Article Synopsis
- Elderflowers have been historically recognized for their anti-inflammatory effects and used to treat ailments like colds and flu.
- The study focused on understanding the connection between the structure of pectic-polysaccharides in elderflowers and their ability to modulate immune responses.
- The findings indicated that specific sugar linkages enhance the flowers’ immunomodulating activity, as changes in their structure (such as removal of certain sugars) affected their bioactivity, but no cytotoxicity was detected.
