In this study, newly isolated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were screened for the potential bioremediation capacity against toxic lead (Pb, II) and cadmium (Cd, II) with their bioaccessibility and survivability. Five strains were selected from eighteen previously isolated probiotic LAB strains based on heavy metal-resistant potentiality through in vitro disc-diffusion assay. These five strains were evaluated in vitro to explore the Pb and Cd binding and removal efficiencies using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. At the same time, their bioaccessibility and survivability were assessed in a dynamic in vitro gastrointestinal digestion model. The results revealed that all the tested strains were shown to have a high magnitude of minimum inhibitory concentration values ranging from 500 to 2000 mg/L with 5 to 25 mm growth inhibition zones. The results also demonstrated a significant (P < 0.05) removal of Pb and Cd among five tested LAB strains. Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus LDMB02 showed the highest removal rates of Pb and Cd. It was also revealed that these strains significantly reduced Pb and Cd bioaccessibility from 42 to 50% and 40 to 58%, respectively. Moreover, these strains were shown to have significant survivability against Pb and Cd, ranging from 80.1 to 85.4% and 81.5 to 87.5%, respectively. This study recommends the immense potential exploit of LAB as a probiotic to protect human health from the adverse effects of Pb and Cd toxicity.

Single crystals that do not obey translational symmetry have been reported in various material systems. In polymers, twisted crystals are typically formed in banded spherulites, while a class of non-flat polymer single crystals (PSCs) has been observed. Herein, we report the formation of scrolled single crystals of biodegradable polymer poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA).

The gut microbiome has emerged as a growing focus of research and public health interest, leading to the frequent exploration of probiotic dietary supplements as potential treatments for various disorders, such as anxiety and depression. In the present report, changes in inflammation and microbiome composition were assessed in model mice exhibiting depressive-like behaviors that were exposed to the probiotic HBUAS52074. It was found that HBUAS52074 alleviated the severity of depressive-like behaviors while increasing serum 5-HT concentrations.

The escalating prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections has emerged as a critical global health crisis, undermining the efficacy of conventional antibiotic therapies. This pressing challenge necessitates the development of innovative strategies to combat MDR pathogens. Advances in multifunctional drug delivery systems offer promising solutions to reduce or eradicate MDR bacteria.

D-lactic acidosis is associated with fermentative disturbances and is often marked by elevated levels of D-lactic acid in the blood, ruminal fluid, and synovial fluid in cattle. D-lactic acidosis is linked to various inflammatory manifestations, and although the causative factors have been extensively explored, the exact pathogenesis of the associated inflammation remains elusive. Notably, less attention has been given to D-lactate, a stereoisomer found in the plasma of affected animals, which may lead to D-lactic acidosis.

The transition from insulator to electro-responsive has been successfully achieved by earlier studies for some inorganic materials by applying external stimuli that modify their 3D and/or electronic structures. In the case of insulating polymers, this transition is frequently accomplished by mixing them with other electroactive materials, even though a few physical treatments that induce suitable chemical modifications have also been reported. In this work, a smart approach based on the application of an electro-thermal reorientation process followed by a charged gas activation treatment has been developed for transforming insulating 3D printed polymers into electro-responsive materials.
