Uric Acid in Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 189-206, June 2026.
MASLD is the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide, yet effective pharmacological treatments remain limited. Hyperuricemia is now recognized as a key driver of hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis, with elevated serum uric acid levels independently predicting hepatocellular carcinoma and liver‐related mortality.

Effect of osmotic dehydration in the carbohydrate mixtures containing fructooligosaccharides on the oligosaccharide content of apples

Apples (Idared) were subjected to osmotic dehydration in: a) 50% solutions of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) at 40–70 °C (apple/solution 1/2), b) 50% solution of FOS at 40 °C using different amount of solution (apple-solution ratio from 1/2 to 1/5), c) 50 ...

Probiotic supplementation during pregnancy for vaginal microbiota improvement and pathogen clearance: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 6, Page 999-1016, June 2026.
Probiotic supplementation during pregnancy shows a modest, non‐robust increase in Group B Streptococcus decolonization, with no consistent benefit for bacterial vaginosis or vulvovaginal candidiasis. Probiotics may serve as a non‐antibiotic adjunct, but standardized regimens and ecological diagnostic frameworks are required.

In vitro fermentability of prebiotic oligosaccharides by lactobacilli

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2011
Twelve strains of lactobacilli were tested for their growth and ability to utilise six prebiotics (pure substances and commercially available prebiotics) as a sole carbon source. All strains showed a considerable growth on all prebiotics tested.

Evaluation of a Dermocosmetic Serum for Managing Hyperpigmentation Disorders in Phototypes IV‐VI Individuals From South Africa and Argentina

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Hyperpigmentation disorders are a distressing condition, especially for individuals with skin of color who are at higher risk. Often treated topically, a significant advancement in this field was Kligman's depigmenting trio, inhibiting melanogenesis, providing anti‐inflammatory benefits, and promoting epidermal renewal.

Selection of membranes for purification of fructooligosaccharides

Desalination and Water Treatment, 2011
The aim of this study was to purify fructooligosaccharides (FOS) present in a mixture of sugars, containing also glucose, fructose and sucrose through, nanofiltration membranes. Four membranes were used: NP010 and NP030 (Microdyn Nadir, Germany), Desal−5 DL and Desal−5 HL (GE Water & Process Technologies).

Application of a novel ingredient Blend promotes hair growth by modulating Wnt/β‐catenin signaling, DP inductivity, and boosting elastin expression in healthy human scalp hair follicles ex vivo

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Elastin is an emerging yet underexplored regulator of human hair follicle (HF) physiology. This study evaluated a novel multi‐compound Blend for its elastogenic and hair growth–promoting effects in ex vivo human HFs, compared with isopropyl cloprostenate (IPC), a prostaglandin analog used in cosmetic lash growth formulations ...
