Probiotic therapeutics represent a rapidly advancing field, with particular interest directed toward the engineering of probiotic biofilms for immune modulation and gastrointestinal (GI) health. In contrast to conventional planktonic probiotic cells, biofilm-forming strains exhibit enhanced resilience, prolonged mucosal colonization, and improved immunological interactions facilitated by their extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). These attributes confer superior therapeutic consistency and

Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are high molecular weight carbohydrate polymers secreted by bacteria, fungi, and algae, representing an important class of bio-based materials with wide ranging industrial and environmental applications. These polymers are broadly classified into capsular polysaccharides, which remain tightly bound to the microbial cell surface, and slime polysaccharides, which are released into the extracellular medium. The structural diversity of EPS, determined by variations

Finding out how Proso millet aqueous extract affected osteoporosis in postmenopausal women in the Guemar El-Oued area was the aim of this study. Three groups of 32 volunteers’ women were chosen; as control and menopausal women have osteoporosis before and after Proso millet aqueous extract treatment during 30 days. Some biochemical and hematological parameters were measured. According to our findings, the osteoporosis patient group had significantly higher levels of WBC, lymphocytes, RBC, HCT, P

Traditional antibiotics are often restricted by resistance, adverse effects, and diminishing potency. Hybrid drug design, which combines two pharmacophores in a single molecule, offers a new alternative. Chalcones, flavonoid derivatives possessing α, β- unsaturated carbonyl system, exhibit antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic properties. The Claisen-Schmidt condensation is used to synthesize the chalcones, which are then conjugated with aspirin fragments by esterification or amidat

This article examines the effect of taking the dietary supplements Toxidont May, Pantobiol 2, and Gepatobiol on the morphofunctional state of erythrocytes in patients. Cytochemical analysis of peripheral blood showed that consuming these dietary supplements for 6 weeks led to a significant increase (p< 0.05) in the concentration of sulfhydryl groups and lipoproteins in erythrocytes. An increase in the level of sulfhydryl groups indicates a decrease in the activity of lipid peroxidation processes

Pesticides, although used in large amounts in agriculture for pest and disease control, have a long-term presence in the soil, bringing about negative impacts on the ecosystems and people. However, one of the possibilities for dealing with the issue is through the microbial degradation of the contaminants, which is a safe and sustainable method for environmental remediation. The study was conducted to find out if the soil bacteria which can fix nitrogen, could also degrade pesticides. The soil s
