Diet–Microbiome–Immune Interactions at the Gut Mucosa in Food Allergy: Mechanisms, Gaps, and Therapeutic Implications

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mucosal surfaces are sites of highly dynamic interactions among epithelial and immune cells, environmental exposures, particularly dietary inputs, and the diverse microbial communities and their metabolites. These elements continually influence each other to maintain homeostasis and ensure appropriate immune discrimination between pathogens ...

Therapeutic potential of natural products in cancer immunotherapy: Advances and challenges

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This review systematically outlines the mechanisms underlying tumour immunotherapy resistance and elucidates the role of natural products in enhancing therapeutic efficacy as immunomodulatory adjuvants. Abstract Immunotherapy has emerged as a clinically pivotal approach in cancer treatment, but its application remains limited to a small subset of ...

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

Re‐thinking peripheral dysfunctions in obesity: The emerging role of sulphaceutics and sulphanutraceutics

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Obesity is a chronic, relapsing, multisystem disease in which cardiometabolic risk arises from excess adiposity and progressive dysfunction of peripheral organs, ultimately disrupting endocrine and metabolic crosstalk among tissues. Within this network, sulphur‐based biology, centred on hydrogen sulphide and related reactive sulphur species, has ...

Microbial Fuel Cell

Research Journal of Biotechnology, 2023
There is global crisis due to fuel depletion and environmental pollution. The dependency on fossils for fuels is unsustainable due to its finite nature, so researchers are studying alternative sources of energy that are renewable in nature. A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is the device used to generate energy by converting chemical energy into electrical ...

Microbial fuel cells

Biochemical Society Transactions, 1983
Microbial fuel cells containingProteus vulgaris and oxidation-reduction (“redox”) mediators were investigated. The bacteria were chemically immobilized onto the surface of graphite felt electrodes, which supported production of continuous electric current and could be reused after storage A computer-controlled carbohydrate feed system enabled the cell ...

Miniaturizing microbial fuel cells

Trends in Biotechnology, 2011
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) represent an emerging technology for electricity generation from renewable biomass. Given the demand for a better understanding of the bio/inorganic interface that plays a key role in MFC energy production, small-scale MFCs are receiving considerable attention owing to their intrinsic advantages in both fundamental studies ...

Microbial Fuel Cells

2011
Although it has been more than two centuries since Luigi Galvani made the first observations of bioelectrical phenomenon, it is only in recent years that microbial fuel cells, or, more generally, bioelectrochemical systems, have attracted wide attention as devices that use microorganisms to assist a vast array of processes – from energy recovery from ...

In Situ Fuel Processing in a Microbial Fuel Cell

ChemSusChem, 2012
AbstractA microbial fuel cell (MFC) was designed in which fuel is generated in the cell by the enzyme glucoamylase, which is displayed on the surface of yeast. The enzyme digests starch specifically into monomeric glucose units and as a consequence enables further glucose oxidation by microorganisms present in the MFC anode.

Microbial Fuel Cells:  Methodology and Technology

Environmental Science & Technology, 2006
Microbial fuel cell (MFC) research is a rapidly evolving field that lacks established terminology and methods for the analysis of system performance. This makes it difficult for researchers to compare devices on an equivalent basis. The construction and analysis of MFCs requires knowledge of different scientific and engineering fields, ranging from ...
