Microbial‐Immune Interplay in CNS Autoimmune Diseases: Lessons from Animal Models and Clinical Studies

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 2, February 2026.
Mechanism of action of the intestinal microbiota on CNS autoimmune diseases. Environmental factors shape gut microbiota composition; dysbiosis alters microbial metabolites and antigenic signals. These modulate innate and adaptive immunity, affect barrier integrity, and influence CNS‐resident cells such as microglia and astrocytes, contributing to ...

Isolation and characterization of urolithin b from asphaltum [PDF]

Journal of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry, 2019
Asphaltum (vernacular name: Shilajit), is a traditional Ayurvedic medicine used as aphrodisiac. The present study was aimed for extraction, isolation, method development and validation of RP-HPLC method for bioactive compound called urolithin B (benzocoumarin) for Asphaltum. HPLC method was developed with the help of PDA detector for isolated compound.

Bioactive Phenolic Compounds in Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Implications for Cardiovascular Health

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is rich in bioactive polyphenols that exert antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and anti‐atherogenic effects. These compounds improve endothelial function, modulate lipid metabolism, and reduce platelet aggregation, contributing to cardiovascular protection. Regular consumption of phenolic‐rich EVOO, as part of a Mediterranean

Hydrolysable tannin-based diet rich in gallotannins has a minimal impact on pig performance but significantly reduces salivary and bulbo-urethral gland size [PDF]

, 2017
Tannins have long been considered ‘anti-nutritional’ factors in monogastric nutrition, shown to reduce feed intake and palatability. However, recent studies revealed that compared to condensed tannins, hydrolysable tannins (HT) appear to have far less ...
