Key Findings
- Researchers at Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia, found that papaya-derived nanoparticles (PDENs) have strong anti-inflammatory properties
- Papaya PDENs were stable for up to four weeks in specific storage conditions, making them practical for therapeutic use
- In lab tests, these nanoparticles reduced inflammation markers and were safe for cells, showing potential for treating inflammation
