Chronic inflammation plays a central role in the onset of degenerative and metabolic diseases, and the adverse side effects associated with conventional therapies highlight the urgent need to develop safer and more effective natural alternatives. This study investigated the anti-inflammatory potential of Cinnamomum (C.) verum and Thymus (T.) capitatus essential oils (EOs), individually and in combination. C. verum exhibited strong radical scavenging activity and potent anti-inflammatory effect in LPS- stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. When combined with T. capitatus, the EOs displayed synergistic interaction, resulting in 5.78 and 3.71 − fold enhancement of the anti-inflammatory potency and improvement of the selectivity indices to 4.9 and 2, respectively compared with their individual effects. The combination significantly downregulated COX-2 and iNOS gene expression by 87.42 % and 87.93 %, respectively, and nearly abolished TBK1 expression (99.2 % inhibition). Molecular docking studies confirmed complementary mechanisms of action, showing that carvacrol enhances the activity of cinnamaldehyde by exerting stronger inhibition of COX-2 and iNOS, while cinnamaldehyde additionally targets TBK1. These findings provide scientific evidence supporting the traditional use of C. verum and T. capitatus EOs as natural food additives and highlight their synergistic potential as safe and effective alternatives to synthetic anti-inflammatory agents, with promising application in functional foods and therapeutic formulations.
慢性炎症在退行性和代谢性疾病的发病中起着核心作用,而与传统疗法相关的不良副作用突出了开发更安全、更有效的天然替代品的迫切需要。本研究考察了肉桂(C.) verum和胸腺(T.) capitatus精油(EOs)单独和联合使用的抗炎作用。对LPS刺激下的RAW 264.7巨噬细胞显示出较强的自由基清除活性和抗炎作用。与金针菇合用时,其抗炎活性分别提高5.78和3.71倍,选择性指数分别提高到4.9和2。联合治疗后,COX-2和iNOS基因表达分别下调87.42%和87.93%,TBK1基因表达几乎被抑制(抑制率为99.2%)。分子对接研究证实了互补的作用机制,表明香芹酚通过对COX-2和iNOS施加更强的抑制作用来增强肉桂醛的活性,而肉桂醛另外靶向TBK1。这些研究结果为传统上使用verum和T. capitatus EOs作为天然食品添加剂提供了科学证据,并强调了它们作为合成抗炎剂的安全有效替代品的协同潜力,在功能食品和治疗配方中具有广阔的应用前景。

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), posed a significant global health challenge and still demands efforts to develop new therapies. In this study, we investigated the potential of biogenic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized by the fungus Trichoderma reesei to combat SARS-CoV-2 infection. In silico studies showed that AgNPs, ranging from 7 nm to 50 nm, have high affinity for spike protein from different variant of SARS-CoV-2. Our findings show that AgNPs effectively do not affect cell viability in Calu-3 cells, inhibit viral infection in Vero-E6 cells and progression of infection in vitro. Additionally, AgNPs impair caspase-1 activation, lactate dehydrogenase release and IL-1β production by human monocytes. Moreover, our study reveals that AgNPs treatment significantly alleviated acute lung injury induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection in Syrian hamsters. This suggests that AgNPs treatment effectively impairs viral replication or propagation within lung tissue, highlighting its potential as an antiviral agent against SARS-CoV-2. Further investigations are warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of action of AgNPs and to assess their safety and efficacy in clinical settings. Nonetheless, our findings offer promising insights into the development of novel therapeutic strategies for combating COVID-19 and reducing its associated morbidity and mortality.
