Extracellular Vesicles of Streptococcus anginosus Mediate Gastritis via Epithelial Barrier Disruption and Macrophage‐driven Inflammation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
Streptococcus anginosus extracellular vesicles (SA‐EVs) accumulate in gastric tissue, disrupt epithelial tight junctions, and induce gastritis characterized by neutrophil infiltration and elevated cytokines (TNF‐α, IL‐6, IL‐17A). Proteomics identifies TMPC and FBP62 as key SA‐EVs virulence factors; their genetic deletion attenuates inflammation ...

The Potential Functions and Beneficial Effects of Melatonin on Cognitive Impairment, Neuroinflammation, Blood–Brain Barrier Leakage, and Synaptic Dysfunction in the Offspring of Mice Exposed to Gestational Intermittent Hypoxia

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Melatonin rescues the cognitive deficits induced by gestational intermittent hypoxia exposure in male offspring mice, and these results were associated with neuroinflammation, BBB integrity, and alterations in synaptic function. ABSTRACT Introduction Gestational intermittent hypoxia (GIH), which serves as a model for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is ...

Modulation of transendothelial permeability and expression of ATP-binding cassette transporters in cultured brain capillary endothelial cells by astrocytic factors and cell-culture conditions [PDF]

, 2018
Confluent cell monolayers of brain capillary endothelial cells (BCEC) are used widely as an in vitro cell culture model of the blood-brain barrier. The present study describes the influence of cell-culture conditions on tight junctions, filamentous-actin

Periodontitis and extracellular vesicles: Emerging roles in inflammation, tissue destruction and systemic crosstalk

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Extracellular vesicles released from periodontal tissues and pathogens mediate local inflammation and disseminate systemically via the circulation. By transporting regulatory microRNAs and inflammatory cytokines, these vesicles link periodontitis to systemic inflammatory conditions and represent emerging targets for minimally invasive diagnostics and ...

Antrodia cinnamomea reduces obesity and modulates the gut microbiota in high-fat diet-fed mice. [PDF]

, 2018
BackgroundObesity is associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis, disrupted intestinal barrier and chronic inflammation. Given the high and increasing prevalence of obesity worldwide, anti-obesity treatments that are safe, effective and widely available ...

Atractylodes Macrocephala Polysaccharides Ameliorate Diabetic Hepatorenal Injury and Remodel Gut Microbiota in Mice

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Atractylodes macrocephala polysaccharides alleviate diabetic liver and kidney injury in HFD/STZ‐induced mice by improving gut microbiota composition, restoring intestinal barrier function, and partially correcting disturbed unsaturated fatty acid metabolism.

Crocin Supplementation Mitigates DSS‐Induced Ulcerative Colitis by Promoting Autophagy and Modulating Gut Microbiota in Mice

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Crocin enhanced intestinal barrier integrity and alleviated colonic inflammation in DSS‐induced UC mice. Crocin promoted autophagy by targeting the AMPK/mTOR pathway. Crocin reshaped gut microbiota composition of UC mice. ABSTRACT Crocin has been widely recognized for its anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Therapeutic Galectin‐3 Apheresis Improves Sepsis Outcomes Through Coordinated Neutrophil Modulation and Endothelial Barrier Preservation: A Translational Study

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Gal‐3 apheresis reduces neutrophil hyperactivation (CXCL2/CXCL8, MPO, NETs), preserves endothelial barrier function (tight junctions, vWF/VCAM‐1/ICAM‐1), and attenuates PI3K/AKT/HIF‐1α signaling. These coordinated effects significantly improve hemodynamics, reduce pulmonary edema (ELWI), lower vasopressor and fluid requirements, and increase survival ...
