Introduction: What is MeSH®?
MeSH® is:
- an acronym for Medical Subject Headings.
- the U.S. National Library of Medicine’s controlled vocabulary (thesaurus).
- a vocabulary that gives uniformity and consistency to the indexing and cataloging of biomedical literature.
- a distinctive feature of MEDLINE.
- arranged in a hierarchical manner called the MeSH® Tree Structures updated annually.
Who uses MeSH®?
- Searchers of MEDLINE/PubMed, library catalogs, and other databases use MeSH® to assist with subject searching.
- National Library of Medicine (NLM) indexers use MeSH® to describe the subject content of journal articles for MEDLINE.
Catalogers use MeSH® to describe books and audiovisuals in the NLM and other medical library collections (see the Using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH®) in Cataloging online training course).

- CONCLUSION: Nanogel-encapsulated wheatgrass bioactives represent a novel, mechanism-driven, and targetspecific approach for skin cancer therapy, with the potential to advance phytotherapy toward mainstream oncology treatment.
- Bawei Chenxiang Powder (BWCP) is a Tibetan medicine formulation used to treat cardiovascular diseases, has demonstrated clinical efficacy though its material basis remains unclear. In clinical trial, β(1)-adrenergic receptor (β(1)-AR) has been recognized as a key therapeutic target in cardiovascular disease treatment. So, in this work, we engineered a fusion protein by linking the kinase […]
- CONCLUSION: CDD may improve ovarian function and insulin resistance in PCOS-IR mice by modulating the IL6/JAK2/STAT3/FOXO4 signaling pathway.
- Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale L.) is a globally distributed medicinal plant rich in phenolic acids, flavonoids, sesquiterpene lactones and pentacyclic triterpenoids. Preclinical studies indicate that dandelion extracts and isolated constituents exert selective cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic effects against various hematological malignancies, including leukemia and lymphoma, via mechanisms such as ROS generation, mitochondrial apoptosis, cell-cycle arrest and inhibition […]
- Vector-borne diseases are causes of global health concern and mosquitoes are the primary transmitters of health-threatening pathogens. Botanicals are sources of compounds structurally modifiable into versatile hits for novel plant-based insecticides. Carlina oxide (1) is a natural compound isolated from Carlina acaulis L. (Asteraceae) with promising insecticidal potential, whose industrial production is limited by the […]
- CONCLUSION: This hydrogel transcends conventional wound care, harnessing RG's angiogenic magic and centella's collagen-boosting power within a sustainable alginate-eggshell matrix to forge a bioactive bridge between lab bench and bedside. Its triple potential (rapid closure, infection defense, and scar suppression) makes it a promising dressing.
- Chemotherapy-induced senescence-associated tumor microenvironment (S-TME) facilitates colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. This study elucidates the mechanism by which Tianma granule (TMG), a traditional Chinese medicine formula, remodels the S-TME and inhibits CRC, specifically investigating the role of the miR-29a-5p/P53 axis. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) identified 18 bioactive components in TMG, and network pharmacology highlighted P53 […]
- A defining feature of humanity through the Holocene has been our inexorable expansion of agriculture. This increased the supply of provisioning services from our environment, enabling dramatic population expansion and improved living standards, but at great cost to biodiversity and carbon cycling. Several lines of evidence now indicate that global agricultural extent has peaked and […]
- Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, emphasizing the urgent need for innovative therapeutic approaches. This study explores the anticancer potential of ethanolic extract of Bacopa monnieri (B. monnieri) against A549 lung cancer cells. Treatment with various concentrations of B. monnieri for 24 and 48 hours significantly reduced cell viability in a […]
- Homeostasis is the regulatory mechanism for the expression of all genes, the function of all metabolic pathways, the utilization of any essential trace element (TEs), while its disruptions lead to many pathological states. The pathologies include cardiovascular disease, anaemia, diabetes, neurological disorders, and cell death. For this, copper and zinc are two of the major […]
- CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study may help develop an effective treatment for EGFR-TKI-mediated rashes. The findings will be published in academic journals upon the completion of the trial.
- Global demand for quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs)-biocides linked to multidrug resistance-increased in response to the recent outbreaks of covid-19 and African swine fever. To better understand their sources and dynamics in the aquatic environment, we monitored 13 QACs (benzalkonium chloride [BAC]-C8, C10, C12, C14, C16, C18; benzethonium chloride; cetylpyridinium chloride; dialkyldimethylammonium chloride [DDAC]-C8, C10, C12; […]
- Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pluripotent stem cells isolated from human tissues. Due to their strong self-renewal capacity, pluripotency, and immunomodulatory properties, MSCs have garnered significant attention in cell therapy and tissue regeneration. However, cellular senescence induced by replication or external stimuli can impair MSC proliferation and differentiation, making it crucial to develop interventions that […]
- Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz. (A. macrocephala) is a medicinal and edible plant species belonging to the Compositae family. Its rhizome serves both therapeutic and nutritional purposes in China. This investigation led to the isolation of thirteen novel rearranged 9(8→7)-abeo-eudesmane-type sesquiterpenoid dimers (SDs), atramacronins A-M (1-13), three eudesmane-type SDs, atramacronins N-P (14-16), and two previously identified meroterpenoids, […]
- Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are driven by intricate and multifactorial pathophysiological mechanisms, presenting substantial challenges for the development of effective therapeutic strategies. Recent studies have highlighted the therapeutic potential of various traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), which exert vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects that may alleviate clinical symptoms and slow CVD progression. Ziziphora clinopodioides, a traditional herbal […]
