  • Resumen

  • Story at-a-glance
    • Genipin, derived from gardenia plants, restores nerve development, and reduces neurodegeneration in patients with familial dysautonomia, a rare genetic disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system
    • Originally discovered as a blue dye source in the 1980s, genipin has evolved from a food science application to a therapeutic compound with several medical applications
    • Genipin works by interacting with the extracellular matrix and reorganizing cellular structure, promoting nerve repair and axon regeneration in both the peripheral and central nervous systems
    • Studies show genipin protects against diabetic retinopathy by controlling advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and reducing oxidative stress, which helps prevent vision loss in diabetic patients
    • In neuroblastoma research, genipin demonstrates significant anticancer properties by triggering cell death and effectively suppressing tumor growth without toxic side effects
