger-lipid nanoparticles showed that they present a spherical shape, with a diameter of around 189.5 nm. The surface zeta potential of the nanoparticles varies from -18.1 to -18.4 mV. Furthermore, in recent research, the CD98-siRNA/ginger-lipid nanoparticles have shown specific colon targeting capability and excellent anti-inflammatory efficacy in a Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS) induced mouse model of colitis.",

Despite the global prevalence, there are currently no vaccines or drugs. Dietary plant derived exosome-like vesicles are known as edible nanoparticles (ENPs). ENPs are filled with microRNAs (miRNAs), in bioavailable form. Recently, cross-kingdom regulation of human transcripts by plant miRNAs have been demonstrated. However, ENP derived miRNAs targeting SARS-CoV-2 has not been described. Mature ENP-derived miRNA sequences were retrieved from small RNA sequencing datasets available in the literature. In silico target prediction was performed to identify miRNAs that could target SARS-CoV-2. ENPs were isolated from ginger and grapefruit plants and the expression of SARS-CoV-2 targeting miRNAs were confirmed by qRT-PCR. From a total of 260 ENP-derived miRNAs, we identified 22 miRNAs that could potentially target SARS-CoV-2 genome. 11 miRNAs showed absolute target specificity towards SARS-CoV-2 but not SARS-CoV. ENPs from soybean, ginger, hamimelon, grapefruit, tomato and pear possess multiple miRNAs targeting different regions within SARS-CoV-2. Interestingly, osa/cme miR-530b-5p specifically targeted the ribosomal slippage site between ORF1a and ORF1b. We validated the relative expression of six miRNAs (miR-5077, miR-6300, miR-156a, miR-169, miR-5059 and miR-166\u00a0m) in ginger and grapefruit ENPs by RT-PCR which showed differential enrichment of specific miRNAs in ginger and grapefruit ENPs. Since administration of ENPs leads to their accumulation into lung tissues in vivo, ENP derived miRNAs targeting SARS-CoV-2 genome has the potential to be developed as an alternative therapy.",

Most active constituents in ginseng are prepared via fermentation or organic acid pretreatment. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by most organisms from prokaryotes to eukaryotes and play central roles in intra- and inter-species communications. Plants produce EVs upon exposure to microbes; however, their direct functions and utility for human health are barely known, except for being proposed as delivery vehicles. In this study, we isolated EVs from ginseng roots (GrEVs) or the culture supernatants of ginseng cells (GcEVs) derived from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer and investigated their biological effects on human skin cells. GrEV or GcEV treatments improved the replicative senescent or senescence-associated pigmented phenotypes of human dermal fibroblasts or ultraviolet B radiation-treated human melanocytes, respectively, by downregulating senescence-associated molecules and/or melanogenesis-related proteins. Based on comprehensive lipidomic analysis using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, the lipidomic profile of GrEVs differed from that of the parental root extracts, showing significant increases in 70 of 188 identified lipid species and prominent increases in diacylglycerols, some phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, lysophosphatidylcholine), and sphingomyelin, revealing their unique vesicular properties. Therefore, our results imply that GEVs represent a novel type of bioactive and sustainable nanomaterials that can be applied to human tissues for improving tissue conditions and targeted delivery of active constituents.",

The molecular mechanisms that mediate the diet-based prevention of insulin resistance are not well understood. Here, as proof-of-concept, ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) were used for studying molecular mechanisms underlying GDNP mediated prevention of high-fat diet induced insulin resistance. Methods: Ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) were isolated from ginger roots and administered orally to C57BL/6 high-fat diet mice. Fecal exosomes released from intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) of PBS or GDNP treated high-fat diet (HFD) fed mice were isolated by differential centrifugation. A micro-RNA (miRNA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) array was used to profile the exosomal miRs and miRs of interest were further analyzed by quantitative real time (RT) PCR. miR-375 or antisense-miR375 was packed into nanoparticles made from the lipids extracted from GDNP. Nanoparticles was fluorescent labeled for monitoring their in vivo trafficking route after oral administration. The effect of these nanoparticles on glucose and insulin response of mice was determined by glucose and insulin tolerance tests. Results: We report that HFD feeding increased the expression of AhR and inhibited the expression of miR-375 and VAMP7. Treatment with orally administered ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) resulted in reversing HFD mediated inhibition of the expression of miR-375 and VAMP7. miR-375 knockout mice exhibited impaired glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance. Induction of intracellular miR-375 led to inhibition of the expression of AhR and VAMP7 mediated exporting of miR-375 into intestinal epithelial exosomes where they were taken up by gut bacteria and inhibited the production of the AhR ligand indole. Intestinal exosomes can also traffic to the liver and be taken up by hepatocytes, leading to miR-375 mediated inhibition of hepatic AhR over-expression and inducing the expression of genes associated with the hepatic insulin response. Altogether, GDNP prevents high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance by miR-375 mediated inhibition of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor mediated pathways over activated by HFD feeding. Conclusion: Collectively our findings reveal that oral administration of GDNP to HFD mice improves host glucose tolerance and insulin response via regulating AhR expression by GDNP induced miR-375 and VAMP7.",

However, ginsenoside compound K (CK) with 1 conjugated glucose molecule exhibits favorable absorption. The purpose of this study was to compare the pharmacokinetics of ginsenoside CK from a CK fermentation product, CK-30, and from a red ginseng extract. A randomized, open-label, 2-treatment, 2\u00d72 crossover study was conducted. The volunteers were randomly divided into 2 groups. One group received CK-30, and the other group received 2.94 g of a red ginseng extract. After a 7-day washout period, the subjects received an alternative treatment for a single dose. The pharmacokinetic parameters, including the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of last measurable concentration, were calculated. The median time to reach Cmax of ginsenoside CK after administration of CK-30 was 3.0 hours, whereas the corresponding value of the red ginseng extract was 10.0 hours. Compared with the red ginseng extract, CK-30 resulted in a higher systemic exposure to ginsenoside CK, with a 118.3-fold increase in Cmax and a 135.1-fold increase in area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of last measurable concentration. The systemic exposure to ginsenoside CK was significantly higher after administration of CK-30 than red ginseng extract.",

Most of these studies focused on the extracellular vesicles from animals, but few involved in the extracellular vesicles from edible plants. This study was the first to explore the potential and value of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEVs) as drug carrier by using the content ratio method and to further study their intestinal absorption in rats. In this experiment, GDEVs were extracted and purified by ultrahigh-speed centrifugation. GDEVs were saucer-like with a particle size of 70.09\u00b119.24 nm and a zeta potential of -27.70\u00b112.20 mV. In this experiment, high-performance liquid chromatography was used to explore the difference in gingerol content between GDEVs and ginger slices. Under the same mass, the contents of 6-gingerol (6G), 8-gingerol (8G), and 10-gingerol (10G) in GDEVs were 10.21-fold, 22.69-fold, and 32.36-fold of those in ginger slices, respectively. In this experiment, the absorption kinetics and absorption site of GDEVs were investigated using in situ single-pass intestinal perfusion method in rats. GDEVs could be absorbed by the small intestine in the concentration range of 15-60 mg/mL, and the absorption trend of different intestinal segments was duodenum > jejunum > ileum. These results indicated that GDEVs had good loading capacity and significant prospects as a carrier of the drug delivery system. At the same time, combining the oil-water partition coefficient (6G < 8G < 10G) of three gingerol compounds, we speculated that the loading capacity of GDEVs increased with the increase of the lipid solubility of the compounds. This study fully demonstrated the potential and value of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles as natural nanocarrier and provided an important reference for the further application of plant-derived extracellular vesicles in the drug delivery system.",

Materials & methods: Dox@Rg1 nanoparticles were developed by encapsulating doxorubicin (Dox) in\u00a0a self-assembled Rg1. The antitumor effect of the nanoparticles was estimated using 4T1 tumor-bearing mice and the protective effect on the heart was investigated in vitro and in vivo. Results: Different from Dox, the Dox@Rg1 nanoparticles induced increased cytotoxicity to tumor cells, which was decreased in cardiomyocytes by the inhibition of apoptosis. The study in vivo revealed that the Dox@Rg1 nanoparticles presented a perfect tumor-targeting ability and improved antitumor effects. Conclusion: Dox@Rg1 nanoparticles could enhance the antitumor effects and decrease the cardiotoxicity of Dox. Lay abstract Doxorubicin (Dox) is a drug used to treat cancer; however, it can be toxic to the heart. In this study, researchers made nanoparticles containing Dox and a component of ginseng, a root similar to ginger. They tested the nanoparticles in mice with tumors. The nanoparticles appeared to gather at the tumor site in greater amounts than free Dox. In healthy mice, the nanoparticles gathered less in the heart than free Dox.

However, the research on EVs derived from medicinal plants is very limited. In this study, Kaempferia parviflora extracellular vesicles (KPEVs) were isolated by differential and sucrose density gradient centrifugation, and their size, morphology, and surface charge were characterized using transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. The biological properties of KPEVs, including their bioactive compound composition, gastric uptake, cytotoxicity, acid tolerance, and storage stability, were also examined. In addition, KPEVs had an average and uniform size of 200-300 nm and a negative surface charge of 14.7 \u00b1 3.61 mV.

        "35154496": "ID: 35154496\nTitle: Ginger nanoparticles mediated induction of Foxa2 prevents high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance.\nAbstract: Rationale: The obesity epidemic has expanded globally, due in large part to the increased consumption of high-fat diets (HFD), and has increased the risk of major chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. Diet manipulation is the foundation of prevention and treatment of obesity and diabetes. The molecular mechanisms that mediate the diet-based prevention of insulin resistance, however, remain to be identified. Here, we report that treatment with orally administered ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) prevents insulin resistance by restoring homeostasis in gut epithelial Foxa2 mediated signaling in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Methods: Ginger-derived nanoparticles (GDNP) were added into drinking water to treat high-fat diet fed mice for at least one year or throughout their life span. A micro array profile of intestinal, liver and fat tissue of GDNP treated mice was used to analyze their gene expression profile. Genes associated with metabolism or insulin signaling were further quantified using the real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was used for determining the interaction between Foxa2 protein and phosphatic acid lipid nanoparticles. Results: HFD-feeding inhibited the expression of Foxa2; the GDNPs increased the expression of Foxa2 and protected Foxa2 against Akt-1 mediated phosphorylation and subsequent inactivation of Foxa2. Increasing expression of Foxa2 leads to altering the composition of intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) exosomes of mice fed a HFD and prevents IEC exosome mediated insulin resistance. Collectively, oral administration of GDNP prevents insulin resistance in HFD mice. Interestingly, oral administration of GDNP also extended the life span of the mice and inhibited skin inflammation. Conclusion: Our findings showed that GDNP treatment can prevent HFD-induced obesity and insulin resistance via protecting the Foxa2 from Akt-1 mediated phosphorylation. GDNP treatment provides an alternative approach based on diet manipulation for the development of therapeutic interventions for obesity.",

In this regard, the present study aims to synthesize copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) by utilizing root extracts of ginger and garlic as reducing agents, followed by the characterization and evaluation of their antimicrobial properties against multiple drug resistant (MDR) S. aureus. In this study, UV-vis spectroscopy revealed a reduced degree of absorption with an increase in the extract amount present in CuO. The maximum absorbance for doped NPs was recorded around 250 nm accompanying redshift. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the monoclinic crystal phase of the particles. The fabricated NPs exhibited spherical shapes with dense agglomeration when examined with FE-SEM and TEM. The crystallite size measured by using XRD was found to be within a range of 23.38-46.64 nm for ginger-doped CuO and 26-56 nm for garlic-doped CuO. Green synthesized NPs of ginger demonstrated higher bactericidal tendencies against MDR S. aureus. At minimum and maximum concentrations of ginger-doped CuO NPs, substantial inhibition areas for MDR S. aureus were (2.05-3.80 mm) and (3.15-5.65 mm), and they were measured as (1.1-3.55 mm) and (1.25-4.45 mm) for garlic-doped NPs.

Although abundant miRNAs are contained in ginger exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs), little is known about their type and function. Herein, we extracted GELNs with desirable particle sizes (156 \u00b1 36 nm) and a negative surface charge (-26.6 \u00b1 5 mV). The miRNA profiles in ginger and GELNs were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing, and the results of the sequencing were validated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). There were 27 miRNAs with higher expression levels in the GELNs, and they were mainly involved in the regulation of inflammatory and cancer-related pathways. Furthermore, GELNs could be specifically internalized by intestine cells via caveolin-mediated endocytosis and micropinocytosis, as well as counteract lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation by downregulating NF-\u03ba\u03b2, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-\u03b1 expression. Importantly, the positive effects were further proved to be possibly related to the miRNAs enriched in the GELNs.

However, the stability of lecithin nano-lipids is problematic due to the degradation of lecithin, causing a decrease in pH. In this study, the modification of the conventional nano-lipid-based soybean lecithin was demonstrated. Ginger-oil-derived Zingiber officinale was used along with lecithin, cholesterol and span 80 to fabricate nano-lipids (GL nano-lipids) using a thin-film method. TEM and a confocal microscope were used to elucidate GL nano-lipids' liposome-like morphology. The average size of the resultant nano-lipid was 249.1 nm with monodistribution (PDI = 0.021).

Few clinical studies have investigated 6-gingerol's wound-healing activity due to its poor pharmacokinetic properties. However, nanotechnology can deliver 6-gingerol while possibly enhancing these properties. Our study aimed to develop a nanophytosome system loaded with 6-gingerol molecules to investigate the delivery system's influence on wound healing and anti-cancer activities. We adopted the thin-film hydration method to synthesize nanophytosomes. We used lipids in a ratio of 70:25:5 for DOPC(dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine): cholesterol: DSPE/PEG2000, respectively. We loaded the 6-gingerol molecules in a concentration of 1.67 mg/mL and achieved size reduction via the extrusion technique.

Here, a simple and cost-effective green route is reported for the synthesis of ZrO2-doped ZnO/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites (ZnO/ZrO2/rGO NCs) exploiting ginger rhizome extract. Our aim was to improve the anticancer performance of ZnO/ZrO2/rGO NCs without toxicity to normal cells. The preparation of pure ZnO NPs, ZnO/ZrO2 NCs, and ZnO/ZrO2/rGO NCs was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). XRD spectra of ZnO/ZrO2/rGO NCs exhibited two distinct sets of diffraction peaks, ZnO wurtzite structure, and ZrO2 phases (monoclinic + tetragonal). The SEM and TEM data show that ZrO2-doped ZnO particles were uniformly distributed on rGO sheets with the excellent quality of lattice fringes without alterations. PL spectra intensity and particle size of ZnO decreased after ZrO2-doping and rGO addition. DLS data demonstrated that green prepared samples show excellent colloidal stability in aqueous suspension. Biological results showed that ZnO/ZrO2/rGO NCs display around 3.5-fold higher anticancer efficacy in human lung cancer (A549) and breast cancer (MCF7) cells than ZnO NPs. A mechanistic approach suggested that the anticancer response of ZnO/ZrO2/rGO NCs was mediated via oxidative stress evident by the induction of the intracellular reactive oxygen species level and the reduction of the glutathione level. Moreover, green prepared nanostructures display good cytocompatibility in normal cell lines; human lung fibroblasts (IMR90) and breast epithelial (MCF10A) cells. However, the cytocompatibility of ZnO/ZrO2/rGO NCs in normal cells was better than those of pure ZnO NPs and ZnO/ZrO2 NCs.

They are a promising material for biomedical and cosmetic utilization, especially in medicinal crops such as ginseng. One main hurdle to their usage is the need for a method to isolate stable exosomes with high purity. In this study, we first tested two methods to isolate exosomes from ginseng: ultracentrifugation, the most widely used method; and the ExoQuick system, a polymer-based exosome precipitation approach. We also designed and tested a third method in which we combined ultracentrifugation and ExoQuick methods. Size distribution analysis revealed that the exosome isolation purity by the ultracentrifugation and ExoQuick methods alone were 34.1% and 59.7%, respectively, while the combination method greatly improved exosome isolation purity (83.3%). Furthermore, we found that the combination method also increases the colloidal stability of isolated ginseng exosomes, and the increase was almost double that of the ultracentrifugation method.

Local microinjection of IL-22 cDNA vector has been shown to be effective in treating ulcerative colitis in mouse models. However, microinjection comes with multiple technical challenges for routine colon-targeted drug delivery. In contrast, oral administration can get around these challenges and provide comparable efficacy. We showed in previous studies that oral administration of new lipid nanoparticles (nLNP)-encapsulated IL-22 mRNA targets the colon region and efficiently ameliorates colitis. This protocol describes the details of preparing and characterizing the nLNP-encapsulated IL-22 mRNA using three major lipids that mimic the natural ginger-derived nanoparticles.

