Hesperetin inhibits neuroinflammation on microglia by suppressing inflammatory cytokines and MAPK pathways.

Neuroinflammation is a specific or nonspecific immunological reaction in the central nervous system that is induced by microglia activation. Appropriate regulation of activated microglial cells is therefore important for inhibiting neuroinflammation. Hesperetin is a natural flavanone and an aglycone of hesperidin that is found in citrus fruits.

Mussel adhesive Protein-conjugated Vitronectin (fp-151-VT) Induces Anti-inflammatory Activity on LPS-stimulated Macrophages and UVB-irradiated Keratinocytes.

Background: Skin inflammation and dermal injuries are a major clinical problem because current therapies are limited to treating established scars, and there is a poor understanding of healing mechanisms. Mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs) have great potential in many tissue engineering and biomedical applications. It has been successfully demonstrated that the redesigned hybrid type MAP (fp-151) can be utilized as a promising adhesive biomaterial.
