Nicotine Regulates LPS‐Induced Inflammatory Responses in HMC3 Microglia and Exerts Neuronal Protection

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Microglia‐mediated neuroimmune responses have been implicated in central nervous system injury and disease pathogenesis. The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR), which is expressed on microglia and participates in microenvironment interactions, is a key mediator of the cholinergic anti‐inflammatory pathway.

Bioenergy Potential of Europe's Perennial and Biennial Wildflowers: A Combustion Performance Benchmark

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.
Eight wild plant species were investigated as co‐substrates for pellet combustion. A long‐term field trial examined dry matter yield and biochemical composition, influencing combustion properties. Results show suitable combustion properties, comparable to Sida, with higher ash melting temperatures than Miscanthus, due to elevated calcium and magnesium.

Generation of Potential Therapeutic Lactobacillus Derived Exopolysaccharides as Functional Food Ingredients That May Aid in the Control of Chronic Inflammation and Inflammatory Bowel Disease

eFood, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.
Exopolysaccharides (EPS) from Lactobacillus strains LB327, LKF13, and LRH28 were produced in MRS media and characterized by FTIR, revealing typical protein and carbohydrate peaks. In LPS‐stimulated in vitro murine models, EPS reduced IL‐1β and TNF‐α, increased IL‐10 and IL‐6, showing anti‐inflammatory potential for managing chronic inflammation ...
