The skin acts as a crucial barrier and, upon injury, initiates complex wound-healing processes involving various cell types. Polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRNs) are well-known for their efficacy in enhancing skin regeneration and wound healing. This study sought to investigate the effectiveness of PDRNs derived from Chlorella protothecoides, a sustainable and scalable microalgal source, in promoting skin regeneration and wound healing.

is a popular probiotic species due to its safe and beneficial effects on humans; therefore, novel strains have been isolated and identified from various dietary products. Given that bacteria-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been considered as efficient carriers of bioactive materials and shown to evoke cellular responses effectively, -derived EVs are expected to efficiently elicit health benefits. Herein, we identified APsulloc 331261 living in green tea leaves and isolated EVs from the culture medium.

Probiotics offer various health benefits. has been used for decades to enhance human intestinal mucosal immunity and improve skin barrier integrity. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells have been recognized as efficient carriers for delivery of biomolecules to recipient cells, and to efficiently regulate human pathophysiology.

The anti-inflammatory effects of hydrogen peroxide-producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) against Candida albicans-induced vulvovaginal candidiasis in β-estradiol-immunosuppressed mice were examined. Oral and intravaginal treatment with these LABs significantly decreased the level of viable C. albicans within the vaginal cavity as well as the quantitated myeloperoxidase activity in the vaginal tissues when compared with control untreated mice.

Hydrogen peroxide-producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from women's vaginas and their anti-inflammatory effects against Gardnerella vaginalis-induced vaginosis were examined in β-estradiol-immunosuppressed mice. Oral and intravaginal treatment with five LABs significantly decreased viable G. vaginalis numbers in vaginal cavities and myeloperoxidase activity in mouse vaginal tissues.
