Kefir recovered depressive-like behaviour in CantonS lineage of Drosophila melanogaster exposed to chronic unpredictable mild stress protocol.

Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) is a widely accepted method for inducing depressive-like states in animal models. We decided to explore the effects of CUMS on the CantonS lineage of Drosophila melanogaster, which differs from the OregonR lineage in various ways. Additionally, we wanted to investigate the potential benefits of kefir in treating these chronically stressed flies, as previous research has shown promising results in using kefir components for depression treatment.

TiO2 Nanocrystals and Annona crassiflora Polyphenols Used Alone or Mixed Impact Differently on Wound Repair.

Wounds treated with TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) show an improvement in healing time. However, little is known about the parameters that can contribute to this result. On the other hand, the treatment of wounds with polyphenols is widely known.

α-zingiberene, a sesquiterpene from essential oil from leaves of , suppresses inflammatory angiogenesis and stimulates collagen deposition in subcutaneous implants in mice.

α-zingiberene is a phytochemical of the sesquiterpenes class, the major constituent of the essential oil from the leaves of , a plant widely used in traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, tumours, and bacterial infections. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of daily administration of α-zingiberene (0.01, 0.

Topic use of Annona crassiflora Mart. contributes to wound healing due to the antioxidant and proliferative effects of fibroblasts.

Annona crassiflora Mart. is a species native to the Cerrado biome, whose fruit is known as araticum or marolo. Plant parts are widely used in folk medicine to treat inflammation and pain associated with rheumatism, wounds, venereal diseases, snakebites, and microbial infections.

Jararhagin-C, a disintegrin-like protein, improves wound healing in mice through stimulation of M2-like macrophage, angiogenesis and collagen deposition.

Jararhagin-C (Jar-C) is a disintegrin-like protein, isolated from the venom of B. jararaca, with affinity for αβ integrin and the ability to incite processes such as angiogenesis and collagen deposition in vivo. Thus, we raised the hypothesis that this protein could be used as a therapeutic strategy for stimulating the healing of excisional wounds in mice.
