The antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects of silver nanoparticles synthesised from cotyledon orbiculata aqueous extract
(MDPI, 2021)Cotyledon orbiculata, commonly known as pig’s ear, is an important medicinal plant of South Africa. It is used in traditional medicine to treat many ailments, including skin eruptions, abscesses, inflammation, boils and ... -
The antioxidant and in vitro wound healing activity of cotyledon orbiculata aqueous extract and the synthesized biogenic silver nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2022)The synthesis of silver nanoparticles using biogenic methods, particularly plants, has led to the discovery of several effective nanoparticles. In many instances, plant-derived silver nanoparticles have been shown to ... -
Apoptosis in cancer cells is induced by alternative splicing of hnrnpa2/b1 through splicing of bcl-x, a mechanism that can be stimulated by an extract of the South African medicinal plant, cotyledon orbiculata
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020)Alternative splicing is deregulated in cancer and alternatively spliced products can be linked to cancer hallmarks. Targeting alternative splicing could offer novel effective cancer treatments. We investigated the effects ...
