Viral infections in celiac disease: what should be considered for better management.

Following a gluten-free diet (GFD) is known as the main effective therapy available for celiac disease (CD) patients, which in some cases is not enough to heal all patients presentations completely. Accordingly, emerging researchers have focused on finding novel therapeutic/preventive strategies for this disorder. Moreover, previous studies have shown that celiac patients, especially untreated subjects, are at increased risk of developing viral and bacterial infections, which can become a challenge for the clinician.

Review on Biodegradable Aliphatic Polyesters: Development and Challenges.

Biodegradable polymers are gaining attention as alternatives to non-biodegradable plastics to address environmental issues. With the rising global demand for plastic products, the development of non-toxic, biodegradable plastics is a significant topic of research. Aliphatic polyester, the most common biodegradable polyester, is notable for its semi-crystalline structure and can be synthesized from fossil fuels, microbial fermentation, and plants.

The Effect of Photobiomodulation and on THP-1 Derived Macrophage Polarization Treated with Gliadin Peptide.

Photobiomodulation (PBM) and have been shown to be effective in improving inflammatory conditions with positive effects on increasing the population of anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages (MQs). In this study, gliadin-stimulated THP-1 derived MQs were treated with and PBM to evaluate their effects on promoting the polarization of M2 MQs. The human monocyte cell line (THP-1) was differentiated to MQs.

Advancements in Nanoparticle-Based Strategies for Enhanced Antibacterial Interventions.

The escalating global threat of antibiotic resistance underscores the urgent need for innovative antimicrobial strategies. This review explores the cutting-edge applications of nanotechnology in combating bacterial infections, addressing a critical healthcare challenge. We critically assess the antimicrobial properties and mechanisms of diverse nanoparticle systems, including liposomes, polymeric micelles, solid lipid nanoparticles, dendrimers, zinc oxide, silver, and gold nanoparticles, as well as nanoencapsulated essential oils.
