With limited resources on Earth The way to sustainability is to take advantage of nature near you to extend life on earth for as long as long
Associate Professor Dr. Artit Chairongdua, Lecturer at the Department of Physiology Faculty of Science Mahidol University, the first Thai scientist to discover that ‘Nano-sized Vesicles’ from the Thai medicinal plant ‘White Krachai’ that Thai people are familiar with, have been used for cooking and as a medicine for a long time. effective once morest colon cancer cells and brain cancer cells
In the past, there have been studies on nano-sized vesicles that create and secreted from animal cells to develop into biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis and is a new target for the treatment of various diseases. widely However, the data and benefits of plant-derived nano-sized vesicles are still limited.
The research group of Associate Professor Dr. Arthit Chairongdua found that Nano-sized vesicles from white galingale have the effect of killing colon cancer cells. but no effect on normal intestinal cells The research has been published in the international academic journal “PLOS ONE”.
In addition to colon cancer cells, it was also found that vesicle from galingale has the ability to kill and inhibit the movement of brain cancer cells, a common type in children. from such findings It shows the potential to develop a vesicle from Krachai for cancer treatment. It is expected that in the next 2-3 years it will be able to extend the results to the animal level.
Associate Professor Dr. Arthit Chairongdua further said that besides white galingale The research group has also studied the benefits of nano-sized vesicle from a popular fruit in Thailand, grapefruit, for the first time found that it has an anti-inflammatory effect on brain cells. This may lead to further development to create new drugs or treatments for various diseases. caused by inflammation of brain cells such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease in the future
The research group hopes that the study of the benefits of vesicle from Thai medicinal plants and fruits will help raise the economy of Thai farmers to grow as well as inspiring new generations of scientists to see the importance of utilizing nature near them And cause further sustainability according to the aspiration of “Wisdom of the Land” of Mahidol University
