Obtaining Bioactive Compounds from the Coffee Husk ( L.) Using Different Extraction Methods.

Coffee husks ( L.) are characterized by exhibiting secondary metabolites such as phenolic compounds, which can be used as raw material for obtaining bioactive compounds of interest in food. The objective of this study is to evaluate different methods for obtaining the raw material and extracting solutions of bioactive compounds from coffee husks.

Mexican Strains Differentially Modulate Surface Markers and Cytokine Production in Bone Marrow-Derived Dendritic Cells from C57BL/6 and BALB/c Mice.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are a type of antigen-presenting cells that play an important role in the immune response against , the causative agent of Chagas disease. and studies have shown that the modulation of these cells by this parasite can directly affect the innate and acquired immune response of the host in order to facilitate its biological cycle and the spreading of the species. Many studies show the mechanisms by which modulates DCs, but the interaction of these cells with the Mexican strains of such as Ninoa and INC5 has not yet been properly investigated.

Mineralized layered films of xanthan and chitosan stabilized by polysaccharide interactions: A promising material for bone tissue repair.

Mineralized films are interesting biomaterials to repair bone defects. They can be easily shaped into bone defect and be permeated by body fluids as well as allow cell proliferation. Xanthan and chitosan films mineralized with hydroxyapatite prepared and characterized in this work showed an improved film stability and controlled swelling degree when dipped in different pH buffers.
