Colon‐Targeted Natural Polysaccharide‐Berberine Armored Hydrogel for the Treatment of Colitis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
In this research, a novel hydrogel system targeting the colon is developed, incorporating Rhubarb polysaccharides and berberine‐loaded dendrimer. This hydrogel, forms through intermolecular hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions, accumulates in colonic tissues, effectively alleviating pathological immune hyperactivation while modulating gut ...

Characterization of GH2 and GH42 β-galactosidases derived from bifidobacterial infant isolates

AMB Express, 2019
Bifidobacteria are among the first and most abundant bacterial colonizers of the gastrointestinal tract of (breast-fed) healthy infants. Their success of colonising the infant gut is believed to be, at least partly, due to their ability to metabolize ...

Advanced Oral Delivery Systems for Nutraceuticals

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Emerging delivery technologies are explored to overcome barriers to oral nutraceutical absorption. Traditional carriers are compared with novel platforms including biodegradable polymers, MOFs, MPNs, and 3D printing. These systems enhance bioavailability, control release, and enable personalized nutrition.

Nutrition and Microbiome

, 2022
The prevalence of overweight and obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally over the past few decades. The search for new management approaches continues and among them, targeting the gut microbiota can be envisioned. To date, numerous data showed the involvement of the gut microbes in the regulation and control of host metabolism.
