Plant-derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) offer a promising, biocompatible therapeutic platform. In this study, we isolatednanovesicles from protocorm-like bodies of Dendrobium officinale (PLBs-NVs) and evaluated their efficacy in dry eyedisease (DED) models. PLBs-NVs protected human corneal epithelial cells against hyperosmotic stress, supportedwound repair, and inhibited inflammation in vitro. In a desiccating stress-induced DED mouse model, topical PLBs-NVstreatment significantly restored tear secretion, reduced corneal epithelial damage, and lowered levels of proinflammatorycytokines. These results suggest that PLBs-NVs are a safe, natural, and effective therapeutic strategy for DED, sup-porting their potential for future clinical translation in ocular surface disorders.

Persimmon fruit is highly susceptible to chilling injury (CI) during cold storage. This study was aimed at evaluating the effects of cinnamon bark oil (CBO, 4 μM) fumigation, modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), and a combination of CBO and MAP on CI of ‘Fuyu’ persimmons. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis revealed changes in the peel surface of CBO fumigated persimmons. Peel and flesh CI incidence and CI index were significantly reduced with a combined application of CBO and MAP. CBO + MAP exhibited lower ethylene production, malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and lipoxygenase (LOX) activity, maintained higher flavonoids, and upregulated the ascorbate …
