Streptococci, Lactococci and Enterococci all produce L-rhamnose-containing cell wall polysaccharides which define Lancefield serotypes and represent promising candidates for the design of glycoconjugate vaccines. The L-rhamnose containing Enterococcal Polysaccharide Antigen (EPA), produced by the opportunistic pathogen Enterococcus faecalis, plays a critical role in normal growth, division, biofilm formation, antimicrobial resistance, phage susceptibility, and innate immune evasion. Despite the critical role of this polymer in E.

Background: Melatonin has been shown to be neuroprotective in different animal models of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. However, its exact molecular mechanism of action remains unknown. Our aim was to prove melatonin's short- and long-term neuroprotection and investigate its role on the AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase)/mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) pathway following neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.

Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is the most common cause of long-term disability in term neonates, and white matter injury is the primary cause of cerebral palsy. Therapies that focus on the neuroprotection of myelination and oligodendrocyte proliferation could potentially ameliorate long-lasting neurological impairments after hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Clemastine, a histamine H1 antagonist, has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury by promoting oligodendrogenesis and re-myelination.

Faba beans ( L.), integral to the legume family, are a significant component of the global pulse market because of their nutritional richness and positive health implications. While existing reviews have extensively covered the nutritional composition and anti-nutritional factors of faba beans, and their utilization in food product development, the insights into the optimization of processing methods and upcycling the wastewater during faba bean processing remain insufficient.
