Authored by Patricia Marie P. Oliva, Sarleen G. Castro, Joe Anthony H. Manzano, Hayato Ishikawa, and Mario A. Tan, this study explored the therapeutic potential of Pandanus odorifer, revealing that its methanolic extract potently inhibits advanced glycation end products, while three isolated compounds, most notably blumenol C glucoside, significantly reduce Alzheimer's-associated amyloid-β aggregation.

Kasalukuyang nangangailangan ng agarang tulong ang ating mga kapatid sa 𝐊𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐑𝐨𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐳, 𝐑𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐥.

Dahil sa hagupit ng habagat, makapal at malalim na putik ang bumalot sa mga kabahayan at kalsada sa Kasiglahan Village. Maraming pamilya ang nananatiling kulong o stranded sa kanilang mga tahanan at nahaharap ngayon sa matinding panganib sa kalusugan dulot ng kontaminadong tubig-baha at putik.

Makikita sa ibaba ang mga larawan ng kasalukuyang sitwasyon sa komunidad, gayundin ang listahan ng mga kagamitang agarang kinakailangan.

Kumakatok po kami sa inyong mga puso. Sama-sama nating ipabot ang tulong sa mga pamilyang higit na nangangailangan ngayon.
