Probiotics and Diet Modifications: A Holistic Approach to Tackling Helicobacter pylori with the Help of the Gut Microbiota.

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a common gastrointestinal pathogen that can persist for decades and lead to diseases like gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. Conventional antibiotic treatments have limitations like resistance and side effects, requiring alternative therapies.

Advancing frontiers in skin offensive odor management: from innovative diagnostics to cutting-edge treatments and emerging technologies.

Skin bromhidrosis, commonly referred to as body odor, is caused by the microbial breakdown of sweat, leading to the formation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that result in unpleasant odors. While body odor is a natural consequence of sweat production, excessive or persistent odor can significantly affect quality of life, causing social stigma and psychological distress. Traditional approaches to managing body odor, such as antiperspirants and deodorants, have limitations, necessitating the development of more advanced diagnostic tools and treatments.

MLIF Modulates Microglia Polarization in Ischemic Stroke by Targeting eEF1A1.

Monocyte locomotion inhibitory factor (MLIF) is a heat-stable pentapeptide from . Our previous study found that MLIF protects against ischemic stroke in rats and mice and exerts a neuroprotection effect in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Microglia/macrophage polarization has been proven to be vital in the pathology of ischemic stroke.
