Article Synopsis
- Autophagy is a vital cellular process that helps maintain balance and remove damaged components, and its dysfunction is linked to diseases like cancer and metabolic syndromes.
- Studies suggest propolis, known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, may also influence autophagy, but this aspect hasn't been widely explored yet.
- This review aims to examine how propolis affects autophagy in biological models, which could lead to new propolis-based nutritional products and therapies.
Background: Dementia is a neurocognitive disorder associated with the aging brain and mainly affects the hippocampus and cerebral cortex. The Hippo signaling pathway and autophagy proteins have been found to be perturbed in the brain affected by dementia processes.
Objective: This systematic review aims to elaborate on the involvement of the Hippo signaling pathway and autophagy in modulating the progression and severity of dementia in aging.
In recent years, research has demonstrated the efficacy propolis as a potential raw material for pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. There is limited report detailing the mechanisms of action of propolis and its bioactive compounds in relation to their anti-inflammatory properties. Thus, the aim of the present review is to examine the latest experimental evidence (2017-2022) regarding the anti-inflammatory properties of propolis.

Propolis has been used by humans therapeutically to treat many ailments including respiratory tract-related diseases and disorders. The aim of the present systematic scoping review is to evaluate the experimental evidence to support the use of propolis as a primary or an adjunctive therapy in respiratory tract-related diseases and disorders.
