A Simulated Microgravity Environment Causes a Sustained Defect in Epithelial Barrier Function. [PDF]

, 2019
Intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) junctions constitute a robust barrier to invasion by viruses, bacteria and exposure to ingested agents. Previous studies showed that microgravity compromises the human immune system and increases enteropathogen virulence.

Gut‐microbiota‐brain Axis and post‐traumatic epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract There has been growing evidence that perturbations in gut‐microbiota‐brain axis (GMBA) are involved in mechanisms of chronic sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This review discusses the connection between GMBA and post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE), the latter being a common outcome of TBI.

Diversity in protein–protein interactions of connexins: emerging roles [PDF]

, 2004
Gap junctions, specialised membrane structures that mediate cell-to-cell communication in almost all tissues, are composed of channel-forming integral membrane proteins termed connexins.

Current Advancements of Probiotic Foods and Their Role in Sustainable Food Security

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Probiotic foods have evolved from traditional fermented products to scientifically validated functional foods, defined by the FAO and WHO as live microorganism that confer a health benefit on the host when administered in adequate amounts, with effects being strain, does and end point specific.

Bitter Melon Polysaccharides Enhance Goblet Cell Function and Mucosal Integrity in DSS‐Induced Colitis Through Microbiota Remodeling

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bitter melon polysaccharides (BMPs), a key bioactive component of bitter melon, exhibit a range of biological activities including gut microbiota regulation, immune modulation, and antioxidant activity. Based on previous evidence of its protective effect on the colonic mucus barrier under high‐fat‐diet condition, this study evaluated the ...

Resveratrol Ameliorates Allergic Rhinitis by Activating SIRT1 to Disrupt the Mitochondrial ROS‐Inflammation Vicious Cycle

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that resveratrol alleviates allergic rhinitis by activating SIRT1, thereby disrupting the mitochondrial ROS‐inflammatory cycle, improving mitochondrial function, promoting anti‐inflammatory M2 macrophage polarisation, and reducing epithelial oxidative damage.
