Crocetin Regulates Functions of Neural Stem Cells to Generate New Neurons for Cerebral Ischemia Recovery (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 20/2023)

Crocetin In article 2203132 by Ying Hao, Guosheng Cheng, Rui Tan, and co-workers, Crocetin, naturally extracted from the plant Saffron, acts as a neuroprotective agent for neurodegenerative diseases. It can activate subventricular zone neurogenesis and neuronal precursor differentiation in the damaged cortex and striatum sites to repair injured neurons and enhance the functional motor behavior of ischemic stroke rats.
