The ketogenic diet alters microbiome‐metabolome profiles to improve West syndrome therapy

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
The ketogenic diet alleviates West syndrome by reshaping gut microbiota (increasing Bacteroides, Parabacteroides, and reducing Escherichia and Bifidobacterium), and modulating metabolites—including anticonvulsant lipids (e.g., capric acid), suppressed harmful lipids (e.g., 2‐methylbutyroylcarnitine), and amino acids and analogs (e.g., 3‐sulfinoalanine)—

Nanoemulsions for Skin Delivery of Essential Oils: A Systematic Review

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Essential oils (EOs) are recognized for their multiple health benefits. However, their high volatility, low stability, and limited water solubility limit their effective application. This systematic review aims to assess the use of nanoemulsions as delivery systems for the topical administration of EOs, highlighting their efficacy, safety, and

In situ monitoring of cell adhesion kinetics using label‐free optical biosensors: Evaluating anticancer potential and selectivity of natural compounds

VIEW, EarlyView.
The limitations of conventional techniques hinder the identification of natural compounds with anticancer potential in terms of speed, throughput, sensitivity, and capability of continuous monitoring of relevant biological effects. Novel label‐free optical biosensors represent new opportunities in the discovery of drug candidates, eliminating these ...