The size and competence of exosomes to transfer biological materials to recipient cells have made them suitable for biomedical use. Therefore, exosomes have been studied as drug delivery systems for various diseases due to low immunogenicity, preferred tumor homing, innate and acquired targetability, and stability. They are secreted by almost all cells from multivesicular endosomes and retrieved in all body fluids including bile, saliva, blood, lymph, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, milk, and etc. Plants' organs also secrete exosomes (Plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs)) which have been considered as an economical and affordable source of production. PELNs are pharmacologically rich in active molecules because of owning unique compositional and morphological features and they can be used as natural nano-carrier for transporting exogenous molecules. In this review, the bio-component and the applications of PELNs as drug delivery systems in neural disorders, tumor-targeted delivery, and gene delivery have been reviewed in different plants such as aloe, turmeric, ginger, lemon, grapefruit, grape, and strawberry.",

However, the potential therapeutic value of GT in treating epilepsy has not yet been reported. Effects of GT on epileptic seizure (seizure) in kainic acid [KA, 55mg/kg, intraperitoneal (i.p.)]-induced model of mice, excitotoxic (hippocampal) cell death in KA [0.2 \u03bcg, intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.)]-induced model of mice, and levels of proinflammatory mediators in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced BV2 cells were investigated. An i.p. injection of KA into mice produced typical seizure. However, it was significantly alleviated by oral administration of GT in a dose-dependent manner. An i.c.v. injection of KA produced typical hippocampal cell death, whereas it was significantly ameliorated by administration of GT, which was related to reduced levels of neuroglial (microglia and astrocyte) activation and proinflammatory cytokines/enzymes expression as well as increased level of the Nrf2-antioxidant response via the upregulation of LPAR 1/3 in the hippocampus. However, these positive effects of GT were neutralized by an i.p. injection of Ki16425, an antagonist of LPA1-3. GT also reduced protein expression level of inducible nitric-oxide synthase, a representative proinflammatory enzyme, in LPS-induced BV2 cells. Treatment with conditioned medium clearly reduced cultured HT-22 cell death. Taken together, these results suggest that GT may suppress KA-induced seizures and excitotoxic events in the hippocampus through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities by activating LPA signaling. Thus, GT has a therapeutic potential to treat epilepsy.",

However, in the treatment of glioma, effective nanomedicine has limited access to the brain because of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Previously, we demonstrated nano-sized ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs) consisting of phospholipids including various bioactive components, and evaluated anti-tumor immune responses in T cells and Tregs to inhibit tumor progression. It was found that the enhanced targeting ability of GENs to the BBB and glioma induced a significant therapeutic effect and exhibited strong efficacy in recruiting M1 macrophage expression in the TME.

Plant-based diets and phytochemicals can support the immune microenvironment in the intestinal epithelial barrier for a balanced immune system by improving the intestinal microecological balance and may have therapeutic potential in colitis. However, there have been only a few reports on the therapeutic potential of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PENs) and the underlying mechanism in colitis. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic effect of PENs from Panax ginseng, ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs), in a mouse model of IBD, with a focus on the intestinal immune microenvironment. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of GENs on acute colitis, we treated GENs in Caco2 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced RAW 264.7 macrophages and analyzed the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and IL-10 by real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Furthermore, we further examined bacterial DNA from feces and determined the alteration of gut microbiota composition in DSS-induced colitis mice after administration of GENs through 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. GENs with low toxicity showed a long-lasting intestinal retention effect for 48 h, which could lead to effective suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 production through inhibition of NF-\u03baB in DSS-induced colitis. As a result, it showed longer colon length and suppressed thickening of the colon wall in the mice treated with GENs. Due to the amelioration of the progression of DSS-induced colitis with GENs treatment, the prolonged survival rate was observed for 17 days compared to 9 days in the PBS-treated group. In the gut microbiota analysis, the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidota was decreased, which means GENs have therapeutic effectiveness against IBD. Ingesting GENs would be expected to slow colitis progression, strengthen the gut microbiota, and maintain gut homeostasis by preventing bacterial dysbiosis. GENs have a therapeutic effect on colitis through modulation of the intestinal microbiota and immune microenvironment. GENs not only ameliorate the inflammation in the damaged intestine by downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines but also help balance the microbiota on the intestinal barrier and thereby improve the digestive system.",

Despite this, the current knowledge of the GELN interaction with cancer cells is limited. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), an aggressive variant lacking efficient therapeutics, necessitates novel natural counterparts with minimal side effects. This study investigates the action of GELNs isolated from ginger rhizomes against TNBC cells. GELNs were isolated by ultracentrifugation and characterized physicochemically. The interaction of GELNs with TNBC cells (MDA-MB-231) was studied in detail. The GELNs induced a concentration-dependent decrease in cell viability in MDA-MB-231\u00a0cells without affecting the normal cell lines tested. GELNs induced apoptosis as indicated by morphological changes, nuclear fragmentation, membrane damage, phosphatidyl serine translocation, ROS generation, drop in mitochondrial membrane potential, expression of apoptotic specific proteins, and increased caspase activity. GELNs also instigated cell cycle arrest, retarded cell migration and colony formation in TNBC cells. These findings report a novel action of GELNs against TNBC cells and a closer look at the underlying molecular mechanism of this interspecies communication. This opens newer prospects for using dietary ELNs to target therapeutically challenging cancers.",

While various EVs are present in the market, there is a growing need for research on improving skin conditions through microbial and plant-derived EVs. Edelweiss is a medicinal plant and is currently an endangered species. Callus culture is a method used to protect rare medicinal plants, and recently, research on EVs using callus culture has been underway. In this study, the researchers used LED light to increase the productivity of Edelweiss EVs and confirmed that productivity was enhanced by LED exposure. Additionally, improvements in skin anti-aging indicators were observed. Notably, M-LED significantly elevated callus fresh and dry weight, with a DW/FW ratio of 4.11%, indicating enhanced proliferation. Furthermore, M-LED boosted secondary metabolite production, including a 20% increase in total flavonoids and phenolics. The study explores the influence of M-LED on EV production, revealing a 2.6-fold increase in concentration compared to darkness. This effect is consistent across different plant species (Centella asiatica, Panax ginseng), demonstrating the universality of the phenomenon. M-LED-treated EVs exhibit a concentration-dependent inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, surpassing dark-cultured EVs. Extracellular melanin content analysis reveals M-LED-cultured EVs' efficacy in reducing melanin production.

However, it remains challenge to elicit immune activation due to the weak immunogenicity of autologous tumor antigens. Here, a hybrid membrane cancer vaccine is successfully constructed by membrane fusion to enhance adaptive immune response and amplify personalized immunotherapy, which formed a codelivery system for autologous tumor antigens and immune adjuvants. Briefly, the functional hybrid vesicles (HM-NPs) are formed by hybridizing ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles-like particles (G-EVLPs) with the membrane originated from the resected autologous tumors. The introduction of G-EVLPs can enhance the phagocytosis of autologous tumor antigens by dendritic cells (DCs) and facilitate DCs maturation through TLR4, ultimately activating tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). HM-NPs can indeed strengthen specific immune responses to suppress tumors recurrence and metastasis including subcutaneous tumors and orthotopic tumors. Furthermore, a long-term immune protection can be obtained after vaccinating with HM-NPs, and prolonging the survival of animals. Overall, this personalized hybrid autologous tumor vaccine based on G-EVLPs provides the possibility of mitigating tumor recurrence and metastasis after surgery while maintaining good biocompatibility.",

Lizhong decoction (LZD), a classical prescription composed of Zingiber officinale Rosc., Panax ginseng C. A. Mey., Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz., and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch., has been used to treat gastrointestinal disorders in clinical practices for thousands of years. However, the mechanism of LZD in alleviating ulcerative colitis (UC) is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to clarify the potential molecular mechanism of LZD in improving UC. The amelioration of LZD on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced UC mice was evaluated by body weight, colon length, pathology of colon tissues, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and intestinal tight junction (TJ) proteins. Moreover, the gene expression profiles of UC patients were extracted to investigate potential pathological mechanisms of UC. The influence of LZD on ferroptosis was analyzed by iron load, malondialdehyde (MDA), and the expression of ferroptosis-associated proteins. Meanwhile, the inhibition of LZD on oxidative stress (OS) was assessed by the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, as well as the expression levels of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione disulfide (GSSG). Furthermore, the influence of LZD on ferroptosis was assessed by inhibiting nuclear factor (erythroid-derived-2)-like 2 (Nrf2). LZD showed significant therapeutic effects in UC mice, including reduction of intestinal injury and inflammation. Moreover, LZD treatment notably upregulated the expression of TJ proteins. Further investigation indicated that LZD significantly inhibited the ferroptosis of enterocytes by decreasing iron load and MDA, and increasing the expression levels of solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) in colon tissues. Furthermore, the decreased activity of SOD, reduced level of GSH, and increased content of GSSG in UC mice were notably reversed by LZD. Consistent with in vivo results, LZD could markedly inhibit ferroptosis and OS in RSL3-induced Caco-2\u00a0cells. Mechanistically, LZD alleviated ferroptosis by suppressing OS through the activation of Nrf2 signaling. Collectively, LZD remarkably improved intestinal pathological injury in UC mice, and its potential mechanism was the suppression of ferroptosis in enterocytes by the Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway.",

Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) play a crucial role in modulating intestinal inflammation. Moreover, GELNs contain highly heterogeneous miRNA. However, the role of miRNAs derived from GELNs in immunomodulation remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular basis of the unique biological effects mediated by miRNA derived from GELNs on macrophages. GELNs were isolated using a combination of commercial exosome isolation kits and the differential centrifugation method, and the lipid composition of GELNs was determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Subsequently, PKH26 labelled GELNs were taken up by macrophages. Furthermore, the modulation of inflammatory and immune responses by GELNs or osa-miR164d was assessed through the RNA-seq, RT-qPCR, online databases, and dual luciferase reporter assays to explore the underlying mechanisms of osa-miR164d. Biomimetic exosomes loaded with osa-miR164d were prepared using a microfluidic mixing device and systematically characterized. The therapeutic effects of osa-miR164d on relieving colitis were evaluated. We report for the first time that GELNs-derived osa-miR164d is a regulatory factor of reprogramming macrophage polarization, thereby inhibiting the intestinal inflammatory response. Mechanistically, osa-miR164d directly targets the 3'-UTRs of TAB1, which regulates macrophage polarization through the downregulation of NF-\u03baB expression. In addition, We have designed a biomimetic exosome mimicking GELNs to deliver osa-miR164d (osa-miR164d-MGELNs). Notably, the osa-miR164d-MGELNs can efficiently reprogram macrophages to alleviate colitis-related symptoms.

This study highlights the use of plant-based ginger nanoparticles as an effective and promising strategy against cancer and for the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections and related disorders. Ginger is a well-known spice with significant medicinal value due to its phytochemical constituents including gingerols, shogaols, zingerones, and paradols. The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) derived from ginger extracts could be an important non-toxic and eco-friendly nanomaterial for widespread use in medicine. In this study, AgNPs were biosynthesized using an ethanolic extract of ginger rhizome and their phytochemical, antioxidant, antibacterial, and cytotoxic properties were evaluated. UV-visible spectral analysis confirmed the formation of spherical AgNPs. FTIR analysis revealed that the NPs were associated with various functional biomolecules that were associated with the NPs during stabilization. The particle size and SEM analyses revealed that the AgNPs were in the size range of 80-100 nm, with a polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.510, and a zeta potential of -17.1 mV. The purity and crystalline nature of the AgNPs were confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The simple and repeatable phyto-fabrication method reported here may be used for scaling up for large-scale production of ginger-derived NPs. A phytochemical analysis of the ginger extract revealed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, phenolics, tannins, saponins, and terpenoids, which can serve as active biocatalysts and natural stabilizers of metallic NPs. The ginger extracts at low concentrations demonstrated promising cytotoxicity against Vero cell lines with a 50% reduction in cell viability at 0.6-6 \u03bcg/mL. When evaluated for biological activity, the AgNPs exhibited significant antioxidant and antibacterial activity on several Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial species, including Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. This suggests that the AgNPs may be used against multi-drug-resistant bacteria.

However, their clinical application is limited due to the low yield and high consumption. This study aims to achieve large-scale production of sEVs using a three-dimensional (3D) bioreactor system. In addition, sEVs were developed to deliver Ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1), a compound derived from traditional Chinese medicine, Ginseng, that has cardioprotective properties but limited bioavailability, to enhance the treatment of DIC. The 3D bioreactor system with spinner flasks was used to expand human umbilical cord MSCs and collect MSC-conditioned medium. Subsequently, sEVs were isolated from the conditioned medium using differential ultra-centrifugation (dUC). The sEVs were loaded with Ginsenoside Rg1 by electroporation and evaluated for cardioprotective efficacy using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) analysis, Annexin V/PI staining and live cell count of H9c2 cells under DIC. Using the 3D bioreactor system with spinner flasks, the expansion of MSCs reached ~600 million, and the production of sEVs was up to 2.2 \u00d7 1012 particles in five days with significantly reduced bench work compared to traditional 2D flasks. With the optimized protocol, the Ginsenoside Rg1 loading efficiency of sEVs by electroporation was ~21%, higher than sonication or co-incubation.

American ginseng is well known as a traditional herb and is commonly used in clinical decoctions. However, the nano-characteristics and chemical composition of American-ginseng-derived vesicle-like nanoparticles (AGVNs) in decoctions are unclear. In this study, the gradient centrifugation method was used to extract and isolate AGVNs. A metabolomic method based on high-resolution mass spectrometry was established to analyze small molecules loaded in AGVNs. Zebrafish and RAW264.7 cells were employed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of AGVNs. The results showed that the particle size of AGVNs was generally 243.6 nm, and the zeta potential was -14.5 mV. AGVNs were found to contain 26 ginsenosides (14 protopanaxadiols, 11 protopanaxatriols, and 1 oleanolic acid). Ginsenoside Rb1 and malonyl-ginsenoside Rb1 tended to be enriched in AGVNs. Moreover, AGVNs were found to exert anti-inflammatory effects by reducing macrophage migration in zebrafish and regulating inflammatory factor (NO, TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, IL-10) secretion in RAW 264.7 cells.

Ginger-Derived Extracellular Vesicles (GDEVs) are nanoscale vesicles isolated from ginger. In this study, GDEVs were used to treat the alopecia mouse model, and its main active components and potential mechanism of action were investigated. The LC-MS/MS analysis of GDEVs revealed the presence of 1299 chemical compounds, among which auxiliary components were identified. Interestingly, the crux of the analysis lies in the discovery of 13 specific ingredients that play a pivotal role in hair proliferation. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of GDEVs on hair loss. These advantages make ginger-derived nanoparticles a promising solution to overcome technical limitations associated with mammalian nanoparticles. This study elucidates the mechanism of action of GDEVs in the treatment of alopecia. However, the active ingredients and mechanism of action of GDEVs in the treatment of hair loss are unknown. GDEVs were isolated from ginger using the differential centrifugal method. Network pharmacological analysis of the GDEVs revealed that the anti-hair loss effect of GDEVs on alopecia was closely linked to its ability to reduce inflammation and promote the proliferation of hair follicle stem cells. Subsequently, it was applied to the balding areas of hair-loss mice using a brush.

However, delivering siRNA with site-targeted stability and therapeutic efficacy is still challenging due to the complex and dynamic intestinal microenvironment. Here, based on the functional plant-derived ginger extracellular vesicles (EVs) and porous ZIF-8 nanoparticles, we propose a novel TNF-\u03b1 siRNA delivery strategy (EVs@ZIF-8@siRNA) for UC targeted therapy. Ginger EVs show strong colon and macrophage targeting, as well as robust resistance to acidic degradation in the stomach. Moreover, 6-shogaol in ginger-derived EVs displays anti-inflammatory effects, which enhance the treatment efficiency by cooperation with TNF-\u03b1 siRNA. In vitro experiments reveal that ZIF-8 nanoparticles have high TNF-\u03b1 siRNA loading capacity and promote siRNA escape from cellular lysosomes. In vivo experiments show that the TNF-\u03b1 level is reduced more significantly in colonic tissue than other nontargeted inflammation related factors, showing a good targeting of this composite nanoparticle. Furthermore, gut microbiota sequencing results demonstrate that the nanoparticles can promote intestinal barrier repair by regulating the intestinal microbial balance and restoring the intestinal health of UC mice. Therefore, the developed EVs@ZIF-8@siRNA nanoparticles may represent a novel colon-targeted oral drug, providing a promising therapeutic strategy for UC therapy.",

However, the inherent toxicity of metallic catalysts and numerous bacterial toxins during the therapeutic process still hinder its development. Herein, biomimetic metal-organic (MOF@EV) nanosponges composed of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), and electrodynamic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are developed for the eradication of bacterial infections and the absorption of toxins. The prolonged circulation time of MOF@EV in vivo facilitates their accumulation at infection sites. More interestingly, MOF@EV can behave as nanosponges and effectively prevent host cells from binding to bacterial toxins, thereby reducing damage to cells. Subsequently, the MOF@EV nanosponges are discovered to work as electro-sensitizers, which is confirmed through both theoretical calculation and experimental verification. As a result, ROS is continuously produced under the electric field to achieve effective EDT-mediated bacterial eradication. Meanwhile, the treatment process of MOF@EV in vivo is visualized in mice infected with luciferase-expressing Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and excellent biofilm eradication capacity and detoxification efficiency are demonstrated in a subcutaneous abscess model.

