Adhesion molecules participate in a broad variety of biological processes, i.e. tumour progression and inflammation, through their involvement in cell-to-cell interactions and immunoinflammatory cell migration. This review describes the basic properties of adhesion molecules with reference to inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal carcinoma. Future therapeutic approaches in inflammatory and malignant disorders may include development of principles targeting adhesion molecules.

Obesity is a risk factor for thrombosis-related diseases and a condition that leads to vitamin D deficiency. Furthermore, orthopedic conditions are also at risk for diseases associated with coagulation and endothelial function. This study aimed to assess whether vitamin D supplementation in patients with acute (AOCs) and chronic orthopedic conditions (COCs) and coexisting obesity could affect coagulation and endothelial function.

DC-SIGN (dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing non-integrin) is a C-type lectin receptor expressed on dendritic cells and M2 macrophages, playing a key role in immune regulation and pathogen recognition. Its ability to mediate anti-inflammatory effects by interacting with specific ligands triggers pathways that suppress pro-inflammatory responses and promote tissue repair, making it a potential therapeutic target for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. DC-SIGN homologs in various animal species share structural similarities and perform comparable immune functions, offering valuable insights into its broader application across species.

Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the world, representing one of the main economic burdens in health care and research. The effort of research has mainly focused on limiting the growth of a localized tumor, but most recently, there has been more attention focused on restricting the spreading of the cancer via invasion and metastasis. The signaling pathways behind these two processes share many molecules with physiological pathways regulating cell adhesion and migration, and, moreover, adhesion and migration processes themselves underlie tumor potential for invasion.

Synbiotics, which combine probiotics and prebiotics, represent an innovative approach to developing functional foods with enhanced health benefits compared to their individual components. This study focuses on the production of synbiotics through the microencapsulation of strains isolated from traditional Mexican fermented beverages, contributing to the advancement of technologies for functional food development. Three strains ( LM07, LM19, and LBH1070) were microencapsulated by spray-drying using a mixture of maltodextrin and gum arabic as wall materials and inulin as a prebiotic.

Aging is associated with a decline in physiological performance leading to increased inflammation and impaired immune function. Polysaccharides (PLs) found in plants, fruits, and fungi are emerging as potential targets for therapeutic intervention, but little is known about their effects on chronic inflammation and aging. This review aims to highlight the current advances related to the use of PLs, with the presence of arabinose, to attenuate oxidative stress and chronic and acute inflammation, and their immunomodulatory effects associated with antioxidant status in monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophil infiltration, and leukocyte rolling adhesion in neutrophils.
