Immunological and periodontal benefits of prebiotic polydextrose in rats with induced periodontitis

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Prebiotic therapy is a promising approach for managing periodontitis due to its potential benefits in modulating the microbiome and the immune response. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the prebiotic (PREB) polydextrose (PDX) on the development of experimental periodontitis (EP) in rats.

Claudins in Retinal Disease: Beyond Barrier Integrity to Signaling and Therapy

Cells
The blood–retinal barrier (BRB) maintains neurovascular homeostasis by regulating solute and ion exchange between the retina and circulation. This selectivity depends on tight junctions (TJs), with claudin (Cldn) proteins forming the core structure that ...

Localization of claudins in z-axis plane in control and claudin-2 knockout cells.

, 2015
Immunofluorescence analysis of claudins and occludin in co-culture of control MDCK II cells and claudin-2 knockout clone 1 (KO 1) in z-axis plane. The signals of claudin-1, -3, -4 and -7 were stronger at TJs in claudin-2 knockout cells compared with ...

Matrine Attenuates Neurological Deficits and Neuroinflammation by Inhibiting the HMGB1/RAGE Axis and Ferroptosis in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Mice

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a life‐threatening stroke subtype that lacks effective drug therapy. In the context of ICH, neuroinflammation, and ferroptosis are key contributors to secondary brain injury. In this study, we assessed the neuroprotective effects of matrine (MAT) and its mechanism of action involving the HMGB1/RAGE axis in an ...

Toxicity Differences Between Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Organs: From Molecular Mechanisms to Potential Therapeutic Strategies

Med Research, EarlyView.
This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...

Diagnostic Value of Glycocalyx Shedding in Blood for Differentiating between Parkinson's Disease and Multiple System Atrophy

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Blood–brain barrier disruption is increasingly recognized in synucleinopathies, but the role of the endothelial glycocalyx (GLX) in Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) remains unclear. Objectives The aim was to determine whether plasma GLX markers differ between PD, MSA, and healthy controls (HC), relate to ...

Phytochemicals in MASLD: A Focused Review of Gut Microbiome‐Linked Mechanisms

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has emerged as a major global health burden, yet effective pharmacological options remain limited. Recent advances highlight the gut microbiome as a key modulator of liver metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis, making it a promising therapeutic target.

The Role of Polyphenols in Respiratory and Gut Health: From the Perspective of Gut‐Lung Axis

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gut‐lung axis constitutes a dynamic, multidirectional communication platform between the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. Its complexity arises from the integrated crosstalk among the microbiota, immune system, and redox homeostasis, collectively influencing disease susceptibility and progression.
