Article Synopsis
- A hydrogel was created using mung bean protein isolate and κ-carrageenan to encapsulate propolis at two concentrations (1% and 3% w/v).
- The study evaluated the hydrogel's rheological properties and texture, revealing that encapsulation did not alter its chewiness, adhesiveness, or hardness.
- Various techniques confirmed strong electrostatic and covalent interactions in the hydrogel, with results indicating it efficiently encapsulates propolis, boasting over 99% encapsulation efficiency and significant antioxidant activity.
Article Synopsis
- * Various extraction methods, including both alkaline and enzymatic treatments, were tested, with specific enzymes chosen for optimizing polysaccharide extraction at controlled conditions.
- * The resulting polysaccharides were analyzed thoroughly, revealing that sesame hull is a promising and efficient resource for producing oligosaccharides, particularly arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides (AXOS).
Background And Purpose: Extracellular electron transferring (EET) or redox bacteria employ a shuttle of flavins to transfer electrons to the oxygen in the intestinal mucosa. Although clinical studies suggest that the gut microbiome modulates the efficiency of immune checkpoint therapy in patients with cancer, the modulation mechanisms have not been well-characterized yet.
Experimental Approach: In the present study, the oral gavage administration of MR-1 as a prototypic EET bacteria was assayed in a mouse model of lung cancer to determine the effect of EET bacterium on the efficacy of the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1)-immune checkpoint therapy.
Objectives: Stress elicits physiological and neuroendocrine responses mediated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and lateral hypothalamus (LH). However, prolonged stress can dysregulate neuropeptide systems like orexin. This study investigated the effects of temporary and prolonged stress on HPA activity and orexin processing in the rat LH.

Tele-neurology has the potential to provide remote consultations and care for patients with neurological conditions, thereby reducing the burden of travel and improving access to medical care. Despite its growing popularity, there is a lack of research on patient's views on this mode of care delivery in Nigeria.
