Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...

Epigenetic Predictors of Smoking: External Validation and Association With Smoking‐Related Cancer Risk

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tobacco smoking has a strong influence on DNA methylation (DNAm), enabling the development of DNAm‐based smoking predictors, yet external evaluations of these have remained limited. We aimed to assess six DNAm‐based smoking predictors in a large sample of middle‐aged and older Australians for (i) their accuracy and reliability, and (ii) their ...

Anion Conducting States of Excitatory Amino Acid Transporters [PDF]

, 2013
Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) are secondary active, electrogenic transporters which translocate L-glutamate (glu) against its concentration gradient using the co-transport of 3 Na+, 1 H+, and the counter-transport of 1 K+ ion.

Engineered 3D cultured human nasal mucosa mesenchymal stem cell derived sEVs for targeted brain‐derived neurotrophic factor delivery to enhance neurogenesis and attenuate brain damage

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
This study successfully developed and evaluated BDNF@RVG‐sEVs, a novel brain‐targeted nanomedicine based on hnmMSC‐derived sEVs, designed to overcome the BBB and enhance neurorestoration. By integrating RVG for enhanced brain targeting and encapsulating BDNF for potent neurorepair, our system address the key limitations of the conventional sEVs and ...
