Extra-cellular polysaccharides (EPSs) have excellent immunomodulatory functions. In order to further promote their application, we studied the ability of extra-cellular polysaccharides from different sources to regulate immunity. We studied the association of extra-cellular polysaccharides with immune factors (Interleukin (IL-2, IL-4, IL-10), Interferon γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Immunoglobulin A (IgA), and Immunoglobulin G (IgG)) and different concentrations of EPSs and interfering media on experimental results by using a forest plot under fixed-effect or random-effects models. Through Google, PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, and Medline, from 2000 to 2021, 12 articles were included. We found that exopolysaccharides (from bacteria or fungi) could significantly increase the immune index of spleen and thymus, spleen index (SMD: 2.11, ‘95%CI: [1.15, 3.08]’; p < 0.01), and thymus index (SMD: 1.62, ‘95%CI: [0.93, 2.32]’; p = 0.01 < 0.05). In addition, exopolysaccharides had a significant effect on TNF-α (SMD: 0.94, ‘95%CI: [0.29, 1.59]’; p = 0.01 < 0.05). For IL-4 (SMD: 0.49, ‘95%CI: [0.01, 0.98]’; p = 0.046 < 0.05), extra-cellular polysaccharides had a statistically significant effect on immunity. Although the data of other immune factors were not ideal, the comprehensive analysis showed that exopolysaccharides also had an effect on the release of these five immune factors. In the sub-group analysis, different concentrations of EPSs affected the results of experiments on the spleen and thymus, and the CY intervention had a relatively significant effect on immune regulation. Taken together, our study highlighted that EPSs have a significant impact on immune regulation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated a glycoprotein (GP) derived from marine sources for its anti-inflammatory effects on various cell types and mouse models.
- GP treatment reduced the expression of key inflammatory markers like iNOS and COX-2, as well as decreased the production of nitric oxide and prostaglandins in response to inflammatory stimuli.
- Results showed that GP inhibited the NF-κB signaling pathway and MAPK activation, leading to significant decreases in inflammation, making it a potential candidate for natural anti-inflammatory therapies.

In order to investigate the role of in macrophage polarization, mouse leukemia cells of monocyte macrophage (RAW264.7) were treated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS)+ interferon gamma (IFNγ) or IL-4 to induce type 1 macrophage (M1) and type 1 macrophage (M2) macrophages, respectively. The gene knockout cells () were used for the study.

Article Synopsis
- Methylation analysis was conducted on methylated alditol acetate standards and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from different strains of Streptococcus mutans, including both wild-type and Gtf knockout strains.
- The methylated alditol acetate standards helped to calibrate the GC-MS system and establish the molar response factor required for accurate quantitative analysis.
- The study found that while FID response factors aligned with previous literature and were the best option for quantitative results, TIC response factors also provided a valuable alternative for researchers lacking access to an FID detector, ultimately enabling the analysis of linkage types in biofilms.

The economic burden of chronic wounds, the complexity of the process of tissue repair and the possibility of resistant bacterial infections, have triggered a significant research interest in the application of natural alternative therapies for wound healing. Biomolecules are intrinsically multi-active, as they affect multiple mechanisms involved in tissue repair phenomenon, including immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, cell proliferation, extra cellular matrix remodeling and angiogenesis. Chitosan features a unique combination of attributes, including intrinsic hemostatic, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory properties, that make it an exceptional candidate for wound management, in the development of wound dressings and scaffolds.
