Brief Introduction

Salicin is a naturally occurring compound found in the bark of several species of trees, primarily North American in origin, that are from the willow, poplar, and aspen families. White willow, from whose Latin name, Salix alba, the term salicin is derived, is the most well known source of this compound, but it is found in a number of other trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants as well being synthesized commercially. It is a member of the glucoside family of chemicals and is used as an analgesic and antipyretic. Salicin is used as a precursor for the synthesis of salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin.

A colorless, crystalline solid in its pure form, salicin has the chemical formula C13H18O7. Part of its chemical structure is equivalent to the sugar glucose, meaning it is classified as a glucoside. It is soluble, but not strongly so, in water and alcolhol. Salicin has a bitter taste and is a natural analgesic and antipyretic, or fever reducer. In large quantities, it can be toxic, and overdoses may lead to liver and kidney damage. In its raw form, it may be mildly irritating to skin, respiratory organs, and eyes.

Function

1. Salicin is used to ease pain and reduce inflammation.

2. Relieve acute and chronic pain, including headache, back and neck pain, muscle aches, and menstrual cramps; Control arthritis discomforts.

Here we describe the fabrication, and characterization, and modeling of a series of non-mineralized and mineralized CG scaffolds. We then discuss their use in vivo to induce tissue regeneration following injury and in vitro as standardized 3D materials to study the influence of microstructural and mechanical features on cell behaviors such as motility and contraction

We go into the Herbarium with Fabiany Herrara to look at Mongolian fossils. An international team of paleontologists from the United States, China, Japan, Russia and Mongolia, have discovered a new extinct species of plant from the Early Cretaceous (~100–125 million years before present) that appears to be distantly related to living Ginkgo biloba. The new fossils, named Umaltolepis mongoliensis, were collected from ancient peat deposits at the Tevshiin Govi lignite mine in the steppes of central Mongolia. They are very abundant, superbly preserved, and include fossil leaves and shoots as well as peculiar seed-bearing capsules. The field work in Mongolia began in 2011 and is ongoing.