In this study, we have validated that oral commensal Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is highly responsible for chemoresistance and contributes to the poor therapeutic outcome of traditional chemotherapy. Accordingly, the biologically derived nanovesicles from ginger (GDNVs) with excellent P. gingivalis elimination ability are explored to transport the clinically used drug paclitaxel (PTX) for potentiating the therapeutic efficiency. Taking advantage of active targeting and inhibition abilities of GDNVs against P. gingivalis, the PTX-loaded GDNVs nanosystem (P-GDNVs) can enrich in the P. gingivalis-colonized tumor tissues and effectively inhibit the growth of P. gingivalis for downregulating the IL-6/pSTAT3/P-gp pathway, thereby reducing the efflux of intracellular drugs to overcome chemoresistance. By evaluating both P. gingivalis-infected tumor cells and P. gingivalis-infiltrated tumor-bearing mice, P-GDNVs show a much enhanced tumor cell killing effect, as compared with free PTX. This naturally occurring nanotherapeutic system represents an effective bioactive material for targeted elimination of host microbiota to boost therapeutic response, showing great promise to combat commensal microbiota-rich tumors.",

Conventional therapies are limited, and often lead to high recurrence rates. The emerging concept of medicinal food homology has shed light on the potential of ginger as a therapeutic adjuvant for periodontitis, given its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, fresh ginger exhibits poor stability and bioavailability. Ginger exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs), a derivative of ginger, have not been reported to exert therapeutic effects in periodontitis. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic effects of GELNs on tissue damage caused by periodontitis and their underlying mechanisms of action. The GELNs composition was analyzed using a widely targeted metabolome. Stability was assessed using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and zeta potential measurements, flavor was evaluated using an electronic nose, and membrane penetration was studied using confocal microscopy. A periodontitis model was established in SD rats, periodontal clinical indicators were monitored, and histological changes were assessed using H&E and TRAP staining. Co-culture experiments investigate the antioxidant and reparative abilities of GELNs on periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLFs) in inflammatory environment. NF-\u03baB protein expression was examined by immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry. The findings revealed that GELNs demonstrated good stability in different environments and mitigated the pungent taste of the raw ginger. In vivo experiments showed that GELNs improved periodontal clinical parameters and pathology compared with ginger juice. In vitro data suggested that GELNs enhanced the proliferation and migration of PDLFs while reducing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by inhibiting the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway in an inflammatory setting. This study is the first to demonstrate that GELNs have a potential therapeutic effect on periodontitis. GELNs can alleviate oxidative stress (OS) and inflammatory reactions by inhibiting the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. These findings provide a promising method for the treatment of periodontitis by regulating an unbalanced OS state.",

Ginseng exosomes (G-Exo), which are active ingredients in ginseng, exhibit excellent biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. Here, G-Exo were isolated from ginseng roots through a combination of ultracentrifugation and sucrose gradient centrifugation techniques. Subsequently, the potential protective effect of G-Exo on CDDP induced cardiotoxicity, and its underlying mechanisms were explored. The findings demonstrated that G-Exo effectively mitigated CDDP-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in vitro. Moreover, in vivo experiments revealed that G-Exo significantly inhibited the increases in serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT), creatine kinase (CK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in mice induced by CDDP. Histological assessment and tissue staining further corroborated that G-Exo alleviated the cardiac tissue damage and apoptosis caused by CDDP. Mechanistically, G-Exo were found to alleviate CDDP-induced apoptosis through blocking the MAPK signaling.

Despite the availability of conventional treatments, they are often marred by significant side effects and the associated high costs. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) offer a compelling alternative, owing to their abundant availability, affordability, low immunogenicity, high biocompatibility, and feasibility for large-scale production.

However, it has several disadvantages such as poor stability in aqueous solutions, easy aggregation of molecules, and short plasma half-life. This study aimed to develop an efficient nanoplatform to enhance the effects of photo-mediated therapy. We developed a novel bio-nanoplatform by integrating edible ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDNPs) and the photosensitizer, ICG (GDNPs@ICG). GDNPs were isolated from ginger juice and loaded with ICG by co-incubation. The size distribution, zeta potential, morphology, total lipid content, and drug release behavior of the GDNPs@ICG were characterized. The photothermal performance, cellular uptake and distribution, cytotoxicity, anti-tumor effects, and mechanism of action of GDNPs@ICG were investigated both in vitro and in vivo. GDNPs@ICG were taken up by tumor cells via a lipid-dependent pathway. When irradiated by an 808 nm NIR laser, GDNPs@ICG generated high levels of ROS, MDA, and local hyperthermia within the tumor, which caused lipid peroxidation and ER stress, thus enhancing the photo-mediated breast tumor therapy effect. Furthermore, in vivo studies demonstrated that engineered GDNPs@ICG significantly inhibited breast tumor growth and presented limited toxicity. Moreover, by detecting the expression of CD31, N-cadherin, IL-6, IFN-\u03b3, CD8, p16, p21, and p53 in tumor tissues, we found that GDNPs@ICG substantially reduced angiogenesis, inhibited metastasis, activated the anti-tumor immune response, and promoted cell senescence in breast tumor.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) presents unique challenges owing to its aggressiveness and limited treatment options. Paclitaxel-based chemotherapy is widely used in breast cancer treatment. However, its efficacy is often limited by toxicity, multidrug resistance, and lack of targeted delivery. In response to these challenges, recent studies have focused on the use of extracellular vesicles (EVs), particularly plant-derived EVs, as innovative drug delivery systems capable of enhancing therapeutic outcomes and reducing adverse effects. Plant-derived EVs offer significant advantages owing to their biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and scalability. They provide a natural platform for delivering chemotherapeutics such as paclitaxel and doxorubicin directly to tumor cells. This review explores the therapeutic potential of plant-derived EVs in breast cancer treatment, focusing on TNBC by examining their ability to improve drug stability, bioavailability, and selective targeting of cancer cells. Key studies on EVs derived from plants such as grapefruit, ginger, and tea leaves have demonstrated their capacity to deliver chemotherapeutic agents effectively while mitigating common side effects associated with conventional delivery methods. Although the use of plantderived EVs is still in early stages of research, findings suggest that that these nanocarriers can serve as transformative tools in oncology, providing a versatile and efficient platform for precise cancer treatment.

It remained unknown and needs to be further verified that whether the vesicles has therapeutic potential to alleviate the progression of liver fibrosis. Moreover, the relevant mechanisms need to be further studied. Herein, we provide evidence that Gin-EVs effectively interact with human hepatic stellate cells (LX-2), offering protection against carbon tetrachloride (CCL4) or lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced liver fibrosis. The treatment with Gin-EVs was observed to mitigate fibrosis and enhance cell viability in LX-2 cells exposed to CCL4 or LPS. Mechanistically, Gin-EVs counteracted mitochondrial dysfunction by restoring mitochondrial dynamics imbalance characterized by enhanced fusion and reduced fission events while promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, thereby potentially preventing fibrotic processes in LX-2 cells. Collectively, the findings highlight the direct cytoprotective effects of Gin-EVs on LX-2 cells and suggest their promising role as a therapeutic option for hepatic fibrosis.",

However, concerns exist regarding potential toxicity and cost-effectiveness, limiting their clinical applications. In contrast, plant-derived exosomes (PDEs), as natural nanovesicles, offer significant advantages as drug delivery carriers due to their large-scale production, biocompatibility, and ability to efficiently transport therapeutic drug across cellular barriers. In this work, we established a ginseng-derived exosome (G-Exo)-based CDDP delivery system (G-CDDP) and evaluated its anti-tumor efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. The results demonstrated that G-CDDP effectively targeted tumor site, inhibiting the proliferation and migration and promoting apoptosis in U-87MG tumor cells. Notably, the amount of CDDP in G-CDDP required for achieving the same cytotoxic effect on tumor cells was 12.66 times lower than that of free CDDP. In U-87MG tumor-bearing mice, G-CDDP effectively targeted tumor sites and exhibited significant therapeutic effect. Collectively, these findings highlight the potent anti-tumor activity of G-CDDP at reduced CDDP dosage, positioning it as a promising and efficient alternative to conventional drug treatments in clinical settings.",

However, maintaining the retention and stability of exosomes in vivo is a major challenge in clinical application of GENs. Here, we prepared hydrogels using modified hyaluronic acid (HA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS). We investigated whether the combination of GENs with hydrogels could improve the stability of GENs and enhance their retention in tumor tissues, thereby enhancing their tumor therapeutic effect. In vitro experiments showed that hydrogels significantly increased the uptake of GENs by cells and increased tumor apoptosis rate. In vivo experiments showed that hydrogels significantly increased the retention of GENs in tumor tissues and improved the antitumor ability of GENs. Meanwhile, we evaluated the anti-tumor mechanism of GENs. The results showed that GENs and GENs@Hydrogels induced 4T1 cell apoptosis through the PTEN/PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway and caspase-dependent pathway. In addition, GENs and GENs@Hydrogels down-regulate PD-L1 level in tumor tissues, up-regulate MHC-I level, and increase the abundance of CD8+T cells, which have immune regulation ability.

This study investigates the therapeutic efficacy of a chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol nanomembrane (OXY-NMAloe) plant-derived extracellular vesicles enriched with extracellular vesicles derived from Aloe barbadensis, Azadirachta indica, and Zingiber officinale. Chitosan, a natural biological macromolecule, forms the nanomembrane's matrix, contributing to its flexibility, porosity, and structural integrity, essential for maintaining optimal wound hydration and supporting tissue regeneration. In in vivo studies on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, OXY-NMAloe significantly accelerated wound closure by approximately 23\u00a0% compared to just 7\u00a0% in the control-treated group, even after one day. This effect was achieved by modulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, activating collagen synthesis, and restoring mitochondrial function. The membrane also inhibited matrix metalloproteinase overexpression, reducing excessive extracellular matrix degradation by ~40\u00a0% and promoting tissue regeneration. Furthermore, OXY-NMAloe demonstrated potent antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, decreasing microbial colonization and fostering a favorable healing environment.

However, concerns regarding the biosafety of animal-derived EXOs pose significant challenges to the development of innovative formulations. In this study, we propose a universal strategy to engineer plant-derived EXOs as microenvironment nanoregulators for targeted ovarian cancer therapy. EXOs derived from ginger were purified, loaded with the natural bioactive compound curcumin (Cur) with high encapsulation efficiency, and functionalized with a tumor-targeting aptamer. Upon intravenous administration, the resulting multifaceted microenvironment nanoregulator, termed AGE@Cur, effectively accumulates at the tumor site and exerts a tumor-suppressive effect through remodeling the tumor microenvironment. This novel therapeutic platform not only addresses the limitations of animal-derived EXOs but also paves the way for the development of innovative microenvironment regulators in clinical applications.",

Subsequently, the in vitro digestion characteristics and antioxidant activity of GP-SeNPs were investigated. The characterization results revealed that GP-SeNPs exhibited a novel absorption peak at approximately 270\u2009nm in the UW-visible spectrum; moreover, distinct absorption peaks were observed at 827.43 and 2360.79\u2009cm-1 in the Fourier transform infrared spectrum, whereas a broad diffraction peak appeared between 25\u00b0 and 30\u00b0 in the X-ray diffraction pattern; scanning electron microscopy further demonstrated that GP-SeNPs formed particle-like surface structures. These findings collectively indicated successful preparation of GP-SeNPs. The average particle size of the GP-SeNPs system was smaller, and the absolute value of Zeta potential was greater, indicating enhanced stability in the GP-SeNPs system. After undergoing in vitro digestion simulation by the saliva and gastric juice, GP-SeNPs exhibited structural stability; however, upon exposure to in vitro digestion simulation by the intestine, GP underwent degradation, rupture or conformational changes, resulting in the disruption of nanoparticle structure and loss of nanoscale properties. After intestinal digestion, the selenium release rate of GP-SeNPs increased rapidly. The highest scavenging ability of GP-SeNPs on \u00b7ABTS+, \u00b7DPPH and \u00b7OH free radicals were 99.25%, 70.23% and 66.68%, respectively, significantly higher than GP.

Plant-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have emerged as promising therapeutic agents due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. This study conducted a network meta-analysis to identify the most effective plant-derived sEVs for reducing sepsis-induced inflammation and oxidative stress. The analysis included 13 studies evaluating 10 plant-derived sEVs in sepsis-mimicking conditions, with primary outcomes focused on cytokine levels and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in vitro and in vivo. Secondary outcomes included nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression and cell viability. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251011005). Ginger-derived sEVs were identified as the most effective, significantly reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), increasing the anti-inflammatory cytokine (interleukin-10), and suppressing ROS production. They also enhanced Nrf2 expression and improved cell viability, highlighting their role in antioxidant defense and cytoprotection.

This review provides a comparative analysis of mammalian-derived exosomes, particularly milk-derived exosomes, and plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PDENs). It explores their biogenesis, bioactivities, and functional similarities, including their roles in cellular communication, immune modulation, and disease therapy. While milk-derived exosomes exhibit promising biocompatibility and stability for targeted delivery, PDENs offer distinct advantages, such as scalability and inherent bioactivities, derived from their plant sources. Despite similarities in their structure and cargo, PDENs differ in lipid composition and protein profiles, reflecting plant-specific functions. Emerging research highlights the therapeutic potential of PDENs in managing inflammation, oxidative stress, and other diseases, emphasizing their utility as functional food components and nanocarriers.

Effective antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory therapies are essential to facilitate wound recovery. Herein, we introduce a highly biocompatible, ROS-responsive DNA hydrogel (LGAH), modified with aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgen) and incorporating ginseng-derived exosomes (G-Exos) and nitric oxide (NO) donor-L-arginine (L-Arg) to promote healing of infected wounds. The hydrogel degrades in response to elevated ROS levels, releasing therapeutic agents. Upon laser irradiation, AIEgen generates 1O2, which activates L-Arg to produce NO, leading to a synergistic antimicrobial effect. NO is particularly effective at inhibiting bacterial growth and promoting angiogenesis, supporting wound healing. G-Exos modulate immune responses, reduce inflammation, and promote the transition from the inflammatory to the proliferative phase. They also enhance cell proliferation, migration, and collagen production, which are key to tissue regeneration. In vivo experiments demonstrated that LGAH significantly accelerates S. aureus-infected wound healing by modulating the wound microenvironment and promoting tissue regeneration. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that LGAH down-regulates gene expression in inflammation and immune response signaling pathways while up-regulating genes related to energy metabolism. Biosafety evaluations at cellular and animal levels have demonstrated that LGAH possesses excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, making it ideal for tissue repair and regeneration.

However, the clinical application of mammalian-derived exosomes is hindered by mass production challenges and strict regulations. Plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs) are a more economical alternative possessing a similar therapeutic potential. Ginger is a readily available plant with components that are clinically proven to inhibit inflammation. Therefore, it is interesting to investigate the potential of red ginger and emprit ginger, cultivated varieties in Indonesia possessing the most potent anti-inflammatory activities, as a PELN source for anti-inflammatory therapy. In this work, PELNs from the rhizomes of red ginger (RG-ELN) and emprit ginger (EG-ELN) were obtained through differential centrifugation and polymer precipitation using PEG6000. The PELNs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and bicinchoninic acid assay. Their internalization and effect on RAW 246.7 cell viability were also assessed. The anti-inflammatory potential of PELNs was investigated by assessing interleukin 6 (IL-6) expression of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages treated with RG-ELN and EG-ELN. Both RG-ELN and EG-ELN exhibited cup-shaped morphologies with average sizes of 195.83\u00b11.35 and 194.40\u00b18.40 nm, respectively. Both PELNs can be internalized within 2 h and did not significantly affect RAW 264.7 cell viability after 24 h. The reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results indicated a significantly lower expression and secretion of IL-6 in the macrophage cells pre-treated with RG-ELN and EG-ELN. The RG-ELN and EG-ELN samples were successfully obtained through the polymer precipitation method, as confirmed by the TEM and DLS results which aligned with typical PELN characteristics.

