Impairment of gut barrier integrity is associated with the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, and coeliac disease. While many aspects of diet have been linked to improved barrier function, (poly)phenols, a broad group of bioactive phytochemicals, are of potential interest. The (poly)phenolic sub-class, flavan-3-ols, have been investigated in some detail owing to their abundance in commonly consumed foods, including grapes, tea, apples, cocoa, berries, and nuts.

- WHO Grade 2 meningiomas pose diagnostic and management challenges, with surgery (particularly gross total resection) being essential, often followed by adjuvant radiotherapy, though the effectiveness of this combination is still under investigation.
- A systematic review analyzed data from 23 studies involving 3,822 patients, comparing outcomes of gross total resection alone versus with adjuvant radiotherapy and found that the combination significantly improved progression-free survival, though overall survival needs more research to determine if there's a substantial benefit.
- The study concludes that adjuvant radiotherapy enhances progression-free survival for WHO Grade 2 meningiomas, and future treatments should consider molecular characteristics to improve management strategies.
The demand for bioactive secondary metabolites of natural origin is increasing every day. Micropropagation could be a strategy to respond more quickly to market demands, regardless of seasonality. This research aims to evaluate in vitro-grown plants of two hop varieties, namely Columbus and Magnum, as a potential source of bioactive compounds.

It is unknown whether bergamot-based beverages exert similar effects in healthy subjects. : To assess the effects, if any, of a bergamot-based beverage (BBB, bergamot juice ≤25%) on lipid, metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFMilk holds a high nutritional value and is associated with diverse health benefits. The understanding of its composition of (poly)phenolic metabolites is limited, which necessitates a comprehensive evaluation of the subject. This study aimed at analyzing the (poly)phenolic profile of commercial milk samples from cows and goats and investigating their sterilization treatments, fat content, and lactose content.
