A 2017 review summarised neuroprotective properties of silymarin in animal models, including: Reduction of amyloidogenic activity (relevant in Alzheimer's research) Anti-inflammatory action in nerve tissue Reduction of oxidative stress in the brain Possible positive effects on cognitive function Possible reduction of stroke risk Whether these effects can be achieved in humans at attainable concentrations of silymarin in particular whether sufficient quantities can cross the blood-brain barrier remains unclear
Together, these results suggest that tumours have an alternative mechanism to acquire cysteine

The yeast deletion collection: a decade of functional genomics
In Gram-negative bacteria, eleven protein (type I-XI 1,2,3,4,5 ), one nucleic acid (type IV 6 ), and three carbohydrates (Wzx/Wzy, ABC transporter, and synthase-dependent 7 ) secretion systems have been described
