Methyldecanoate isolated from marine algae Turbinaria ornata enhances immunomodulation in LPS-induced inflammatory reactions in RAW 264.7 macrophages via iNOS/NF?B pathway

Meenakshi Bhardwaj et al.

Summary: This study identifies a fatty acid methyl ester, methyl 6,12-dimethyltridecanoate (ET), isolated from the brown algae Turbinaria ornata, which possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory potential. In vitro and in silico studies demonstrate the significant anti-inflammatory effects of ET, including the inhibition of inflammatory markers and the promotion of antioxidant enzymes. The findings establish a molecular basis for the anti-inflammatory properties of ET and its potential as a therapeutic agent.

Functional Performance of Plant Proteins

Kai Kai Ma et al.

Summary: Consumers are increasingly moving towards a plant-based diet, but some are avoiding common plant proteins due to potential allergenicity. This article outlines the factors affecting the functional performance of plant proteins and highlights current methods to characterize their functionality. It proposes a series of analytical tests to better predict the performance of plant proteins in foods.

Restoration of immunity by whole egg was superior to egg white or egg yolk in a cyclophosphamide-induced immunocompromised mouse model

Xiaomeng Li et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that both egg white, yolk, and whole egg have protective effects on immunity and intestinal mucosal barrier function in mice, increasing cytokine levels and improving humoral immune status. Whole egg was more effective in recovering damaged spleen and ileal tissues than egg white or yolk alone.

Semen Ziziphi Spinosae attenuates blood-brain barrier dysfunction induced by lipopolysaccharide by targeting the FAK-DOCK180-Rac1-WAVE2-Arp3 signaling pathway

Huayan Liu et al.

Summary: This research demonstrates the neuroprotective effect of Semen Ziziphi Spinosae (SZS) against lipopolysaccharide-induced blood-brain barrier dysfunction. Proteomic analysis reveals that SZS alters the expression of proteins related to cell-cell adhesion and adherens junctions. The study also identifies a specific signaling pathway through which SZS protects the blood-brain barrier integrity. Molecular docking analysis suggests that certain components of SZS bind strongly to signaling proteins. These findings contribute to the understanding of SZS as a functional food for preventing cerebral diseases.

TANK-binding kinase 1 mediates osteoclast differentiation by regulating NF-κB, MAPK and Akt signaling pathways

Shuai Lin et al.

Summary: TBK1 regulates osteoclast differentiation and function in bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) and RAW264.7 cells by modulating the NF-kappa B, MAPKs, and Akt signaling pathways. It also interacts with TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) to affect OC formation. Targeting TBK1 may be a potential therapeutic strategy for bone-related disorders.
