Abstract in brief

  • Ashwagandha leaf extracts can protect brain-derived cells from oxidative stress and help them mature into different cell types.
  • The study found that both alcoholic and water extracts, along with a compound called withanone, helped safeguard glial and nerve cells, especially at low doses, and encouraged their differentiation.
