Article Abstract
Essential oils (EOs) have been widely exploited for their biological properties (mainly as antimicrobials) in the food industry. Encapsulation of EOs has opened the way to the utilization of EOs in the pharmaceutical and biomedical fields. Electrospinning (ES) has proved a convenient and versatile method for the encapsulation of EOs into multifunctional nanofibers. Within the last five years (2017-2022), many research articles have been published reporting the use of ES for the fabrication of essential oil-loaded nanofibers (EONFs). The objective of the present mini-review article is to elucidate the potential of EONFs in the pharmaceutical and biomedical fields and to highlight their advantages over traditional polymeric films. An overview of the conventional ES and coaxial ES technologies for the preparation of EONFs is also included. Even though EONFs are promising systems for the delivery of EOs, gaps in the literature can be recognized (e.g., stability studies) emphasizing that more research work is needed in this field to fully unravel the potential of EONFs.

20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3 can reduce the effects of oxidative stress and cell death in cerebral ischemia‒reperfusion injury (CIRI). Neuroinflammation is crucial post-CIRI, but how 20(R)-Rg3 affects ischemia‒reperfusion-induced neuroinflammation is unclear. To study 20(R)-Rg3's effects on neuroinflammation and neuronal preservation in stroke models and explore toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor-88/nuclear factor kappa B (TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB) pathway mechanisms.

The parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma brucei has a single mitochondrial nucleoid, anchored to the basal body of the flagellum via the tripartite attachment complex (TAC). The detergent-insoluble TAC is essential for mitochondrial genome segregation during cytokinesis. The TAC assembles de novo in a directed way from the probasal body towards the kDNA.

B-lymphocytes play major adaptive immune roles, producing antibody and driving T-cell responses. However, how immunometabolism networks support B-cell activation and differentiation in response to distinct receptor stimuli remains incompletely understood. To gain insights, we systematically investigated acute primary human B-cell transcriptional, translational and metabolomic responses to B-cell receptor (BCR), Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), CD40-ligand (CD40L), interleukin-4 (IL4) or combinations thereof.
