The ingestion of lactobacilli is of great importance for the probiotic effect of host gut Peyer's patches (PPs) macrophages. The present study is in time focus on the investigation of the factors determining the ingestion of lactobacilli by PPs macrophages. Physicochemical properties of cell surface and adhesive property of nine Lactobacillus strains were examined in the present work. The association of the bacteria with PPs macrophage was checked with macrophage monolayers on coverslips. The influence of lactobacilli on macrophages phagocytic capacity was also investigated with a neutral red uptake assay in vitro. The results show that the macrophages could ingest lactobacilli in a strain dependent manner, and the most ingested strain is L. plantarum Lp6 compared to other tested strains, which displayed strain specific enhancement on the phagocytic activity of PPs macrophages. And there is no correlation between the physicochemical or adhesive properties of the cell surface and the ingestion. The association of L. plantarum Lp6 with PPs macrophage could be decreased by Protease K treatment. Surface proteins of L. plantarum Lp6 could promote the ingestion of fluorescent latex beads by PPs macrophages. In conclusion, the hydrophobicity of the cell surface might not be the key factor determining the association of lactobacilli with PPs macrophages. Cell surface proteins are the media for the binding L. plantarum Lp6 to macrophages.

Background: Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, at both the systemic and the central level, are critical early events in atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Purpose: To investigate the oxidative stress-, inflammation-, and Tau-phosphorylation-lowering effects of pomegranate polyphenols (PPs) (punicalagin, ellagic acid, peel, and aril extracts).
Methods: We used flow cytometry to quantify the protein expression of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β) and anti-inflammatory mediators (IL-10) in THP-1 macrophages, as well as M1/M2 cell-specific marker (CD86 and CD163) expression in human microglia HMC3 cells.

Most infectious diseases are caused by pathogens that invade the body tissues through mucosal tract. Therefore, it is essential to develop effective vaccines administered through the mucosa as a first-line of defense against major infectious diseases. Oral delivery of vaccines is currently of great interest due to its potential to elicit both mucosal and systemic immune responses, high compliance rate and non-invasive nature.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the impact of LED therapy on mdx mice, a model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which shows worsened symptoms with chronic exercise, making it suitable for testing treatments.
- - Mdx mice underwent treadmill training coupled with LED treatment, leading to improved behaviors and muscle function, along with reduced muscle damage and inflammation.
- - Notably, LED therapy shifted macrophage behavior towards better tissue repair and highlighted the connection between calcium, oxidative stress, and inflammation in potentially treating dystrophinopathies.

Peyer's patches (PPs) are B cell-rich sites of intestinal immune induction, yet PP-associated B cell signaling, activation, and differentiation are poorly defined. Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics were completed to study B cells from porcine jejunum and ileum containing PPs. Intestinal locations had distinct immune landscapes, including more follicular B cells in ileum and increased MHC-II-encoding gene expression in jejunal B cells.

Article Synopsis
- A study examined mesenteric lymph nodes and ileocecal valves from 105 goats (61 non-vaccinated, 44 vaccinated) with a history of paratuberculosis (PTB) to assess the presence of subclinical infections and lesions.
- Results revealed that 39% of the goats had gross PTB-compatible lesions, with a higher prevalence in non-vaccinated goats compared to vaccinated ones.
- The research highlighted the importance of using both histopathological assessments and laboratory techniques to accurately diagnose PTB, but calls for further research to improve sampling methods for subclinical cases in goats.
