Inorganic Nanomaterials Meet the Immune System: An Intricate Balance

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Metal nanomaterials influence the immune responses, such as cytokine production and T‐cell activity. Unintended immune modulation can have significant consequences while its fine‐tuning may transform the oncology care. Within this review, a critical analysis is offered regarding the nano/immune‐interaction and suggests the future research directions to

Studies on Biological Characteristics of Lactobacillus

Nippon Saikingaku Zasshi, 1974
Lactobacillus casd YIT0091の多剤耐性変異株L. casei PSR3002の人工消化液およびNa-deoxycholateに対する耐性の変化を原株と比較するとともに, 他のLactobacillus, StreptococcusおよびBifidobacteriumの人工消化液耐性を調べ次の成績を得た。1. pHを変えた人工胃液に対する耐性にはL. casei YIT0091およびその耐性変異株間に差がなく, Na-deoxycholate耐性も等しかつた。しかしpH2.7～pH2.5の人工胃液で3時間処理し, 人工腸液に継代した場合, 生菌数の消長に差がみられL. casei PSR3002の誘導期が長くなり, 増殖性もやや低下した。2.
