Mitochondrial dysfunction and redox dyshomeostasis are considered crucial factors causally linked to the pathogenesis of Down syndrome (DS), a human genetic anomaly currently lacking cure, associated with neurodevelopmental deficits in children early onset symptoms aging adults. Several natural plant-derived polyphenolic compounds, known for their neurostimulator, antioxidant anti-inflammatory activities, have been proposed as dietary supplements manage DS-linked phenotypic alterations. However, poor bioavailability rapid metabolism these compounds limited conclusive evidence regarding clinical efficacy individuals DS. Polydatin (PLD), glucoside precursor resveratrol derived from Polygonum cuspidatum, is instead highly bioavailable resistant enzymatic oxidation.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts nerve pathways and affects sensory, motor, autonomic function. There is currently no effective treatment for SCI. SCI occurs within three temporal periods: acute, subacute, chronic. In each period there are different alterations in the cells, inflammatory factors, signaling spinal cord. Many biomaterials have been investigated of SCI, including hydrogels fiber scaffolds, some progress has made using multiple materials. However, limitations when individual treatment, these can be significantly improved by combining treatments with stem cells. order to better understand investigate new strategies its several combination therapies that include materials combined drugs, cytokines, etc. summarized current review.
