A new study has revealed how curcumin, a bioactive compound found in Curcuma aromatica (Yujin), can help mitigate neuroinflammation and brain damage caused by epileptic seizures. The study provides valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms through which curcumin regulates the brain's inflammatory response, opening up new avenues for the treatment of epilepsy. Epilepsy, a severe neurological disorder, is characterized by recurrent seizures that not only cause neuronal damage but also activate glial cells, triggering a local immune response. This immune response releases pro-inflammatory factors that contribute to a vicious cycle that worsens the condition. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has long...
