[What is Huperzine A]

Huperzia is a type of moss that grows in China. It is related to club mosses (the Lycopodiaceae family) and is known to some botanists as Lycopodium serratum . The whole prepared moss was used traditionally. Modern herbal preparations use only the isolated alkaloid known as huperzine A. Huperzine A is an alkaloid found in huperzia that has been reported to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, an important substance needed by the nervous system to transmit information from cell to cell. Animal research has suggested that huperzine A’s ability to preserve acetylcholine may be greater than that of some prescription drugs. Loss of acetylcholine function is a primary feature of several disorders of brain function, including Alzheimer’s disease . Huperzine A may also have a protective effect on brain tissue, further increasing its theoretical potential for helping reduce symptoms of some brain disorders.

[Function] Used in alternative medicine, huperzine A has been found to act as a cholinesterase inhibitor, a type of medicine used to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine (a chemical essential to learning and memory).

Not only used as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, huperzine A is also said to enhance learning and memory and to protect against age-related cognitive decline.

In addition, huperzine A is sometimes used to boost energy, increase alertness, and aid in the treatment of myasthenia gravis (an autoimmune disorder that affects the muscles).

Just as important as mesenchymal stem cells when it comes to arthritis treatment, are the scaffolds. The combination of stem cells plus scaffolds consisting of biologic materials appears to be a logical strategy for tissue engineering. Biomaterials have been defined at the European Society of Biomaterials Conference in 1987 as ” non-viable materials used in a medical device, intended to interact with biological systems.” What all this means as far as tissue engineering is that using a framework along with stem cells seems to be promising. The logical types of scaffold material are the natural proteins and polysaccharides (sugars) that make up normal connective tissue. These are biocompatible and contain sites where stem cells can congregate. For practical use these materials need to be able to be produced in a consistent manner and they also have to be modified so they provide sufficient mechanical structure to hold up following transplantation.