As an innovative form of herbal medicine, plant-derived exosomes (PDEs) exhibit their therapeutic potential from a unique phospholipid bilayer structure, which encapsulates bioactive molecules including proteins, lipids, RNAs, and metabolites. This study aims to elucidate the components, bioavailability, drug delivery, and stability of PDEs by reviewing the keywords including exosome, nanoparticle, and vesicle regarding plants and herbs in the databases (e.g., PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar), specially focusing on the high-frequency medicinal species (e.g., Ginseng, Ginger, Pueraria root, Turmeric, and Wolfberry). Unlike conventional extracts of herbal medicine, which lose critical compounds during drying or alcohol-based processing, PDEs derived from fresh plant tissues preserve native phytochemical integrity and enhance bioactivity. Advanced extraction techniques and cargo-loading strategies further amplify their therapeutic potential, enabling precise modulation of pathways such as macrophage polarization and immune checkpoint. Despite these advantages, hurdles in standardizing isolation protocols, ensuring storage stability, and validating clinical efficacy remain key obstacles to widespread adoption. The natural surface proteins of PDEs, which facilitate receptor-specific targeting without synthetic modification, exemplify their ability to bridge the synergy of herbal medicine with precision medicine. These advances position PDEs as transformative agents of herbal medicine in chronic disease management, offering a paradigm shift toward stable, targeted, and efficacious phytotherapy.",

Lack of keratinocyte migration over the wound bed is a causal factor for non-healing wounds. Topical therapeutics with pro-migratory growth factors faces limited success due to the protease rich wound milieu. Plant-derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) are exosome-mimetic vesicles isolated from edible plants with bioavailable presence of several key plant bioactives with therapeutic value. Herein, using in vitro scratch wound model to mimic keratinocyte migration, we screened a panel of seven PDNVs from Zingiberaceae and Citrus plants and found Mango ginger-derived PDNVs (MGDNV) to promote wound healing in vitro. In streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice model, topical application of MGDNVs, formulated as hydrogel, rescued delayed wound healing caused by diabetes. Mechanistically, MGDNVs promote keratinocyte migration via induction of follistatin-like 1 (FSTL1) protein both in vitro and in vivo. FSTL1 is a key pro-migratory factor expressed in healing wounds, and failure to induce FSTL1 in keratinocytes leads to lack of cell migration in diabetic wounds. Considering MGDNVs also displayed percutaneous penetration in porcine skin, which is similar to human skin, and exhibited immunomodulatory properties, MGDNVs could be natural and cost-effective topical alternative to conventional biological agents for the treatment of chronic wounds.",

However, the investigation on ginseng-derived exosomes is still in the initial stage. This study developed a photonic crystal-based Bragg scattering coupling electrochemiluminescence (BSC-ECL) biosensor for detection of miRNA396a-3p in exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs) and ginseng exosomes (Gexos). First, copper nanoclusters were engineered into Cu superparticles with \u03c0-\u03c0 stacking of 2,6-dimethylbenzenethiol ligands via a ligand-mediated self-assembly strategy. The prepared Cu superparticles with significantly enhanced luminescence intensity and stability can be used as a nanoprobe. Furthermore, the Bragg scattering law was utilized to modulate the ECL intensity of the Cu superparticles. Due to the highly periodic structure of MIL-96-based photonic crystals, multiple scattering pathways in photonic crystals greatly increased the effective photon flux of Cu superparticles, thus creating a positive feedback loop between photon absorption and emission. Therefore, this cascade amplification mechanism ultimately led to significant BSC-ECL enhancement. The BSC-ECL provided a new quantitative analysis method for key miRNA detection in plant extracellular vesicles, which revealed distinct miRNA concentrations in GENs and Gexos. The method also demonstrated considerable potential in areas such as ginseng quality control, product development, and bioanalysis applications.",

Herein, ginger-derived exosomes (G-Exos) loaded with berberine (G-Exos@B) to facilitate targeted delivery to the liver through the formation of GR-Exos@B via the coalescence of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)-introduced liposomes (RAL) for effective NASH intervention are developed. The introduction of G-Exos significantly equipped GR-Exos@B to effectively overcome the multi-intestinal barrier, facilitating their exit from the cell in an intact form. Interestingly, the hepatic-targeting of RAL allowed GR-Exos to penetrate the liver more effectively than G-Exos, resulting in 2.39-fold greater accumulation in the liver. In vivo experiments revealed that dual ROS depletion by berberine and GR-Exos synergistically enhanced the therapeutic effect against inhibited oxidative stress and hepatocellular steatosis compared to GR-Exos. Additionally, the macrophage-targeting capability of G-Exos is leveraged to suppress the activation of hepatic NLRP3 inflammasome complexes, transitioning from an M1 pro-inflammatory to an M2 anti-inflammatory state, which helped diminish hepatic macrophage levels and subsequently reduce lipid accumulation. Meanwhile, GR-Exos@B improved insulin sensitivity primarily by strengthening the AMPK/AKT/IRS-1 signaling pathway and inhibiting GSK3-\u03b2 function. Hence, GR-Exos@B shows promise as a potential strategy for alleviating obesity-induced NASH therapy.",

(MCG) residues represent an underutilized resource with significant therapeutic potential. We previously isolated a potent glycopeptide, APMCG-1, from MCG residues using alkaline protease-assisted extraction. This study comprehensively investigates the protective effects of APMCG-1 against diabetic myopathy in vitro (C2C12), in vivo (zebrafish), and mammalian (mouse) models. In palmitic acid (PA)-induced C2C12 myoblasts, the effects of APMCG-1 on cell viability, creatine kinase release, and glucose consumption were evaluated. Mechanistic studies assessed mitochondrial function, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, and activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway. In type 2 diabetic (T2DM) zebrafish, skeletal muscle performance (swimming endurance), blood biochemical indices, antioxidant enzyme activities, inflammatory cytokines, and metabolomic profiles were examined. In T2DM mice, glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, glucolipid metabolism, muscle glycogen content, histopathology, and activation of the PI3K/AKT/GLUT4 pathway were assessed. In palmitic acid (PA)-induced C2C12 skeletal myoblasts, APMCG-1 significantly increased cell viability, reduced creatine kinase levels, and enhanced glucose consumption in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Mechanistically, APMCG-1 activated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, while attenuating mitochondrial dysfunction, reducing apoptosis, and restoring mitochondrial membrane potential. In T2DM zebrafish models, APMCG-1 treatment markedly improved skeletal muscle function, evidenced by enhanced swimming endurance. It significantly reduced fasting blood glucose, insulin, triglycerides, total cholesterol, free fatty acids, malondialdehyde, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-6 levels, while increasing muscle glycogen, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase activities. Metabolomic analysis further revealed that APMCG-1 modulated glucolipid metabolic disorders by regulating key pathways, including cysteine and methionine metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, and steroid hormone biosynthesis. Critically, in T2DM mice, APMCG-1 improved glucose tolerance, enhanced insulin sensitivity, reduced hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia, restored insulin-stimulated skeletal muscle glucose uptake. Moreover, it increased muscle glycogen content and attenuated histopathological muscle damage. These protective effects were mechanistically linked to the activation of the PI3K/AKT/GLUT4 pathway in skeletal muscle. Our findings demonstrate that APMCG-1, derived from MCG residues, is a promising therapeutic candidate for preventing and treating diabetic myopathy by enhancing insulin sensitivity and reducing oxidative stress.",

This study presents a novel approach: integrating atorvastatin (ATOR)-loaded, ginger-derived exosomes (G-EX) into contact lenses to achieve sustained release and enhanced ocular penetration. Exosomes were isolated from ginger using polymer precipitation, characterised (average size \u2248 50.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04.3\u00a0nm; zeta potential\u00a0=\u00a0-23.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.2\u00a0mV), and efficiently loaded with ATOR (70\u00a0%). The ATOR@G-EX formulation was incorporated into contact lenses. Scanning electron and fluorescence microscopy confirmed uniform loading without altering lens structure. The lenses retained key properties, including high optical transmittance (96\u00a0%) and folding endurance (320 folds), supporting functional integrity and biocompatibility. In vitro assays showed controlled ATOR release (67\u00a0% in 2\u00a0h, gradual up to 48\u00a0h), following the Korsmeyer-Peppas model. Ex vivo, ATOR@G-EX lens markedly enhanced transcorneal permeation versus ATOR lens. In vitro cellular studies revealed higher fibroblast viability, faster migration, and 3-4-fold uptake improvement. HET-CAM confirmed minimal ocular irritation. In vivo, ATOR@G-EX lens produced the most pronounced and sustained IOP reduction in the steroid-induced glaucoma rabbit model, with a strong in vitro-in vivo correlation between permeation and efficacy.

Omega-3 fatty acids, berberine, garlic, and nattokinase exert favorable metabolic and vascular effects, yet their clinical efficacy depends on formulation, dosage, and patient characteristics and may be limited by bleeding risk or drug interactions. Antioxidant agents such as vitamin C, vitamin E, resveratrol, astaxanthin, and coenzyme Q provide additional vascular protection but can interfere with hemostasis, metabolism, or redox-sensitive pathways. Similarly, ginkgo biloba, ginger, ginseng, and curcumin exhibit anti-inflammatory vascular activity but also increase the risk of bleeding when combined with antithrombotic therapy. Given the variability in evidence and product quality, their use should be individualized, with further large-scale clinical trials needed to establish safety and efficacy.",

Diabetic ulcers, characterized by impaired angiogenesis, persistent inflammation, and hyperglycemia, require dual modulation of inflammatory (NF-\u03baB) and pro-repair (PI3K/Akt, Nrf2) pathways. Radiation ulcers involve DNA damage, NLRP3-driven inflammation, and TGF-\u03b2/Smad-mediated fibrosis, while burns trigger acute inflammation via DAMPs/PAMPs-TLR/NLR activation. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and its bioactive components, such as\u00a0Scutellaria baicalensis, curcumin, and\u00a0Panax notoginseng, exhibit multi-target therapeutic effects by regulating oxidative stress, inflammation, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix remodeling through key pathways, including Nrf2/ARE, MAPK, NF-\u03baB, PI3K/Akt, HIF-1\u03b1/VEGF, Wnt/\u03b2-catenin, and TGF-\u03b2/Smad. Emerging supramolecular self-assembled biomaterials-nanofibrous scaffolds, hydrogels, and microneedles-address the hydrophobicity and low bioavailability of natural plant-derived macromolecules (NPHMs), enabling spatiotemporally controlled drug delivery. Innovative formulations, such as curcumin-loaded hydrogels and exosome-based systems, enhance antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic activities, accelerating wound closure. Despite progress, challenges remain in optimizing multifunctional co-assembly systems, elucidating NPHM self-assembly mechanisms, and developing smart biomaterials responsive to dynamic wound microenvironments. Future research should focus on clinical translation by improving material stability, refining stimulus-responsive release systems, and integrating interdisciplinary insights from herbal medicine, nanotechnology, and regenerative biology. This review systematically summarizes the mechanistic roles of TCM in wound healing, highlights advancements in bioactive material design, and outlines future directions to bridge traditional knowledge with modern therapeutic innovations, offering a scientific foundation for advancing chronic wound management.",
        "41177462": "ID: 41177462\nTitle: Nasal-to-brain siRNA delivery based on trace amine associated receptor for improving cognitive function.\nAbstract: Gene-based therapies for central nervous system (CNS) disorders face substantial challenges in overcoming the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to effectively target brain tissues. The nasal-to-brain delivery route has gained increasing attention as it bypasses the BBB, facilitating faster drug delivery to the lesion site while minimizing systemic side effects. Here, we developed a nasal-to-brain delivery system to administer small interfering RNA (siRNA) for the treatment of radiation-induced brain injury (RBI). RNA sequencing revealed that the p53 signaling pathway was predominantly enriched in the hippocampus, with significant upregulation of Alox12B expression in RBI mice. To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles, termed S-GEVs@siRNA. These nanoparticles leveraged the targeting capabilities of spermidine for olfactory receptor-trace amine associated receptor (TAAR), enhancing siRNA delivery and therapeutic efficacy. After intranasal administration, the nanoparticles were efficiently internalized by olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) via the olfactory nerve pathway. The nanoparticles then escaped lysosomes, releasing siRNA into the cytoplasm, leading to gene downregulation and therapeutic benefits. Our results demonstrated that the designed nanoparticles were absorbed by the ORNs labeled with the Olfactory Marker Protein (OMP) and TAAR5 and successfully entered the olfactory bulb and the brain. Treatment with these nanoparticles significantly reduced p53-mediated neuronal ferroptosis and improved synaptic function both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, S-GEVs@siRNA nanoparticles rapidly reached the olfactory bulb through TAAR-mediated endocytosis, entered hippocampal neurons, downregulated Alox12B expression, exerted neuroprotective effects, and alleviated RBI-induced cognitive dysfunction. The designed nasal-to-brain delivery system holds great promise for treating various CNS diseases.",

Among them, Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) represent the most extensively studied category, demonstrating a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities. However, their specific efficacy against lung cancer remains largely unexplored and warrants further investigation. The appropriate isolation of GELNs is fundamental to all related research, yet a systematic comparison of different extraction methods is currently lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the differences among GELNs extracted by various methods and to investigate their anti-lung cancer pharmacological activities. The study employed four common isolation methods-ultracentrifugation (UC), sucrose gradient UC (sgUC), membrane filtration, and polyethylene glycol-based precipitation (PEG-based precipitation) - to isolate GELNs. The GELNs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and zeta potential measurements. Stability was evaluated under various conditions, including saline, serum, and different storage temperatures. The compositional profiles of GELNs extracted by four methods were explored using non-targeted metabolomics. A549 cells and PC-9 cells were used to assess the cellular uptake and anti-lung cancer efficacy of the four GELNs types. Network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations were integrated to elucidate the potential mechanisms underlying their anti-lung cancer effects. The four methods successfully isolated GELNs with distinct profiles: UC achieved the highest protein yield (1.630 \u00b1 0.022 g/kg), membrane filtration yielded the highest particle concentration (46.9 \u00b1 6.71\u00d7108 particles/mL) but the lowest protein yield (0.059 \u00b1 0.002 g/kg). Stability studies indicated that the highest stability of GELNs was observed for those isolated by UC and sgUC in both 0.9% and 10% NaCl. Furthermore, GELNs prepared by UC and membrane filtration showed excellent stability in serum. It was also demonstrated that -80\u00b0C provided the optimal storage condition for GELNs. Non-targeted metabolomics revealed the presence of 649 shared metabolites among the GELNs extracted by the four methods, along with method-specific unique metabolites. GELNs extracted by all four methods were internalized by both A549 and PC-9 cells. Among them, UC-isolated GELNs demonstrated the most potent anti-proliferative activity against the lung cancer cells. Through network pharmacology, 21 key targets of UC-isolated GELNs against lung cancer were identified. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations further verified that 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione from GELNs could stably bind to key targets, including Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3\u03b2 (GSK3B), Progesterone Receptor (PGR), and SRC Proto-Oncogene, Non-Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (SRC). This study demonstrates that although all four methods can isolate GELNs, UC is recommended for fundamental research due to its high protein yield, excellent stability, and potent in vitro anti-lung cancer activity. Furthermore, the anti-lung cancer activity of GELNs may be attributed to the regulation of GSK3B, PGR, and SRC by 10-Gingerol, Hexahydrocurcumin, and [6]-Dehydrogingerdione.",

The current therapies for RCC are limited by drug resistance and toxic side effects. This study introduces an innovative approach that combines ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) with sunitinib (Su) and folic acid-polyethylene glycol (FA-PEG, FPD) in an active-passive targeting strategy to explore its multi-mechanism and synergistic therapeutic effects on RCC. GELNs are extracted via differential centrifugation combined with sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation. Metabolomics and network pharmacology predicted that GELNs may exert their anticancer efficacy via the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, which is subsequently validated through in vitro experiments. By loading Su and modifying it with FPD, FPD-GELNs/Su is constructed. The FPD modification significantly enhanced tumor targeting and amplified the Su sensitivity by reducing ABCB1/P-gp expression induced by GELNs. In vivo experiments revealed that FPD-GELNs/Su promoted M1 macrophage polarization and increased immune T-cell infiltration by remodeling the tumor microenvironment, leading to significant inhibition of tumor growth and lung metastasis without causing notable liver or kidney toxicity. This study integrates network pharmacology with targeted delivery strategies, elucidating the mechanisms by which FPD-GELNs/Su inhibits RCC progression through multiple pathways, providing new insights for the development of precise and low-toxicity nano-therapies.",

Owing to their high yield, easy accessibility and cost-effectiveness, plant-derived extracellular vehicles (EVs) have become attractive platforms for biomedical uses. Our study shows that fully natural ginger-derived exosomes (GEXO) effectively inhibited GBM progression through dual mechanisms: (a) direct activation of apoptotic pathways in GBM cells, and (b) induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) that transforms dead tumor cells into endogenous vaccines. Mechanistically, GEXO demonstrated superior blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration through clathrin-, caveolin- and macropinocytosis-mediated transcytosis, followed by tumor-specific accumulation via exocytosis. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that GEXO promoted an immunogenic shift in dying GBM cells, enhancing dendritic cell maturation and cytotoxic T-cell responses.

In this study, we evaluated the effects of Lacticaseibacillus casei KGC1201, a strain isolated from Panax ginseng, on a mouse model of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. L. casei KGC1201 culture powder at doses of 206 and 412\u00a0mg/kg was administered orally once daily, one week before DSS administration until sacrifice. A 2% DSS solution was provided ad libitum in drinking water for 7 days, and the mice were sacrificed 3 days after DSS withdrawal. Body weight changes, stool condition, colon length, and the histopathology of the colon tissue were assessed. Additionally, fecal samples were analyzed by 16\u00a0S rRNA sequencing to evaluate the gut microbiota composition. Administration of L. casei KGC1201 alleviated colitis symptoms such as weight loss, diarrhea, and decreased colon length. It also modulated the gut microbiota composition and beneficial functional metabolic pathways, including promoting the growth of beneficial gut microbiota.

Although a variety of drugs have been approved for the clinical treatment of UC, their application is often limited by unsatisfactory long-term effects, side effects, and high treatment costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of effective drugs with fewer side effects. In this study, we found that the extracellular vesicles extracted and purified from rhizomes of Kaempferia galanga L. (KGEVs) exhibit promising therapeutic effects in treating UC disease. With an average diameter of 133.8\u00a0nm, KGEVs are rich in functional components, including lipids, proteins, and pharmacologically and immunologically active molecules. In vivo experiments revealed that KGEVs accumulated in the colorectal region 6\u00a0h after oral administration, demonstrating targeted enrichment at the site of enteritis. Moreover, we found that KGEVs effectively alleviate DSS-induced colitis in mice, as indicated by reductions in body weight loss, DAI score, spleen index and colon length shortening. Mechanistically, KGEVs may alleviate colitis by repairing the intestinal barrier, inhibiting oxidative stress and colonic inflammation regulating gut microbiota and inhibiting the polarisation of macrophages into pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages during the inflammatory response, indicating significant anti-inflammatory effects. These results suggest the potential of KGEVs as a promising, cost-effective, and efficient oral therapeutic agents for UC treatment.",

Traditional treatment methods have limited effects, including being eliminated in the moist and dynamic environment of the mouth, and are prone to various side effects or the development of drug resistance. In this study, we designed borate ester-based and Schiff base-cross-linked hydrogel (OPEC), and loaded ginseng-derived exosome (GEX@OPEC) for the treatment of OU. OPEC hydrogel is composed of phenylboronic acid-functionalized hyaluronic acid oxide (OHA-PBA), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS).

