Introduction: Inflammation is one of the main causes of impaired health in livestock and some of its processes weaken animal productivity and impact human health. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of echinacea extract (cichoric acid - CA) on yak peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), inflammatory-related factors, and the toll-like receptor (TLR)4 signalling pathway induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in these PBMCs.
Material And Methods: Yak PBMCs were co-cultured with LPS and CA .
The miR-145-5p/CD36 pathway mediates PCB2-induced apoptosis in MCF-7 cells.

Background: Procyanidin B2 (PCB2) can increase the levels of anti-inflammatory and immune mediators.
Objectives: However, its molecular mechanism in human breast cancer remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the antitumor effect of PCB2 on MCF-7 cells and to examine the underlying mechanism.
