The emerging role of medical foods and therapeutic potential of medical food-derived exosomes.

Medical food is consumed for the purpose of improving specific nutritional requirements or disease conditions, such as inflammation, diabetes, and cancer. It involves partial or exclusive feeding for fulfilling unique nutritional requirements of patients and is different from medicine, consisting of basic nutrients, such as polyphenols, vitamins, sugars, proteins, lipids, and other functional ingredients to nourish the patients. Recently, studies on extracellular vesicles (exosomes) with therapeutic and drug carrier potential have been actively conducted.

Zika virus lateral flow assays using reverse transcription-loop-mediated isothermal amplification.

Owing to the global spread of the Zika virus (ZIKV) infection, field-ready diagnostics are urgently warranted. In this study, we sought to detect ZIKV using reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP). Briefly, we performed and optimized ZIKV RT-LAMP for the analysis of biological samples (PBS, urine, and plasma).

Enhanced immune response by vacuoles isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae in RAW 264.7 macrophages.

Vacuoles are membrane vesicles in eukaryotic cells, the digestive system of cells that break down substances absorbed outside the cell and digest the useless components of the cell itself. Researches on anticancer and intractable diseases using vacuoles are being actively conducted. The practical application of the present study to animals requires the determination of the biocompatibility of vacuole.

Multifaceted effects of milk-exosomes (Mi-Exo) as a modulator of scar-free wound healing.

Scar-free treatment is complex involving many cells in the human body but a very elaborate reaction. This process demands regulation of various growth factors on behalf of TGFβ3 around the damaged tissue, and it is also important to protect cells from inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress to avoid abnormalities. Here, we focused on bovine derived milk exosomes (Mi-Exo) and their scar-free healing potential.

Toxicities of Four Parabens and Their Mixtures to Daphnia magna and Aliivibrio fischeri.

The objective of this study was to determine toxicities of four parabens (methyl paraben, MP; ethyl paraben, EP; n-propyl paraben, PP; and n-butyl paraben; BP) and their mixtures to two aquatic microorganisms, Daphnia magna and Aliivibrio fischeri. Parabens are one of the widely used preservatives for personal care products, such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and food also. First, each paraben was treated to D.

Treatment of livestock carcasses in soil using and lysosomal application to livestock burial.

A method of rapidly decaying livestock carcasses is sought through , and furthermore, lysosomes are used to remove toxic microorganisms from livestock carcasses. The landfill was constructed on a laboratory scale. Optimized growth conditions of that could quickly decay livestock carcasses were determined.

Aptamer-Based Paper Strip Sensor for Detecting Vibrio fischeri.

Aptamer-based paper strip sensor for detecting Vibrio fischeri was developed. Our method was based on the aptamer sandwich assay between whole live cells, V. fischeri and DNA aptamer probes.

Surface Plasmon Resonance Aptamer Biosensor for Discriminating Pathogenic Bacteria .

In this paper, whole-bacteria SELEX (WB-SELEX) strategy was adopted to isolate specific aptamers against Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Round selection for V. parahaemolyticus was conducted 11 rounds, including two negative selection rounds.

Altering the Cyclization Modes: Temperature-Dependent Intramolecular 7-Endo-Dig vs 6-Endo-Dig Electrophilic Ring Closures.

In an attempt to construct 10-acyl-5H-benzo[e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepines via acid-catalyzed intramolecular alkyne carbonyl metathesis, two distinctive modes of cyclization were revealed to depend on the reaction temperatures. 5H-Benzo[e]pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepine-1-carbaldehydes with a substituent at the C11 position were obtained as major products at 90 °C as a result of intramolecular 7-endo-dig cyclization, while 6-endo-dig ring closure by electrophilic addition of nitrogen of the pyrrole to a vinyl cation generated under acidic medium followed by an unprecedented domino rearrangement process was observed at 40 °C in some cases, resulting in 5-aryl-11H-benzo[d]pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepine-1-carbaldehydes along with the former products.
