Abstract
Dear readers and authors,
I am pleased to bring you volume 7, issue 4 of Pharmacognosy Com- munications. In this issue we present 5 new original research reports examining the pharmacognosy of several important medicinal plants including reports on: the pharmacognostic features and phytochemical fingerprints of some unconventional green leafy vegetables native to DR Congo; the effects of some herbal extracts on the function and histopa- thology of carbon tetrachloride treated kidneys; the effects of the tradi- tional Chinese medicine gengniananluyin (which consists of Leonurus- cardiaca spp. (motherwort), Fructuspsoraleae spp., Herbacistanches spp., Fructuscnidii spp., Lycium spp. (goji berry, wolfberry) fruit, Morinda officinalis, Astragalusmongholicus spp.and Rhizomacyperi spp.) on osteo- blast ERα and ERβ expression, and thus its potential in the treatment of osteoarthritis; the growth inhibitory activity of extracts prepared from the New Zealand plant Pseudowintera colorata against the bacte- rial triggers of some autoimmune diseases; the anti-aging properties of the freshwater algae Chlorella emersonii KJ725233 and its potential as a cosmeceutical.