Despite the development of extracellular vesicles (EVs) for drug delivery, there has been limited exploration into edible-product-derived EVs (EP-EVs), particularly those derived from plants as carriers to enhance the oral delivery of biomacromolecules. Here, we evaluated the potential of EP-EVs and highlighted their promising application and underlying mechanisms as orally delivered carriers from plant-derived EVs. Grape-derived EVs (Gra-EVs) were found to have superior efficacy in oral delivery of insulin to T1D rats compared to ginger-derived EVs (Gin-EVs) and milk-derived EVs (Mi-EVs), attributed to their enhanced endocytosis, secretion pathways, and more efficient transcytosis across epithelia. The capacity of Gra-EVs to regulate epithelial proteins associated with cytoskeletal organization, secretion, and recycling-related transport facilitated a robust positive feedback loop known as the self-amplifying feedback loop, thereby enhancing intestinal absorption. Notably, phosphatidic acid (PA), the phospholipid abundant in plant-derived EVs, was proved to augment the transcytosis through MAPK/ERK1/2 signaling pathway activation. Thus, edible plant-derived EVs, especially Gra-EVs, exploited the self-amplifying feedback loop and phosphatidic acid for improved oral delivery of biomacromolecules.",

Currently, PEVs are obtained primarily from fresh and dried materials through soaking and extraction; however, little is known about the differences in their contents. Using Portulaca oleracea L. as the research object, this study firstly employed a method that combined differential and ultracentrifugation with membrane filtration to separate and purify exosome-like nanoparticles from dried material (D-PELNs) and fresh material (F-PELNs). Then, multi-omics analysis compared the small-molecule metabolites, lipid profiles, and protein expression patterns. Both D-PELNs and F-PELNs showed typical cup-shaped morphology, with mean particle sizes of 139 nm and 186 nm, and mean zeta potentials of -16.015 \u00b1 0.335 mV and -6.29 \u00b1 0.19 mV, respectively. Both types contained diverse small-molecule metabolites. Among them, terpenoids (e.g., caesaldekarin e) were more abundant in F-PELNs, whereas carboxylic acids and their derivatives (e.g., citric acid) were predominantly found in D-PELNs. Both types had abundant lipids. D-PELNs exhibited greater lipid diversity than F-PELNs, with notable enrichment in phosphatidylcholine (18.48%) and ceramide (17.02%). F-PELNs mainly consisted of functional neutral lipids, such as monoglycerides and triglycerides. Proteins involved in plant morphogenesis and secondary-metabolite biosynthesis were also identified. Proteins from both Portulaca oleracea L.-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs) were localized to intracellular structures, including the cytoplasm and mitochondria of the cells. D-PELNs had a higher protein content related to carbon metabolism, whereas F-PELNs were more enriched in proteins related to secondary metabolite synthesis. In summary, D-PELNs and F-PELNs were successfully isolated and characterized, and their compositions were analyzed and compared using multi-omics approaches. These findings identify the specific chemical components of PELNs and offer new insights for comparing the compositional differences between exosome-like nanoparticles derived from dried and fresh plant states.",

Moreover, the discovery of novel drugs for glioblastoma has been limited hence drug repurposing has gained traction leveraging existing drugs like itraconazole. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have potential as a natural pharmaceutical delivery system owing to their therapeutic capabilities. These PDEVs may be a good candidate for blood-brain barrier permeation due to their biomolecular composition and high drug loading efficiency of itraconazole. In this work, PDEVs isolated from aloe aborescens (aloe), Zingiber officinale (ginger) and Nigella sativa seeds [black cumin seeds (BCS)] were compared in terms of their physicochemical properties, drug release kinetics, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake in glioblastoma cells and BBB permeability. Results All PDEVs displayed nanoscale sizes ranging from 103.5 to 141\u00a0nm with negative surface charge and a spherical morphological shape observed via SEM. The drug release kinetics was assessed using different mathematical models depicting the PDEVs prolonged drug release with <\u200950% releasing over 21 days. The cytotoxicity studies showed that the PDEVs resulted in a higher cell viability in the non-cancerous cell line compared to A172 glioblastoma cell line. The cellular internalization of the drug showed poor uptake of blank PDEVs compared to loaded PDEVs in glioblastoma cells. The BBB permeability test showed that ginger and aloe EVs permeated the BBB whilst BCS blank and loaded EVs did not permeate the BBB. Conclusions This delivery system improves the ability of plant-derived extracellular vesicles to cross the blood-brain barrier, addressing a key challenge in delivering treatments to the brain. Through successful encapsulation of itraconazole, it paves the way for glioblastoma treatment by repurposing itraconazole with improved efficacy and reduced side effects. Furthermore, this can be incorporated in various drug delivery vehicles depending on the route of administration and therapeutic outcome i.e. intranasal, intravenous, or oral route. Future studies focus on determining the composition of PDEVs to enable engineering strategies for next generation targeting via surface modification.",

Excessive inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, and cell death are key mechanisms underlying IRI. The lack of multi-targeted therapies contributes to the current insufficiency in clinical IRI management. This study developed endothelial-targeting VHPKQHR peptide (VHP)-modified ginseng-derived exosomes (G-Exos) loaded with IL-6 small interfering RNA (Si-IL6) (siRNA@VG-Exos) to mitigate liver IRI. VHP modification facilitated the targeted delivery of siRNA@VG-Exos to damaged endothelium, promoting their accumulation and subsequent release at the IRI site. siRNA@VG-Exos effectively reduced hepatic inflammatory cytokine release, enhanced T-SOD and CAT expression while suppressing MDA generation, thereby alleviating oxidative stress. Furthermore, they promoted the restoration of mitochondrial membrane potential, maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. Si-IL6 additionally suppressed IL-6 expression in liver tissue, synergistically enhancing the anti-inflammatory effect of G-Exos. Moreover, siRNA@VG-Exos inhibited CD86 expression and promoted CD206 expression in hepatic macrophages, facilitating their polarization from the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype and modulating immunity. Ultimately, siRNA@VG-Exos reduced hepatic necrotic areas, lowered ALT and AST levels, and restored liver tissue function. Further sequencing analysis indicated that siRNA@VG-Exos alleviates liver IRI by inhibiting immune and inflammatory responses and oxidative stress damage. Therefore, siRNA@VG-Exos provides a novel targeted strategy for the treatment of liver IRI.",

PGEs were isolated using a tangential flow filtration system, yielding particles with an average diameter of 159.5\u00a0nm and a concentration of 3.9\u2009\u00d7\u20091012 particles/mL. In 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, PGE treatment resulted in a 72.1% reduction in lipid accumulation, as demonstrated by Oil Red O staining, indicating significant inhibition of adipogenic differentiation. Elevated expression of surface markers TET-8 (147.2%) verified the exosomal nature of the isolated vesicles. To determine their role in adipocyte differentiation, we analyzed gene and protein expression of key adipogenic markers-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-\u03b3), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha and beta, and fatty acid-binding protein 4-revealing reductions of 23.6-35.6% and 26.7-35.2%, respectively. These results indicate downregulation of transcriptional and translational pathways driving adipogenesis. Lipogenic regulators, including sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthase, were also suppressed by 24.9-41.0% (gene) and 22.8-24.5% (protein), indicating impaired fatty acid synthesis. Conversely, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) expression increased by up to 53.8% (gene) and 47.9% (protein), implying activation of energy homeostasis signaling. Immunofluorescence analysis showed a reduction in the MitoTracker/DAPI ratio (57.7-60.0%) and an increase in the F-actin/DAPI ratio (39.5-60.8%), indicating decreased mitochondrial activity and enhanced cytoskeletal integrity. These molecular changes were accompanied by AMPK activation and PPAR-\u03b3 inhibition.

The results demonstrated that the nanoparticles successfully encapsulated Rd, with an encapsulation efficiency of approximately 73.23\u00a0%, and exhibited a hollow spherical morphology. Additionally, the carrier exhibited exceptional stability under varying temperature and salt ion conditions, along with the ability to be readily redispersed. The incorporation of Rd into nanoparticles significantly improved its antioxidant efficacy, as well as its stability and sustained release profile in the gastrointestinal environment. In vivo experiments demonstrated that Rd-loaded nanoparticles significantly improved scopolamine-induced memory deficits, oxidative stress, cholinergic system dysfunction, and neuronal damage in the hippocampal region of mice, outperforming the effects of ginsenoside Rd alone. Western blot results indicated that Rd-loaded nanoparticles improved memory-impaired mice by upregulating p-CaMKII, p-CREB, and BDNF protein expression through modulating the long-term potentiation pathway. We further found that Rd-loaded nanoparticles treatment increased the richness and diversity of gut microbiota. This study provides a promising strategy for the effective treatment of improving learning memory.",

Among the therapeutic agents investigated to modulate macrophage-driven inflammation, compounds extracted from the roots of Panax ginseng have been distinguished for their potent anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, attention has shifted toward ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDEs) because of their ability to encapsulate diverse bioactive compounds with high stability and biocompatibility. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of GDEs against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic shock, with a particular focus on macrophage-mediated mechanisms. GDEs isolated from Korean Panax ginseng exhibited a spherical morphology, high stability, and effective encapsulation of bioactive ginsenosides, including Rb1, Rg1, and Rg3. GDEs significantly attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages by reducing toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) glycosylation, thereby inhibiting LPS binding. This suppression of TLR4 glycosylation led to decreased production of nitric oxide and proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1\u03b2, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1), as well as inhibition of intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation and NF-\u03baB activation. Furthermore, GDE treatment markedly improved survival and alleviated lung, liver, and spleen damage in an LPS-induced sepsis mouse model. In summary, these findings suggest that GDEs represent a promising nanomedicine strategy for sepsis prevention, offering targeted modulation of macrophage activity without apparent adverse effects.",

To address this, a new therapy approach was demonstrated in this study, in which ginsenoside (GS) molecules are incorporated into small extracellular vesicles (sEV) secreted by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and the formed complexes are then anchored in DNA hydrogels via aptamer-CD63 affinity as \"GS/sEV@DNAgels\". Besides the tissue-restorative ability that sEVs inherit from MSCs, in GS/sEV@DNAgels, GS molecules provide a superior antimicrobial/anti-inflammatory environment at wound sites, while DNA hydrogels serve as wound dressings to ensure sustained release kinetics and enhanced skin penetration. An innovative ultrasonic stimulation was developed to promote the massive production of sEVs. By triggering multiple cellular responses that alter membrane fluidity, calcium levels, and relevant protein expression, our approach achieves a 57.7-fold increase in sEV yield. The synergistic effects of GS and sEVs enhance cell viability, migration, and angiogenesis, as well as local anti-inflammatory and antibacterial conditions during diabetic wound healing. The upregulation of miR-424/322 is confirmed as an essential mechanism of this GS/sEV@DNAgel system in accelerating skin restoration. Our work provides a new and promising strategy for diabetic tissue regeneration.",

However, the cellular heterogeneity of diabetic wounds and the specific molecular mechanisms underlying their impaired healing remain unclear. Furthermore, treatment strategies based on medicinal plants targeting these pathological mechanisms are lacking. This study explored diabetic wound pathogenesis using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), revealing a 52\u00a0% reduction in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and a decreased abundance of proliferative ECs in diabetic wound tissues, which contributed to impaired vascular repair. Network pharmacology and RT-qPCR identified E-selectin (SELE) as the key target of Panax notoginseng in the treatment of diabetic wounds, which was corroborated by molecular docking. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent a class of superior bioactive nanomaterials compared to traditional extracts, exhibiting high delivery efficiency, molecular transport capacity, and biocompatibility, enabling cross-species communication essential for therapeutic applications. To further overcome limitations associated with plant-derived extracts (e.g., short half-life), we isolated Panax notoginseng EVs and subsequently loaded them into a hydrogel via dynamic borate ester bonds formed between quaternized chitosan-phenylboronic acid (QCS-BA) and konjac glucomannan (KGM), ultimately generating the QBK-2/EVs composite system. This hydrogel not only effectively encapsulated and continuously released EVs, but also exhibited good injectability, self-healing property, tissue adhesion (42.83\u00a0kPa), and ROS/pH-responsive degradation. In vitro, QBK-2/EVs enhanced human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation by downregulating SELE and upregulating angiogenesis markers (CD31, F-actin). In vivo, QBK-2/EVs accelerated wound healing in diabetic mice, promoted hemostasis, increased collagen deposition, and enhanced microvessel density (CD31), while simultaneously reducing the expression of SELE. Overall, this work establishes a mechanism-driven strategy for diabetic wound treatment through synergistic exosome-mediated angiogenesis and hydrogel-based delivery.",

This study introduces a novel plant exosome-starch composite system, combining Tartary buckwheat starch (TBS) and ginger exosomes (GELNs), referred to as the TBS-GELNs composite resistant starch (GTBS). Multi-scale physicochemical analysis revealed the molecular interaction mechanisms: composite formation significantly altered the microstructure of gelatinized starch. GELNs interacted with TBS through hydrogen bonds, enhancing starch crystallinity and short-range ordering, thus reducing its digestibility. The metabolic effects of GTBS on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) mice were further examined. The results indicated that GTBS markedly decreased fasting blood glucose and lipid levels, alleviated some organ damage, and improved gut microbiota composition by enhancing the structure and abundance of beneficial bacterial populations. This study provides novel insights and a theoretical basis for the regulation of postprandial blood glucose via composite starch-based biomolecules, offering promising strategies for developing staple food products that integrate nutritional value with biological activity.",

Rhizomes of ginger (Zingiber officinale) possess bioactive phenolics, notably 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol derivatives, which have demonstrated antileukemia efficacy in preclinical models. This study rigorously assesses the evidence regarding ginger-derived preparations and isolated compounds in both acute and chronic leukemia models, focusing on recurring mechanisms and translational viability. In leukemia cell line investigations and sparse resistant-model data, ginger-related interventions are consistently linked to diminished viability and the induction of mitochondrial apoptosis, typically indicated by alterations in Bax/Bcl-2 ratios, PARP breakage, and caspase-related measurements. Numerous studies indicate redox modulation, often characterized by elevated intracellular reactive oxygen species in leukemic cells, coupled with diminished pro-survival signaling, such as PI3K/Akt, as indicated by decreased pAkt and survivin levels. The suggested immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects, encompassing alterations in NK-cell activity and cytokines like TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6, are inadequately substantiated within leukemia-specific immunological contexts. Interpretation is limited by the variability in extract composition and chemical characterisation, inconsistent dose and exposure circumstances, dependence on endpoint markers without causative manipulation, and a lack of leukemia-specific clinical data. Ginger-derived compounds exhibit multi-target biological activity that necessitates further exploration through standardized and chemically defined preparations, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characterization, clinically relevant exposure benchmarks, and meticulously designed leukemia-focused translational and early-phase clinical studies to elucidate safety, efficacy, and compatibility with current therapies.",

Nevertheless, the therapeutically active components responsible for its cardioprotective properties have not been fully elucidated. Extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (ELNs) have recently emerged as a promising class of natural nanocarriers with diverse applications in medicine and biology. However, it remains uncertain whether American Ginseng-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (AGELNs) exhibit cardioprotective effects. This investigation aims to analyze the effects of AGELNs on Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) and the mechanisms. Gradient ultracentrifugation was employed to isolate and purify AGELNs, while HPLC was employed for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of saponin molecules in AGELNs. Fluorescently labeled AGELNs were used to assess their uptake in cardiac tissue and cardiomyocytes. DIC models in mice and zebrafish were employed to evaluate the effect of AGELNs against DIC. Transcriptomics, RT-PCR, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and pharmacological agonist and antagonist treatments were used to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of AGELNs in vivo and in vitro. AGELNs significantly enhanced cardiac function in mice and zebrafish models, evidenced by increased fractional shortening (FS), stroke volume, heart rate, and pericardial sac areas. Concomitantly, AGELNs demonstrated pronounced cardiac accumulation in Dox-treated mice, zebrafish, and cardiomyocytes. Transcriptomic and cellular analyses demonstrated AGELNs attenuate DIC by suppressing lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Mechanistically, AGELNs predominantly inhibit cardiomyocyte ferroptosis by targeting GPX4 and activating the NRF2/HO-1/GPX4 pathway. Furthermore, the cardioprotective effect of AGELNs against DIC has been found to be closely linked to its specific combination of bioactive saponins, including Rb1, Rg1, Re, and Rd. AGELNs significantly mitigated DIC by activating GPX4 and suppressing cardiomyocyte ferroptosis in vitro and in vivo. These insights are valuable for the formulation of AGELNs therapies aimed at combating DIC.",

