Ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized wildtype (WT) and endotoxin-resistant (ER) mice developed similar degrees of airways eosinophilia and serum OVA-specific IgE levels after acute aerosolized OVA challenge. WT mice demonstrated methacholine hyperreactivity, whereas ER mice showed no change in responsiveness. With chronic aerosolized OVA challenge, both WT and ER mice developed local tolerance, with resolution of airway eosinophilia but persistence of anti-OVA IgE in serum. Thus, the development of local tolerance with chronic aerosol exposure to OVA is independent of any potential effects of endotoxin in the OVA aerosol solution.

Exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by lactic acid bacteria with immunomodulatory potential are promising natural food additives. This study employs small-scale, 250 mL bioreactors combined with a central composite design to optimise two important bioprocess parameters, namely temperature and airflow, to achieve high yields of biomass and EPS from Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus LRH30 (L. rhamnosus LRH30).

Background: 4-(4-Cyanophenyl)-2-(2-cyclopentylidenehydrazinyl)thiazole (remodelin) is a potent N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) inhibitor. This compound inhibits tumors and weakens tumor resistance to antitumor drugs. Moreover, remodelin has been found to enhance healthspan in an animal model of the human accelerated ageing syndrome.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a chronic condition encompassing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver (MASL) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), which can progress to fibrosis, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The heterogeneous and complex nature of MASLD complicates optimal drug development. Ebastine, an antihistamine, exhibits antitumor activity in various types of cancer.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a significant brain disease with a high mortality and disability rate. Additional therapies for AIS are urgently needed, and neuroplasticity mechanisms by agents are expected to be neuroprotective for AIS. As a major active component of Salvia miltiorrhiza, salvianolic acid A (SAA) has shown potential for preventing cardiovascular diseases.
