Toll like receptors (TLRs) play a crucial role in regulation of innate as well as adaptive immunity. TLRs recognize a distinct but limited repertoire of conserved microbial products. Ligand binding to TLRs activates the signaling cascade and results in activation of multiple inflammatory genes. Variation in this immune response is under genetic control. Polymorphisms in genes associated with inflammatory pathway especially influence the outcome of diseases. TLR2 makes heterodimer with TLR1 or TLR6 and recognizes a wide variety of microbial ligands. In this review, we summarize studies of polymorphisms in genes encoding TLR1, TLR2, TLR4, TLR6, and most polymorphic adaptor protein, Mal/TIRAP, revealing their effect on susceptibility to diseases.

Passion fruit mesocarp is rich in pectin, and high-temperature/pressure modification of this pectin has been shown to yield bioactive fragments with anticancer potential. To clarify the structure-function relationship of passion fruit pectins, we purified native and modified pectins using two fractionation methods. Comprehensive chemical characterization revealed molecular weight as the primary difference between fractions, along with varying proportions of homogalacturonan (HG) and rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I).

Unlabelled: Male genital lichen sclerosus-induced urethral stricture is a chronic inflammatory disease with significant microbiota dysbiosis. However, dysbiosis inside lesion tissue and its correlation with gene expression in male genital lichen sclerosus (MGLSc) remain elusive. This study investigated the influence of host-microbe interactions on dysbiosis and differential gene expression in MGLSc.

Low birth weight harms growth and immunity in suckling piglets. The effects of chicken egg yolk immunoglobulin (IgY)-based product, Globigen Pig Doser (EW Nutrition GmbH, Visbek, Germany) (GPD), administered at birth on growth performance at weaning were investigated in normal (NBW) and low birth weight (LBW) piglets. The product comprises IgY antibodies against common enteric pathogens in newborn piglets, such as spp.