The ideal treatment for periodontitis involves three key steps: antibacterial treatment, inflammation control, and periodontal regeneration, ultimately leading to the complete restoration of alveolar bone and the full recovery of periodontal function. However, current periodontitis treatments cannot comprehensively solve these issues. In this study, a ginseng-derived exosomes (GEXs)-loaded injectable hydrogel (GEXs@Gel) was designed. GEXs@Gel was thermosensitive with good fluidity, capable of conforming to the intricate contours of periodontal pockets, while withstanding the persistent wash of gingival crevicular fluid. In vitro studies showed that GEXs and GEXs@Gel can inhibit the growth of periodontal pathogenic bacteria, effectively remove biofilms, promote the polarization of macrophages to the anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype, and alleviate cellular oxidative stress. In particular, GEXs@Gel had the functions of promoting bone/angiogenesis and regeneration. In vivo studies showed that GEXs@Gel effectively inhibited inflammation, promoted alveolar bone regeneration, and effectively reversed periodontitis. In summary, GEXs@Gel offers a promising strategy for the treatment of periodontitis.",

This study evaluated the therapeutic potential of GDEVs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation and joint destruction. We conducted both in vitro and in vivo experiments using synovial fibroblasts derived from RA patients and a collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) mouse model. In vitro, GDEVs significantly suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) and interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2 and downstream mediators IL-6, Cox-2, and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) and inhibited the proliferation and migration of RA synovial fibroblasts. In vivo, oral administration of GDEVs to CAIA mice reduced arthritis severity, attenuated synovitis, preserved cartilage integrity, and suppressed osteoclast activation. GDEVs were stable against gastric digestion and were efficiently taken up by intestinal cells, supporting their oral availability. Microarray and RNA sequencing identified miR-149 as a key regulatory molecule in GDEVs, associated with the suppression of inflammation-related signaling pathways, including Ras signaling and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. These findings highlight the potential of GDEVs as an anti-inflammatory therapy for RA. Given their stability and bioavailability, the oral administration of GDEVs could be a promising non-invasive treatment for future clinical applications.",

Here, we revealed that plant-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (PEVs) offer a promising strategy to overcome this barrier. Using an optimized high-yield extraction protocol, we isolated PEVs from four medicinal plants: Panax ginseng, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, and Ligusticum chuanxiong. Among these, extracellular vesicles derived from Panax notoginseng (NotoEV, vesicle population) exhibited the strongest neuroprotective effects under hypoxic conditions in vitro and in vivo stroke models. Mechanistically, NotoEV delivered conserved plant microRNAs to recipient neurons, where they suppressed key stress granule nucleators GTPase-activating protein-binding protein 2 (G3bp2), Ubiquitin-associated protein 2 like (Ubap2l), and LSM14A mRNA processing body assembly factor (Lsm14a), activated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, and promoted mitochondrial stabilization via the B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)/ Translocase Of Outer Mitochondrial Membrane 20 (TOM20) axis.

Developing innovative strategies to resensitize drug-resistant pathogens to existing antibiotics represents a promising therapeutic approach. Here, we present a biomimetic nanoplatform (Ce-Car@EV NPs) through the rational integration of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) and a pH-responsive cerium-carbenicillin coordination nanoparticles (Ce-Car NCPs). This design enables prolonged circulation and targeted degradation in acidic infection sites, releasing Ce4+ ions and carbenicillin. The released Ce4+ ions penetrate the bacterial cells, where they disrupt ATP synthesis, impede oxidative phosphorylation, and inhibit the activity of efflux pump. By depleting ATP, blocking efflux pumps, and thereby reversing bacterial resistance, Ce4+ ions act as a potent adjuvant to carbenicillin. Here we show that this strategy effectively restores carbenicillin efficacy against drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa both in vitro and in vivo, establishing a therapeutic strategy leveraging metallic adjuvants to counteract antimicrobial resistance.",

However, a question is whether geographical variation of plant alters the lipid composition of PELNs to impact immune cells. To investigate this, geographical variation in ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs) was leveraged as a natural lipid library. The first step was to determine whether geographical variation triggered biosynthetic divergence in GELNs lipids. Our approach combined lipidomic profiling, functional assays, and computational simulations to identify lipids that govern B-cell internalization and to elucidate their underlying mechanisms. Among 1202 lipids, 88 were differentially abundant (VIP >1.2, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05), and 36 correlated with internalization (|\u03c1|\u00a0>\u00a00.65, p\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Molecular docking showed DG (32:2) binding strongly to fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) (-8.00\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.17\u00a0kcal/mol) and PG (23:2) variants preferring autotaxin (ATX) (-6.97 to -7.43\u00a0kcal/mol), with both exceeding their affinity for bovine serum albumin, indicating a protein corona-independent mechanism. Molecular dynamics simulations validated the specificity predicted by docking, confirming that DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) form more stable complexes with FAAH and ATX, respectively. These data demonstrated a structure-activity relationship in which the promotion and inhibition of B-cell internalization are mediated by the key lipids DG (32:2) and PG (23:2) engaging FAAH and ATX through stereospecific interactions, respectively. This work establishes a phenotype-driven pipeline that bridges botanical diversity with precision nutrition, providing a source of functional dietary lipids, a mechanistic basis for their immunomodulatory effects, and a robust tool for quality evaluation.",

This critical issue poses a considerable threat to patient safety and the effectiveness of conventional treatments, primarily through modulation of the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzyme system, a key metabolic pathway for many drugs. This research aims to elucidate how herbal remedies affect CYP450 enzyme activity, thereby influencing drug pharmacokinetics. Our methodology involves a comprehensive critical evaluation of existing scientific data from in silico, in vitro, and in vivo studies, clinical trials, and meta-analyses to identify specific herbal medicines with significant effects on CYP450. The investigation outlines their mechanisms of action, distinguishing between enzyme induction, which can diminish drug efficacy, and inhibition, which may lead to increased drug concentrations and toxicity. It was highlighted that certain medicinal plants and their bioactive compounds may act as inducers or inhibitors across major isoforms, including CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4. Comprehensive data were compiled for ten plant species with the most extensive scientific information regarding their effects on CYP450, namely St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum L.), Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea (L.)

We engineered a temporally controlled hydrogel microneedle system that integrates ginseng-derived exosomes (G-Exos) with biomimetic polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA@PEGs) to concurrently target the pathogenic triad of vitiligo, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and melanocyte deficiency. This system employs methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HAMA) hydrogel microneedles for rapid PDA@PEG release while utilizing glyceryl monostearate micelles to achieve matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)-responsive G-Exo release at inflammatory foci, enabling intelligent spatiotemporal control. Functionally, G-Exos help restore redox homeostasis and suppress inflammation through bioactive constituents, thereby protecting melanocytes and enhancing keratinocyte proliferation. Moreover, PDA@PEG promotes repigmentation through the dual mechanisms of exogenous melanin deposition and endogenous melanogenesis stimulation. In murine models, this strategy achieves significant repigmentation within 3 weeks by activating follicular stem cells, upregulating melanogenic markers (Tyr/Mc1r), increasing antioxidant defense (ApoE), and suppressing inflammatory signaling (IL-17).

To overcome these challenges, we developed a nose-to-brain delivery system comprising teriflunomide-loaded ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (G-EVs) embedded in an in situ nasal gel. G-EVs were isolated via serial centrifugation and double filtration and characterized for particle size (103.5\u2009\u00b1\u20091.09\u00a0nm) and zeta potential (-17.3\u2009\u00b1\u20090.32\u00a0mV) confirming nanoscale uniformity. Teriflunomide was loaded into G-EVs with an entrapment efficiency of 63.24\u2009\u00b1\u20090.75%. In vitro release studies revealed a biphasic drug release profile; an initial burst release of 3% in 24\u00a0h followed by sustained release over 21\u00a0days. The cytotoxicity of the G-EVs, loaded G-EVs and the drug was found to be non-toxic at lower concentrations (<\u20090.5\u00a0mg/ml).

ZnO NPs and thin films obtained were characterized using physical, structural, and biological techniques. Firstly, two AAB isolates were obtained from olive leaf vinegar and kombucha with ginger, and genotypically identified. ZnO NPs synthesis by N. hansenii B1 and N. hansenii B2 was indicated by a white precipitate and confirmed for both NPs and thin films by UV-Vis absorption at 300-400\u00a0nm. SEM images revealed agglomerated ZnO NPs and homogeneous nanosized thin films, while EDX analysis confirmed their pure phase composition with zinc and oxygen peaks. XRD results showed the presence of monoclinic and cubic crystal ZnO NPs, with crystallite sizes ranging from 9.68 to 35.11\u00a0nm, while the thin films were amorphous. FTIR spectra revealed 519 and 3350\u00a0cm-\u20091 peaks corresponding to ZnO bonds. The measurements of water contact angles of ZnO thin films exhibited hydrophilic surface characteristics.

The therapeutic effects of Ago124@R-PDN were further assessed in several sets of experiments. Pharmacokinetic study showed that erythrocyte membrane extended the half-life of PDNs from 7 min to 11.3 h, and the loading efficiency of Ago124 reached 40\u202f%.

These platforms combine exceptional biocompatibility, negligible immunogenicity, and renewable sourcing with tunable drug loading, targeted delivery, and controlled release properties. This review synthesizes translational advances from 2020 to 2026, covering scalable isolation/bioprocessing (bioreactors, elicitation), multi-parametric physicochemical/multi-omics characterization, rational engineering/hybridization, and rigorous in vitro/in vivo assessments of uptake, biodistribution, pharmacokinetic (PK), and efficacy. Phytosomes and PBNPs markedly enhance oral bioavailability and targeted delivery of lipophilic phytochemicals, while PDEVs offer unique immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and gene-regulatory activities. Hybrid and green-synthesized systems provide structural stability, redox modulation, and synergistic effects, and self-assembled/multifunctional composites address solubilization barriers with stimuli-responsive design. Early-phase human studies on grapefruit-, ginger-, turmeric-, and ginseng-derived PDEVs report excellent short-term safety, favorable PK, and preliminary bioactivity signals, with no observed immunogenicity or dose-limiting toxicities; however, these trials remain exploratory, constrained by small sample sizes and safety-focused endpoints. Despite challenges, including methodological heterogeneity, variable yields, long-term safety uncertainties (notably for inorganic hybrids), and regulatory ambiguities, emerging strategies such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-engineered plant line; artificial-intelligence-driven process optimization; standardized guidelines, and integrated clinical, intellectual property, and commercialization frameworks are progressively addressing these barriers. Collectively, these advances position plant-derived nanocarriers as immunologically privileged, eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic and mammalian platforms, laying the foundation for a sustainable era of precision phytomedicine.",

In particular, pEVs have attracted interest because of their roles in intercellular communication. This study aimed to isolate and comprehensively characterize pEVs derived from Equisetum arvense (H-EVs) and Lavandula angustifolia (L-EVs), and to evaluate their morphological features, protein content, and biological functions, with a specific focus on wound healing, senescence, oxidative stress modulation, and antimicrobial activity. RESULTS: H-EVs and L-EVs displayed spherical morphology, high stability, narrow size distribution, and substantial protein content as confirmed by TEM and DLS analyses. In vitro assays in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and keratinocytes (HaCaT) demonstrated that both pEV types were non-cytotoxic and significantly enhanced cellular metabolic activity. Scratch wound assays revealed markedly accelerated wound closure, driven by a combination of cell migration and proliferation. Senescence analyses showed reduced \u03b2-galactosidase activity and improved cellular morphology following with pEV treatment. Antioxidant assessments indicated increased total antioxidant capacity, decreased oxidant load, and a reduced oxidative stress index. Gene expression analysis by qPCR confirmed upregulation of COL1A1, COL1A2, and FGF, supporting extracellular matrix production and tissue repair. Additionally, both H-EVs and L-EVs exhibited notable antibacterial and antifungal activities. CONCLUSIONS: H-EVs and L-EVs effectively alleviate oxidative stress and cellular senescence while promoting wound healing through enhanced collagen synthesis, cell migration, and proliferation. Their non-cytotoxic nature, combined with antioxidant, anti-senescent, and antimicrobial properties, underscores their versatility and therapeutic potential. These findings highlight that pEVs as safe and effective biotherapeutic candidates, supporting their future clinical translation in dermatology and regenerative medicine.",

Impaired keratinocyte migration across the wound bed is a key determinant of non-healing wounds. In this context, plant-derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) have emerged as promising therapeutic agents for wound healing due to their high yield, intrinsic biocompatibility, the ability to traverse biological barriers, and an intrinsic molecular cargo (lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and phytochemicals) that can exert multitarget effects. In this study, we screened a panel of six PDNVs and found Panax notoginseng-derived PDNVs (PNVs) displayed superior cell proliferation-promoting activity. To further amplify the bioactivity of PNVs, we actively loaded epidermal growth factor (EGF) onto PNVs (EGF@PNVs). By employing LC-MS and miRNA sequencing, we identified abundant small-molecule compounds (e.g., ginsenoside Rb1, Rg1) and miRNAs (e.g., miRNA 159) in PNVs. In vitro experiments demonstrated that PNVs and EGF@PNVs significantly enhanced the proliferation and migration of human keratinocytes (HACAT) as well as the repair of skin mechanical trauma. Moreover, they not only directly accelerated the proliferation and migration of L929 mouse fibroblast cells (L929 cells) but also orchestrated the secretion of TNF-\u03b1 by mouse mononuclear macrophages (RAW264.7 cells). This cytokine subsequently induced the fibroblast activation or phenotype modulation in L929 cells, further augmenting their proliferative and migratory potential. In a mouse skin injury model both formulations accelerated wound closure and exerted immunomodulatory effects, with EGF@PNVs consistently outperforming PNVs. Collectively, our findings introduce EGF@PNVs as a natural, cost-effective, topical alternative to conventional biologics for wound management.",

This review aims to explore the roles, mechanisms, and therapeutic potential of three principal ginseng components, including ginseng polysaccharides (GPS), ginseng proteins (GP), and ginseng glycoproteins (GGP), in the prevention and management of AD. We systematically reviewed recent literature related to these components in AD research. By analyzing evidence from cellular experiments, animal models, and preliminary clinical studies, we evaluated their effects on core pathological processes. These ginseng-derived compounds exert neuroprotective effects via multiple pathways. Specifically, they inhibit the aggregation of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) and reduce the hyperphosphorylation of tau protein. Furthermore, they demonstrate significant anti-neuroinflammatory and antioxidant activities, which protect neurons from damage and enhance cognitive functions, including memory and learning. The efficacy of these components has been consistently demonstrated across various AD experimental models. In conclusion, GPS, GP, and GGP exhibit promise as multitarget therapeutic agents against AD, underscoring a potential pathway for developing novel natural product-based treatments. Although current preclinical results are promising, further rigorous clinical trials are necessary to validate their efficacy and safety in humans.

This study examined whether traditional Japanese Kampo medicines also contain extracellular vesicles. The drug substance (i.e., spray-dried powder from hot-water extracts of crude drugs) of the Kampo medicine Ninjin'yoeito was suspended in distilled water and fractionated by size exclusion chromatography to isolate nano-sized particles. Nanoparticle tracking analysis and electron microscopy confirmed the particle size distribution and morphology of the product, confirming the presence of exosome-like nanoparticles in the Kampo medicine preparation. Nanoparticle measurements and electron microscopy revealed vesicle-like structures consistent with the known characteristics of exosomes, and proteomic analysis supported their biochemical identity. Lectin array profiling revealed the abundance of high-mannose N-glycans on their surface. These nanoparticles were internalized by cells, and miRNA analysis indicated the presence of multiple miRNA types within the nanoparticles. This is the first report demonstrating the presence and characteristics of exosome-like nanoparticles in Kampo medicines.

The gut-heart axis and exosomal crosstalk hold therapeutic promise for cardioprotection, yet the fundamental question of which specific gut cells release the beneficial exosomes is unanswered. This study aimed to elucidate whether ginseng polysaccharides WGPA exert remote cardiac protection by regulating intestinal immune homeostasis, specifically through promoting the release of exosomes from regulatory T cells (Tregs). Using integrated in vivo and in vitro models, we evaluated the protective effects of WGPA against MIRI. The results demonstrated that WGPA pretreatment significantly attenuated myocardial injury and improved cardiac function. Mechanistically, WGPA selectively activated intestinal Tregs and enhanced the release of HSP70-enriched exosomes. These exosomes entered systemic circulation and were delivered to the heart, where surface HSP70 interacted with TLR4 on cardiomyocytes, activating downstream protective signaling pathways and ultimately suppressing cardiomyocyte death and inflammatory responses. Our study reveals for the first time a complete mechanism by which medicinal plant polysaccharides confer cross-organ cardioprotection via the \"intestinal Tregs-exosome-heart\" axis, providing a novel theoretical basis and a potential intervention strategy for the prevention and treatment of MIRI.",

Optimized nanoparticles prepared via one-pot coprecipitation exhibited a particle size of 115.14 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.084, zeta potential of +52.23 mV, encapsulation efficiency of 94.93%, and loading capacity of 23.73%. Spectroscopic analyses (FT-IR, UV-Vis, XPS) and fluorescence quenching confirmed the formation of a core-shell metal-phenolic network, where Fe(III) coordinates with 8-Shogaol and BSA forms the outer protein shell. Compared to free 8-Shogaol, the BSA-Fe(III)-8S MPN nanoparticles demonstrated significantly enhanced thermal, UV, and storage stability.

