Surfactin effectively improves bioavailability of curcumin by formation of nano-capsulation

Mengyuan Shan et al.

Summary: This study explored the use of surfactin to prepare curcumin-loaded nanoemulsions (Cur-NEs) for improving bioavailability. The results showed that Cur-NEs with 320 mg/L surfactin exhibited spherical nanoparticles with uniform distribution. They also showed higher encapsulation efficiency, sustained-release characteristics, and improved stability. Furthermore, Cur-NEs demonstrated inhibition activity to Caco-2 cells through the activated mitochondria-mediated pathway. These findings highlight the potential of using surfactin to encapsulate curcumin in nanoparticles to enhance its bioavailability.

Therapeutic Effects of Crocin Alone or in Combination with Sorafenib against Hepatocellular Carcinoma: In Vivo & In Vitro Insights

Suzan Abdu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the therapeutic effects of the phytochemical crocin alone or in combination with sorafenib in rats induced with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and in human liver cancer cell line (HepG2). The results showed that the combination treatment of crocin and sorafenib had significant therapeutic effects in reducing liver toxicity, impeding HCC development, and improving liver functions.

The Expression Pattern of Bcl-2 and Bax in the Tumor and Stromal Cells in Colorectal Carcinoma

Nenad Kunac et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and pro-apoptotic protein Bax in colorectal cancer (CRC). The results showed that Bcl-2 was more expressed in the lamina propria, while Bax was more expressed in the epithelium of normal and low-grade cancer samples. The percentage of Bcl-2-positive cells was lower in high-grade CRC and low-grade CRC compared to healthy controls, while the percentage of Bax-positive cells was higher in the epithelium of low-grade CRC compared to healthy controls and high-grade CRC. Evaluating the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax could provide important information for CRC prognosis and treatment strategies.
