Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...

Discovery of Rhubarb Anthraquinones Physcion and Rhein as Functional Inhibitors of TRPV1 Against Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Neuroinflammation

Molecules
Neuroinflammation, mediated by microglia and astrocytes, is an abnormal immune reaction in central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Stimulation of TRPV1 has been found to enhance microglial activation, resulting in a pro-inflammatory response.