Meyer) is a classic herbal medicine widely utilized in dermatological management, yet its precise therapeutic mechanisms have only recently begun to be fully elucidated. This review systematically synthesizes the pharmacological roles of ginseng's active components, including ginsenosides, polysaccharides, and gintonin, in maintaining skin homeostasis and treating various cutaneous pathologies. Emerging evidence suggests that the efficacy of ginseng extends beyond direct molecular interactions, exhibiting the distinct characteristics of \"indirect pharmacology.\" Specifically, parent ginsenosides function primarily as natural prodrugs that require microbial biotransformation into high-affinity active metabolites, such as Compound K and Rh2, to exert potent therapeutic effects. Functionally, these components regulate skin health by mobilizing endogenous host defense systems, particularly through the activation of the Nrf2/ARE antioxidant pathway and the suppression of inflammatory cascades via the NF-\u03baB, MAPK, and IL-1 signaling networks. Furthermore, they remodel the systemic microenvironment through the gut-skin axis, facilitating metabolic homeostasis to improve skin barrier function. Notably, biotransformation rates and ultimate therapeutic efficacy are highly dependent on individualized variables, such as host age, dietary patterns, and baseline disease states. This systemic regulation has demonstrated robust efficacy in intervening in complex pathologies, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and skin cancer. Additionally, this article addresses the translational bottleneck of low bioavailability and evaluates recent advances in novel skin delivery systems, specifically those utilizing ginseng-derived exosomes. Collectively, this review provides a scientific framework for understanding the systemic actions of ginseng, supporting its development as a precision botanical therapy for dermatological applications.",

Plant-derived nanovesicles have emerged as safe, biocompatible biomaterials with therapeutic potential for bone regeneration. In this work, the biological effects of Panax ginseng-derived nanovesicles (PNVs) were evaluated with a focus on osteoblast differentiation, bone formation, and mineralization. PNVs were successfully isolated, characterized, and tested for their osteogenic capacity using MC3T3-E1 cells, mouse primary osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. Treatment with PNVs (0-10\u00a0\u03bcg/mL) for 3 or 7 days markedly promoted osteoblastic maturation and matrix mineral deposition, as confirmed by Alizarin-red and Von Kossa staining. In addition, PNVs exposure upregulated key osteogenic genes, including Runx2, ALP, and OPN, while activating major signaling cascades such as BMP2/4 and phosphorylated p38, implying their involvement in osteogenic regulation. Moreover, in an ovariectomized (OVX) mouse model, oral administration of PNVs improved bone microarchitecture by stimulating osteoblast-driven bone regeneration and attenuating osteoclast-mediated bone degradation. Collectively, our findings indicate that PNVs promote osteoblast differentiation and bone matrix formation, thereby enhancing mineralization and demonstrating their potential as a natural nanotherapeutic approach for osteoporosis prevention and treatment.",

The aim of this study was focused on the potential of ginsenoside (Gn)-Rh2 from ginseng exosomes (Gn-Exos), a primary bioactive constituent of Panax ginseng, to enhance chemotherapy sensitivity in NSCLC. In this study, Gn-Exo was isolated and identified. The intake and internal organ distribution of PKH26-labelled Gn-Exos was detected using immunofluorescence and in vivo imaging. Transwell migration, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation, cell counting, and wound healing experiments were performed to assess NSCLC cell proliferation and migration. A mouse tumor xenograft model was constructed to assess the roles of Gn-Exos and the main active ingredient Gn-Rh2 in NSCLC progression and metastasis in vivo. Gn-Exos can inhibit the proliferation, migration, cancer growth, and pulmonary metastasis of NSCLC cells. Mass spectrometry analysis confirmed that the main component of Gn-Exos was Gn-Rh2. The results also showed that Gn-Rh2 inhibited the proliferation and migration of NSCLC cells in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. Comprehensive proteomic analysis identified ribonucleotide reductase regulatory subunit M2 (RRM2) and ubiquitin-specific protease 22 (USP22) as key targets significantly downregulated by Gn-Rh2. Experimental results demonstrated that Gn-Rh2 disrupts the interaction to USP22, disrupting the interaction between USP22 and RRM2, leading to ubiquitination degradation of RRM2. Animal experiments further confirmed that Gn-Rh2 sensitized NSCLC cells to chemotherapy, particularly cisplatin. These findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of Gn-Rh2 in enhancing chemotherapy sensitivity and suggest a promising therapeutic strategy for NSCLC.",

This study aims to evaluate the cardioprotective potential of plant-derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) derived from Panax ginseng (Gin) and Rehmannia glutinosa (Glu) against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative injury in cardiac cells. Methods: PDNVs were isolated from medicinal plants via differential ultracentrifugation and characterized for morphology, diameter, stability, and cellular uptake. The antioxidant and cytoprotective effects were assessed in H2O2-injured cardiomyoblasts through cell viability, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH\u00b7) radical scavenging, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial superoxide detection, and antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase, SOD; glutathione peroxidase, GPx) activity assays. The composition of the PDNVs was determined through Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining for proteins, agarose gel electrophoresis for nucleic acids, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry system (LC-MS) for bioactive monomers. Results: Gin-PDNVs and Glu-PDNVs significantly enhanced cardiomyoblast viability under oxidative stress. Glu-PDNVs demonstrated superior efficacy at lower concentrations, with stronger ROS scavenging capacity. Compositional analysis revealed that Glu-PDNVs carry proteins, nucleic acids, and antioxidant herbal compounds such as catalpol, rehmannioside D, and acteoside. Glu-PDNVs also dose-dependently scavenged DPPH\u00b7 radicals, reduced mitochondrial superoxide accumulation, and significantly restored the H2O2-induced suppression of SOD and GPx activities.

The clinical use of finasteride for AGA is limited by its poor solubility and systemic adverse effects. To address the limitations of finasteride, we developed a drug delivery system using ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs). These nanoparticles were loaded with finasteride and integrated into a thermosensitive gel (FIN@GELNs-Gel) to enhance transdermal absorption. In vitro results demonstrated that the formulation promoted cell migration and angiogenesis, indicating its potential to improve the hair follicle microenvironment. In vivo study on AGA mouse models showed a significant reduction in dihydrotestosterone levels in both the skin and serum. Furthermore, the treatment upregulated VEGF and Ki67 expression, accelerated the telogen-to-anagen transition effectively, all without inducing histopathological abnormalities in major organs.

Current pharmaceutical therapies mainly alleviate symptoms without halting disease progression. Evidence suggests that traditional plant-based interventions may serve as supplementary therapies by targeting oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and apoptosis. This review explores the neuroprotective properties of ten medicinal plants commonly used in traditional medicine: Bacopa monnieri, Curcuma longa, Mimosa pudica, Zingiber officinale, Ocimum sanctum, Emblica officinalis, Camellia sinensis, Cannabis sativa, Panax ginseng, and Withania somnifera. A systematic and comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science identified relevant in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies. This study highlights the mechanisms by which plant-derived chemicals influence cellular pathways associated with PD, emphasising their therapeutic potential despite limited clinical validation. Studies have shown that bioactive compounds such as curcumin, bacoside, Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), cannabidiol, ginsenosides, and withanolides exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and neuroprotective effects in PD models. Nanotechnology offers promising strategy to enhance the efficacy of herbal compounds, addressing challenges of poor solubility, rapid metabolism, low bioavailability, and restricted blood-brain barrier penetration.

Here, we designed and synthesized a plant-derived ginger exosome-coated albumin nanoparticle drug delivery system (GEBSS) loaded with Shikonin (SHK) and STM2457 (a METTL3 inhibitor) and probes into the mechanism of antitumor. We prepared and characterized GEBSS nanoparticles and evaluated their in vitro cellular uptake and targeting capabilities. The in vitro antitumor efficacy was assessed by measuring cell viability, clonogenic formation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and apoptosis markers; biosafety was confirmed via a hemolysis assay. Furthermore, the ability of GEBSS to induce ICD was validated through Western blotting, ATP detection, and immunofluorescence assays, while its role in epigenetic regulation was elucidated using Dot Blot, MeRIP-qPCR, and RNA stability experiments. Finally, the in vivo antitumor effect of GEBSS was verified by intravenous administration in a nude mouse subcutaneous tumor model. A subsequent characterization revealed that GEBSS exhibited a concentrated size distribution around 142\u00a0nm, were efficiently absorbed by colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, and demonstrated inhibitory effects on tumor cell proliferation. In vivo experiments demonstrated excellent tumor-targeting ability, anti-tumor efficacy, and biocompatibility of GEBSS. Mechanistically, GEBSS induced apoptosis and immunogenic cell death (ICD) in tumor cells. Moreover, at the epigenetic regulation level, GEBSS suppressed cell proliferation by reducing the m6A methylation levels of immune checkpoint genes PD-L1 and CD47.

Current treatments often face challenges including limited targeting efficacy and systemic side effects. To develop a novel targeted therapy for RA, this study constructed a functionalized extracellular vesicle (EV) system by engineering ginseng stems and leaves-derived EVs with hyaluronic acid (HA) modification and curcumin (Cur) loading (Cur@EVs-PH). Structurally, the EVs-PH drug-loaded nanoplatform integrates the remarkable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of EVs with the prolonged circulation capacity conferred by PEG. This design further capitalizes on the targeting ability of HA, thereby providing a robust structural foundation for the efficient delivery of therapeutics to disease sites. Our results demonstrated that the designed system achieved enhanced inflammatory targeting through CD44 receptor-mediated accumulation and exhibited potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In the collagen-induced arthritis model, Cur@EVs-PH significantly alleviated joint swelling, reduced pathological scores and normalized immune organ indices. Mechanistic studies revealed that the therapeutic effects were mediated through suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and promotion of macrophage M2 polarization.

The development of targeted and biocompatible drug delivery systems is urgently needed to control pulmonary inflammatory cascades while minimizing systemic toxicity. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles offer a naturally safe and anti-inflammatory platform for therapeutic delivery. Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1), a major bioactive compound from ginseng, possesses potent anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties, whereas lemon-derived EVs (LEVs) exhibit intrinsic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we engineered a multifunctional, biocompatible drug delivery platform, GRb1@LEVs-cRGD, in which ginsenoside Rb1 is incorporated into and fused with LEVs to form hybrid bio-nanovesicles, while the vesicle surface is functionalized with cyclic RGD (cRGD) peptides to target integrin \u03b1v\u03b23 highly expressed in inflamed pulmonary tissues, thereby enhancing site-specific delivery. In vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD effectively inhibited M1 macrophage polarization, suppressed inflammatory cascades, and preserved epithelial-endothelial integrity. Furthermore, exogenous cholesterol loading improved vesicle stability, maintained the pH gradient, and enhanced the loading efficiency of tigecycline and vancomycin by six-fold. In murine models of bacterial pneumonia induced by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, antibiotic-loaded GRb1@LEVs-cRGD efficiently accumulated at infection sites and exhibited synergistic anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. Overall, this study demonstrates that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD is a safe, targeted, and multifunctional therapeutic platform with significant potential for ALI/ARDS treatment.",

In this study, we systematically evaluated the anti-tumor effect of Bi2536, an inhibitor of Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), in HGSOC, and clarified its mechanism. Bi2536 inactivates PLK1, leading to the subsequent inactivation of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1). This disruption triggers a cascade of antitumor effects, including G2/M phase arrest, induction of mitochondrial apoptosis, and suppression of cell migration and invasion. Furthermore, we identified circadian oscillations in PLK1 expression both in HGSOC cells and in vivo xenograft models. To enhance therapeutic precision and minimize systemic toxicity, we engineered a biomimetic nano-delivery system for Bi2536. This integrated platform combines chemotherapy and chemodynamic therapy (CDT), significantly improving antitumor outcomes. Importantly, synchronizing Bi2536 administration with the circadian peaks of PLK1 expression further augmented its therapeutic efficacy. In summary, our work establishes that the combination of Bi2536 with a biomimetic nano-delivery system, together with its chronotherapeutic administration, constitutes a highly promising and multifaceted strategy for the treatment of HGSOC.",

Here, we isolated and characterized spice exosome-like nanoparticles (ELNs) from ginger, garlic, Armoracia rusticana, basil, onion, and scallion. Then evaluated their efficacy in inhibiting bound HAs and AGEs in air-fried beef patties. Among all treatments, Armoracia rusticana ELNs (ARELNs) exhibited the most potent and broad-spectrum inhibitory activity, reducing total HAs by 53.4% and total AGEs by 50.6% at 1.0% addition, significantly outperforming other spice ELNs. ARELNs also demonstrated superior free radical scavenging capacity and suppressed lipid/protein oxidation more effectively than other spice ELNs. Crucially, ARELNs preserved desirable sensory attributes with minimal adverse impact. Metabolomic profiling revealed that ARELNs are uniquely enriched in isothiocyanate precursors (sinigrin, gluconasturtiin, 3-methylsulfinylpropyl isothiocyanate), which may act as dual scavengers of reactive carbonyls and free radicals. These findings suggest spice ELNs, particularly those from horseradish, as a novel, nature-derived nanovehicle strategy to simultaneously mitigate multiple thermal processing hazards while maintaining product quality, offering a promising clean-label solution for the meat industry.",

The green synthesis and characterization of ChNPs using ginger extract were evaluated for their effects on biochemical and morphological parameters in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.). Ginger-loaded ChNPs synthesis, size, structure, morphology, and\u00a0crystallinity\u00a0were confirmed via UV-Vis spectrophotometry, DLS (151.7 nm,\u2009\u00b1\u200930 mV), FTIR, SEM, and XRD, respectively. Foliar applications of ChNPs (50 mg L-1 and 100 mg L-1) and pesticides confidor (2.5 mL L-1) confidor\u2009+\u2009talstar (2.5 mL L-1) were applied at flowering and capsule stages under controlled conditions. ChNPs at 100 mg L\u2009\u207b\u2009\u00b9 significantly enhanced plant height 5.3%, leaf area 26.5%, number of capsules 43.6%, capsule weight (12.4%), stem diameter 34.4%, total chlorophyll 11.9%, and catalase activity 53.1% compared with the control (P\u2009<\u20090.05), while reducing peroxidase 85.7% and PAL 59%.

A critical event during the triggering phase is the activation of inflammasomes, cytosolic multiprotein complexes that function as signaling platforms to promote inflammatory responses. Although canonical and noncanonical inflammasomes are activated by distinct ligands, both play pivotal roles in inflammatory processes and contribute to the development of a wide range of human diseases. Consequently, inflammasomes have emerged as promising therapeutic targets for the regulation of inflammation and the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Ginseng and its major saponin constituents, ginsenosides, have been extensively reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory functions, at least in part, through the inhibition of inflammasome activation, emphasizing their therapeutic potential in inflammasome-associated diseases. Beyond ginsenosides, accumulating evidence has highlighted the biological relevance of ginseng-derived nonsaponin components and has begun to elucidate their mechanisms of action in inflammatory conditions, particularly through the modulation of inflammasome activation. This review summarizes current findings on the regulatory roles of ginseng nonsaponins in inflammasome-mediated inflammatory responses and highlights their potential as novel herbal therapeutics to prevent and treat inflammasome-driven human diseases.",

This review focuses on representative metabolites (Rg3, Rh2 and compound K) and summarizes mechanistic evidence for apoptosis and cell-cycle control, metabolic reprogramming (Warburg-type glycolysis), and epigenetic regulation (miRNA/lncRNA-linked programs), together with immunomodulatory effects in the tumor microenvironment. A central translational constraint is pharmacokinetics and the \"microbiota gatekeeping\" effect: many parent ginsenosides show limited oral absorption and require microbiota-mediated deglycosylation, resulting in delayed and variable systemic exposure across individuals. To address this bottleneck, we discuss pragmatic translational directions including bioconversion/pre-transformation to enrich active metabolites, biomimetic delivery platforms such as ginseng-derived exosome-like nanoparticles to improve exposure and tissue uptake, and mechanism-guided combinations (e.g., with immune checkpoint blockade). Finally, we outline how biomarker-informed stratification and AI/ML-enabled, hypothesis-generating optimization of delivery/formulation may support more predictable clinical development.",

Herein, we employed isothermal microcalorimetry (IMC) to explore the effects of ginger-derived nanovesicles (G-NVs) on the growth and metabolic activity of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt), a dominant saccharolytic commensal with promising next-generation probiotic potential. Bt was exposed to either G-NVs or the ginger extract separated from G-NVs (G-CTL) in defined media under anaerobic conditions. Both ginger samples enhanced bacterial specific growth rate and maximum metabolic activity, inducing the latter earlier. However, higher biomass production and greater secretion of acetic, succinic and propionic acids occurred only in response to the G-CTL. Complete sugar depletion and unchanged free amino acid levels indicated preferential carbohydrate utilisation by Bt. Overall, these findings revealed that Bt's metabolic state is shaped by both G-NVs and G-CTL, yet through distinct mechanisms, with G-NVs inducing rapid stimulation without increasing total metabolic output and G-CTL providing a sustained, dose-dependent effect. To our knowledge, this is the first study applying IMC to monitor in real-time the impact of EVs on microbial growth and metabolism, underscoring IMC's utility for mechanistic studies of EV-microbe interactions. Furthermore, this research sets the ground for innovative strategies in nutraceutical and microbiome-targeted therapy development.",

Here, we developed an injectable self-healing hydrogel (CMCS/OHA/Exo, \"Exo-gel\") incorporating ginseng callus stem-cell-derived exosomes to promote burn repair. The hydrogel rapidly formed via Schiff-base crosslinking, exhibited excellent injectability, mechanical resilience, and sustained exosome release. Exosomes (\u223c140\u202fnm) were rich in bioactive lipids and miRNAs related to angiogenesis and immune regulation. In vitro, Exo-gel enhanced cell viability, reduced LPS-induced reactive-oxygen species (ROS), and significantly downregulated IL-1\u03b2, iNOS, IL-6, and TNF-\u03b1 expression. In vivo, Exo-gel accelerated wound closure, promoted re-epithelialization, angiogenesis, and collagen remodeling, yielding superior tissue repair.

