Nano-extracts in science
New horizons in medicine: The power of plant nano-extracts
A new hope in cognitive science: micro-support from nature
Purified plant extracts with a particle size of less than 200 nanometers—comparable to the natural messenger structures of our cells—are increasingly becoming the focus of neuroscientific research. Their potential to specifically transmit biological information, even crossing the blood-brain barrier, opens up new perspectives for the functional support of the central nervous system.
Scientific relevance of plant microstructures
In regenerative medicine, these microstructures are considered natural carrier systems that could help stimulate cellular recovery processes. Scientific studies show that they are detectable in blood and other body fluids and can transport biological markers associated with cognitive functions. The early detection of such markers could form a valuable basis for new methods of neurological early diagnosis and monitoring in the future.
Targeted support of the central nervous system
Research is also investigating the possibility of using plant micro-units as vehicles to deliver bioactive substances to hard-to-reach places such as the central nervous system. In particular, they are investigating the extent to which these structures can regulate neuroinflammatory processes and limit the formation or spread of pathological protein accumulations—aspects that play a central role in neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, initial results indicate that certain plant-based nanoformulations may have a supportive effect on cognitive functions and neuronal stability.
More than cognition: A broad range of applications
However, the range of applications for these microstructures extends far beyond the field of cognition. Their potential effects on cellular regeneration, antioxidant protection mechanisms, and the modulation of external influences on the nervous system are also the subject of current studies. Their ability to act as natural information mediators between cells makes them a promising element in the further development of bio-based support systems.
