Curcumin reduced oxidative stress and promoted neural differentiation in cultured stem cells in vitro.
This in vitro study tested curcumin's effects on C17.2 neural stem cells exposed to oxidative stress. Curcumin-treated cells showed improved survival, reduced reactive oxygen species levels, enhanced antioxidant markers, and promoted differentiation into neurons and astrocytes, with apparent involvement of the Wnt3α/β-catenin/Cyclin D1 signaling pathway.
