Exopolysaccharides from Limosilactobacillus reuteri: their influence on in vitro activation of porcine monocyte-derived dendritic cells - brief report.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory potential of two α-D-glucans from Limosilactobacillus reuteri L26 Biocenol™ (EPS-L26) and L. reuteri DSM17938 (EPS-DSM17938), with respect to their influence on in vitro activation of porcine dendritic cells (DCs). We used immature DCs differentiated from porcine blood monocytes under in vitro conditions.

Exploring the Diverse Biological Properties of Cannabidiol: A Focus on Plant Growth Stimulation.

The aim of the current study was to compare some biological activities of edible oils enriched with 10 % of cannabidiol (CBD samples) from the Slovak market. In addition, hemp, coconut, argan, and pumpkin pure oils were also examined. The study evaluated the fatty acids content, as well as antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, and phytotoxic activities.

Immunomodulatory effect of probiotic exopolysaccharides in a porcine in vitro co-culture model mimicking the intestinal environment on ETEC infection.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory effect of EPS-L26 isolated from the probiotic strain Lactobacillus (Limosilactobacillus) reuteri L26 Biocenol™, in a model of infection with an enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) by establishing monocultures consisting of the IPEC-J2 cell line or monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) and creating a 3D model of cell co-cultures established with IPEC-J2 cells and moDCs. The immunomodulatory and immunoprotective potential of used EPS-L26 was confirmed in monocultures in an experimental group of pretreated cells, where our study showed that pretreatment of cells with EPS-L26 and subsequent exposure to infection resulted in significantly down-regulated mRNA levels of genes encoding inflammatory cytokines compared to ETEC challenge in single cell cultures (in IPEC-J2, decreased mRNA levels for TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-12p35; in moDCs, decreased mRNA levels for IL-1β).

Antibacterial activity, quality and stability study of creams with new potential silver(I) complexes and case report.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity, quality and stability of creams (at 1 % concentration) prepared with synthesized silver(I) complexes: [Ag(Nam)]NO·HO ( AgNam), [Ag(HGly)](NO) (AgGly) (Nam - nicotin-amide, Gly - glycine) and silver(I) sulfadiazine (AgSD), which is commercially available. Antibacterial activity was evaluated by agar well diffusion method and in case. The pure silver(I) complexes as well as all three tested creams loaded with AgGly, AgSD and AgNam showed antibacterial potential.