Ginseng polysaccharide functionalized SeNPs (GP-SeNPs) were prepared. Particle size, in vitro antioxidant activity, cellular uptake, and protection against H2O2\u2011induced oxidative stress were assessed. A DSS\u2011induced colitis mouse model was used to assess preventive effects. GP-SeNPs showed smaller particle size (101.00\u2009\u00b1\u20091.22\u2009nm), strong antioxidant activity, enhanced cellular uptake, and protection against oxidative stress in vitro. In DSS mice, GP-SeNPs alleviated colon shortening, weight loss, disease activity index, pro\u2011inflammatory cytokine mRNA expression, oxidative stress, and colonic histopathological damage. Ginseng polysaccharide functionalization improved the stability and biological performance of SeNPs, supporting their development as functional ingredients for intestinal health protection.",

In this study, a novel biosensing system has been developed based on Zn2GeO4:Mn luminescent superparticles/Au-Ag bimetallic nanoarrays for the detection of miRNA-156a in ginseng. First, polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene (PEO-PPO-PEO) triblock copolymer (P123) is used as a structure-directing agent to induce the directional self-assembly of Zn2GeO4:Mn nanorods as luminescent superparticles (SPs). Moreover, the hydrophilic end of P123 adsorbs more coreactants to accelerate reaction kinetics and significantly boosts the intensity and stability of electrochemiluminescence (ECL). Meanwhile, a Au-Ag bimetallic nanoarray is fabricated as an electrode modification interface. This Au-Ag bimetallic nanoarray enlarges the electrochemical surface area and elevates electron-transfer rates, leading to remarkable ECL signal enhancement. Furthermore, the high catalytic activity of Ag lowers the energy barrier for the electrochemical reaction in the system, thereby enabling the ECL reaction to proceed at a lower negative potential. Finally, a sandwich-type ECL biosensor is constructed for the detection of miRNA-156a in ginseng exosomes. The sensor has a linear range of 1 fM to 1 nM and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 1.3 fM, which offers technical support for the pharmacodynamic evaluation and medicinal part selection of ginseng.",
        "42486784": "ID: 42486784\nTitle: In Situ Transferrin-Mediated Sandwich-like Targeting with Engineered Ginger-Derived Extracellular Vesicles for Precision Oral Chemotherapy of Colorectal Cancer.\nAbstract: Oral chemotherapy for colorectal cancer (CRC) is limited by poor tumor selectivity and microenvironment-driven resistance. Addressing these limitations demands materials that integrate tumor-selective targeting with immune microenvironment modulation. Here, clinical analysis of CRC specimens revealed pronounced transferrin (Tf) enrichment in CRC-associated intestinal regions. Guided by this finding, we engineered a gastrointestinal-stable cyclic Tf-binding peptide (cp) with high Tf affinity and constructed cp-modified ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (cp-GEVs) for in situ Tf-mediated sandwich-like targeting. By recruiting endogenous Tf, cp-GEVs established a Tf-mediated bridging interface that selectively engages Tf receptor-overexpressing intestinal epithelium and tumor cells, enabling efficient epithelial transcytosis, tumor-selective accumulation, and deep intratumoral penetration after oral administration. When loaded with irinotecan (CPT-11), CPT@cp-GEVs significantly enhanced intracellular drug delivery and reprogrammed immunosuppressive M2-like tumor-associated macrophages toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype, thereby disrupting cancer stem cell-enriched drug-resistant niches. In AOM/DSS-induced primary CRC models and patient-derived ex vivo systems, CPT@cp-GEVs significantly improved chemotherapeutic efficacy while attenuating resistance. Collectively, this work establishes a Tf-mediated sandwich-like targeting framework for oral cancer therapy, offering a conceptually distinct materials design paradigm that integrates endogenous ligand recruitment with immune microenvironment reprogramming.",
        "42501555": "ID: 42501555\nTitle: Gut microbiota and polycystic ovary syndrome: Pathogenesis and novel therapeutic approaches.\nAbstract: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder in women that is characterized by a complex pathogenesis involving multiple mechanisms, including hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, insulin resistance (IR), and chronic inflammation. Recent studies have demonstrated that the gut microbiota acts as an important metabolic regulator and may play a pivotal role in the onset and progression of PCOS. Patients with PCOS frequently exhibit gut microbiota dysbiosis, which is characterized by reduced microbial diversity, decreased levels of beneficial bacteria, increased levels of pathogenic bacteria, and altered metabolic byproducts. This imbalance may contribute to IR and ovarian dysfunction by activating the toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor kappa B inflammatory pathway, inducing oxidative stress, and disrupting Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signaling. The Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signaling pathway, a key regulator of follicular development, is frequently aberrantly activated in PCOS. In this narrative review, we summarize the recent advances in understanding the roles of the gut microbiota and the Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of PCOS. To this end, we conducted a comprehensive literature search across PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases, covering publications from January 2012 to March 2026. Ninety-eight articles were included after screening. We further explored therapeutic strategies based on microbiome modulation and signaling pathway targeting, including probiotics, traditional Chinese medicine, ginsenosides, puerarin, fecal microbiota transplantation, and nanoparticle-based ginseng-derived exosomes, thereby providing novel insights into potential therapies for PCOS.",

Before nanoparticle synthesis, the phytochemical composition of ginger extract was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with photodiode array detection. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized using aqueous ginger extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The nanoparticles were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis.), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The synthesized silver nanoparticles exhibited a face-centered cubic (fcc) crystalline structure, nanoscale particle size distribution, and moderate colloidal stability. Transmission electron microscopy revealed predominantly quasi-spherical nanoparticles with an average diameter of 10.61 \u00b1 1.31 nm, while X-ray diffraction indicated an average crystallite size of 15.28 \u00b1 5.48 nm. Biological evaluation demonstrated robust, broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, with distinct susceptibility profiles. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values were 3.125 \u00b5g/mL and 12.5 \u00b5g/mL, and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) values were 6.25 \u00b5g/mL and 25.0 \u00b5g/mL, respectively. Cell culture assays confirmed high cytocompatibility with L929 fibroblasts at all tested concentrations. In a fluorometric enzyme assay, the silver nanoparticles inhibited TMPRSS2 activity in a concentration-dependent manner, achieving 51.24% inhibition at 100 \u00b5g/mL and an estimated IC50 of 40.06 \u00b5g/mL. Although the inhibitory activity was lower than that of Camostat, the findings suggest that ginger-mediated silver nanoparticles represent promising plant-based nano-bioactive systems for further investigation of TMPRSS2 modulation.",

Chronic neuroinflammation drives progressive retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss independent of intraocular pressure, yet safe, sustained and precise neuroprotective modulation of the retinal inflammatory microenvironment remains a significant challenge. We developed an injectable fibrin gel delivery system loaded with ginseng-derived exosomes (GE-fibrin gel, GE-gel) to modulate microglial polarization, reduce retinal inflammation and promote RGC survival. In vitro, GE showed strong antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects by getting rid of reactive oxygen species caused by oxidative stress and lowering apoptosis in R28 cells. Both GE and GE-gel stopped lipopolysaccharide from causing pro-inflammatory M1 polarization of microglia and increased anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypic change. Intravitreal injection of GE-gel suppressed pro-inflammatory microglial activation, diminished neuroinflammation and improved the survival of RGCs in a chronic ocular hypertension rat model. These results show that GE-gel could promote microglial polarization, change the immune environment in the retina and protect RGCs functionally over the long term. This approach may hopefully provide promising solutions for rapid and effective glaucoma therapy.",
        "42537739": "ID: 42537739\nTitle: The role of ginsenosides in obesity-associated sarcopenia: Focus on E3 ubiquitin ligase-mediated regulation of protein homeostasis.\nAbstract: Obesity-associated sarcopenia (OAS) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by excessive adiposity accompanied by progressive skeletal muscle loss, largely driven by impaired protein homeostasis. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a central role in this process, with E3 ubiquitin ligases such as Atrogin-1, muscle ring-finger protein 1 (MuRF1), TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), and Parkin acting as key and non-redundant regulators of muscle protein degradation. Increasing evidence indicates that ginseng and its bioactive ginsenosides, including Rg1, Rb1, Rg3, and compound K, exert protective effects against multiple disease through modulation of E3-ligase dependent proteolytic pathways. In this review, we integrate emerging mechanistic insights into how ginseng-derived compounds orchestrate a polypharmacological regulatory network spanning inflammatory, metabolic, mitochondrial, and autophagic signaling axes. In particular, how ginsenosides target critical regulatory nodes, including TRAF6-mediated inflammatory amplification, Forkhead box O (FoxO)-driven transcription of Atrogin-1 and MuRF1, and Parkin-dependent mitochondrial quality control were summarized. Unlike single-target pharmacological agents, ginseng offers a multicomponent therapeutic strategy that simultaneously attenuates protein degradation while supporting anabolic signaling and mitochondrial adaptation. Nevertheless, significant translational challenges persist, including limited bioavailability, insufficient human skeletal muscle data, and poorly defined interactions among individual ginsenosides. Future research should prioritize standardized ginseng formulations and rigorously designed clinical trials to more clearly define its therapeutic potential in the management of OAS.",

However, clinical evidence for combined microneedling-assisted topical protocols in this setting remains limited.ObjectivesThis preliminary pilot observational study explored the short-term feasibility, patient-reported outcomes, tolerability, and qualitative photographic findings associated with a combined microneedling-assisted Panax ginseng exosome protocol with adjunctive inner gel use.DesignSingle-arm preliminary pilot observational study.MethodsFourteen women (mean age, 48.6 years; range, 24-63 years) underwent three treatment sessions at 2-week intervals, followed by a final assessment 2 weeks after the third treatment session, resulting in a total study duration of 6 weeks from baseline to final follow-up for each participant. Microneedling was performed on the vulvar area using a 2-mm dermaroller, followed by topical application of a Panax ginseng exosome formulation. Participants also used an adjunctive inner gel between visits. Outcomes included the Vulvovaginal Symptom Questionnaire (VSQ), the Day-to-Day Impact of Vaginal Aging (DIVA) questionnaire, procedural pain assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS), safety observations, and qualitative clinical photographic assessment.ResultsTotal VSQ score decreased after treatment (mean change, -2.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], -4.76 to -0.95; p = 0.00648). Total DIVA score also decreased (mean change, -5.43; 95% CI, -9.55 to -1.30; p = 0.0138), with significant improvement in the daily activities domain (median change, -2.0; p = 0.00849). The emotion and sexual life domains showed directional decreases but did not reach statistical significance. Procedure-related pain was transient and generally decreased within 30 minutes after treatment. Clinical photographs showed qualitative observational changes in pigmentation intensity and skin tone uniformity. No serious adverse events were observed during the short follow-up period.ConclusionThis small uncontrolled pilot study found that the combined microneedling-assisted Panax ginseng exosome protocol with adjunctive inner gel use was associated with short-term improvements in patient-reported vulvovaginal symptoms and qualitative vulvar skin tone observations. Because of the single-arm design, small sample size, combined intervention, subjective photographic assessment, and short follow-up, these findings should be interpreted as preliminary and hypothesis-generating. Many women experience vulvovaginal symptoms such as dryness, itching, irritation, discomfort, or pain during sexual activity. Some women also have concerns about changes in vulvar skin tone. This small pilot study looked at a combined nonhormonal treatment using microneedling, a topical Panax ginseng exosome product, and home use of an inner gel. Fourteen women took part. Each participant received three treatment sessions, 2 weeks apart, and had a final assessment 2 weeks after the third session. The total study duration was 6 weeks. After treatment, participants reported lower vulvovaginal symptom scores and lower daily impact scores. The daily activities score improved, while emotional well-being and sexual life scores showed decreasing trends but did not significantly improve. Treatment-related pain was temporary and generally decreased within 30 minutes. No serious adverse events were observed during the short follow-up period. Clinical photographs showed visual changes in skin tone in some cases, but these photographs were not measured using objective color tests or blinded grading. Because this study included only 14 participants, had no control group, used a combined treatment, and had short follow-up, the findings should be considered preliminary. Larger controlled studies are needed to confirm safety, durability, and clinical usefulness.",

While surface engineering can enhance tissue accumulation, strategies that preserve biocompatibility and enable scalable production remain limited. Here, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs). The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein. This specific composition drives their tissue-specific accumulation in the intestine and liver and potentiates clathrin-dependent cellular uptake in intestinal cells by 8.57-fold. Beyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform. When loaded with tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) small interfering RNA, they enable a synergistic therapy that combines innate anti-inflammatory activity with targeted gene silencing of TNF-\u03b1, showing potent efficacy in colitis. Our findings position boiling as a natural strategy for enhancing the bioactivity and targeted oral delivery potential of GEVs.",
        "42559350": "ID: 42559350\nTitle: Development of a chitosan/polyethylene oxide/ginger nanocomposite: structural characterization and antibacterial performance.\nAbstract: The development of bio-based antibacterial materials using natural additives is a crucial strategy for reducing reliance on hazardous synthetic chemicals. This study investigated the effect of incorporating ginger nanoparticles (GNPs) at varying concentrations (1, 2, 3, and 4 mL) into a chitosan/polyethylene oxide (PEO) blend to enhance its antibacterial properties. XRD analysis revealed that hydrogen bonding between chitosan and PEO produced a broad peak at 23.60\u00b0. The addition of the GNPs intensified this peak and introduced a sharper feature at 19.00\u00b0, confirming the successful interaction between the nanoparticles and the polymer matrix. FTIR spectroscopy showed new C-O-C vibrational bands at 1107 cm-1 upon blending, with further spectral changes observed after GNP addition, indicating the formation or disappearance of specific functional groups. The incorporation of the GNPs was demonstrated by a new absorption peak at 235 nm, and the semi-crystalline nature of the nanocomposite was confirmed by optical analysis. TEM revealed that the GNPs had diameters of 36.6 \u00b1 13.8 nm, while zeta potential analysis at 25 \u00b0C recorded count rates of 106.8, 71.90, and 83.50 kcps for three distinct particle bands, and the mean was -19.33 mV, with a zeta potential deviation of 14.0 mV. The value of the zeta potential indicated the moderate stability of the GNPs. SEM demonstrated that increasing the GNP concentration led to larger, aggregated particle morphologies, with complete coalescence at the highest concentration. The chitosan/PEO blend exhibited higher thermal stability than pure chitosan, while the final polymer nanocomposite showed reduced residue levels at elevated temperatures. Antibacterial testing against Gram-positive (Enterococcus and Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella) bacteria demonstrated that the GNP-loaded nanocomposite exhibited enhanced antimicrobial activity compared with the pure polymer blend. For Gram-negative bacteria, the activity was small or negligible. These results position the chitosan/PEO/GNP nanocomposite as a promising bio-based material for antibacterial applications.",
        "42567375": "ID: 42567375\nTitle: Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles incorporated into hydrogel matrix for enhanced oral delivery of celastrol to alleviate ulcerative colitis.\nAbstract: Celastrol (Cel), a highly promising natural product isolated from traditional Chinese medicine, exhibits potent therapeutic efficacy against ulcerative colitis (UC). Nevertheless, its poor colon-targeting efficiency, insufficient capacity to penetrate the intestinal mucus layer, and low cellular internalization significantly compromise therapeutic outcomes in UC treatment. To address these critical limitations, herein we rationally designed a exosome-hydrogel hybrid system (Cel-GDNPs@Gel) by first encapsulating Cel into ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDNPs), which were subsequently dispersed within a glycyrrhizic acid (GA) hydrogel matrix. Experimental studies confirmed that GDNPs were successfully isolated and characterized with uniform size distribution and round- or cup-shaped morphology, and Cel was successful encapsulated into GDNPs. The GA hydrogel endowed the system with excellent pH-sensitivity and robust mucoadhesive properties, thereby facilitating enhanced accumulation and prolonged retention at the colon site. Moreover, GDNPs promoted efficient mucus penetration and cellular uptake of Cel. Notably, both GDNPs and GA could exert synergistic therapeutic effects with Cel. Accordingly, in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that Cel-GDNPs@Gel significantly alleviated colitis symptoms, suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, attenuated oxidative stress, regulated macrophage polarization, promoted intestinal mucosal barrier repair, and restored intestinal homeostasis. Furthermore, this delivery system exhibited favorable biosafety with no obvious systemic toxicity. Collectively, this multifunctional Cel-GDNPs@Gel platform offers a safe and effective strategy for the oral treatment of UC."