由严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2 (SARS-CoV-2)引起的COVID-19大流行对全球卫生构成了重大挑战,仍然需要努力开发新的治疗方法。在这项研究中,我们研究了由里氏木霉合成的生物源银纳米颗粒(AgNPs)对抗SARS-CoV-2感染的潜力。计算机实验表明,AgNPs对来自不同SARS-CoV-2变体的刺突蛋白具有高亲和力,范围在7 ~ 50 nm之间。研究结果表明,AgNPs在体外不影响Calu-3细胞的细胞活力,抑制Vero-E6细胞的病毒感染和感染的进展。此外,AgNPs损害人单核细胞的caspase-1激活、乳酸脱氢酶释放和IL-1β产生。此外,我们的研究表明,AgNPs治疗可显著减轻叙利亚仓鼠SARS-CoV-2感染引起的急性肺损伤。这表明AgNPs治疗有效地削弱了病毒在肺组织内的复制或繁殖,突出了其作为抗病毒药物对抗SARS-CoV-2的潜力。需要进一步的研究来阐明AgNPs的潜在作用机制,并评估其在临床环境中的安全性和有效性。尽管如此,我们的研究结果为开发对抗COVID-19和降低相关发病率和死亡率的新治疗策略提供了有希望的见解。

Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) have emerged as a potential wastewater treatment technology that utilizes metabolic processes of microorganisms present in the wastewater to disintegrate organic substrates and harness direct electricity. This paper reviews the potential of different wastewater types as a suitable substrate for microbial activities in MFCs. Substrate composition (carbon source, nutrient content and inhibitory compounds) directly affects the microbial growth, wastewater treatment potential, electron transfer rate and power harvested. Readily biodegradable substrates such as acetate and glucose promote microbial metabolism and electron transport, thus resulting in enhanced power generation. Substrates such as municipal or agricultural wastewater that constitute both simple and complex organic matter require longer breakdown durations but can provide MFCs with long term operational stability. On the other hand, substrates such as leachate from landfills, mining wastewater etc. are generally unsuitable for regular operations. The paper discusses the challenges such as suitability of various wastewaters, unpredictability of composition, presence of inhibitory chemicals like heavy metals or toxic organics that can subdue the microbial activity and reduce efficiency of a MFC reactor. It aims to identify the relationship between the substrate characteristics and MFC performance in order to select the substrate for achieving optimal output from MFC technology. The suitable substrates that exhibit optimal performance in terms of current and power output, coulombic efficiency, and reduction in chemical oxygen demand are identified.
微生物燃料电池(MFC)是一种潜在的污水处理技术,它利用废水中存在的微生物的代谢过程来分解有机基质并利用直接电力。本文综述了不同类型的废水作为mfc中微生物活动的合适底物的潜力。底物组成(碳源、营养成分和抑制化合物)直接影响微生物生长、废水处理潜力、电子传递率和收获功率。易于生物降解的底物,如乙酸和葡萄糖,促进微生物代谢和电子传递,从而增强发电能力。构成简单和复杂有机物质的市政或农业废水等基质需要更长的分解时间,但可以为mfc提供长期的运行稳定性。另一方面,垃圾填埋场的渗滤液、采矿废水等基质通常不适合常规操作。本文讨论了各种废水的适用性、组成的不可预测性、重金属或有毒有机物等抑制性化学物质的存在等挑战,这些化学物质会抑制微生物的活性并降低MFC反应器的效率。旨在确定衬底特性与MFC性能之间的关系,以便选择衬底以实现MFC技术的最佳输出。确定了在电流和功率输出、库仑效率和化学需氧量减少方面表现出最佳性能的合适衬底。

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response to microbial infection that is characterized by a spectrum of physiological and pathological disorders. Viruses have been identified with varying roles in the context of sepsis. Diagnosing viral sepsis poses a great challenge due to a lack of viral detection reagents and assays, contributing to the underreporting of prevalence. Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids (either DNA or RNA) that can fold into specific structures, enabling their binding with a wide array of target molecules with high affinity and selectivity. This review provides updates on advances in aptamer development for viruses implicated in sepsis, aptamer selection methodologies through Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX), and application of aptamer-based diagnostics and therapeutics. Additionally, several critical challenges in aptamer technology are addressed, with special emphasis on its analytical sensitivity, functional complexity, and translation to clinical practice.
脓毒症是一种对微生物感染的全身性炎症反应,其特征是一系列生理和病理紊乱。病毒已被确定在脓毒症的背景下具有不同的作用。由于缺乏病毒检测试剂和检测方法,导致患病率低报,因此诊断病毒性败血症面临巨大挑战。适配体是单链核酸(DNA或RNA),可以折叠成特定的结构,使它们能够以高亲和力和选择性与广泛的靶分子结合。本文综述了与败血症相关的病毒适体开发的最新进展,通过指数富集配体的系统进化(SELEX)来选择适体的方法,以及基于适体的诊断和治疗的应用。此外,适体技术的几个关键挑战被解决,特别强调其分析敏感性,功能复杂性,并转化为临床实践。

The efficacy of clinical treatment in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) may be influenced by interactions within the tumor microenvironment (TME), involving non-malignant cells such as tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). These cells are crucial parts of the complex and dynamic TME. High-throughput spatial profiling technologies show remarkable potential in identifying predictive biomarkers in HNSCC’s TME. Despite advancements in molecular characterization, the translation of these insights into clinical practice remains limited.
Understanding these interactions and the TME is pertinent for developing effective therapies and pinpointing biomarkers that predict treatment responses. Spatial profiling also provides comprehensive insights into the cancer multi-omics by characterizing diverse and heterogeneous cell type, cell density, location, and intercellular interactions within the TME. HNSCC continues to be a major global health issue with rising incidence and mortality rates. Although immunotherapies have been effective for some, they benefit only a subset of patients. Spatial profiling helps uncover actionable biomarkers by exposing tumor heterogeneity and immune system interactions, paving the way for more precise medicine in HNSCC. Although the clinical application of multi-omics tumor profiling is still nascent, these technologies hold promise in enhancing our understanding of HNSCC biology and immuno-oncology, guiding future precision-treatment strategies.
This review outlines the applications of high-throughput spatial profiling technologies in both research and clinical settings for HNSCC, highlighting their potential to improve therapeutic strategies through an enhanced understanding of the HNSCC microenvironment. The successful integration of spatial profiling technologies into HNSCC research and clinical practice depends on a standardized, multicenter pipeline that ensures data consistency, seamless integration, and scalability. By combining high-resolution spatial transcriptomics with clinical and genomic insights, this approach has the potential to refine biomarker discovery, enhance patient stratification, and optimize immunotherapy strategies, ultimately paving the way for more precise and effective cancer treatments.
头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSCC)的临床治疗效果可能受到肿瘤微环境(TME)内相互作用的影响,包括非恶性细胞,如肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞(til)和癌症相关成纤维细胞(CAFs)。这些细胞是复杂而动态的TME的关键部分。高通量空间分析技术在鉴别HNSCC TME的预测性生物标志物方面显示出巨大的潜力。尽管在分子表征方面取得了进步,但将这些见解转化为临床实践仍然有限。了解这些相互作用和TME对于开发有效的治疗方法和确定预测治疗反应的生物标志物至关重要。空间图谱还通过表征TME内不同和异质细胞类型、细胞密度、位置和细胞间相互作用,为癌症多组学提供了全面的见解。输卵管性结直肠癌仍然是一个主要的全球健康问题,发病率和死亡率不断上升。尽管免疫疗法对一些人有效,但它们只对一小部分患者有效。空间谱分析通过揭示肿瘤异质性和免疫系统相互作用,有助于发现可操作的生物标志物,为更精确的HNSCC药物治疗铺平道路。尽管多组学肿瘤分析的临床应用仍处于起步阶段,但这些技术有望增强我们对HNSCC生物学和免疫肿瘤学的理解,指导未来的精确治疗策略。本文概述了高通量空间分析技术在HNSCC研究和临床中的应用,强调了它们通过加深对HNSCC微环境的理解来改善治疗策略的潜力。将空间分析技术成功整合到HNSCC研究和临床实践中,取决于标准化的多中心管道,以确保数据一致性、无缝集成和可扩展性。通过将高分辨率空间转录组学与临床和基因组学见解相结合,这种方法有可能改进生物标志物的发现,增强患者分层,优化免疫治疗策略,最终为更精确和有效的癌症治疗铺平道路。

Leuconostoc mesenteroides are characterized by α-glucan production in the presence of sucrose. Although they lack the enzymes to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), strains of L. mesenteroides are generally tolerant to oxygen. Despite the wide applications of L. mesenteroides and α-glucans in food and medical industry, mechanisms underlie α-glucan synthesis, and their roles in oxygen-tolerance remain to be elucidated. This study aimed at functional characterization of the enzyme for α-glucan synthesis in L. mesenteroides CGMCC10064 and addressing its role in oxygen stress. 1323 was identified as a secreted glucansucrase via SDS-PAGE followed by MALDI-TOF MS and Western blot. Its enzyme activity was characterized via in situ polymer synthesis and function blockade by a specific antibody. Finally, 1323-encoding gene was cloned and expressed in E. coli. α-glucan was synthesized in vitro with recombinant 1323 and its potential in oxygen stress relief was investigated. The α-glucan obtained improved the aerobic growth of L. mesenteroides strains via reduction of the oxidation–reduction potential as well as ROS accumulation. Moreover, oxygen stress relief by the α-glucan improved the growth and survival of probiotic Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains under oxygen stress. These results highlighted the potential of a novel secreted glucansucrase and its α-glucan product in oxygen stress relief and cultivation and preservation of oxygen-sensitive bacteria.
肠系膜白色菌的特点是在有蔗糖存在的情况下产生α-葡聚糖。虽然肠系膜乳杆菌缺乏清除活性氧(ROS)的酶,但它们通常对氧具有耐受性。尽管肠系膜乳杆菌和α-葡聚糖在食品和医疗工业中有着广泛的应用,但α-葡聚糖的合成机制及其在耐氧中的作用仍有待阐明。本研究旨在对肠系膜乳酸菌(L. mesenteroides)中α-葡聚糖合成酶CGMCC10064的功能特征及其在氧胁迫中的作用进行研究。通过SDS-PAGE、MALDI-TOF MS和Western blot鉴定1323为分泌型葡聚糖酶。通过原位聚合物合成和特异性抗体的功能阻断来表征其酶活性。最后克隆了1323编码基因并在大肠杆菌中表达。用重组1323体外合成α-葡聚糖,并探讨其在氧应激中的应用潜力。得到的α-葡聚糖通过降低氧化还原电位和ROS积累,促进了肠系膜乳杆菌的好氧生长。α-葡聚糖对氧胁迫下益生菌乳酸菌和双歧杆菌的生长和存活均有促进作用。这些结果突出了一种新的分泌型葡聚糖酶及其α-葡聚糖产物在氧应激缓解和氧敏感细菌的培养和保存方面的潜力。

Mosquitoes, despite their frequent exposure to various mammalian blood components, including potentially aberrant cells, have never been reported to develop cancer-like conditions. This paper proposes a speculative biological model suggesting that the mosquito’s digestive and immune systems could naturally prevent the survival of malignant cells, offering inspiration for bioinspired cancer-therapeutic design. This perspective explores how the mosquito midgut creates an inhospitable environment through rapid pH shifts, potent digestive enzymes, and oxidative stress, leading to potential degradation of mammalian cancer cells. In parallel, the mosquito’s innate immune system, including antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), hemocyte activity, melanization, and reactive oxygen species (ROS), further neutralizes non-self-cellular threats with speed and precision. Together, these digestive and immune mechanisms offer valuable inspiration for cancer therapy design. This perspective posits that the mosquito’s intrinsic mechanisms for xenobiotic clearance and immune defense against diverse biological threats offer a unique, yet underexplored, biomimetic blueprint for overcoming key challenges in contemporary oncology, particularly drug resistance and the need for precision targeting. Emerging strategies such as ROS-based treatments, protease-mimetic systems, and AMP-engineered platforms reflect the potential of translating mosquito-derived mechanisms and their barriers into biomedical applications and drug delivery systems strategies. This article underscores how the mosquito’s natural defenses may guide the development of novel, bioinspired approaches to improve cancer treatment. Even though this idea remains speculative with limited direct experimental proof, investigating these mechanisms may offer inspiration for the design of bioinspired cancer therapies in the future.
尽管蚊子经常接触各种哺乳动物血液成分,包括潜在的异常细胞,但从未有报道称它们会患上类似癌症的疾病。本文提出了一个推测性的生物学模型,表明蚊子的消化和免疫系统可以自然地阻止恶性细胞的生存,为生物启发的癌症治疗设计提供了灵感。这一观点探讨了蚊子中肠如何通过快速的pH值变化、有效的消化酶和氧化应激创造一个不适宜生存的环境,从而导致哺乳动物癌细胞的潜在降解。与此同时,蚊子的先天免疫系统,包括抗菌肽(AMPs)、血细胞活性、黑色素化和活性氧(ROS),进一步以快速和精确的方式中和非自身细胞的威胁。总之,这些消化和免疫机制为癌症治疗设计提供了宝贵的灵感。这一观点认为,蚊子清除外源和免疫防御各种生物威胁的内在机制为克服当代肿瘤学的关键挑战,特别是耐药性和精确靶向的需要,提供了一个独特的,但尚未得到充分探索的仿生蓝图。诸如基于ros的治疗、蛋白酶模拟系统和amp工程平台等新兴策略反映了将蚊子衍生机制及其障碍转化为生物医学应用和药物输送系统策略的潜力。这篇文章强调了蚊子的自然防御如何指导新的、受生物启发的方法来改善癌症治疗的发展。尽管这种想法仍然是推测性的,直接实验证据有限,但研究这些机制可能会为未来设计生物启发癌症疗法提供灵感。

Heavy metal (HM) contamination significantly threatens ecosystems and human health. This review explores eco-engineered bioremediation strategies, focusing on the pivotal role of rhizosphere-associated microorganisms in detoxifying heavy metals. Rhizobacteria deploy diverse mechanisms—including biosorption, bioaccumulation, biotransformation, and biomineralization—to immobilize or convert toxic metals, with their efficiency strongly influenced by environmental factors such as pH and metal speciation. Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) further enhance phytoremediation by mitigating metal-induced phytotoxicity and promoting plant resilience under stress. Various scalable approaches, including in-situ and ex-situ remediation techniques, biosorbents, microbial consortia, and genetically engineered microbes (GEMs), show promising potential but raise essential ecological and regulatory concerns. Key challenges such as scalability, environmental variability, and the possible formation of toxic intermediates must be carefully addressed. Advances in omics technologies and a deeper exploration of native microbial communities offer promising avenues to optimize bioremediation outcomes. Moreover, a detailed understanding of plant–microbe interactions and the role of secondary metabolite signalling in the rhizosphere is essential to improve remediation efficiency. Future strategies should prioritize the application of functional genomics, developing bioinoculants tailored to specific environmental conditions, and implementing robust ecological risk assessments for GEMs. This review underscores the need for a multidisciplinary approach- integrating microbial ecology, plant sciences, and environmental engineering- to drive the development of sustainable, effective HM remediation technologies worldwide.
重金属污染严重威胁着生态系统和人类健康。本文综述了生态工程生物修复策略,重点介绍了根际相关微生物在重金属解毒中的关键作用。根细菌利用多种机制——包括生物吸附、生物积累、生物转化和生物矿化——来固定或转化有毒金属,其效率受到pH和金属形态等环境因素的强烈影响。植物促生长根瘤菌(Plant growth promoting Rhizobacteria, PGPR)通过减轻金属诱导的植物毒性和促进植物在逆境下的恢复能力,进一步增强植物的修复能力。各种可扩展的方法,包括原位和非原位修复技术、生物吸附剂、微生物联合体和基因工程微生物(GEMs),显示出有希望的潜力,但引起了基本的生态和监管问题。关键的挑战,如可扩展性、环境可变性和有毒中间体的可能形成,必须仔细解决。组学技术的进步和对原生微生物群落的深入探索为优化生物修复结果提供了有希望的途径。此外,详细了解植物与微生物的相互作用以及根际次生代谢物信号的作用对于提高修复效率至关重要。未来的战略应优先考虑功能基因组学的应用,开发适合特定环境条件的生物接种剂,并对GEMs实施强有力的生态风险评估。这篇综述强调了需要一个多学科的方法-整合微生物生态学,植物科学和环境工程-推动可持续的,有效的HM修复技术在世界范围内的发展。

Several cancer drugs show drug resistance, which is a significant concern for cancer therapy. Therefore, new molecules are required for cancer treatment as anticancer drugs. Recently, several natural bioactive components from medicinal plants have demonstrated anticancer activity and are being marketed as anticancer drugs. Eugenol, a significant bioactive compound, is found in cloves and other traditional Indian medicinal plants, such as cinnamon, tulsi, ginger, turmeric, and Japanese star anise, which have been reported to have significant anticancer properties. The present review highlights the anticancer properties of eugenol. It also exhibits different pharmacological effects (anti-inflammatory, cardio-protection, and neuroprotection). As an anticancer molecule, eugenol exhibits anti-apoptotic, anti-angiogenic, and anti-metastatic properties in cancer cell lines and in vivo animal models, which we discuss in this review. We also discuss eugenol’s effect on different signaling pathways in cancer. Finally, recent diverse anticancer studies of eugenol have been discussing the different cancer types, such as breast cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, gliomas, oral cancers, skin cancer, leukemia, colorectal cancers, osteosarcoma, melanomas, etc. The current review provides an insightful overview of the anticancer properties of eugenol in the treatment and prevention of cancer, ultimately benefiting society.
一些抗癌药物显示出耐药性,这是癌症治疗的一个重要问题。因此,癌症治疗需要新的分子作为抗癌药物。近年来,从药用植物中提取的几种天然生物活性成分已显示出抗癌活性,并作为抗癌药物推向市场。丁香酚是一种重要的生物活性化合物,存在于丁香和其他传统的印度药用植物中,如肉桂、土尔西、生姜、姜黄和日本八角茴香,据报道,这些植物具有显著的抗癌特性。本文综述了丁香酚的抗癌作用。它还表现出不同的药理作用(抗炎、心脏保护和神经保护)。丁香酚作为一种抗癌分子,在癌细胞系和体内动物模型中表现出抗凋亡、抗血管生成和抗转移的特性,本文就其进行综述。我们还讨论了丁香酚对癌症中不同信号通路的影响。最后,近年来丁香酚的各种抗癌研究都在讨论不同的癌症类型,如乳腺癌、胃癌、肝癌、肺癌、前列腺癌、卵巢癌、宫颈癌、胶质瘤、口腔癌、皮肤癌、白血病、结直肠癌、骨肉瘤、黑色素瘤等。本文综述了丁香酚在治疗和预防癌症方面的抗癌特性,最终造福社会。
